      Me I have consumed dairy and meat products my whole life. I am terribly overweight, out of shape, been fifteen years since I had sex with my wife. Thursday night I lost my position on our volunteer fire department. Because Saturday we were supposed to have our two year physical fitness exam.
      I didn't bother to go because usually the fire chief would just write me down as I showed up and passed. It was like that for eighteen years. The reason was my father was the chief I barely passed and failed the exams anyway.
      But my father retired from the department and a family friend became chief so I got away with it for a while longer. But he retired and now got a by the book chief. Since I have went to only one other meeting missed every training session. Only went on three calls and didn't do anything on them.
      I know that if I was vegan I would have energy, attitude, and be in the proper physical shape to do the job.
      But I am greedy, selfish, and want my stomach and taste buds satisfied. If I go out young I will have a full happy stomach.

      So it’s really a fallacy of false equivalency.
      Don’t worry, since there’s no rational argument against veganism, the only thing you can do is throw out fallacies.

I have no problem at all, even with this really wild weather the last few years. :) And yes, in Germany, doctors are encouraging of a vegan diet. I am pregnant (third trimester) and my doctor was very happy that I am vegan, and gave me three separate government packets urging women to REDUCE their animal protein consumption. Also, with all the issues surrounding climate change, even older generations here are beginning to realise the importance of switching to a plant based diet. Veganism in Germany is more accessible and acceptable than it is in the States. It's so normal. Don't let people scare you! Come to Germany, eat some tasty great vegan food, and be socially accepted. :)

I feel like people here have a very different view on diet, it's all about appeal to tradition. And the fact that the DGE gets it all wrong is not helpful either.

      You think that now. My sister thought the same thing. Did you know that you brain doubles in weight the first 2 years of your life, and that your brain is made of fat. At 17 months old her daughter started having seizures, started with a couple a week, then sometimes multiple seizures a day. She tried to tell everyone in the family it was something else, but I was there when she was with the doctor. He told her because of the lack of fat in the babies diet, her brain was not forming correctly and specifically told her that if she didn't either feed the baby a formula, breast milk, or animal milk, he would be forced to call DCF for child abuse.
      Neveah is 8 years old now. Unfortunately those early days of living on rice and almond milk already did the damage though. No one in our family has had ADD or diabetes, she has both. She's has also become allergic to half the veggies my sister has fed her, her entire life. I would also like to point out that my sister over the last 14 years as a vegan is not the same person she used to be. I have no idea if being vegan is good as an adult, looking at the results of it after 14 years with my sister, I would say no but maybe she's doing it wrong. But she most definitely fucked her kid up in multiple ways, even if she say's that had nothing to do with it, like I said, I was there the day the doctor gave you her the run down on how fucked up she made her kid.

I don’t know if it’s the case with this guy, I expect it is, so those people need to hear the truth, so as tedious as it is to have to intelligently challenge these people, it needs to be done, even if only for those who watch the misinformation and believe cos it suits them not having to change!. What I find is these deniers are often very slippery and as soon as you prove them wrong they slip onto some other equally irritatingly absurd ‘argument’. Without even acknowledging let alone conceding the last point, so now I’m strict with these people I tell them straight, i won’t move onto another ‘point’ till the last one has been acknowledged and or conceded to.

    One of your comments really hit home for me when you were discussing the former vegans who stopped being vegan because of their meat-eating boyfriends. I was pesco-vegetarian, eating fish maybe once a week, but consuming a diet that was approx. 85-90% vegan. I was slim and healthy with a cholesterol level around 160. At 47 years of age, I was 5'2" and around 120 lbs. Within three years of getting together with my meat-eating boyfriend and eating animal flesh about 3 times a week, I had gained 30 pounds and my cholesterol was over 200 for the first time in my life. I had much more body pain. I was used to feeling and looking much younger than my age, but that totally changed. My boyfriend actually apologized for ruining my health. I found nutritionfacts.org and your site, and decided it was time to reclaim my life. I have now been eating a whole-food, plant-based diet for two weeks. (My boyfriend is trying to do the same, but sneaks in the non-vegan food during the day at work.) Happily, I have started losing weight and I anticipate getting back to my former good health (or being even healthier as I am no longer including dairy, eggs, fish, or seafood in my diet.) Thank you for making your videos - they are very inspirational! You are creating positive change in the world!

      craggle I went vegan because I had some serious health issues and my doctor didn’t want to prescribe medication because he said that my condition wasn’t bad enough, even though I couldn’t function in my every day life. I went whole food plant based and after 3 months - with following dr Michael Gregers daily dozen, I felt like a new person, I went to my doc to make my every 3 month check up, and he asked me what I had done because my blood samples were Great/NORMAL. For the first time since I was 14 - I’m 26 now, I feel like I can thrive and live the best life possible. And I am not a “crazy vegan” for me it’s all about feeling good and being healthy. You do you, if WFPB is nothing for you, that’s ok too! I think a lot of people just don’t have enough knowledge about what a balanced diet is, no matter if you’re a carnivore or a vegan. Peace out ✌🏼

    While harvesting can cause collateral damage, the animals living in fields actually adapt to it and learn to get out of the way (and take their babies with them) when they hear machinery. They also eventually learn what time of the year the machines will pass and prepare in advance.
    Basically field animals (as well as prey that are being hunted down in nature) have a chance of getting away and survive, farmed animals do not

    This sounds so much like my aunt.

I argued back and forth with her for 4 days before I gave up. I did more research those 4 days than I did in the whole of my college career and she still just refuted everything I said with some ridiculous rebuttal that had no basis in science or facts in general. People will tell themselves anything so they don’t have to change. 🙄

I corrected him with a series of links and references, and after 4 or 5 comments, he realized I wasnt going to back down, so he deleted my comment thread and blocked me. He didnt want his disciples to see the truth. Thanks again!

    Having gone vegan for fifteen days now, I did an allergy 'test' with my parents' cat (I'm normally allergic to them but love them too much to stay away). Previously, after so many minutes spending time with them, my eyes would start to itch just by being in the rooms they'd spent time in (even if they aren't there), or if they'd nuzzle me, I'd have a reaction. My skin would bump up and itch, and soon after, my nose and eyes would run, so I'd and would immediately to take an anti-allergy tablet. I noticed after a week of ditching the dairy (Day 1 of going vegan) my eyes were perfectly fine. Today, I nuzzled my cat's head with my forehead, let her sit on my lap ... Absolutely nothing. The only slight reaction I had was when she jumped off me, she accidentally caught my skin a little with the tip of her claw - There was a tiny bump as my white blood cells rushed to close the pinprick and then again ... nothing. I am SO HAPPY I am in tears of joy.
