    I absolutely love the podcast. I have been plant based for more than 25 years... I love what you said about a potential goal when you turn 95. I turned 76 in November and my desire is to live a long healthy. I don't take any medication and my daughter and granddaughter are not vegan able to knock. They keep telling me they are not ready. I did share your podcast with my granddaughter. However, thank you for what you do. I do have your cookbook and will explore more into your blog and see if I can get my granddaughter to cook a dish with me again. Thank you!

    It's worth mentioning that a lot of people are B12 deficient (~20-30% of people) and especially Vit D (most people living away from the equator, even more so if they have darker skin tones). Being vegan or not doesn't make much of a difference, these have to be supplemented for most people.
    P.S. B12 is not generated by animals, but by bacteria in a cobalt-rich soil, which is not the case for most land nowadays. Farmers supplement it in their livestock, so skip the middle step and take a tiny, cheap supplement.

    Just a clarification because many don't know: veganism isn't a diet, plant-based is. Vegans eat a plant-based diet, however, *very important* there's no such thing as 1 plant-based or vegan diet. Not eating animal products is a non-action, it's not a diet. The spectrum is all the way from a junk food plant-based person to whole foods plant-based (WFPB, healthiest for humans). Veganism is an ethical stance against animal abuse and exploitation, not a diet. If your health matters to you, a WFPB diet is optimal.

    I have followed you and your website and UA-cam clips for a long time. This clip was great! You look amazing! Eating healthy makes all the difference! I've been on an organic vegan diet since about 2015. I never ever have a health problem. I have no oil whatsoever in my diet. Dr Caldwell Esselstyn: "No oil!" A vegan diet never gets boring, contrary to what some people think. I eat a ton of vegetables, with fruits and whole grains and beans and seeds. Love this diet! Keep up the great work!

    I’ve been a vegan 54 years. We had few shops of use to us and had to form our own foods. My go to shops always Indian they had the foods I could eat.
    Im used to it.
    I prefer my own foods but am glad I get more GF flours I need, I eat tons of beans, grains, fruit + veg. My blood tests perfect last month again except I struggle with getting enough salt.

    Welcome back. Whenever the protein question comes up in regard to veganism I always ask people what animals are the most muscular on earth? After people think about it the answers come.
    Elephant - vegan!
    Rhinoceros - vegan!
    Hippopotamus - vegan!
    Gorilla - vegan
    Blue Whale - vegan!
    Brahman Bull - vegan!
    It seems obvious that if all of these huge muscular animals can build all of that size and muscle eating plants that there is no problem with not getting enough protein from plants.

    Am totally with you on processed vegan food. I'm a vegan, so why would I want to eat meat replacements? I don't like meat and I am attached to the principles of protecting animals from factory farming and death. People are delusional about animals being treated well. Any animal which has that experience is a micro number in the scheme of the billions of animals which die regardless. I didn't like processed food when I was a vegetarian since age 12. I am not interested in meat for any reason. I'm in Australia and the problems you're discussing Jenne are similar health wise. We don't have quite the same range of frozen vegetables and handy foods which you have in the States where we don't have the numbers here to sustain a lot of vegan products including processed ones. I've never had an Oreo and I don't want to eat them. I'd rather eat home-made better quality food every time.

      @thebowandbullet Ooooooh, wooow, thanks sooo much. I really need to focus on putting together the right meals as I do have Sweet Potato Souls cook book. To be more transparent, my blood type is 'O'. I crave meat as an 'O'. My metabolism is extremely high naturally, and I'm very petite. I wake up a size smaller!🤣🤣. My appetite has always been huge, and I really need at least 25 proportioned lbs. When I first attempted to even move toward it, I ate a lot of soy, only to discover that soy as an 'O' is a no no. I do it all, vitamins and exercise, but nothing fills me like meat. I'll continue to make some efforts. I apologize for sharing all this on a public platform. But you were so kind to ask. I hope that sharing a little, it gave you a little more clarity. Thanks for caring. 🥰.

      Did you get a blood test, or is this just a 'feeling'? If you're not feeling well, it could be all kinds of things. Being plant-based really improves health and immunity, but nothing will make you superhuman. You might be sick, or tired, or just need to look into something.

    Given soil erosion and the degradation of the plants grown, it’s difficult to derive elements needed for optimum health from the food supply. How beneficial supplements are depends on brands you trust to provide superior products. All brands are not created equally. Processed foods are the enemy. That includes vegan options. Whatever you eat, make your own so you know what goes into it. It’s not that difficult to figure out. Pay attention to your body. It talks to you.

      Whole natural plant foods, preferably organic, are only going to improve your health. There is seriously some kind of conspiracy lately to get people to eat meat. People are not natural carnivores. Natural carnivores hunt their prey, they have the instinct for it, and eat it raw, bones and all. They have a totally different digestive system. If you eat all the highly processed fake "meats" and other processed foods, which they are probably doing, you won't be healthy. The healthiest people in the world are vegan. If you eat a meat diet you will probably lose weight and feel better for a while. It isn't sustainable. Eating animal foods causes all kinds of degenerative disease.
