      2-4. have enough old ( daily cooked - ) meat-eaters, in every city etc. who are healthy and
      (3.1-2) lovely and smart. (4.) some, becaused studied, can use magice /spirit-abilities ( tele- kinesis etc ).
      ----
      5. animals suffer much less ( or only when get killed ) by good farmers than in nature ( often hunted ).
      5.2 mass- animal-factory are not needed but can be build very different.
      -
      6.1 everything in world is energy and info. animal /living-being vibrates more than plants ( little move )
      ( good years and 1 dying moment not change this ). (6.2) animal-meat is closer to meat-body-info than only plants.
      ----
      7.1-3 many, really sick people /body, can handle ( in mouth /teeth, stomach-acid, colon-length )
      only meat ( no- salt, oil, etc ), better than some- carbs, fats and fibers.
      -
      8. fruits etc with peels ( kiwi, pineapple, avocado. potatoes, nuts, etc ),
      not look and 8.2 not more delicious than chicken with feather.
      ----
      9. 3-5 billions live ( 8 b.illions = govern-ment number ). see, villages-size in china, india, etc .
      9.2 for more than 8 b. have enough ressources ( food, water, energy, spaces, building-stuff ).
      -
      10. governments ( and WEF this days ) and religions say since ever, eat less meat. 10.2 many vegan-youtuber

      ----
      11. life-goal is to make experiences and keep balance is sustainable /important ?
      11.2 why should death and killing only be wrong ? ( good for rulers ).

    One thing I found difficult when I was transitioning to mostly plant based (and honestly still struggle with occasionally) is getting enough protein. Though these dishes look delicious, it seems like some of them don't have a protein source. I would love to know how you make sure you get enough protein throughout the day or a video with high protein recipes.

    • @MadeleineOlivia
      @MadeleineOlivia  Рік тому +17

      I hear you! I have experienced the same and try and make sure I eat a variety of protein throughout the day. But not every recipe will be high in protein (vegan or non-vegan) and that’s fine with me. The focus/brief for creating these recipes in this videos was budget friendly and under £1 per serving. I have done quite a few high protein videos and recipes before though in other videos. Here are my most recent ones: ua-cam.com/video/yajszOYq8Po/v-deo.html and ua-cam.com/video/NVfZ8ZAxrm8/v-deo.html

      Have beans/lentils/legumes in every meal. For the first one, you could add chickpeas and red lentils/green peas. The second one, definitely red lentils or some lovely butter beans, and/or include beans/sprouted lentils in the side salad. The third one, any lentil would be perfect but it does have peas in there too, I think lentils verte (aka Bergen Linsen) would be perfect, or just green lentils. Always have some cruciferous veg with lunch and dinner, so serve these with some steamed broccoli, or add/swap kale into any dish, always add rocket to salads. All these little swaps help a lot. Protein is in everything but we are led to believe that veggies and grains don’t have any and it’s all in meat but plants have so much! If you got all your caloric needs for the day only from broccoli, you would still overdo your protein.

    Thanks for another great video. Your food looks sooo good, unfortunately I can’t each much of it because of a severe case of Chrohns disease. I don’t eat meat, but I also can’t afford proper vegan replacements because they are so expensive over here in the Netherlands, so I do eat eggs for protein. But I certainly take some of your recipes and change some food with food that my body can handle and that I can pay.

    Now cooking the stuffed bell peppers recipe. There is too much bulgur with carrots mix left. Same in the video. I think it should make at least 1/4 less bulgur and carrot mix because if you don't incorporate that mix somewhere, it will go to waste.

    I love all of your videos, recipes or not, but on this one I am wondering a bit about the seasonality of the ingredients: for me tomatoes and bell peppers are absolutely summer vegetables and I won't buy them in winter because they're not local then. Maybe it's different in the UK because you have to import a lot of you vegetables anyway? I don't know!
    So I would love to see more budget recipes with local ingredients please :D

      I hear you! I will add a seasonal budget video to the list (I did do one in November for winter!) Unfortunately with the restrictions I already have (all of my recipes being vegan to start) it is hard to always make my recipes seasonal. I am often recipe developing in advance, creating them to a specific theme (eg under £1 like this video, or high protein, under 15 minutes etc) as well as making sure they’re new and different to the hundreds of recipes I already have on my channel and website! I try my best to make things seasonal when and where I can but it isn’t always possible.

    Unfortunately, I have seen several times that you do not wash the spinach from the bag beforehand. You may not be aware that it is susceptible to salmonella pathogens. Specially cut lettuce in bags is more susceptible to salmonella or E. coli pathogens

    These look amazing, but not very much protein in them. Maybe some from the vegan yogurt or cheese? I'm guessing that these should be served alongside a protein source?

      They definitely can be if you like!

      They’re pretty easy to modify if you want more protein - a tin of chickpeas in the curry, or some lentils in the other two dishes. I like to take UA-cam recipes as a framework (for the spice mixes/sauces/techniques) and then add extra vegetables or proteins as I need!

      Plants have plenty of protein. Can bump it up by adding lentils or legumes but it is an utter falsehood that these dishes need to be served alongside a “protein source”, whatever that means.

    I like the series but I'm a little disappointed in these recipes. None of them has a good amount of protein and at least for the curry and stuffed paprika it would have been really easy to add some chickpeas or lentils. Maybe I'd suggest using frozen spinach and thereby making some space in the budget for a can of chickpeas or lentils. Where I live the bag of fresh spinach already costs 2,90€ (2,50 pounds) and frozen is a lot more affordable.

      As a team we put a huge amount of effort into this video so this makes us very sad (four of us were involved in creating this video!). It was a budget recipe video, and not a high protein recipe video (of which I have a few) so I hope you can see the main creative behind why these recipes were developed. Unfortunately when creating recipes it is impossible for me to make them budget friendly, high in protein, vegan, taste good, and other requests such as gluten free, sugar free, low in carbs etc etc. This is why I create themes for all of my videos and recipes :D

      @@MadeleineOlivia I see that and I'm not saying these recipes are bad. Just saying it would have been more wholesome to add some protein to at least one of them and I think it could have been easily done with the curry for example. I think it's important, especially for new vegans or people who are new to cooking to see that a budget doesn't have to restrict your nutrition :)
      I think you and your team are doing a great job creating and presenting recipes, so thank you a lot for that!

      Just add lentils/beans to the recipes when you cook them and shut up 🤷🏻‍♀️

    This is the first video I've viewed. I loved it until you dumped a *plastic* bag full of spinach into the pan, the mixed in vegan yogurt (presumably from a big *plastic* tub) :( I know even foods in cans/glass /paper are shipped to stores in plastic (on trucks powered by fossil fuels)...but I won't buy anything in a container that can't be recycled. I buy 90% of my grains, flours, etc. in bulk and all of my fruit & veg fresh, no plastic. YES! It is a pain in ass and yes it is a bummer to not be able to buy berries, pre-made hummus, tortillas, etc. but we just can not continue to use the "yeah, but" excuse. We have to think about the life cycle of the stuff we consume. That spinach bag and yogurt tub went into a landfill or will be burned in a toxic heap in Asia. All the cottage core vibes in the world can't erase that fact.

      Thanks for the lesson! I have been sharing sustainable living for years on my UA-cam channel. I think a lot about the life cycle of everything I consume. Please go back and check my others videos out. The yoghurt pot can be recycled in my county, and is always recycled in our home. I haven’t seen vegan yoghurt anywhere that isn’t in a plastic container. The spinach I have also never seen packaged in any other way than in plastic. Even from organic suppliers such as riverford. I’m very happy that you’re able to buy everything in bulk and without plastic. That’s very admirable. This isn’t the case for 99% of people. It’s important we don’t focus solely on the individual when there is a much bigger picture happening (large corporations, billionaires, the fossil fuel industry… capitalism as a whole).
      Consider also that this is my job. Sometimes I have to meet very tight deadlines to create recipe content (that I hope encourages others to cook more from scratch and eat more plants which therefore dramatically reduces someone’s personal footprint) and therefore I have to buy food for recipes that is available to me and on a tight timeframe, meaning I don’t have the time to source the food waste free.
