Forest, you are so down to earth, and have a great outlook on life. Truly great interview, and so inspiring. One of the best advocates for WFPB I have seen. Thank you kindly, and wishing all the best. From a fellow Ausie in Brisbane
Thank you so much for the kind words - that means a lot! 🙏
Forest and I spoke on the phone for the first time last month. Solid guy. Looking forward to receiving physical benefits from his online training.
Looking forward to working with you! 💪😁🌿
Knowing how to prepare your own meals helps a ton with staying consistent.
It definitely does!
20 year VEGAN here YAY!!!
@@nicolawilliams5324 that is excellent. 35 years here, but not bragging or anything ❤️
That's awesome! 👏
Fantasic interview. I'm 4+ years plant-based and still figuring out how to talk about veganism. Forests's guidance here is gold.
Many thanks! I'm glad you found it helpful 🙂
What a great guy!
Thanks so much!
Awesome. And, yes, yay for Dr. Greger!!! Love that he was the first one Forest mentioned. That was the first one in my mind when you asked, too.
@@jessicaveganjessica2208 It's so great having a mother in the comment section who's raising her kids vegan 🙂
Thanks for watching! 🙂
30 years vegan, vegan forever ♥️
Heck yeah! 🙌
Refreshing vegan model for this lifestyle 😎
Thank you! 🙂
❤shared
@@natalieamore8195tank chew hairy mush!
Simply knowing how much consistent work you put out makes me feel exhausted. If I had your work-ethic, my relational-literacy program would already be up-and-running... :(
💚🌱
Articulate spokesman, excellent example of vegan strong and caring.
Many thanks for the kind words!
Awesome 😊🫶
Similar story to my sons. One of them now lives in Melbourne. The difference is that they were brought up by vegan parents and went to normal state schools 🤘💪🌱
Very cool! 🙂
@ForestNashFitness he's also a personal trainer 👍
@@twy6280 nice! The more fit vegans we have walking around, the better! 💪😁🌿
Thanks!
Thanks so much!! 💚🌱💚
Great, Nimai Delgado ! Ooops, sorry, force of habit 😅
Top fisique! Amazing to see your story ..
Thank you so much! 🙏
Very informative. God wants us to not eat animals for ourselves and their sake. God help us to do it.
Someday soon even the lion will eat straw.
"The wolf and the lamb shall feed together, and the lion shall eat straw like the bullock: and dust shall be the serpent's meat. They shall not hurt nor destroy in all my holy mountain, saith the LORD."
why does nobody refer to Herbert M Shelton as a good resource?
@@maxdecleyn people do, but why would they in this day and time? The first video I released this year with Dr Esser mentioned Shelton. I wouldn't necessarily call him a resource. The whole natural hygiene movement was just one of many examples where people have been moving in this direction throughout history. A resource would be more like the American College of Lifestyle medicine or the Physicians committee for responsible medicine or nutrition facts, True North, Hippocrates Wellness, etc.
@@VeganLinked Do you actually have any idea of the vast amount of practical information Shelton has put out in either literature or presentation?
@@maxdecleyn You should see my interview with Mark Huberman
i wonder how larch his own is.
Is ultra processed vegan food better than organic meat or eggs?
Organic meat and eggs cause untold suffering and death to defenceless kind innocent sentient beings.
No one should have to suffer and die because of your food choices.
You're saying ''organic'' as if it somehow makes products better, it makes no difference, it's just industry marketing. But any food that lacks saturated fat and cholesterol is better. Even if it's ultra processed. But any credible scientific body will tell you that eating cookies and chips is unhealthy. The comparison is kinda pointless, they are both bad.
Weird question, is the worst of a good thing better than the best of a bad thing... The best is legumes, greens, grains, fruits, veggies, mushrooms, nuts, seeds, herbs and spices and a variety of each; whole vegan foods.
@@alexred1038 organic meat and eggs cause untold suffering and death to innocent defenseless sentient beings.
No one should have to suffer and die because of your food choices. Your question is unacceptable !
@@Kristers_K organic grass fed beef and chicken are scientifically proven to be of superior quality than non-organic. Please disengage on the hyperbole. Nearly all centenarians eat some form of meat or eggs. You need a better retort.
I can grow rabbits, chickens and tilapia on a relatively small space to get my family's protein needs. Can anyone tell me whether it is possible to grow plant protein in a similar space to sustain a family of 4?
@@bruceparker6142there is every reason to be vegan and literally no reason not to be. It sounds like you are addressing land usage very specifically. I have a video that addresses land usage already that I put together years ago called "vegans kill". ua-cam.com/video/Br2uwoDdEhs/v-deo.html this video addresses land usage. It is titled this way because we do have an impact. But if you watch the video you'll see that our impact is astronomically smaller. And I cite my sources.
For example we could potentially feed up to 20 fold more people switching to plant sources of nutrients covering all of the essential amino acids just on opportunity cost alone. If everybody stopped eating animals we could potentially use 20 times less land and produce enough to feed everyone without having to "intentionally" kill any animals.
The reason why plants are more productive is because they are producers of energy. Animals are consumers. There will always need to be more plants/producers than there are consumers in a healthy ecosystem. Every step of a trophic level or the food chain 90% of energy lost. So plants will always be the most pervasive and sustainable source of food on the planet.
For every animal you eat another one needs to be available to be eaten. This requires having more than one animal to eat. And those animals have to eat and that requires growing food for those animals. An easy example of this is a cow. On the same amount of land it would take to raise a cow to eat every year I would only render enough calories to cover one person for almost an entire year. On that same land I can grow potatoes for example and feed up to 14 people. I can change the configuration of course and not just have potatoes just like you can change the configuration and not just have a cow.
Each animal you are trying to grow requires the proper environment to grow in. You could instead be growing food to eat directly. You don't grow rabbits, you grow plants. Rabbits grow by eating plants. You feed rabbits. And instead of growing plants to feed rabbits you can just be growing plants to eat. And you don't need to limit yourself to growing the same food the rabbit eats, obviously.
Also when you grow plants you are growing something that produces oxygen which is a good thing, you depend on plants to breathe oxygen which is essential. You don't try to get oxygen from a cow's fart any more than you try to get nutrients from eating the cow, or rabbit, chicken etc. the plant also sequesters carbon dioxide. And the plant fixes nitrogen from the air into the essential amino acids you need, what you call your family's protein. So go straight to the source and you won't have to be gravely unsustainable while supporting the most violent jobs and forcing animals into existence to needlessly be abused, slaughtered, and sadistically consumed.
@@bruceparker6142 so in short, I could probably grow more than 10 times the amount of whole vegan food on the same land you would grow rabbits, chickens, tilapia.
@VeganLinked That's nice but I was hoping for a bit of a specific response to the question. For example, my chickens vs my pigeon peas: I think for my space, my 20 chickens give me more than my pigeon peas and similarly for the rabbits. The added benefit is the animals provide manure for my plants.
I was vegan, but after experiencing a lot of health issues, I switched to carnivore. Feeling so much better now!
you were not really vegan
@@lindabervoets1361 You were never vegan. A vegan would not eat animals. If they were having difficulties learning how to live this way then they would consult someone like a nutritionist, dietitian, or physician that practices lifestyle medicine. They wouldn't go in the dumbest, most deadly and destructive direction pseudo carnivore.
@@lindabervoets1361 meanwhile there are vegans who have been vegan longer than you've been alive and never had any of your health issues. And here you're toying with a last ditch effort death-based elimination fad diet that literally has zero significant anecdotes, zero science, and only supports the most violent jobs and the most atrocious living for animals that inevitably end up in concentrated animal feening operations of which there are over 200,000 in us alone that are toxic to surrounding communities and the leading cause of deforestation, desertification, aquatic dead zones, species Extinction, antibiotic resistant bacteria, deadly pathogens and zoonotic diseases that kill millions of people, and increase your risk for chronic disease and all-cause mortality that you won't "feel" until it's too late.
@@lindabervoets1361 Vegan is like sex if it doesn't feel good you're not doing it right. Meanwhile so many vegans are stronger than you'll ever be, more successful than you'll ever be, etc. You should definitely actually try next time. Successful people have the capacity for applied failure. All you did was fail. I don't know why you would want to be a failure and be on the wrong side of history. It'll catch up with you though, you haven't been doing it long enough to know.
Were you really vegan? Liar Keith says she was vegan and it ruined her health - and she also said that she binged on eggs and dairy at every opportunity. She obviously didn't know what vegan means. Or even what plant-based means. I've been vegan for nearly 46 years and I'm in excellent health and always have been. You need to eat a good variety of mostly whole plant foods. A good multivitamin and mineral supplement is a good insurance policy because modern food is not as nutritious as it used to be. The victims on farms are supplemented with vitamins (including B12, minerals, essential fatty acids and amino acids. Humans do not need any animal products.
