How To Raise Vegan Kids || Mayim Bialik
Вставка
- Опубліковано 12 чер 2024
- Hey, it's Mayim, and I am successfully raising two happy, healthy, vegan children. Yes, it's possible, but I definitely get asked a lot of questions from non-vegan folks about how and why it's done. If you have questions, or if you're curious how you can start raising a vegan family as well, check out this video!

About Mayim Bialik:
You might know me as Amy Farrah Fowler from The Big Bang Theory or from Blossom but there are so many other parts of me that you might not be aware of! I’m trained as a neuroscientist, I'm a passionate activist, an observant Jew, a perfectly imperfect mother, and I'm a complicated human being like many of you. This is the place where I wear all of those hats - and none of them have a flower on them! ;)
"I'm a vegan!"
"Is that vegan?"
"Call my mom!"
I found this comment adorable. I am not vegan but I was also very vigilant when my kids were little of the choices other parents felt entitled to make for my kids. I was very vocal. X
😂 Same with my kid
mine lol!! Right i loved that
G_R_ I_M_ dude, why are you in every vegan comment section? get a fucking life dude.
@@sapphichorrors lmao
The cake thing is something I’ve thought about. My son and I aren’t vegan but he has a friend in class who is. He wanted to make cakes for the class but didn’t want her left out - so I made a vegan cake too. Then we found out one of his teachers is vegan as well so was very excited. My boy’s 5 and respected his friend: respect is often missing when people talk about dealing with others vegan diets being difficult.
MJBiddy1 you’re a lovely human
aw, this is so thoughtful!!
I am a Russian vegan. That’s not easy at all, I mean that ppl here don’t understand and look at you like at a Martian. It’s hard to find vegan products like tofu or vegan cheese, some nuts and veggies are very expensive here, but it doesn’t stop me from being vegan. Thank you Mayim, your videos made my day :) I’m happy to know that I’m not alone in that
Alisa K 🤦🏻♂️
Nice, my man! I hope by now you have it easier! You are doing the right thing 💪🏻
Yeah
.. it's kinda same here in India ... Tofu isn't available here either.. i just live off of whole grains , beans and lentils , local fruits and veggies ... And some seeds..
We don't consume a lot of nuts as they're expensive
This actually gave me tears towards the end of the video... just because the way how some people react to veganism and how passionate we are towards the welfare of animals, also I’ve been pessimistic thanks to people being so negative towards us, I know that’s quite common in a lot of vegans
Thanks for this Mayim ☺️❤️
keto cycler How tf do you come to this conclusion, probably a lack of research....
Many health organisations all around the world agree that we DO NOT need animals to be healthy.... 🤷♂️
keto cycler keto cycler You still never answered the 15 nutrients that’s missing from our diets, I’m waiting..........................🤣😭
If vegans are screwed because we need supplements then guess what... you’re pretty screwed too, you do realise that 40% of the US population has b12 deficiencies and many health and nutrition experts advise every adult to take b12 tabs along with other supplements🤣 many vegans only require b12 mainly if they’re eating a healthy plant based diet but we can actually get that from natural sources. I guess you’re gonna ignore the research that has proven a plant based diet can reverse heart disease, diabetes, can reverse certain cancers.
Again you ignore all of the high class vegan athletes and people that are still alive after never touching animals😂🤷♂️ I know people all around the world in many different countries that are alive and extremely healthy and guess what, they’re also vegan 😄😄✊
Also I very much doubt you know many vegans with your attitude otherwise you would actually know the truth
Do you even realise the amount of animal products that are flavoured with seasoning 🤣🤣🤣🤣 what tf are you even on about😂😂 and so what if something adds flavour, that’s the whole point🤪😂😂😭
So when am I gonna die? I’ve been vegan for 20yrs, I’m still not dead, being as you’re such a health expert please tell me how worried I should be about my arteries getting clogged with vegetable products🤣 please do some research and look at both sides of the argument otherwise you just look so foolish😂😂
People seem to obsessed with vegan protein. Chickpeas, lentils, tofu, nuts - its not rocket science
nuts are fucking gross, so dry and and gritty, I'm down with everything else though
My Friend Aj I don’t eat them myself, I drink them (nuts+water+blender=nut milk). Then use that in tea, coffee, or in smoothies. Or add nooch + tapioca starch + onion + garlic + salt + smoked paprika + blend more + microwave (15 seconds, stir, repeat) in silicone bowl until achieved desired consistency = creamy cheese.
@@WHALEx3 grind them up in a food processor add honey/agave dark cocoa and voila! Yummy nut butters.
Bit cruel not giving your kids real food
@@sersastark my god that sounds amazing. @themax2go I like to make my own cheese from probiotic cultures, I heard you can do it with coconut milk, I really want to try that.
Wait, did you make your kids lovers or haters of Sponge Bob?
The real question
Sponge Bob has haters??
i dont even think a hater of sponge bob exists
I have a spongebob tattoo.. coz there’s no way I’ll ever not love him!
Yes
"I want my kids to question things" I felt that 💖
Yea that's why she forces the vegan diet on them.
trav v What about parents who force meat diet on there children? What about parents who force religion on children. Just asking
unless it's questioning being vegan?
@@mannycalavera121 She said in the video she is not sure they will always be vegan, so yes, they can question being vegan.
Yep👍
I stopped eating meat in January this year, I feel much better. My next step is to become vegan.
Do you shit like there is no tomorrow?
@@comeaun6086 haha only in the first week. then it went back to normal.
@Michelle Lindsey that's interesting, I made a thorough research about vitmins and suplements before going vegetarian and i didn't find anything about Omega 3. I didn't eat much fish anyway so I don't think that'd be a problem.
Same!
Jonata Fontela sammeee I became vegetarian in January !! And now I’m gonna go vegan soon
As someone who grew up Kosher and has been vegan for 42 years, I just love what you’re saying!❤️
You're awesome, Chef AJ!!!!!
I guess you could say you’re still Kosher, then! :-) (I wouldn’t still be a vegan if it wasn’t for you, AJ. You are the only reason I got through the transition. I will always be grateful to you...and my Instant Pot!!)
I have a metabolic disorder where I cannot digest protein and therefore am on a diet where I consume as little protein as possible. I definitely agree that protein is in more places that you think.
Not all proteins are the same - try hemp seeds added to veggie meals, might get you enough protein without messing you up... unless you tried hem seeds before.
PKU? I have it also .
Pku
@@themax2go All proteins mess me up. I drink a formula that has all of the nutrition that I am lacking
@@stephensandiford3981 Yes PKU :)
Mayim, you so should do a series on how to cook vegan. Love the videos. 😀
It's easy man, just take vegetables, cook them to make sure there is absolutely nothing you can get from them and eat them so you tear your insides out. Then take pills for inflammation, diarrhea, constipation, headaches, depression, anxiety, insomnia,..........................
She should do a video on how to cook vegans
@@comeaun6086 ironically after I stop eating animal products I also stopped having diarrhea
@@chrissager22ify the stereotype that vegans are unhealthy or some who got sick because maybe they didn't follow a healthy diet, is just getting annoying.
@@fefefeda94 I know right people just don't want to take control of their health anymore and let pills do the work for them
Kids are so kind and compassionate, I don't think it would be very hard to teach them that animals are living beings and friends that we must respect. You are awesome Mayim❤
I am not a vegan, but I found this video really interesting. I know so many vegans that will preach about it and show utter distain for non vegan eating habits. It was lovely to hear you talk about it in an informative and non judgemental way. Someone explaining it like this actually makes me consider trying a vegan diet far more then listening to the people who bang on about it all the time. Thank you for this video Mayim! 😀
Enjoy inflammation.
If you do plan on going vegan try going vegetarian first it makes going vegan a lot easier and slowly reducing dairy products. Vegetarian/vegan cook books would be very helpful as well💛💛💛💛
Kyle Nick Thank you for your advice, I really appreciate it (unlike the other comment that someone left!). I shall get myself a vegetarian cookbook and go from there. Which type of milk is the best for a dairy replacement? I eat cereal & drink tea with milk, so would you recommend almond, soy or coconut milk (or something else)?? 🧡🧡🧡
Karen Baker omg I am so excited to hear that. A lot of people love oat milk I would recommend that for your coffee if you like sweet coffee, I don’t like it in my cereal though. Lactaid milk taste kinda like milk. So it would probably be better for your cereal. Rice milk is really sweet and so is coconut milk. Personally I don’t like soy milk but the people who do love it more that regular milk. I hoped this helped 💛💛
Kyle Nick Thank you so much. I am going to start trying to make small changes in my diet, and I think that cutting out dairy will be the first thing I try. Your recommendations are super helpful, and I really appreciate the advice. I am going to give oat milk a shot first I think, as I have heard good things about it. Thanks again! 🧡🧡🧡
"I don't want my children to be judgmental and annoying, I mean, I think they might be" Hahaha.
"but not in this arena" 😂
"I'm a vegan" "is that vegan?" "Call my mom!" Sure. Not annoying at all.
@@jeaninepetty4923 It's not annoying if they're asking politely.
@@kathleen4301 nah, still annoying.
@Amb Amb abortion is worse
Ur so Awsome!!!!! I so often see children mainly eating meat products, sugar, and starch. I see so many children with difficulty focusing and so irritable. What they eat is so valuable. We bring them up in the healthiest way possible and it gives them a wonderful platform for their life.
Naomi S or forcing them away from a balanced diet
Yeah sugar and starch are bad.
I'm not a vegan (and not even a mom) but I just love watching this and all of your videos. It allows me to understand and respect people who are. Lots of love from the Philippines, miss Mayim. ♥️
I didn't "raise" vegan kids, but one turned vegetarian at age 13, the other was in her 40's when she changed. When I respectfully eat with them, I'm always satisfied, full and have enjoyed a delicious meal. Love your videos!
Thank you for being a supportive parent. My mom has very graciously and sweetly supported my choice to be vegan. She's always up for trying new foods and even veganizes her recipes when my husband and I come to visit. It really means a lot to have that support. 💕
Thank you for including that being vegan is your spiritual & philosophical way of life. Some people don't get that it's more than just food...xo
Katie Pecotich so true and its also very sexual .
Yeah it's a religion that promotes depopulation.
Vegans are delusional man
@@Fluffyolphert Yeah, you're right. It's so delusional to think that animals deserve to live. Also, fuck them vegetables and fruits. REAL people ONLY eat meat. You know what? Our bodies were made to eat just meat, raw meat. FUCK YEAH GIVE ME SOME SCURVY!!!!!!!!!!!!!!1111
Exactly because only in a cult would a mother force her children to starve. Children need animal proteins and fats to grow properly. Their brains are deficient without them.
I'm so happy to have come across your channel. I have only seen 3 of your videos so far and I've subscribed. You got me hooked!
Sammmme.
I want to see more videos like this, and not only because I share your diet, but also because I found what you have to say to be beyond inspirational. The way you stand for your values and the strength and confidence you use to share your line of thought is remarkable!
I changed to a plant-based diet over 10 years ago and I'm so glad I did! I've never felt better :)
Great video! #plantbased #vegan
Gazzara5 Yes, definitely! 👍
Lewis Blanchard These people are transitioning to become vegan (which is perfectly fine, it can take some getting used to), or have decided to be on a high plant-based diet; either way, they are NOT vegan. Becoming vegan is not a fad, it’s a way of thinking; thinking about the welfare of animals, the environment, and your health. If suddenly you stop caring about these things, then perhaps a vegan can become non-vegan; but mostly these people just never were vegan to begin with. Some people just want to try it out for kicks!
Lewis Blanchard LOL 😆 My bloodwork says otherwise. I’ve been vegan over 10 years, and I’m not deficient. In fact my doctor (who is not vegan) has said whatever I’m doing, keep it up, she hasn’t seen bloodwork like mine in any of her meat eating patients. 😏
The Canadian Food Guide changed this year and now recommends a plant-based diet; it even removed the old recommendation of drinking milk, and have replaced it with water.
🤔 Perhaps you missed the memo? Current science proves a plant-based diet is extending people’s lives, and REVERSING heart disease. ❤️👍
Lewis Blanchard You can lead a horse to water but you can’t make it drink! 🤪
It’s been... interesting? ...but everything must come to an end. Farewell 👋
@Lewis Blanchard p.s. I don't take a B12 pill or shot. I do eat a lot of mushrooms and locally sourced veggies that are not radiated or washed of their B12.
You should get yourself onto "Google Scholar" and do some research on eating a plant-based diet and how it affects your health in positive ways. Reversing heart disease and diabetes :)
As a vegan mom to two vegan kids (12 yr old ASD and 3 yr old typical kiddo) thank you for this... you eloquently said exactly how I feel. I won’t judge others (as I have mostly omnivorous family/friends) but will try my best to instill my ethics in my kids. ❤️❤️❤️
feed your kids some nutrition pls
Feeding your kids your own agenda. Give them diary products they need for becoming strong and healthy instead.
I don't have children. Just love listening to you talk about veganism 😍🤩🤗
you are so charismatic and easy to listen to
I've been a vegan for 11 years and its the best choice I ever made! Love you Mayim xx
2 for me
14 year vegan here raising FOUR healthy vegan boys!
6 for me
@Gazzara5 Congratulations
@Gazzara5 Will you feel better if i post a comment giving you the attention you need?
this reminds me of how i asked the lady at my school cafeteria if i could order vegan meals and she told me that the government doesn't support vegan food for kids because "it is dangerous because there aren't all the vitamins we need in it"(i live in germany though). but actually the food we got served there was so unhealthy. i could order the vegetarian meal but sometimes they even forgot to cook vegetarian and then i had to eat french fries (funny because they are vegan i know). but that is not even near to the standard amount of vitamins.
i just realized that nobody supports vegan people, they actually try to make you eat dairy and meat. i think if there would be a supportive society that respects and supports the choice to be vegan it would be a lot less harder to turn vegan (e.g. i needed like 3 tries in 3 different years to stand up for my believe and to actually turn vegan then)
Watch documentary called "fed up" and "Eating you alive". That's why gov doesn't support vegans. Its crazy
dark blood he used to be vegan...
@@nocompulsioninlove2148 that doesnt Change anything
dark blood of course it does, he used to be vegan he shat himself in public when he got explosive diahorrea with intestinal damage, now he hates veganism with a vengeance. Btw almost all of the extreme carnivores on youtube and beyond are ex vegans. I am an ex vegan myself.
@@nocompulsioninlove2148 Correction. The "ex vegans" who are now "carnivores" are in fact people with eating disorders and a range of other mental illnesses. They are all people who followed various bizaare and obsessive eating plans and who in the past, I would hazard a guess, were on many different diets etc. The fact they are saying they had health issues is case in point as that is far from the norm for someone on an actual normal standard vegan diet. Second, the fact they are now saying that they are carnivores is simply hilarious. Depending on which but job UA-camr I'm thinking of, they are either trying to be a carnivore because again they crave obsessive/limited eating and this is another excuse or they're having a good old laugh whilst getting the attention they oh so craze or it's the third option that they actually think the word is carnivore as they are so ill-informed that they don't even know that the word they were looking for was omnivore.
Anyone having problems whilst vegan is doing something seriously wrong, just like a lot of people who aren't vegan who have poor health due to diet. Being vegan used to just be a way of eating that was as moral as possible that also happened to be good for your health, full stop. Then at some point social media occured and people with various issues latched onto it as it was increasingly in popularity, as something they could either promote or obsess about. I see so many UA-camrs just drinking smoothies, comsuming too much sugar and prancing around in next to nothing. That isn't normal. It is not veganism. It's called an eating disorder (or playing up to the cameras depending on intention/self awareness).
Back when I was only vegetarian, I had a "vegan" housemate. She hardly ever ate and she couldn't cook. I felt sorry for her and I was a decent cook so I would offer her my food but she would say it wasn't vegan (even tho most of it was). So I started only cooking vegan so there was no chances I slipped the wrong thing in. She would come up with excuses re I prob cross contaminated it etc etc. Eventually I realized all she ate all day was two tablespoons of something, eg corn, green beans and that was it. Now I would never call this girl vegan. She had anorexia. She just chose to say vegan as most people at that time back in the UK were either omnivore or vegetarian so it made for a ready excuse not to eat. When people started to accommodate her more, that is when she started inventing other allergies etc as the first excuse no longer served her. That is not veganism, that is an eating disorder. Some of the people now claiming to be carnivore are doing much the same or influencing those with issues to do so. Tip: don't watch vegan social media people who aren't wearing many clothes or who aren't eating normal sized hearty cooked meals and guess what, you'll be fine as a vegan!
Mayim, I myself am not vegan, however you’ve inspired me to add a greater vegan influence to my diet. ❤️
She forced her kids to be vegan bro-
Check out Dr. Nick Delgado. Or Dr. Milton Mills. And Hench Herbivore. All are great to give you info on plant based lifestyle.
@@lillilster1014 just like ur parents forced u to be a non vegan
@@KOTAPHYSICS They feed me protein. I'm sorry for my rude comment, my opinions have changed on this.
Same feeling, and its inspiring instead of restrictive.
Hummus is a vegan staple. Hummus power!
I think that is great that you are such a hands on mom and making healthy choices regardless if vegan or not.
I've been vegan for 22+ years, my husband is vegan for 9 years+ and our two boys (ages 5 + 6) have been vegan since they were in my belly....and we heard these questions ALL THE TIME. Your answers are exactly what we say. They are happy, healthy and energetic....and are so tall for their age that they are mistaken for 7 + 8. I'm a vegan chef myself and we are vegan for the planet, health and the animals. We don't force others to change who are not vegan and have family and who are curious about it. Our pediatrician has approved of our littles begin vegan and is fully supportive. Thank you so much for sharing your experience as a vegan family. 💕
Love this SO much!! Thank you for taking the time to share this!❤️
love everything about this video ! 👍🏻
It really is wonderful to see more people talking about this and especially since you're well known, that definitely helps spread this information to others a little bit further. I've been vegetarian and vegan for a grand total of 14 years, though this time around being vegan is significantly easier and overall much smoother. Less than lovely medical issues are under more control then they were last time, I have most the answers to what was going on and what specifically I am intolerant to food wise. For my son's recent birthday party, all but one thing was vegan, and people were honestly surprised by that, I'm almost done transitioning him fully over. Unfortunately not everyone on my or my son's side understand why I choose to have us live and eat this way, ultimately I am doing what's best for us, and thankfully am not getting a hard time from his pediatrician because of this.
No... everyone needs animal foods, especially kids.
Im just starting my vegan/plant-based journey and watching this is very helpful. Granted, i'm 21 and in college, but because I'm so new to this, I feel like a child. I hope you post vegan recipes or meal ideas! So excited!
When I started my journey I googled my favorite food and just added "vegan". I'm glad the internet is full of recipes :) Have fun exploring
I loved her acting in tbbt but now after watching her UA-cam videos I'm drooling over her. She is a beautiful person inside out 😍
I love you so much! I love that you WANT to raise your kids to question things. I feel like most people shun that aspect of childhood but questioning things is good! And they're gonna grow up as amazing as you
"above what's trendy and common place" - your kids will go far! Great video :)
@Tom H Reality > your feelings
What's trendy is veganism lol.
@Lewis Blanchard wow Lewis not only did u appeal to tradition (fallacy) but it doesn't even help your point. All historical "tribes" had lower life expectancy and worse health outcomes than any predominantly plant based population today.
Oh an Novac Djokovic just won Wimbledon on a plant based diet. Because I guess the best tennis athletes in the world prefer choosing "deficient" diets hmmmmm
Common place is the standard American diet which is 70% processed grains, soy, and sugar.
Thanks for sharing such great answers for those tricky questions!
Lovely video!! Im vegan myself for a year now and indeed, recognise all the questions people tend to ask. Also nice to see how you are consciously educating your kids... beautiful!
SO WELL PUT! Thank you for this!
Awesome!! You provided some well thought out reasons. Best of luck with your boys.
Wow, I've learnt a lot about vegans from this video and it just goes against the stereotype of protesters and people who brag about being a vegan. Thank you for this video!
Mushrooms such as the oyster mushroom and the shiitake mushroom are loaded with vitamin B12. Also different beans such as Canellie beans and black-eyed peas are fortified with B12. So it is very easy for people do consume B12 from plants.
Amaaazing. This is truly so helpful, thank you!!!
I'm loving the shirt;) and I'm early so yayyyy! you're great, Mayim:)
Wasn't aware you're a vegan. Good on you.
You are amazing! I love this!!! And I need that cookbook!!!
I found your channel yesterday, I love it, thank you❤️
We’re vegan because my son was pretty much born vegan. Meat always made him vomit. So we started to eat vegan because of him. Not the other way 😊
I'm sorry but you're not vegan, but rather plant based then
It was the same with us, my baby boy was born vegan so we study and make the best choice we could possibly make.
Maybe because most meat is full of antibiotics and hormones
@@pep-o-butt672 You don't get to define how other people categorize their diets.
ampersand08 I don't, the creator of the term does, google it lol
I enjoy watching your talks.
Thanks for this video!! As a vegan, I often get the question of how I’ll be raising my kids. Could you make a series about this? I’m curious how you educate your children about all the cruelty without making them sad/scared/judgy.
Another excellent video. I have a feeling that you are an excellent mom. Although my daughter is not vegan, I am thankful that my granddaughter is primarily vegan. We must always be thankful for small victories.
My parents were totally free range style of parenting and let me express myself how I needed too. They are BIG meat eaters but When I was 10 I decided I wanted to be a vegetarian so mum and I sat down and talked about it. It wasn’t til I was 26 I started eating small amounts of meat again (for health reasons) letting your children decide really helps.
Are you aware of how unhealthy dead animal flesh actually is?
I just love that you are vegan so much, you explain everything very smoothly and in a such well-mannered way! 💞💞
Thanks for this. I am so excited you started this.
I love that 2nd question. As a professional cook I get that when asked avout my diet (plant based)
Love this, I’m not vegan, nor am I contemplating going vegan. However I love the concept of getting more greens into your diet. Everyone finds the diet that’s perfect for them
Oh my gosh mayim I love you! Wish I could bring you with me everywhere! I get asked all these questions all the time!! Thank you for your postivity!!! ❤️ and being the voice of veganism!
I love that you are always so kind and matter of fact about your beliefs. I do not always agree with you, but I ALWAYS learn something. God Bless!
I love this so much. Thank you for making these.
I'm not a vegan but this video is really well done and informative, from a really balanced intelligent view point. Thanks you made me think
You been brainwashed, veganism is a death cult, you will only damaged your body based on a wrong belief, b12, b6, A, D, E, K2, aminoacids, you cant get all that and more from man made vegetables and fruits, please, wake up people, you need to start thinking
@@gospelbeliever1033 If I lack so many nutrients, isn't it weird how I (and most vegans really) don't show signs of *any* deficiencies in our blood tests ? Wow, must me the aliens
@@cla_rence control malnourishment, you still eating but not feeding yourself
Ex Shenanigan what gut issues do vegans have? And heart attacks?! They’re mainly caused by high cholesterol (which is only found in animal products), as B12 is a bacteria that’s been depleted from soils, animals are injected and supplemented with B12, so that you can get it second hand through the dead body of a supplemented animal. (And 40% of Americans are still B12 deficient even though they eat meat), vegans can just take a supplement directly twice a week and have higher levels in their blood than the average meat eater. Who has really been brainwashed? 🤔
Jonah Richards load of bollocks!
As if I couldn’t love you any more. You had me at the blog post about extended breastfeeding when I was feeling guilted into weaning my then 3.5 year old son, then all the references of they might be giants, and now this. I hope that with enough knowledge I can be as confident as you when explaining to people that my kids are vegan and that’s just how it is. I’m not the smartest or best at getting to the point of what I’m trying to say, and when I’m feeling like I’m being interrogated by someone I feel like I fumble my words and look sillier than I am because I’m thinking too hard about what’s happening in their brain 😂 I’m definitely buying your book. I don’t have any issue getting my kids to eat a varied diet. They’re 11,9,4.5 and 2.5 and the younger ones just love food and the older ones are that little bit older and just understand that consuming animal products is incredibly immoral. I’m struggling with the not raising them judgy though... I don’t know I think it’s what humans do, and it’s hard to explain to a 10 year old that “we don’t eat cheese because a beautiful cow had her new born calf taken from her while screaming and crying, never saw it again then was strapped to a machine for a few years before being killed just so your pizza can be a bit saltier” and tell them not to judge someone who pays for that degradation, pain and torture to happen purely because they can’t or won’t think about the truth. My 11 year old finds it really upsetting and disgusting that people can know this happens and still support the industry. No matter how much I tell him “you do you and they do them”. When people say “oh I just couldn’t, I love bacon/cheese/chocolate too much”... it’s frustrating and ignorant.
PERFECTLY explained. Sharing...
I’ve been vegan for 11 years, and just had bloodwork done. I take a B12 supplement every few days, and the doctor told me to stop taking it altogether because it’s WAAAY too high. Guess I get plenty from mushrooms, nutritional yeast, and a few other food sources...
Oh no cam get too high!? I need to go to the doctor
Love this! Thanks for sharing your compassion family lifestyle and how you make it work. Super inspiring! This is encouraging for when we have kids and will be raising a vegan family!
14 year vegan here raising FOUR healthy vegan boys!
I love that I found your channel.. I have always loved watching you but you being your self .. well that’s even better .. thanks for this channel - wendy
Hi Mayim, this video is so light and easy to watch and understand! I don’t have kids but I’m mostly vegan and my partner eats fish and cheese, no meat tho. That’s a progress . I was curious about raising kids as vegans and you just encouraged me! It’s important you bring this kind of info across!
And I didn’t know you had a book - so I actually just went ahead and bought it immediately after watching your video! Well done :) This was my first video of you that I watched outside of TV, so I’m curious to discover more! Keep it up. Nata
Thank you so much Mayim. This is such an excellent source for parents!
Can you do a video about your what not to wear experience?
Thank you for making this video. I was Vegetarian for 18 yrs and am Vegan now with no looking bk. I have kiddos who are very good, adventurous eaters so we will all be eating a lot more healthy.
I have posted this video to facebook. I get asked these questions too! Thank you Mayim! xxx
You are beyond awesome! I’m a 6 week vegan and incredibly happy and healthy. When someone asks me where I get my protein I tell them the same place cows get it. Greens.
So you eat grass ?
@@DerpBearGamingUK Hahaha!! These fools have no idea how cows convert fiber to fatty acids and that humans can't do that.
Jeanne,are you a ruminant?.
@@themav3ricm3thodd91 The body is incredibly efficient at making its own fatty acids from any abundant source of calories (carbohydrates, protein).
@@SomeGal Why do that when you can just eat them? Don't you realize that it's energetically draining to have to convert and create nutrients from resources rather than just eat the nutrients directly and absorb them?
Still feel bad for your kids to miss out on so much....
And... its not only vitamin B12 thats missing.
Mayim is the kind of human being/person/mother I wish to be as I grow. You're truly my role model in life❤️❤️❤️
Love from India🙏🙏
This is the best explanation I could have possibly received as someone who is not vegan. Respect! 🌱
How do you deal with family members who try to feed your kid things you don’t want?! Did you get push back from your ex husband about going vegan and raising them vegan?
If you want your kids to be healthy, dont give them vegan food.
Bill G completely agree, children should never be given fruit or vegetables. Only absolute monsters force their children to eat Vegan food.
@@meganrhiannon7375 i hope that is sarcasm lol i mean yeah fruits and veggies omg they surely arent healthy ha ha? Anyhoo i know a few people that were vegan kids. They seem just fine. Theyre still vegan. I went vegan 4 yrs ago for sheer laziness one summer. Realized its easy so i kept going.
Bonnie Hundley yeah it was sarcasm! I’ve been vegan for three years now. I was just completely baffled that this guy said it was unhealthy to feed kids vegan food. Does he not understand that vegan food is fruit, veg, potatoes, pasta, rice, beans etc etc?
@@BillBKK so don't allow them nuts, beans, seeds, breads, fruit, veggies? Those are ALL vegan foods.
I changed my dietary lifestyle 8 years ago, dropped 50 pounds and went from seven medications down to one. If we feed our bodies the nutrients instead of the garbage, our bodies will heal - cuts heal, bones heal, the body detoxes naturally. Thanks for sharing your healthy lifestyle.
You reduce all that inflammation.
I love your heart and mind set. You are an inspiration. Thank you.
I’m not vegan but I love the way you explain things to people especially raising kids. I truly salute you for doing a great job.
Vegan proteins: Beans, Green grams, Lentils and there are so many more.
Yes lectin goodness.
All toxic and undigestible.
avacado cinammon lol
Stewie Sewe-Geche theres some In vegetables too. And bananas. Vegan protein bars.
@Steroid how much is actually absorbable?...very, very little; if any.
A legit celebrity with solid stance on veganism. You're simply amazing!
Honestly thank you for this video!! I'm not even thinking about kids at the moment but the thought did occur to me that when I do have kids I will definitely be raising them vegan, but I was wondering how people go about this... Thank you for answering a few of the questions I had floating around in my head!
This was beautiful and well put. I just became vegan 2ish months ago. And it's still a learning journey. Thank you for this.
My #1 question would be if you would allow them to try animal products if they wanted to at some point.
i’m vegan but i ain’t having kids anyway.
@vulture cyclops ignorance really is bliss eh?
Can I ask why? 😅 I’ts just because I am currently thinking in not having kids. I wanted to have kids but now i’m not shure abaut it since our world it isn’t The best.
I’m inspired by this video!! My daughter is so picky and I wish she would eat more veggies and fruit so it’s refreshing to hear you speak of being successful doing this!
This was such a good explanation! Thank you!
Hey Mayim one of my American colleague asked me the same question how do i get my protien and i was equally surprised that how come she doesn't know that meat is not the only source of the protein.
Im from to Uruguay and vegan too. I love the animals and them deserve all our respect. Go vegan!!!
I never watched you on your TV show, but every time I come across you I respect you more and more.
Cheers, friend.
Please do a series on your fave vegan foods! PLEASE!!!! Love, love , love this video!
Hi Mayim, do you have any new vegan recipes you would like to share? I love your cooking videos :)
A bowl of anti-nutrients cooked in palm oil with a nice piece of soy lecithin in the middle.
It's quite an extra challenge raising vegan kids in a meat and dairy society. Congratulations on your good job!
Rebeca Cabral ya i mean i was banging a vegan chick on and off and she respected the fact i eat meat but said she could taste it in my mam juice . I felt bad but couldnt stop so she said look i will do it because i like it so much but i have to spit . I wasnt comfortable with it but i let her and that is called being mature and considerate
Rebeca Cabral humans are NOT designed to consume any dairy products and dairy actually depletes our body of Calcium
@@k8lynmae "humans are NOT designed to consume any dairy products"
this is your brain on veganism everyone, breast feeding your child now depletes its body of calcium.
@@@DerpBearGamingUK HUMAN breast milk is NOT included when talking about dairy products, OF COURSE, women should breastfeed if they are able.
Human breast milk is literally designed to be the perfect food for human babies, the same way cow's milk is designed to be the perfect food for calves. Each animal should only consume the milk of it's own species (except of course in surrogate cases where there aren't any other options, when it comes to babies of any kind, any milk is better than no milk, but even then human babies should not be given cows milk, it's even printed on the damn packaging).
Once humans have been weaned, they produce less of the gut enzyme called lactase meaning they can no longer properly digest lactose, hence the considerable amount of lactose intolerance in humans.
To summarise, no ADULT mammals are designed to consume milk. Ever been told that you shouldn't give cow's milk to a cat? Same thing, they're weaned, they're not babies, they don't need it.
@@Es_Tay Whilst yes a lot of people are lactose intolerant, there are a lot of people who also arent. Europeans have been drinking milk for so long now we have evolved to drink it with ease. It's not like 'cows milk isnt designed for us', it is very similar to human milk and provides almost every nutrient a person needs.
Love this Mayim! Thank you
You are always so inspiring in this funny and clever way! Thank you so much for sharing! xxx
A quiet calm explanation, very well done. Thank you!
Thank you for talking about this. I’m raising my son vegan and he’s only a year & a half just now (so not at that stage where he’s questioning why he doesn’t eat certain things) and no one else around us is vegan. It’s just reassuring to hear you speak about it. All of those questions have went through my head as in how to answer them to my son and the ppl around us. Just thank you 💕
Its child abuse.
This was enlightening. I always learn so much from your videos, thank you for sharing Mayim ❤️
Except she is contradiction the Talmud while being Jewish and claiming to believe in God (or G-d as you would write it because you don't understand the Old Testament (not that you have to if you are Jewish)): Sotah 26b, Sanhedrin 54a, 57a, 76b-78b, 85b, Baba Kamma 37b, 113a-b, 'Abodah Zarah 26a-b. Maybe she is in agreement with 'Abodah Zarah 22a, but that appears to be it.
This video increased my respect for you 1m times more
I love you mayim and you are truly my inspiration 😇💜 Keep making videos this world needs you 😊👍
I found this video very helpful and reassuring for me. I am vegan and I'm bringing my daughter up vegan and all I get is negative comments about my decision which makes me question myself. Iv been told I am cruel and I'm depriving her even tho I make sure she gets everything she needs! Thank you for making this video ❤
sorry to tell you but people are right tho
someday you will realise that
@@user-ep7tw1kx1e funny how I have a happy heathly 6 year old, who is hardly poorly unlike alot of children I know 👍
@@jessicalouise8068 i don't understand what's so funny in tgis situation but ok. hope your child is fine.
