I’m vegan so I can call myself an environmentalist.

I became a vegan in 2017 after listening to you, Jenny. It is one of the best things I have done ever and I was born in the 1950’s, so I have been around a long time. I was feeling shitty about myself this morning and you have reminded me of something that I got right, so thank you very much. I love you! 💜💜💜

13+yrs vegan here & couldn't agree more with you - while being&living as a vegan aka "practicing veganism" has only gotten easier year by year, it has also, at least for me personally, become more unbearable witnessing the lack of collective progress towards "planet-wide veganism" or adapting the bare minimum lens of not harming animals. heartbreaking. thank u for using your platform to speak about it & not shying away from what people want to close their eyes for.

My son is in his first year at university. Before starting his studies, he inquired about catering and was promised a vegetarian menu. Much to our shock, he was given "vegetarian food" which clearly had meat in it! My son has not eaten meat for 12 years and this is very important to us. The head of the university lied to our faces and denied everything...but my son still has the meat at home!! We can prove everything. Should I go to court?

Instead, he could approach or make a vegetarian society and have them discuss these matters with the college.

I've been 1st vegetarian, then vegan for 40 years. I laughed when you mentioned the comments and questions. Oh my! One woman (at a party no less) was actually mad at my choice of not eating or wearing animals.

You said exactly how I feel. Not necessary how many are killed, but the horrible, horrible way the animals suffer before they are killed. I also hate the thought of them dying, too. I just hate to see the light go out of a living creature's eyes when it dies. It has been almost seven years since I gave up animal products. It almost seems like cannibalism to eat meat now.

There are basic things you learn by experience that makes life easier. Freshly made falafel is best freshly cooked. Burgers made from beans, walnuts and mushrooms may be more work, but when grilled keep really well for 3 or 4 days in the fridge so are great for batch cooking to save time.

I'm a plant muncher. This is my 10th year of veganism. Honestly, my struggles has been finding a partner. My current one still eats meat and it deeply saddens me. Veganism has been great but I do miss cheetos. They had a grip on me and nothing has come close.

Your channel continues to be favorite, Jenny. I will be a vegetarian 2 years this September, and I can already feel the pull towards becoming a vegan. Would LOVE a video covering your vegan accessories.

Loved this video so much! I’ve been a vegan for almost 10 years, and a vegetarian for 3 years before that. I really resonate with and appreciate this.

For me l have three main points why I'm vegan. The first and obvious one is for the animals, no suffer for those who are weaker we all are here to live our life in peace and also it's better for the environment. The second one is spiritual, I believe the energy and emotions of the animals when slaughtered are kept in the meat which are mainly negative (fear, stress..) and when we consume the meat we also consume those bad emotions which stay in our system. The last one is for health, in my opinion and research it's just healthier to live plant based also the animals are given a lot of medicaments which I don't want in my body (I don't know why anybody would want this tho)

I cannot believe that I didn’t take this step much sooner. I had so many prejudices that all turned out to be ridiculously wrong. We need more education on this subject. I went vegan for ethical reasons but now that I am experiencing huge health benefits from my new diet, that became noticeable to me only after a few weeks, it makes me so sad to know that with non-vegan food we are not only hurting the other animals, we are hurting ourselves too.

Thank you for speaking about this. Vegan for the Animals-forever. ❤

I commented on your vegan post that was 2 weeks ago about my way of eating. I am both an ethical vegan but also as vegan it is the best for my physical, emotional and mental health. As I'm 84 now, my first interest was in my own health and age 16 (1955) I bought Gaylord Hauser's book and was called 'a health nut'. It was not vegan at all but gave me an interest in knowing a lot more. I became vegetarian and did revert occasionally to eating animal products, but since the 1970's veered between vegetarian and vegan until I became vegan. This is all as a dietary vegan- I still had leather, wool and silk clothing, almost all thrifted,, until I changed to living as a 100% vegan woman. This has given me wholeness and when I die I will be composed and my remains will go to a forever nature reserve here in Washington State, USA., where at least wild animals live freely.

I went vegan 10 years ago for ethical reasons too, and your videos really helped me back then to navigate the first practical struggles. And I couldn't aggre more with you - 10 years later no dietary sruggles, no health struggles, no social struggles BUT such a frustration with our failure as a species to at least reduce the harm we couse the animals

i've been vegan for more than eleven years, it was a bit hard since i live in south america, but now the options are vast :) although people are still obsessed with protein and b12, including the other vegan people! i actually found your channel through your recipe videos and it's been a pleasure seeing your evolution as a person and creator 🤍

I can actually disagree with that it’s easier to cook vegan just by changing ingredients to vegan. My easiest way have been to eat meals that are naturally vegan just to ensure the taste will be there. Like a lot of dishes from Indian, Indonesian, Thailand etc. I’m not a vegan but eat meat rarely and almost quit cheese on daily basics.

Thank you for this video. I am not a vegan nor a vegetarian. I only realised how bad it is to eat animals after I started dating my boyfriend - who has been vegan for 10 years or so. Now I try my best to eat no animal products and it's getting easier over time :)

I have been a vegetarian for 53 years, all my life. The only reason I am not vegan is cheese, but I am going to try no cheese for a month to see how I feel. I hardly use meat subs since they just look too much like meat so I use tofu and beans for my protein. Such a great video!

I'm in my late 60s and haven't eaten meat since I found out what it was as a child. My mom says that I was born vegetarian. I eat backyard eggs and sheep milk feta occasionally, other cheeses rarely.

I really appreciate the point on the "5 to 6 meals". The lesson I always heard was people eat about 20-30 go to meals they routinely eat through the meals every day, and the trick is just leveraging that habit even if it's slowly changing 1 at a time to switch your dietary habits.

I think good blood work is a wonderful flex! I always feel so proud myself.

Thank you so much for this very relatable video, Jenny. Especially your motivations for becoming a vegan, the bit of background on animal farming and the effects on animal welfare & our climate. You talk about this in such a calm manner, yet one can still hear and feel how important these factors are and how much impact all this information had on you ♥ Considering my diet: I am 100% an ethical motivated vegan as well, but throughout the years I learned about all of the other benefits of a plant-based diet (health, climate, impact on human welfare globally speaking) and I think that nowadays AND in the country I live in, it is the best kind of diet I could have chosen for me. I am very happy with this decision, emotionally and healthwise it feels great. I have no deficiencies and there are no foods that I miss. I would recommend to everyone to at least implement some vegan meals, so I think your tip with the 6 favourite vegan meals is really clever!

Ethical vegan since january 2011 and not having had a single moment of a regret since then, quite the opposite. May all sentient beings find peace and leave their journey through their life on this planet with ease and without regret.May we all help each other in accomplishing the golden rule and support everyone in the struggle for a life in contentment, no matter how hopeless it may seem.

Thank you, Jenny, for this encouraging and kind conversation. I've been all over the place with diet. Didn't like meat as a kid. Became a complete vegetarian as a young adult (I'm 57 now). Many, many years in I went off the deep end and ate some meat- all while feeling bad about the animals and myself. Now I eat chicken (rarely), eggs, and cheese and cream in my coffee. Goat cheese is my favorite food. How interesting that cheese is the main thing that people worry about giving up. It is what I think about for sure. Perhaps I'll nudge myself the vegan way.

I had been vegetarian for about 30 years and vegan for the last 3 years. My biggest hurdle was the cheese too. Loved this video and will be subscribing. So nice to hear someone who shares the same values and ethics.

Really enjoyed your video! I live in Texas. Sadly, the state is 10 years behind the curve. It’s big beef country, and I’m still treated like a lunatic terrorist just because I prefer to have plants on my plate. I’ve been Whole Foods plant-based vegan for about six years. I came to it late in life at age 52. Experimented with a lot of approaches and eventually ended up SOS free; no salt, no oil, no sugar. (maybe I should say SOS light, because I still use a little maple syrup from time to time. 🙃) my blood work looks amazing. I went to the doctor to get some of the post 50 standard tests done and the technician asked me three questions; do you have diabetes? Do you have high blood pressure? Do you have high cholesterol? I answered no to all three questions and burst into tears, because it’s the first time in my life I’ve ever been able to say no to any of them. Eating plants was the best thing that ever happened to me. So, I guess I’ll just continue to be a Texas freak. A happy, healthy freak 😉❤️

My mother was Swiss, so I think I had an affinity for cheese too! But at the late age of 65 years old, I decided it was high time to go vegan for my health, for the environment, and for the animals. This decision caused a lot of consternation at home but has now been accepted. I find a lot of support online in KZread videos like these. When I visited California recently, I hoped to find more vegan choices on restaurant menus. I can highly recommend Wildseed in Palo Alto, California, a vegan restaurant, but I was disappointed by the lack of vegan awareness at most non-vegan places. United Airlines, by the way, had very good vegan special meals. There were a lot of vegan items on offer in the grocery stores. I tried vegan butter and almond milk yogurt. I wish all those vegan meat startups well but I kind of want to ban the memory of eating meat, so I don't think I would buy vegan "sausage" or vegan "hamburger." I live in Japan, a place where veganism seems to be in its infancy. Thanks to some lactose intolerance in the people, there are some soy-based alternatives to milk and yogurt. But cow's milk, butter, cheese, eggs, meat, and fish still rule the grocery shelves in a country which has embraced many Western habits. I don't know if any of those new vegan products will be a success here.

Great video 💚 all we need are fruits and vegetables. I’m high raw vegan and love it 😊

Does wheat protein work for you? That would be sheitan for example. Especially with any health related challenges, take it slow! You probably already know this but try sheitan and other wheatprotein sources without otherwise changing your diet, if they work for you, then start replacing the meat with those. Mushrooms are also an option and nuts, but legumes and soy are the bulk of vegan protein so don’t be hard on yourself if you can’t do it. Your health should always come first! Becoming vegetarian is already huge, but also just dropping red-meat has the biggest environmental impact. Source local. Every little bit helps, I hope you find alternatives that help you stay healthy!

Once you 'wake up' to the horrors of animal agriculture, you can't go back. After becoming vegan you view the world through a totally different lens. It is difficult to watch the world be so unaware and so hypocritical. You also realise how ubiqutous aninal oroducts are, and oeople are consuming/using these mindlessly. Thanks for this video. I'm continually learning every day about new recipes and nutrition. I don't think this learning will ever stop. ❤

Where do you get vegan cheese? Im also vegan, in sweden, and i really do miss cheese sometimes! Like dessert cheeses. I havent gotten to trying to make my own yet, would love to find something to buy.

Exactly! The animal suffering seems to hurt my heart more and more. 20 years vegan.

Been vegan for three years, then started to eat animal products again because despite my cooking skills and expertise, I felt the mental pressure of restriction. Now I am very happy with a „flexitarian“ diet; means a lot of oatmilk, soymeat and tofu, but also cheese, Joghurt and every now and then some organic meat.

Jenny your videos are a delight, for both my ears and eyes! The shots, the light, the colors, all of it. Having been vegan myself for 11+ years, I 100% agree with what you’re saying! It’s such a small effort to reduce so much suffering.

Congrats on 16 YEARS of being an awesome human being!

Thank you for talking about this! It´s so important to sheer this knowledge! So many omnivores are just in denial about this all. I went Vegan for health reasons, but I couldn´t think about going back even, if my body could handle it. I am also against violence in any shape or form. My diet is quite difficult because I am not supposed to it legumes except for soy too. So the protein question is actually valid in my case XD So I am currently eating the cliche vegan diet - tofu and grass xD

I used to be a vegan for 6 years, and of course, I still stand by the idea that the healthiest diet is a whole food plant-based one. I re-introduced eggs and fish and the reason was ... interesting... (BTW I went vegan or with another (better) word WFPB due to health reasons ...ethics followed but was never the main reason, as much as I love animals, I have to be honest). I became an amateur athlete and while your protein consumption as a vegan is ok working out mediocre or light exercises, 3-4 times a week, being an athlete is a totally different thing. My muscle mass dropped significantly and I was not able to eat as much to put it back (I refuse to eat chemically processed protein powders), which is why I had to make a choice about what to add back. I still totally support vegans but when it comes to real sports, you can't keep your muscles on this diet, at least I did not manage...

Plenty of good complete vegan protein sources these days; my fave is tempeh. Simnett Nutrition is a good person to follow. Also Robert Cheeke and veganlinked channel.

I guess that would depend on what you called a vegan diet because protein is the easiest of all nutritional targets to hit. Sure, if you were doing all that fruit juice, smoothie & banana crap it might be hard but there are ZERO studies showing vegans are protein deficient & plenty showing they get upto twice what they need, without going into the whole protein product market. And look at all the successful endurance/triathelete types who manage. Or why not try a new hobby that's more inline with your values? Isn't there that pure Water Lentil stuff now (45% protein)? I'm not American so I never got the excessive protein obsession (but, at the same time, I never had to obsess about having a flat tummy or a bikini body either which seems to be the real problem with so many "ex-vegans" influencers these days).

@@jonahwhale9047 I was not a banana smoothie crap type of vegan. I ate a well-balanced whole food plant-based diet. Every time we measured my lean muscle mass, it dropped. There are not too many vegan athletes who do not take some kind of powder, or even if there are the performance will drop once you start losing muscle. It is doable but you will not be able to perform or evolve. As for choosing another hobby... I will not comment on this :) as you may probably know my answer. I might look into Water Lentil stuff, but as of now, I will keep on eating fish and eggs.

@@pinteranna6754 Your "answer" would reflect that your vanity is more important to you than the lives of the animals you pay to have abused, exploited & put to death. How can winning at play games be more important than their lives? It's not your job, it's not a necessity. For references sake, there's as much protein in buckwheat as eggs. Seitan has 17g to eggs 13g (per 100), lupins have more, so even adhering to your "natural only" maxim, it doesn't make sense, & shouldn't be impossible ... if that was the real reason. I suspect that it's not, so I'm calling BS. I'm not buying it.

@@jonahwhale9047 It is your call. The problem with vegans is that they always see the glass half empty. Instead of encouraging those who at least try and put down certain meats and food items, you blame them even more. If that person starts small, one must be encouraged... just to put down one thing at a time is a huge thing. I never said I was an ethical vegan, and if you read back I even mentioned this in my first post. I am sorry but that is the truth. I try to do the best thing and I am still looking into options to this day, but I will not give up sports as that is, at the moment, more important to me. I feel I took a small step backward, - but I did not start eating pork or chicken and I am not planning to.

I’ve gone back and forth limiting my animal intake. I would say I’m about 80% plant based. I do drink milk (I have a vit D deficiency). I also was diagnosed with cancer and was told to try to eat 100g protein a day. Usually I struggle to get anything over 60. I also have Celiac disease so I can’t have any wheat proteins that are common in the vegan diet. I’d love to hear tips about Celiac vegans!

I’m sorry for your health struggle. I would recommend you to check out those channels: “Pick Up Limes” and “Mic the Vegan”. Their approach is very science based and I find their videos helpful.

Best wishes for your health! Also check out Simnett Nutrition and Plant Based Dad's. They both have high protein vegan meal plans. And, I know these are not vegan, but maybe you could look into Cod liver oil or sardines for Vitamin D, if you can't just take a supplement. Perhaps you should speak with a nutritionist.

Vegan for 4 years and I love my diet.

I'm not vegan, but I do care about animal welfare. Starting with moving away from standard farmed/supermarket meat and moving towards pasture/grass fed organic meat - I try to shows my support of better quality of life of the animals this way. The other thing I'm implementing is trying different plant protein dishes to expand my protein and nutrients sources, in the result that is increasing my meat consumption in a week. This is were I'm at at this moment. I don't know what other changes might come in the future.
