I’ve been watching her forever as well, like back when she didn’t have eyebrows. I thought, this girl can rock this odd look so confidently, the same way she rocks veganism.

A reason to be vegan that I don't hear people talking enough about is microbial threats. I guess I must add here - I'm a microbiologist. The way we keep animals nowadays - crowded and at a huge scale, genetically uniform, stressed and in poor conditions, often without adequate healthcare - this is a ticking pandemic timebomb. Covid19 was recently spreading in mink farm and serving as a disease reservoir. Bovine tuberculosis causes around 10 000 human deaths every year. Swine flu pandemic caused several hundred thousand deaths in the 2009 pandemic and together with bird flu is a constant threat from farms. Farms are also a huge source of drug resistance in infectious diseases. Most of the antibiotics we use are administered to farm animals. And the stupidest thing - in many countries farmers still use our precious antibiotics for things like growth promotion and disease prevention (as a substitute for good conditions and hygiene). A terrifying statistic that I like to mention to people - every year antimicrobial resistance kills (as a primary and contributing cause of death) several million people... and the numbers are predicted to just go up.

I used to be vegan for several years but now that I'm unemployed I haven't been able to make ends meet eating the same vegan diet I used to eat since a lot of high protein vegan foods are too expensive, if I didn't eat a high protein diet I would still be 100% vegan. Atm I eat like a 90% plant-based diet, with a bit of tuna, eggs and low-fat dairy (I emphasize that it's low-fat dairy and not just dairy in general because the reason I eat dairy in the first place is because of protein, and when dairy has less fat in it it also has less calories so the protein to calorie ratio is higher as a result - and since the reason I eat non plant-based products is because of protein it would be hypocritical of me to eat low-protein animal-derived products. So I don't eat any fatty cheeses, or butter, or fried chicken, or ice cream, or burgers, or cakes, or anything like that). When people invite me out for dinner I'll always pick something vegan or if they ask me if I have any dietary restrictions I'll always say that I'm vegan. I hope that I can one day go back to eating a 100% plant-based diet once I have a full time job again.

@@upgradeplans777 Your problem is that you want everything right here, right now, without offering any ways to make it happen right here, right now. I live in a place where we largely depend on seasonal local produce, and when 6 months out of 12 is winter and you only get 6h of daylight, you can guess what our options for vegetarianism and veganism are. In my part of the world, vegetarianism and veganism with proper nutrition literally are a luxury for those who have three things: time to shop mindfully and cook at home, and the money to pay for both the time and energy spent, as well as money spent on the product itself. I get what you're saying and why you're saying it, but you're saying it from a massive ivory tower, and that is why you're met with hostility and refusal. People simply aren't able to make the instant change you demand of them, even if they're ideologically aligned with you, and want to go vegan. And to knock you down from your throne a bit... 200 years ago, my people were serfs. Serfdom is a form of slavery. So I don't know what I would've said, but I would've most likely been too busy worrying about surviving subsistence farming (which my family did until late 90s. Eastern Europe was a poor place then). Rapid and radical change was never driven by the poor and the peasants, even the French Revolution was financed and spearheaded by unhappy aristocracy exploiting the suffering of the poor, all its major leaders were nobility. So if you find yourself in a position to enact this rapid and radical change, make that change possible for those who cannot afford to make that change themselves. Reductarianism might not be enough for you, but you'll just have to deal with it, because you have the convenience of living in a vegan-friendly place, but most people do not, and you stand in front of two realities: the unattainable 'do it perfectly and do it now', and 'do what you can, and try to do more'.

And historically speaking we won’t abandon these industries just bc there’s an alternative that’s more ethical like it’s said in the video. Renewable energy technologies were heavily subsidized to the point where they’re extremely cheap now but we haven’t transitioned to them. Why? It’s almost like businesses are very risk adverse. Instead the goal is to prevent competition and innovation. The animal industry succeeded in having vegan products branded as discs and other unappetizing descriptions. Why would they not try anything in their power to prevent animal free products from jeopardizing their position? Wishful thinking might allow us to sleep at night it however has nothing to do with reality. We won’t get there trusting dairy and meat businesses to wake up and become ethical all of a sudden. We’ll only get there if we advocate for better animal rights protection mandating to put an end to this and if not at least heavily regulate and reduce it.

Seriously, I make my own "cheese sauce" for lasagna, tacos, pizza, etc. It's affordable, relatively quick to make, I guess it's healthier than most options, and it just tastes great (even for non vegans). I put like 3 tbsp of oil and a tsp (or two) of chopped garlic in a small cauldron until the garlic is fragrant and a little bit brown. While thats going on (or beforehand), i put a package of silken tofu, 1 tsp salt, approximatly 1/3 cup of water (could be beer instead) and 1 tbsp of tapioca starch (which add the gooey, stretchy feeling of melted cheese) in a blender and i blend them together. If I have nutritional yeast on hand I'll sometime add some. I then add the hot oil and garlic mix to the blender and blend again, then put everything back in the cauldron and heat it up for a few minutes while whisking quite often to monitor the texture. Once it boils, the tapioca starch will work it's magic, and when I feel like it's thick enough, i take it off the heat and pour it on whatever I want to cover in cheese. I've starded even bringing my own cheese sauce to events where every body else eats pizza or pasta with cow cheese. I can't tell how much money I've saved using this recipe!

Whereas I am a lifelong omnivore, who has never looked up vegan content, and yet, Jenny Mustard and Edyn Jacks. As well as Ellen Fisher were all heavily suggested to me by the YT algorithm in my early YT days. Edyn is no longer vegan on the advice of her medical team, but the way she made veganism relatable and the food she ate was actually appetizing- she’s the only one who made me consider veganism.

Omg, cheese was definitely the hardest for me. They used to call me a cheesatarian because I loved it so much. Then, one day something clicked in my mind. I stopped eating cheese years ago and do not miss it. 🙌

Jenny Mustard is a treasure.

I've been vegan since 2006, and I still miss real cheese. The only plant-based cheese I actually like is the Daiya cheddar cheese sauce. It's really gooey, and works great in mac n' cheese.

What multi-vitamin do you recommend? I try to only take select vitamins and minerals that I don't get quite enough of every day (according to Myfitnesspal), which is potassium, iron, B12, D3, and calcium. I'm always like 25% under my RDA for those! I stopped taking a multi because I felt like I didn't need the excess vitamins A, C, E and because most multis don't have minerals, only vitamins. My multi doesn't have hardly any minerals at all! I had no idea I wasn't meeting my RDA for iron or potassium until I started watching your videos and paying attention. Of course, I've never been anemic either, but if I'm consistently about 25% of my RDA short of iron, do I still need to take a small dose? I found a gummy with only 25% RDA so I had planned to take it with a vitamin C on the days I don't get enough iron.

I stopped being vegan after 10 years, and approximately 20 years since first going vegetarian. It just happened gradually, eggs first, then dairy then fish then meat (mostly chicken tbh, most red meat just doesn't appeal to me). I will be transparent and say that I've enjoyed it, but I am pregnant now and my body is rejecting meat. I've basically reverted to being vegetarian, with some fish here and there. I can't lie, this last year or so i have found it hard to ignore the guilt. But I think I'm going to slowly revert back, at least mostly. I'm not sure if I'll ever be vegan again, but I said I'd never eat meat again so who knows. Please be kind, everyone's different and has different needs and circumstances.

My great aunt told me that if I don’t eat meat then I won’t get protein and then I’d die. I’d been vegan for over a year and vegetarian for two years longer than that at the time so I found that statement pretty funny

Cheese? For me, it is marshmallows 😅 and the convenienceof eggs. Can't get vegan marshmallows in my country. Just Egg is like $15.

I pretty much disliked all cheese before I went vegan. It all had a nasty sweet/sour taste I never got used to. However I do occasionally like vegan cheese, it has it's own taste that is nicer to me than dairy cheese. Cathedral City "cheddar" and Applewoods smoked are the GOAT.

After I stopped eating cheese I really didn't miss it even though I thought I would. I remember smelling something and it smelled awful and so I asked what it was, and it was cheese. So for some reason, now the smell of cheese just digusts me. And I don't really like vegan cheese either. However, nutritional yeast has some cheese-like characteristics and it's amazing, I put it basically in anything.

I love cheese and I will never stop eating it. I do try to source it from less horrific sources though, but thats not due to ethical concerns alone. Cheese needs to come from livestock that is healthy and not from overcrowded settings. The more overcrowded it is, the more chance of nasties, although the processes tends to kill of most serious problems. Local farms with a normal amount of free range livestock is preferable, for your own health and for ethical concerns. People who want to end all enslavement of other species at all costs, may not comprehend how nature works. A sudden change is never good. It takes a lot of time to chance nutition world wide and we need to slowly alter according to what science can do for us.

@@oksanakaido8437 Yes, exactly - from all I've seen thus far, in the brief few weeks I've spent in Russia and Uzbekistan, it is both what can be obtained at the supermarket, but more than that, the very mentallity - You simply get kind of _"driven into"_ buying and consuming only carnist stuff as a matter of course, there is absolutely zero awareness to any Veggie ideas. There are beans and stuff, but even they(!) would contain that horror or another, and there's no real _interest,_ it seems, in having any Vegan, Vegetarian, or Environmentally sustainable kind of groceries. The society simply has no awareness - pretty much like what I've heard (though have not seen for myself) of (for example) the American deep south.

@@CitrianSnailBY ugh, it's a shame to hear that the vegan grocery situation hasn't improved there. Do you mean that animal products are added to stuff like dried or canned beans in stores? Cause that sounds very weird🫤 Also, where in Russia were you, was it the bigger cities or somewhere more remote?

Ah yes, Uzbekistan, where the vegan alternative to meat on skewers is vegetables on skewers. Okay enough to visit as a tourist, because the fruits and veg are amazing 😍, and the bread is delicious, and who cares if I don't get enough protein for one week, but actually living there and being vegan has got to be so rough. Can't just live on melon, grapes and flatbread.

@@oksanakaido8437 Indeed, it is very weird... right now I'm in Velikiy Novgorod, a Lovely town, but it wouldn't be possible to be Vegan here. There might be canned beans that are absolutely fine, but some time ago, in Belarus, I had accidentally bought canned beans which, along with the tomato sauce, also contained murdered Animal's body-parts; after the shock from that, and as my Russian is still very basic, I do not take any more chances...

I love, love, love Jenny Mustard ❤ She covers style, culture, society, ethics... the veganism is not really a feature of her channel. Personally, I became plant-based after many years of being vegetarian. I still miss cheese and eggs.

The daiya oat cheese melts nice but it has a weird taste. I do miss quesadillas and I crave meat sometimes but I won't eat it cuz I kno it will taste gross and I will feel gross. 😅

I've been thinking about obesity in the context of animal welfare, environment, and world hunger... obesity (overeating) seems unethical. I recognise how offensive that take will be to many if not most ppl. But that's what I am seeing, overeating as a secular sin.

My food which I never realized I even liked that much was marshmallows. I miss them sooo much. And I know you can find them without gelatin, but they don't carry them in my city.

As a kid my dad took me to a pig slaughter house it was the worst thing for me I was 6 years old I went vegan when I left home

Hi from WI 👋🏼😋💕

Your clarity and straight-forwardness never ceases to be extremely refreshing. Thanks for keeping on Swayze.

I love your content! Thx so much ❤

Well.. we've never eaten a lot of processed cheese but we did eat home made cottage cheese...and it was my favourite.. But we don't have any substitute for any of this.. atleast not economical.. I haven't found any alternative but I can't go back to eating regular cottage cheese becuz of my love for animals.. I just learned different recipes that tastes good but doesn't use dairy products.. (meat is gross.. i don't miss it but cottage cheese.. ) ..

I just love it how UV assumes to know what meat eaters think. No, Swayze, veganism does not grant you mind reading powers. Or any other powers.

What i miss the most is so random but sour cream (there are few that are ok imitations but they are to fatty and not the same), and eggs just plain boiled eggs.

You would think that people, when faced with the choice between two equivalent choices of foods with identical taste and texture, would indeed pick the less cruel option. But even that's too much to ask apparently. Look at the push against cultivated meat in the US. After Florida, three other states (Alabama, Arizona and Tennessee) are currently debating the approval of lab-grown meat. We're not even talking about replacing "real" meat entirely or forcing people to only eat cultivated meat. They are refusing lab-grown meat to even be produced and sold in some states. People seem to be willing to go to unbelievable lengths to protect their way of life despite overwhelming evidence that this way is immoral, unhealthy and destructive of the environment. It makes you wonder what hope there is for animals when people still reject veganism when offered what seems like a perfect cruelty-free alternative with no downsides to them...

i’d love a video from you about simone and malcom collin’s, and your perspective

Problem with vegan cheese is often it contains coconut oil, which is terrible for cardiovascular health. Almost the same health damage like animal cheese.

Recently discovered Jenny and I really like her.

Aw you haven’t heard of Jenny? 😮

Did you do those taped workouts when you ate raw? some of those can be pretty intense, I'd be worried about lack of electrolytes on that horrifically saltless diet

Honestly, real cheese tastes creamy and good.I couldnt find a vegan cheese that doesnt have that plastic taste. 😢

I’m middle eastern so I didn’t struggle to transition. We have vegan dolma/yabrah, Zaatar, falafel, tabbouleh, mjadrah, hummus, and much much much more. That said, I strongly miss cheese. I do like western food, and cheese is a staple product. But I can go without. Having unlimited variety of food is a privilege, not a right. I can live and thrive without it. Okay, I can get a bagel and cream cheese. Was it worth a poor cow getting inseminated and having her baby forcibly taken from her? No.

I love her! Suprising you haven't heard of her.

Awesome information :)

She is also a good writer.

I had a friend tell me recently, that even if they make eggs, meat and cheese that are comparable, in terms of taste, nutrition, availability, and price that are vegan to their non-vegan counterparts. She still wouldn’t eat them. She doesn’t agree with eating anything that’s fake and she says that we might as well just eat the real thing. I tried to explain to her that the whole point is that we get to eat some thing that’s similar, without harm being done to billions of lives and she basically said that she still doesn’t agree and that humans are meant to eat animals and we have no other choice. She’s also against any diet choices that aren’t for health reasons so to her environmental and ethical reasons aren’t a valid reason for changing a diet. She also basically told me that all the stuff about veganism in the environment was fake. I was so disheartened after that conversation, I wanted to cry.

I really like cheese but for me it’s not really something I can’t live without. My biggest craving is milk chocolate tbh

I work raising awareness for our non-human friends online and that alone (“alone” compared to those who witness it irl) is EXHAUSTING emotionally 🥺😞

I never liked cheese or dairy milk, which made it easier to go vegan.

The reason you like cheese is because your brains looking for fat soluble vitamins

Isabel Paige and Hitomi are both no longer vegan. Isabel never addressed it, which honestly bothers me. I bought her old cookbook for her vegan recipes. When she published a new one I was hesitant because she has been cooking with eggs and cheese…

Vegan cheese is a no for me so I just forgo it & never try to replace it

I can't understand how cheese and all other dairy is the hardest thing to give up. It's the exact opposite for me. Even as an omnivore I despised all dairy, especially cheese. If I was forced to choose between eating a hamburger or eating anything vegetarian with dairy, I would absolutely choose the hamburger. I absolutely despise all dairy products. I hate eggs too but not as much as dairy. Being a dairy and egg free omnivore would be much easier for me than being a lacto or ovo vegetarian. I won't even eat vegan cheese.

Depends if it was accidental/non-consensually, i.e. someone serving you something with animal products without you knowing about it; or intentionally, i.e. you buying it or asking for it. If the latter, then definitely. You blew it. You're not vegan any more. But if it was non-intentional, then it wasn't your fault. More like someone holding an alcoholic down & forcing a drink into them. It's a pain. As soon as you know think you know every angle for them trying to stick some animals in you, you'll find another one you didn't think existed, e.g. a restaurant or takeaway will change their processes & start frying chicken in the deep fry oil, or a new chef will be sloppy & use the same grill as for meat. It sure does requires a similar vigillance as an AA member,, but it will toughen you up as a person.
