Great interview...I became a vegetarian after working at a dialysis clinic. Some were there due to conditions beyond their control and others could have simply made healthier food choices to reverse their conditions and chose not to. It just made me hyper aware of my health and what I put into my body.This food is killing us slowly and especially black people. It's worst than a crack addiction. I am a living example that you don't need meat to live and you won't look like a heroin addict. Even if you don't want to give up meat, cut back. Make meat a luxury. Your body and your pockets will thank you.

+MsANAIT Once I watched 'Food Inc', I gave up beef and pork immediately and only eat REAL organic chicken. I also do 'Meetless Mondays'. I had a second cousin who fit every statistic--black, overweight, sedentary lifestyle, smoker since teenage years. She had high blood pressure and high cholesterol. Because she was poor, she didn't have a primary physician. I tried to educate her about changing her diet--to no avail. At 53 years old, her 7 year old grandson found her dead the last day of Christmas break from school. The autopsy came back inconclusive. The rest of the family is in denial about her cause of death, but I know why she died.

***** Vegetarianism isn't very hard at all. I'm not completely veggie, but I forgo meat at least 3 times a week. There are tons of vegetarian casseroles that can be made. And veggies can be cheap if you shop the frozen aisle. Mushrooms are GREAT substitutes if you want the consistency of meat. They can be used in pastas, casseroles, etc. The portobello on the grill and dressed as a hamburger, with all the fixings, with a really good hamburger bun is beyond delicious! Also, BBQ mushrooms is the best! Just start slow. I've completely eliminated pork and beef and don't miss them at all. There's turkey substitute for ground meat and pork. If you watch 'Food Inc' and see how diseased the meat is and how completely unimaginably inhumane those animals are treated, you'll have all the motivation you need.

We as black people need this Uncle Rush! Thank you!!

Everyone needs someone like him in their lives. 😊

I love Russell Simmons...I can't wait til the day I meet him. He's my inspiration and he's helping me educate myself on becoming a Vegan and its so true what He's saying. Such a real man! I've been thinking of becoming one in the last 6months! #FinallyDoingIt! Much Love Russell Simmons!

I love interviews that keep it down to earth, it's like watching ya family have fun with conversation.

I gave up meat on the regular about 2 years ago, I still eat it once a week for variety in my diet but I'm not eating it daily. Meat is expensive as hell now, I cut my grocery bill in half by just learning to cook more varied vegetables. I also lost about 50 lbs from cutting it out. I even grow my own food in my backyard and my neighbors look at me crazy but at the end of the season, I'm bringing in months worth of food while they working their nuts off to pay for that $15 steak. I don't preach though, if you love those burgers then get it. It's your life.

Good for him for going against adversity in order to create a positive change within his community.

Mom The Ebayer 👍🏾 I’m gradually trying to get away from all starches & acid foods. But we have to be careful, not all plants are natural.

I tried Beyond Meat chicken strips thanks to this interview and I'm highly optimistic of weaning myself and my daughter off of meat. It was so good!

Vegan here. MANY THANKS to Russell Simmons for taking that lifestyle. I chose the same over 8 years ago. I did it because I'm an extreme animal lover. I saw some videos that were gross, like the cruelty in the beef industry. It made me sick enough to look up a few recipes on the Internet and follow the vegan lifestyle, as well. I knew that Russell was vegan at that time. He is an inspiration to all people, especially to vegans. And get this: I lost a lot of weight in a very short time without exercising! In fact, loosing the weight made me energetic. I used to be a couch potato but for the past 8 years, I've been an EverReady batterie. As a teen, I had a broken leg and suffered from and was treated for arthritis for many years, but I can now hop around the track on my bad leg and have NO sign of the disease. Anyhow, I could go on and on, but I just have to say that this interview was VERY MEANINGFUL and it would be so cool if you could find some recipes and vegan restaurants and take control of your health while ridding the world of cruelty, by GOING VEGAN. Thanks, again, Russell! Much love!!!

Good interview. I want to try these substitution meals.

Soy is not good for you either. It produces estrogen so us men don't need it and also it contains high levels of goitrogens. Goitrogens are compounds that inhibit the thyroid’s ability to utilize iodine correctly which could lead to hypothyroid problems.

Dena Newton Going vegan is not expensive at all. Start with your staples like rice, potato's, sweet potato's beans, veggies, fruits. Also check out Earthlings to see how the animals are tortured just to become meat on your plate. Good luck watching it, I couldn't get through it, it is terrible.
