Yep, definitely could have been something like that! Kudos to the woman who helped out!

That's why the time codes are there!

Thank you for reporting 🫡

This is so awesome to hear!! Thank you for drawing my attention to it; going to look into it further 😊

Thank you; glad you enjoyed it!

I do too! Found a recipe that is pretty darn close. I haven't made it in a while and I think I'm due to!

This is a really interesting theory I hadn't considered; that the bias against vegan diets for their reliance on processed foods was actually started by WFPB doctors as opposed to carnists. As much as I appreciate and have learned so much from the plant based doctors, the 100% villainization of all processed foods does bother me. Yes, whole plant foods are the best for our health but we're human too and sometimes we need convenience or comfort (sometimes both!). I worry that this militant rejection of processed foods can lead to orthorexia in some people.

Funny story: one time my family went on a "moose safari." As I recall, we didn't see a single moose 😂🫎 However, our neighbor caught a moose in his front yard camera one winter which was so cool to see!

I agree! It's amazing when people give it up they tend to really just "give it up" altogether rather than figuring out how to continue reducing harm.

Sorry but this is unfair to people who need meat and in the midst of a changing culture are treated like they are "unethical". What is going on at the olympics is actually kind of unfair. Your diet should not je forced on others. Please be aware of high horses and what angle you're speaking from.

Yes, of course. A lot of these articles mis-label things, as I am even guilty of at times. I think most of my viewers know, though, that when I say "vegan athlete" I don't necessarily mean they follow a full vegan lifestyle, but rather a vegan diet.

Interesting--and ahh, yes, the Odwalla days, where did they go? (PS I just googled "Odwalla" and the top of the search was dominated by Owala water bottles--it seems we have moved on as a society 😂)

@@TotallyForkable they went to our memories of course. I will never forget berries gomega! Others haven't either.

Interesting--I don't think I've ever had those!

@@TotallyForkable I like the kor brand - they're pretty good. It's like vive organics. You probably haven't had them - because they're located in malibu.

That makes sense!

You know of her or know her personally?

@@TotallyForkable I know of her

Thank you for sharing this; it's amazing to hear yet another plant-based athlete success story!! I'm sure your competitors are amazed 😊

So glad you enjoyed it!! 🙏🏻🇮🇪

I think your quote got cut out!! I want to hear the thing you've already encountered 😂 edit: never mind I didn't realize the video you were commenting on. Yes, prepare yourself; you will be getting it a lot!

That does make sense, and that would be hilariously horrifying!! 🙈 Since I can never help myself in talking about figure skating and this is oddly related, there was a major doping scandal at the 2022 Olympics surrounding then-15-year-old Kamila Valieva testing positive for a banned substance. Her team came up with an elaborate series of excuses. The final/best one was that her grandmother made her a strawberry shortcake and cut the strawberries on the same cutting board as her grandpa's heart medication, and then she ate a copious amount of the strawberry shortcake which is how the drug ended up in her system 🫠 So figure skating fans often joke about the "drugged strawberries" 😂💉🍓

Yes, I imagine most athletes are at least curious about it having seen how many incredible performances have been achieved by other athletes on plant based diets!

Absolutely! The truth is their worst nightmare.

Thanks for watching!!

🤣💪🏻

Hope your testosterone levels, nightly blood glucose levels, artery clogging, stroke risk, gut health, and body odor are holding up well. Quite a lot of you carnivore cultists around these days, it's the new "thing" I guess. I don't think anyone could make it 5 years on this insanely deadly diet, but I've seen a couple of you claim otherwise

Ok good luck with that.

strange - because I had bleeding gums when I ate animal products and so do many other people I know - not to mention loose teeth. If you want teeth tightening - rose geranium is known for that. Vitamin C is the way to avoid scurvy - I'd like to see much of that in animal products. I mean didn't you see which foods were triggering these issues before jumping to carnivore? Realize not every plant is going to be healthy. If you eat daffodil roots instead of onions, poison sumac instead of sumac berries - and say switching to carnivore made you feel better - well of course! Plant-based isn't veganism - so yes, you can get very ill on plants - but that means you just didn't do veganism - to steer you in the right direction. Also - if you get cramps - it's more basil and barley grass powder for calcium, and baking soda to neutralize the lactic acid. I doubt drinking more milk with lactic acid helps.

@@extropiantranshuman I also had bleeding gums for 16 years when I was omnivore and a heavy meat eater :)

@@Meathead-10810 I know what you mean - it's the eggs that really got me. Once I went plant-based - that went away for me.

🍓😊

you're talking about the snatch right?

@@extropiantranshuman 😸

LOLOL

There's still 19 months until Milan! 🤞🏻💪🏻

This is an astute observation. Yes, it seems like 2018-2019 was somewhat of a "heyday" for the "plant based revolution," with lots of excitement for mock meats largely thanks to Beyond Meat's successful IPO. Then of course a flurry of influencers jumping on the "plant-based" bandwagon to promote its health benefits, much of which was tinged with diet culture. I feel like now we're in a bit of a "course correction" phase; educating people on what veganism is really about, more and more research coming out about the health benefits of a plant-based diet, etc. I think TikTok has played a sizable role in this course correction; I see more and more sympathy for animals online and public outrage at celebrities promoting animal exploitation.

This is wrong, that is a snatch. A clean and jerk does have a rest. A "clean" brings the bar to the chest, where you rest it for a bit, and then you "jerk" by pushing the weight up overhead. This involves a quick, jumpy movement where you land in a slight split, one foot out front and one in back

well I guess now she's got everyone doing their research on that - because who honestly knew about that type of event before?

@@HuckleberryHim I totally defer to your expertise and stand corrected. In my defense, I did say I was "man-splaining" and that requires that my explanation was wrong...

@@prieten49 Of course, those are the hallowed rules of the mansplanation, lol

@prieten49 @HuckeberryHim thank you for enlightening me as well as for this LOL-inducing thread 😂 A "mansplaination" feels like the perfect way to be educated on such a thing as a "clean and jerk."

I hope you're right! And yes, the person who sent it to me isn't vegan or vegetarian, so it's definitely reaching the masses! And yeah...I revisited the "It's Alive" episode when making this video and got fired up all over again 😡

Yikes!! You hate to see them courting the kids, but it happens all the time 🤦🏻‍♀️ And that's awesome that you met all of them; Dotsie and Meagan are total badasses and really embody what they preach.

Thank you!!

Well this is great news!! 👏🏻👏🏻

@@TotallyForkable the irony is that people (most of my students for instance M) don’t even know that ALPRO is a Vegan brand!!

Wow, it must be really good!! And yes, I am familiar with the name but can't recall if I've tried the products before. I think I've heard really good things about the yogurt!

@@TotallyForkable their macchiato milk is to die for. Soy & coconut yogurt too. Now they’re focusing on health / sports aspect with protein etc

They all sound amazing!

Me: the dairy industry is constantly pushing dairy propaganda on unsuspecting consumers! Dairy industry: Totally Forkable is constantly pushing figure skating propaganda on her unsuspecting subscribers! You've got my number, Tamara! 😂⛸️ I fear I'm only going to become worse as we near the Milan Olympics. And yes, I believe that is the correct usage of "plant-based diet" too, and "vegan-by-mouth" is a great way to describe it. We continue to be divided on what it means, which often leads to chaos and confusion. As for the Dairy Checkoff, I will certainly be watching the Olympic commercials with a close eye 🧐

I had to look up what wushu is 😅That's awesome; good for you! 💪🏻

Awesome!!

everyone else is too🤣

Baby diet

at least we got to be a part of the joyful summer experience together. It's like we're there!

Just looked it up; I had never seen her before but I like that comparison! I used to get compared to Elliot Page back in the day, and that actor kind of reminds me of a young Elliot!

@@TotallyForkable Oh you're right!! Now I know why her face seemed so familiar to me :0 you're definitely as cool-looking as both

Thank you!! 😊

Thank you so much; I am too!

Agreed!

Wow, I guess we pay a transport fee! 😂 And yes we made quite a few "watermelon slushies"; my favorite were with frozen watermelon, lime, and ginger! 🥤
