20 Years Vegan | WHAT I EAT IN A DAY!

20 Years Vegan | WHAT I EAT IN A DAY! • 20 Years Vegan | WHAT ... Soon my "What I Eat In A Day" videos will included what I'm eating from my garden and home fruit tree orchard. But, I will also be videoing my adventures of foraging, gathering, and eating off the land. My goal in 2019 is to eat off the land 100% including dehydrating, canning, pickling, freeze drying, smoking, and fermenting my food and never buying packaging again. Join me by Subscribing...Here is what I ate today! #vegan #whatieat #whatieatinaday #veganfood #food #offgrid #healthy
Nicole and I are attempting to live off the grid in British Columbia, Canada. We have 8 acres of forest property sandwiched in between the Pacific Ocean, a fresh water lake, and a stream which flows year round from the lake into the ocean. For over nearly 10 years I grew a fruit tree, permaculture, garden, and native edible plant, herb, and raised bed garden food forest. You can still watch all the garden videos of my old desert garden in Arizona. I was born in British Columbia and I have returned to the Rain Forests of British Columbia to a "Raw Land" property to grow my 1st FULL EDIBLE FOOD FOREST Off Grid on a wilderness property. This climate is temperate and coastal, rarely seeing snow in the winter and highs in the 80's (30 Celsius) in the summer. It is a rare microclimate that spans from gardening zone 7-9. The property is 8 acres and completely overgrown, mostly with conifer trees. This area is a verifiable rain forest and situated in the Southwestern-most tip of the Canadian "Great Bear Rain Forest". NicHolistic ( / holisticnicole ) and I will be learning about edible seaweeds, edible native plants, edible mushrooms, and many other edible native trees/plants as we attempt to Build a Yurt, Draw Our Energy Clean, Live Off the Grid, and Grow an Epic Superfoods Garden and Fruit Tree Orchard. We will also have a lot of changes coming so get ready. More videos and BTS Clips at my VLOG channel / adventureswjakenicole

no vegan? why? sentient being is still sentient being. phrasing it differently doesn't change the fact that you will be taking someone life away.

[@carinaekstrom1]

Circle of Life = Live and let live. That is what it means to me, especially as a species that thrives on plants. Sentient beings can never be a "resource" unless I'm starving to death and have absolutely no other option. Looking at living beings as "resources" is going down a slippery slope that can never end well, and that is the reason we have massive problems with the environment and ethics today. I believe you must have plenty of other options and "having an interest" cannot be considered a valid reason to kill, in my humble opinion.

Hope you stay vegan. It's more than just about our novel endeavors (not having to buy food) - it's about someone else's life. Living off the land while buying a few items if needed is a small compromise to robbing another when we don't need to. Your land looks amazing, enjoy!

A 37 year old with a better body than most 20 year olds. I believe being vegan and your willingness to do hard work has so much to do with that . Plus you are not aging like a normal 37 year old with all those animal free nutrients. You'd give men years younger a run for their money in the athletic dept. If it ain't broke, please don't fix it . I like to use Jake as inspiration for younger men in my family. Just keep up with your proteins with all your hard work. One protein dry good that is needs no refrigeration is dried peanut butter powder. Sprinkle some over some over shredded apples and it tastes delicious. Keep following your dreams and do your own thing! Not to mention the good karma you get from not killing animals. Animals can think, feel and react, they are sentient beings.

[@Hi-Five-Ghost]

Bullshit, plenty of finely aged omnivores. Stop drinking your own koolaid. Genetics is 80% of aging well. The rest comes from diet and exercise. Japan and Korea rank in the top 3 nations year after year for health/ longevity/ low obesity. They eat a hearty omnivore diet. Emphasis on fish and vegetables. They’re known for aging like fine wine. Grow up.

Jake, I live in Seattle, am a 15 year vegan and get my food from PCC, (pacific co-op). They have a chain of small grocery stores in the Seattle area. When I was a kid I had a lot of anitbiotics for some chest colds, pneumonia at 2 years old, but I was an athlete, did a lot of martial arts and somehow beefed up my immune system enough to it being pretty strong for many many and haven't had a cold in over 10 years. The antibiotics however did a number on my gut flora when I was young and it gave me a low tolerance to antibiotics all my life. If I take a series for a tooth infection, it turns in leaky gut and food doesn't break down and I can get pretty sick. I'm saying all this cause in Wa. St. they got a law passed in 96 saying that organic pears and apples can be sprayed with 2 different kinds of antibiotics as a pesticide for the blight, a fungus, that the crops here get, and the fruits are still considered organic. I got pretty sick not knowing this. Google it and it's all there, so watch the pears and apples from Wa.St. if your sensitive to antibiotics.

[@Mfchannel1001]

I totally get about living off the land and I know that the ocean is in your area but I hope you take the things you say about being vegan seriously such as the ethics, regardless of whether you fish for your food yourself or you buy it from the store an animal is still suffering for no reason on your behalf.

I appreciate your passion but consider that this is no place for vegan concern. Simply the commodification of creatures should be objected. Not ones who are seeking closeness to nature. Yes, with proper intention it is possible to not utilize animals in such a lifestyle yet this comes with super awareness and very thorough preparations. It's not malicious if one must supplement with natural things in nature and in fact they could still be considered vegan by its very definition even if they are eating animals in that situation. "Veganism is a way of living which seeks to exclude, as far as is possible and practicable, all forms of exploitation of, and cruelty to, animals for food, clothing or any other purpose."

I’ve found the key to staying vegan in B.C. is to supplement iodine (lugol’s iodine) and vitamin D throughout winter and fall (24,000 UI per day) and b12. And selenium (garlic and Brazil nuts). Otherwise the cravings for fish or other supplements kick in (eggs) etc. for b12, D or cholesterol. Hope life treats you well in B.C. your in good land! Enjoy living off the land

Good tip about the B-12. I learned about nutritional yeast flakes from you. I’m vegetarian and love learning tips from you. Keep posting about your adventures. 👍🏼

[@erelpc]

B12 isn't naturally occurring in nutritional yeast, that's a common misconception. They are often fortified with B12. There are still ways of getting B12 from its source even in a modern, sanitised world, e.g. seaweed, spirulina, chlorella, but make sure it's a major and regular part of your diet to be sure you're getting adequate B12.

[@kimle190]

Please reconsider as you are a very strong voice for the animals... although i can at least respect your decisions to not support industry and eat for need, plus zero waste while living off the land. We all need to do the best we can.

The ingredients are all natural: lemongrass oil is the active ingredient. The other ingredients are: water, vanilla, castor oil, lemon, and vitamin E. I've used this spray all last summer while on a sand volleyball team and it was great for gnats and mosquitoes. The gnats were the biggest problem for volleyball.

salt is important for health. our bodies do need some salt. not having enough can eventually, or quickly, lead to dehydration. you can get the nutrients of those other foods you mentioned from other foods you're probably eating, but if you are not eating salt, hopefully the foods you are eating have salt in them.

Nerdy Trivia: As a former vegetarian, one day I learned that vitamin B12 only comes from animal sources. I included honey as from an animal. Then I realized that people are designed to need B12. So I decided I was wrong for thinking I knew better than nature, and I started eating unfertilized eggs. Which chickens lay, regardless. They've always laid some unfertilized eggs via their natures. But farmers have caused over the many years, for chicken behavior to lay more eggs. What's a chicken to do? So anyway, I started eating organic unfertilized eggs. Then there was the revelation that everything in the sea eats something else, usually another creature. Deep thoughts. Anyway I try to be in harmony with nature.

[@carinaekstrom1]

The healthiest source of B12 is a supplement.

[@mackenziefreyanixon4302]

I know Jake had rescue chickens when he lived in Az and I remember him talking about whether eating their eggs or keeping bees and eating their honey was vegan and why he chose not to. Since telling us about your dreams of off grid sustainability I have wondered if this was a topic that would be revisited. I love Geoff Lawton's KZbin channel and message and feel like he has it down as far as sustainable food forests go. You should check him out. I think that what you are choosing to do by living off the land and off grid and eating some animal products has way more impact on the world than living in a city and being vegan. I also believe neither one is the wrong or right way to live. I am super exited to see how your guys journey continues. I am super exited to see how the Yurt is coming along!

[@SunshineFarm]

I love that you're willing to adapt and change your goals based on where life takes you. It will be amazing to watch your food forest take shape. Have you heard of Back to Reality at all? They apply permaculture techniques to gardening and seem to be plant-based or vegan from what I can tell. I love their approach with growing their own food and living off the land. They're also in Canada, but the other side I believe.

[@scottsimmons9313]

Do you have a cookbook? If not can you suggest a good cookbook?

[@jordanpeters6526]

All I can do is pay attention to the calm water in the beginning so beautiful

[@strawberries1411]

Thanks Jake for being honest & open about your plans..if you plan to live from the land only without the stores one have to keep all options open...you never know how future evolves and makes you totally dependent for real....I have no doubt you being so smart en respectful to all..you will harvest just what is needed..sustainably.. nature is like that too....you might well be their source of food in case of emergency.. those having endured real starvation will tell you..if hunger strikes you might rethink a lot of things in life...succes

[@brycemachleit696]

hey Jake i know your in BC, Canada. So if you don't mind me asking, what health food stores do y'all go to or is it just a general food store that y'all go to? I greatly appreciate it, y'all are hero's in my book keep up the amazing work. much love ,and peace namaste.

[@funhousefibers]

Thanks for sharing! I agree that you appear to be a great cook, Jake👍 Now that I’ve seen you guys making your tea, I am very curious about the Reishi mushrooms that you use - is that going into your little tea grinder or??? Not sure where to get whole ones, but am googling now!

[@suburbanhomestead]

Jake, I suggest you already transition your channel name to something else like "Jake Mace Offgrid etc", if your mind is made on not promoting a vegan lifestyle by following it strictly anymore. You can still be mainly plant-based for your health if you believe in that. Your ethics may have moved from diminishing sentient suffering to self-sufficiency and local food. From what I sense from you, you still encourage people in industrialized lives to choose a vegan lifestyle correct? (there must have been a reason why you initially titled you channel as such) If so, taking away the focus and pressure of branding your content under VeganAthlete would be more considerate. I myself have followed a vegan whole foods plant based diet for the past 5 years, but I don't market my lifestyle as such because I understand "Vegan" goes beyond diet. I completely understand that a 100% vegan offgrid diet in a cold place like Canada would be very very challenging. (That would make it so much of a feat if you could pull it off, and so much more intriguing to watch, because offgrid hunters are a dime a dozen) but I get that having fields of grain/ legumes to produce enough calories would be almost impossible in such a heavily forested shaded and cold place. In any case, remember, you are a public persona now, and your actions and choices don't affect only you and who/what is immediately around you.

[@kgur]

Very good comment Siloe! I guessed that you're a vegan at first sight from your videos. Are you still vegan ?

[@suburbanhomestead]

Hi kgur. I eat a vegan diet, or more precisely a strict vegetarian diet without animal products. But I understand and respect the term vegan to mean a system of ethics centered on avoiding animal suffering. I became ovo-lacto vegetarian in 2007 because of the environmental impact of factory farmed animals. I progressed to a vegan diet in 2014-15 as I learned more about the health benefits (and felt better doing so). But being "vegan" goes beyond diet. I sometimes use animal byproducts like blood and bone meal or manure as fertilizers, not because they are irreplaceable (As I've been experimenting moving towards plant based fertility), but because they are a waste product resource that needs to be used to diminish concentrated pollution. They are not primary products to industry, so I use them as an environmentalist. I also believe it is better for everyone to drastically reduce animal product consumption even if they don't become "vegan." But Jake is not "everyone" or "anyone" he is a public person who branded himself through media as Vegan. He becomes a strong counterpoint to industrial farming culture, simply by showing one can thrive with an "animal free diet." In my opinion, if he choses to stay 100% vegan in diet, he will cause a greater good to environment and lives of others than if he choses to have a more local footprint by being a 100% localvore with sustainable animal products. Simply because industry is a fact of life for 99% of humans, and the stronger take home message will be: "oh well let's get some meat from the supermarket." This is all contingent with how he sees veganism ultimately, because if his initial rationale of no harm to animals is not what he holds as primary importance now, or if there are pragmatic unknown reasons that make, or have made a vegan diet for him something unsustainable beyond the local food aspect, then he has the freedom to choose a different path.

[@kgur]

@@suburbanhomestead Thank you for the detailed answer. It's great to see that we share same aspect on this topic. I hope that jake take into consideration of your advices. With peace&love..

[@sonja4164]

Great comment 👍

[@stacey2558]

All great stuff. Thanks for sharing. Regardless of what y’all decide to eat as you live off grid. You’ve got my support and i will continue watching. Much love guys. It’s time we become a culture that is judgement free.

I am sad that you may not be vegan anymore. This was one of my favorite channels. Have you ever tried paw paw fruit?

[@lenskimono2954]

I`m sad that you cant watch someones channel who eats differently than you

[@plodojed]

LensKimono Veganism is not a diet.

[@The-Rain-Ninja]

11-year vegan here. I will never go back. 41 and feeling amazing. Best health I have ever had. Animals matter so that will always be the driving factor.

[@thenley32]

Jake, it would be really cool to see a bird's eye view of the property... also would like to see a "garden plan" for what and where you will develop into the future! My wife and I have really been enjoying this new step in your journey.

[@thondupandrugtsang]

When you change your diet wouldn't the title of your channel be a contradiction?

[@kermit1]

Thondup Andrugtsang he would just rename it to something else

[@MariadelPilarDiezCalderon0910]

I love your food.

[@sybocity7048]

That potato and veggie dish you cooked looks so good.

[@triumphmanful]

Hey Jake & Nicole. I wanted to taste your meal. So I went and bought most of the ingredients. It was great, but one thing bothered me. My Red Lentils turned tan after cooking them. Yours looked red after cooking. How did you keep yours red ?

[@kathrynczajkowski963]

Jake- was that coconut oil you put in the pan with the food? What were the seasonings??

[@tonyaltobello6885]

Yes

[@tonyaltobello6885]

Spices

[@MrMirofl]

great vid man

[@anjolivanderkuur9403]

will you continue to buy spices when living off your orchards? I couldnt live without my spices!!

[@redwood9741]

They wouldn't be 100 % living off the land if they did....His words..

[@184876ela]

GOT TO ADMIT IT LOOKS GOOD

[@Crina-LudmilaCristeaAuthor]

It's only because you guys make the food look so nice. We don't think we want, we don't even crave it, until we see you enjoying it so much, so of course we have to 'take a bite'. 😅😊 That's my explanation why this happens.

[@samanthab5006]

I've been eating a vegan diet for only 4 years and started primarily for health and environmental reasons. Meat grosses me out now, I'm pretty sure I was lactose intolerant, and my family is prone to high cholesterol and heart disease so eggs not the best choice anyway. With that said, from an environmental perspective, your plan to live off the land and taking the lives of animals in very natural way seems much more sustainable than some of my vegan choices. Also, some vegan foods are grown irresponsibly impacting the quality of life for the community where it is grown (avocados and bananas come to mind).

[@mike1968442]

You left Az and I moved to Tucson Az. Love it in my own food forest!

[@naiitabolsen819]

i dont judge but i cant, i started the carnivore diet and i haven’t felt like this since i was 16 its something in my dna carbs and veggies destroy me, give me brain fog and give me extreme constipation and a bloated feeling. i really respect that youre able to do this as long as you dont cheat a little fish or steak like many other vegans.

[@Me-dy8oq]

Thanks

what is the white block? i am trying to right out what you put in your supper

[@elizabethespinoza4779]

That food at the end looks yummy

[@bige8549]

Did you eat 100% of the volume of food you showed in the one day or was there some leftover?

[@seanjohnson9817]

Fig Bars are great out of fig season ;) u two are so inspiring.. !

[@jennliberty7874]

what were all the spices you used for lunch??

[@fjnagle2nd]

saw your video on using cast iron cook ware. But I'm going to suggest for your Asian "stir fry" style food using a wok. I found a really good non stick wok at WalMart for about 7$. I'm aware of all the bad press that non stick cook ware has received. But in my wok I use only bamboo utensils, so am in no danger of scratching the non stick surface. Clean up is extremely easy, just rinse an wipe. Enjoy the series and am thinking of a similar lifestyle when I retire.

[@talisantiago8521]

Hi. I’m not sure if you mentioned in other videos but WHAT DID YOU DO ABOUT YOUR DOGS??? 🐕 🐕 🐕

[@triceratopsamericana2477]

I tried eating vegetarian years back but didn't make it all the way. I'm seriously thinking of going vegetarian again but this time making homemade meals with extra firm tofu instead of trying to live off of Morningstar Farms products alone 😂. This/your video was exactly what I was looking for and I'll be checking you out more to see what other delicious wholesome healthy vegetarian meals I can make myself while keeping/putting on muscle. Thanks for your video 🙏 , and nice skills with your kitchen knife 🔪. You chop your food with power 💪 and precision🔬📐. Cheers 🍻

[@christel1841]

Jake, do you have any advice for someone that cannot eat soy and is gluten free. I struggle with getting enough variety and protein. I have just discovered yours and Nicole’s channels and have really enjoyed them. Thank you so much for the example and inspiration.

[@growingfuturesfarmgardenpa5540]

I did that to my husband all the time.it was funny sometimes

[@craignash4736]

Hey guys would you mind sayin what spices you put on your lunch today ...tryin to change my diet , so as much help I get I appreciate ... thank you so much. Craig. Pa. Guy

[@VeganAthlete]

Craig Nash Garlic powder, pink salt, pepper, paprika, coconut oil, ginger, cayenne powder, sometimes turmeric

[@Hayley-sl9lm]

Those fig bars are bomb ass, I love them

[@yvettep1093]

Just learned a few days ago to chop cruciferous greens 45 min before consumption OR before cooking. Dr Michael Gregor says that’s the amount of time needed for us to benefit from sulfurafane from these veggies.

[@denisemacdonald2062]

I really like your knives. They are beautiful 😍😍😍

[@backtotheland274]

Food always looks 🔥🔥. I saw a new study that said a bottle of wine a week is as bad as smoking 2 cigarettes.. I used to think wine was good for you? Everything is bad except what comes out of the ground unprocessed I guess. Love the videos!

[@alphasxsignal]

Good video

[@TJ-re4ng]

I understand what you're saying about food changes. I try to grow most of my food but I get eggs from friends. Have you grown in PNW/Canada before.

[@trustingblindly1413]

Been meaning to ask where on earth did you guys got the bowls at first I though they might be coconut bowls but with the way they look it makes me think there made from something else. Are they made from bamboo ?
