Big Max - Full Documentary - Going Vegan

[@lavie4485]

I love how at the end he can't deny the truth that he simply felt worse when he went back to eating meat. This was a real depiction that change is not always easy but sometimes it's so worth it.

[@jamesfields2397]

Superb filmmaking my dude. Max did a phenominial job. Me and my wife have been vegan now for two months. It has been a struggle but documentaries like these help. With that being said, I think what we all are hoping for is an update. This guy is so lovable he's very witty and seems to light up an entire room with his fun personality. He reminds me of my some of my friends who have similar qualities of character.

[@LiveLifeLori]

Guessing he didn't stay vegan, as there would have been an update reply :(

[@annen22]

Update!!!

[@mosfet74]

Addiction is tough. I was addicted to meat, dairy and processed foods just like this guy. I weighed 407 lbs. I've been plant based for 2 years, and now i weigh 229. My doctor is loving my bloodwork every 6 months. No more diabetes, hypertension or chest pains. You just can't beat it.

[@RyanDube]

Been watching random vegan documentaries as I've been diving into this lifestyle myself and this one is by far one of my favorites.

[@SevenEllen]

Congrats! :D I've been vegan for just over a year now.

Great film! I was most impressed by Max's ability to stay strong when being ragged on by his closest friends. Going vegan usually is accompanied by changes in personal relationships with friends and family (more so when you are vegan because of ethics and not just eating a plantbased diet). Great job, fantastic watch, everyone wants a follow up! Veganism is the future

[@HecticMolments]

Yes this! And it's not just with a vegan diet. It's with any healthy diet or food change! If you are faced with your biggest temptations, many people have no idea the internal monologues and mental gymnastics you sometimes have to do to keep strong. Dieting/weight loss and getting healthy is not just diet and exercise, it's also a practice in mental and emotional strength!

7 mins in....i like the rawness of the docu. Not eating meat...leads to a shift in consciousness...not say'n you become more spiritually aware...but there is a shift..a healthy one.

[@PaperYGO]

Very well done, Max, and all associated with the project. I see a lot of myself in this documentary. Currently producing my own documentary about my vegan journey towards running a half marathon in April. This inspired me and affirms why I’m doing what I’m doing.

I went vegan 6 months ago and only my son eats it with me. I worked in the nursing home kitchen it will make you cry, if you care about these sweet adorable grandmas deterioration the oil and the fat and the meds 3 times a day , no chance at life. And our generation wont even live as long as these baby boomers .

“As traumatized children, we always dreamed that someone would come and save us. We never dreamed that it would, in fact, be ourselves as adults.” Alice Little I don't know much about younger Max and what he went through when his father abandoned him for Florida, but I am guessing that Max has a huge father hole. For Max to get over his food addiction to those unhealthy foods, he is going to need some therapy.

How is Max doing? I'm transitioning to Vegetarian and eventually Vegan..

Max! What a sweet and endearing and heart-ful man. I love Max. Where is Max now? I had to stay up past my bedtime to see what happened to Max. Did he stay Vegan? I won't spoil it for you. I want to see the follow up documentary. Pretty please with Cherries on Top?

Heard the Mama cows bawl when seperated from their babies. 8, almost 9 months ago, i stopped valuing my life over theirs. Blood work is better. Pain has lessened. RA Factors are better. Thsts my benefits. As for family and friends and the comments, i can take it.

Man, I love this guy.. I’ve been vegetarian for 3 years and I’m now doing veganuary and I stumbled across this documentary and it’s so well done. You really get the essence of Max, and the transformation he goes through from where he doesn’t care if he’s healthy or not .. to then make the decision to make a change because his body needs it. I genuinely enjoyed every minute. Would love to see how Max is doing now, hopefully he’s continued to a path to health

Thank you!

[@shartmann2008]

I hope he's doin well. I hope he finds friends who care about his health.

[@gonget]

I fully understood his disgust with the liquid dripping from the tofurkey. I had same reaction with plantbased pepperoni. Our programming is really difficult to alter. Telling myself this is plants! Not the processed raw flesh of an animal was strange for sure.

[@CaroAbebe]

I thought pepperoni are plants?

[@crankiemanx8423]

Its not just about eating a vegan diet its about not eating processed food, there is also unhealthy vegan processed food.the thing about eating plants is that no preparation is needed for most.to eat animals & animal products they have to go through a process so that you don't get sick when you eat them.eg cooking to make it palatable & also to kill worms & parasites.

[@nasgothus]

Max is so full of character, good ones. Very humble. Wonder how he is at the present moment.

[@tyedyegypsysoaps5437]

Max reminds me a lot of Jack Black which I adore lol! I would love to see a follow-up video to see if he stuck with it.

[@FeWH]

Great Vegan video. Nice and cool guy too. Is he still alive or did he fully embrace a Healthy lifestyle?

[@MemoryAmethyst]

I agree with him that tofurky is nasty. I prefer to just focus on the rest of the meal, pumpkin pie, candied yams, roasted Brussels sprouts, mashed potatoes with mushroom gravy, sweet corn and tons of sage and onion dressing. Who needs a dead bird or even a pretend chemical facsimile?

[@kavci93]

I’d love an update. I hope Max is ok. Did I hear him saying he had a cancer diagnosis? Right around the Tofurkey time.

[@kathygaskins7132]

Great documentary, very inspiring. Max reels you in with his authenticity and the producer does a great job all around. Re all the requests for updates, my first thought is Max may have been asked and declined for his own reasons. I haven't watched the entire vid at this point because I feel like I got what I needed from it approx 27 1/2 mins in. For me that is that the significance of your Why is crucial. The switch to a vegan way of eating 'cold-turkey' isn't in general the way most who stayed vegan began, at least that's not what the majority of vegan KZbinrs have stated. I haven't watched any other 'one-month' vegan or overnight or similar type vids to form consensus re successfully maintaining after. I feel personally going the gradual transition route may work best for me however I am curious to see more vids like this one. Would any have recommendations?

[@trickstur5994]

Great documentary. I'm glad Max had so many friends and people who care about him around him.

[@SheilaMiller-n6m]

lmao...they're putting something in the tofu, Im craving tofu! 😂

[@MsBrodiddlyJane]

I found it kind of funny him mentioning there not being a lot of fat vegans out there. A lot of vegans, including myself, are fat. Me and my friends are vegans for the animals, doesn’t mean we eat healthy though lol.

[@HecticMolments]

This was so great! I even said, when he was having that meat marathon that night, that he was going to feel like crap after. I was kinda but not really joking but it's so true. I hope he's stuck with it. Even if he only made his vegan eating a large part of his diet, he was sure to see huge improvements. And any change for the better, is great! I'd love to see some follow-up videos. Way to go Big Max! It doesn't matter what started you down a path to a better you, what matters is what's kept you going~

I'm halfway through and thoroughly enjoying this documentary. BUT FOLKS, VEGANISM IS NOT ABOUT FOOD, VEGANISM IS A CORE VALUE OF NON-VIOLENCE TOWARDS ANIMALS THAT I BELIEVE WE ALL SHARE. What Max is trying out is a diet of only plant-based foods. I hope he succeeds because if he does, animals, our planet and his health will benefit. Those who live on a plant-based diet are not always vegan. Just an FYI.

[@palecompass3598]

This reminds me how stupid I thought veganism was before I went vegan. I felt really bad for Max when he was choking down that Toferky, something I still haven't tried even after years of being vegan. My veggie potpie is more popular at Thanksgiving than the bird.

[@victoriahart1630]

In my 35+ years of being vegan, I've seen much ignorance about what authentic veganism is and is not. The word "vegan" was coined by members of the Vegan Society (UK) in the late 1940s and was heavily influenced by Albert Schweitzer's writings on Reverence for Life. The definition still stands today and is as follows: "Veganism is a way of living which excludes all forms of exploitation of, and cruelty to, the animal kingdom, and includes a reverence and compassion for all life. It applies to the practice of living on the products of the plant kingdom to the exclusion of flesh, fish, fowl, eggs, honey, animal milk and its derivatives, and encourages the use of alternatives for all commodities derived wholly or in part from animals. Veganism remembers man's responsibilities to the earth and its resources and seeks to bring about a healthy soil and plant kingdom and a proper use of the materials of the earth."

[@JustinRussell]

As the director of the film and an ethical vegan I appreciate you googling the definition for me. The true ignorance comes when someone cannot see that no matter what the intention of reducing or eliminating animal products from one’s life is ultimately for the animals. Let’s not narrow our minds and scrutinize anyone’s choices just because it doesn’t fit a definition. You do not sway people’s opinions or ideologies with this closed way of thinking.

[@victoriahart1630]

​​​@@JustinRussellThank you for replying to my comment. I strongly disagree with your opinion that people should have the freedom to define veganism as they wish..., and that holding integrity to the authentic definition is narrow-mindedness. People who are uncomfortable with the authentic definition of "vegan" ... and the values and principles behind veganism... are free to create their own word for whatever it is they are trying to do in their life. But it is wrong to twist or co-op an existing authentic definition that a small, dedicated group of humans in the 1940's not only created, but also risked their lives in following and widely advancing -- all for the sake of exploited, cruelly treated nonhumans. I've come to believe that people who want to change or co-op the vegan definition do so because they want to wear the badge but don't want to walk the talk. They change the definition to suit their own comfort level and have little or no regard for the comfort of those non-humans for whom the authentic definition speaks for. If they did, they'd be eager in following what the authentic definition makes clear. Authentic veganism does not discriminate against anyone. It is all-inclusive. Always has been. Always will be. There are no subcategories of veganism, as you seem to believe in. There is no "ethical vegan", no "environmental vegan", and so on. Those made up terms were created by people needing to feel comfortable rather than fully committed. Consider this: A criminal wanting to avoid the harsh penalty that matches their crime will often try changing the crime's definition in the hopes that both judge and jury lessen the charges against them. But changing a definition to suit one's comfort level shouldn't hold up in court, just as changing the authentic vegan definition to suit one's comfort level shouldn't hold up in our society. For each time that the authentic definition is changed, the victims -- the exploited and cruelty treated nonhumans -- lose. What's good and just and fair about that? Lastly, I didn't "google" the authentic vegan definition just for you. I learned about veganism from the founder of the American Vegan Society..., who had great respect for the members of The Vegan Society (UK) who first coined the term "vegan". He's no longer alive, but I'm sure he would agree with everything I've written here.

[@JustinRussell]

@@victoriahart1630 I am not changing the definition nor saying anyone can change the definition to fit their own specific criteria. Max abstained from animal products for 30 days. Was that not for the animals in the long run? By definition was he not a vegan if he did not contribute to animal suffering for 30 days or because his heart wasn't a vegan then he cannot use the word? Obviously Max was plant based and not vegan. But that term in 2013 when filming and producing was less used. Vegan as a marketing term gets more eyes. And isn't that what we all should be striving to do? Get more people to go vegan REGARDLESS of the heart being in or not in it as defined. How can that not be narrow minded if you think everyone must have it EXACTLY so as defined by day 1 of their journey. I'm just stoked for anyone that wants to better themselves, the planet and end animal suffering regardless of how they get to it. If you don't agree with that then I don't have anything left to say to you.

[@victoriahart1630]

@@JustinRussell How can people embrace veganism and stay committed to it when they don't even know what the authentic definition is? By misrepresenting what authentic veganism is -- for the sake of using the term "vegan" as a marketing tool, by your own admission -- you only further contributed to the confusion regarding what veganism is and is not. Are you sure you're not trying to hide the fact that you don't have faith that people will embrace veganism if they knew the authentic definition? It is a proven fact that when we hold others to a higher level of expectations, they tend to rise to that level. In contrast, when we show little faith in people reaching high expectations, they tend to stay at a low level, not giving much if any effort. Something for you to seriously consider in future film endeavors. 🤔
