Going Vegan - The Bowl-of-Food Paradigm or Vegan Food Sucks

[@farting_bob]

You know, one of the things I love most about the internet are the cosy little corners of it that you find. Twitter, Instagram and Facebook all fail to capture that feeling for me, but there is something deeply comforting about returning to the small channels on KZbin that you watched years ago, and finding they are still there, still producing videos. I remember finding your channel years ago posting tutorials for different ways to tie ties, and I just enjoyed the content. Life goes on, and 6 years later it feels like almost nothing is the same - it's nice to find the channel is still going and listening to you talk is just as enjoyable as it was then

I have eaten a lot of vegan food, but i do not feel full i do not feel like i get the energy i need to work. I do a lot of hard labour as a carpenter. And a lot of combat sports as long as there isnt a Corona pandemic going on. For me i feel a big difference in energy levels if i ate a salad with beans as only protein source or if i just simply put an egg in the salad aswell. If i have to work a whole day i need a lot of energy. I really like eating salad wraps, but when i do i lay on Heavy loads of my favourite dressing, creme fraiche mixed with pesto and usually feta cheese or fried haloumi. So no i am not vegan not vegetarian but i really like vegetables. On weekends when im not working i can eat vegetarian food and really enjoy it without feeling hungry and angry because im not full. :)

I would really encourage you to watch Game Changers on Netflix. It is a vegan documentary with a very strong focus on high performance athletes. The athletes in the documentary cite remarkable energy and recovery, not to mention highlight the negative and energy-sapping effects of animal products.

[@tysutythegnome]

oh and we were watching the life hack reviews too ahahahha very good content! would love to see more like it in the future!

[@HenryRSeymour]

A lot of this also applies to vegetarianism, which I know you would consider a half measure.

[@AlexKrasnyPrime]

Absolutely, thanks for watching!

[@HenryRSeymour]

@@AlexKrasnyPrime While it is not going as far, convincing people to become vegetarians can be easier and still has a large personal health and environmental impact.

[@AlexKrasnyPrime]

@@HenryRSeymour I will leave that to others. My advocacy can only be for abolishing all animal exploitation. Dairy cows and laying hens need voices too.

[@HenryRSeymour]

@Jake-Nicholas Eames That's definitely fair, but you can go vegetarian without doing that.

please continue the NES AtoZ series... thx 🙏🏻

[@AlexKrasnyPrime]

Don't worry I am! I have been editing the next episode for 2 months!

[@AlexKrasnyPrime]

Hey lots of new NES AtoZ episodes up lately!

[@pythonx1358]

Alex! Hope you and your family are well. Good to see ya

[@AlexKrasnyPrime]

Thank you! We are well.

[@HOXiFiRE]

How ironic I just recently found your channel again and I went vegan a few weeks ago.

[@AlexKrasnyPrime]

Good for you!

[@DarkPock]

What i don't like about some vegan food it's the compulsion to imitate meat and meat based products. Not good as veggies and not good as meat.

[@AlexKrasnyPrime]

That's fine not to like it. You don't need to eat any of that. However not everyone is ready to go from burgers to roasted cauliflower. A vegan burger can really go a long way to bridging the gap. Also, arguably many vegan "meat" products like chicken nuggets, burgers and hotdogs can taste nearly the same as meat except still provide much better nutrition and less harmful effects.

[@DarkPock]

@@AlexKrasnyPrime If I don't like them, what is the chance that I would promote them, or that the people I know would like them? However I think a better way would be to promote the awesome vegan foods there are. But people are always afraid of something new, so I don't know, perhaps no.

[@AlexKrasnyPrime]

@@DarkPock I encourage everyone to try to avoid eating meat in whatever way feels best for them. if that is swapping "fake meat" in for real meat perfect! If that eating more vegetables and grains that is totally awesome too.

[@MooSaidChicken]

More rants!

[@Lightforspirit]

To think I was listening to you rant all those years ago...

[@AlexKrasnyPrime]

And now?

[@Lightforspirit]

@@AlexKrasnyPrime Just interesting to watch your progression. It sure has been a long time since your old days.

[@AlexKrasnyPrime]

Almost 10 years I think since I started? I have changed jobs twice, got married, had a kid, bought a house.

[@Gillysaurxx]

Id have more success as a vegetarian than i would as a vegan.

[@AlexKrasnyPrime]

How do you define success?

[@Gillysaurxx]

Alex Krasny i feel i would have a better chance to stick with it long term vs veganism.

[@AlexKrasnyPrime]

veganism is cheaper than eating meat

[@AlexKrasnyPrime]

Rice, Potatoes, Oatmeal, Pasta are some of the most affordable foods by calorie you can buy (and most people buy and eat all the time!) If you are looks SPECIFICALLY at meat substitutes I agree they are a bit expensive. But you don't need to buy those to thrive.
