Hey y'all, hey! I never thought this video would get as many views as it did. A lot of assumptions have been made, which is fine. However, I encourage you to take this short video as it is, "I ate raw vegan for 2 weeks." Nothing less, nothing more. As far as recipes, I just went on Pinterest and searched "raw vegan." There are plenty of great vegan content creators on the KZbin platform that can give you more insight as well. Thanks for watching! ✌🏾

Where a man said if you never want a stroke again, you will do this! He said to eat only plants? I thought at first this guy's crazy because I never heard of someone eating just plants? Then that night I went to bed and had a dream about my escape from my damaged physical life and it really affected me so much that I researched more and more about nutrition, my body, my lineage and my connection to life! And now here I am! Telling people that plants are the key to changing their world of nutrition and health! Have a beautiful day purity and plants! 🙏🏽💪🏽🙌🏽

@@TammyTravelsTheWorld there is no other side I think, because humans are not monkeys and we are not designed to eat fruit alone. The detox is perplexing as if you have been vegan and think you have too much toxins then where are these toxins come from? Human's ate meat for 2 millions years, only 10,000 years ago we started eating plants of any kind. Don't get me wrong I was a Vegan for 8 years and was a believer until my health just got worse and worse. Does that sound familiar? I eat meat only now and I have never felt better.
