Such a great idea, love it!

Maybe...

I greatly appreciated that too, as someone who is impoverished, living on only social security income, because I became disabled 16 years ago... I’ve been vegetarian for 30 years now though, but am unable to go vegan. I have been switching to oat milk (although I do take boxed cow’s milk from the food pantry if they offer it and don’t have a vegan milk). I mostly can’t make the full switch because I am very underweight as it is due to the fact I can’t cook much in the kitchen. I am mostly bed-ridden with chronic pain and I can’t stand up or sit upright for very long due to a disastrous failed back surgery back in 2004. I need the extra calories and protein I get from quick meals with eggs and cheese in them, as I’m only eating maybe one meal a day, and snack a bit otherwise. Being a vegan - doing it right to where one is getting all the nutrients they need, takes extra prep/cooking time in the kitchen. There are foods I wish I could afford to eat more of (like I’d LOVE to have avocados every day, or my favorite vegetarian/vegan Amy’s frozen meals line), but I just can’t afford it on my SSC income. And a lot of vegan options/substitutes are indeed considerably more expensive. I almost had a heart attack when I bought some Beyond beef one time, just to try it, as a treat. My boyfriend at the time paid for it, because he wanted to try it too, but the stuff was $10.00 per package of “ground beef!” We needed two of them for the meatloaf recipe we were cooking, so that was $20 _JUST_ for the “beef,” before even buying the rest of our ingredients. That’s a bloody joke! I’d never do it again (plus, I didn’t even like it at all - I had to douse it in A1 sauce to cover the taste). I got a package of mushrooms from the pantry last Friday, and I’d love to make some veggie burgers with it, however I don’t have a food processor for starters, which I believe the recipes require, but also it looks like the prep/cooking time looks long in general, and it would kill my back standing that long (and I am single now too, so no help from a boyfriend). Long story short: some people might want to become vegan, but their life circumstances simply won’t allow it.

[@pumarealtor]

you read my mind. there's a vegan on these vegan channels that continuously attacked every non-vegans, and even attacked me for being compassionate towards non-vegans. vegan or not, we need to be kind to each other and not push so hard when others are not ready for the change. everyone has different timeline to make the necessary changes. as vegans, we are kind, caring, respectful, and compassionate people. we also need to act accordingly as well if we want others to hear us.

In particular, ruminant animals, such as cattle, are especially susceptible to the problems that arise from a poor or imbalanced diet. As a result, many cattle farmers rely on the use of cattle supplements to ensure their herds stay healthy and productive. Like all good feed products, cattle supplements offer exceptional benefits to both farmers and cattle feed manufacturers. It’s generally accepted that cattle supplements are an essential aspect of maintaining a healthy herd of cattle. Health plays a major role in the overall value of cattle.

These diets are appropriate for all stages of the life cycle, including pregnancy, lactation, infancy, childhood, adolescence, older adulthood, and for athletes. Plant-based diets are more environmentally sustainable than diets rich in animal products because they use fewer natural resources and are associated with much less environmental damage. Vegetarians and vegans are at reduced risk of certain health conditions, including ischemic heart disease, type 2 diabetes, hypertension, certain types of cancer, and obesity. Low intake of saturated fat and high intakes of vegetables, fruits, whole grains, legumes, soy products, nuts, and seeds (all rich in fiber and phytochemicals) are characteristics of vegetarian and vegan diets that produce lower total and low-density lipoprotein cholesterol levels and better serum glucose control.” I’ll leave you with these articles so you can further your knowledge on veganism

Man.. i have to comment this.... THIS Joey.. is (in my opinion) THE BEST WAY OF ACTIVISM.. people excuses for health, culture, ancestors, etc.. is just for the pleasure of eating flesh.. if we show them that we don't just eat "grass" and how easy is to go vegan in 2020.. they could really change.. AND the screen right there showing slaughter footage support their decisions after tasting such a delicious burger 😊✌🏼. Lots of love man.. Vegan is the future. ❤️

This Is Great! Chef Joey 👨‍🍳🌱 Look Forward To Seeing More Of This!! Oh god the plastic police have to turn up! It's not illegal at all joey!! PSCO's love the power!

[@wanderingbox7971]

plus they say nothing about the poster of Borat nearby in his yellow mankini 🤦‍♂️😂🤣

[@marshyscotty6346]

This is the kind of activism that I think will change the world. By giving people food for free, you break down the barriers and their defence mechanisms that stand in the way of breaking down their cognitive dissonance Well done Joey 👍 Proud to be VEGAN ❤️

I much prefer this kind of video, Joey. Giving people a taste of what they're missing out on for free instead of purely relying on them to feel guilty and not know about the alternatives is a great way to bring people in. Keep this kind of thing up!

@spud spud was that supposed to make sense?

[@primitiveprimate5529]

@spud spud I’m just trying to see the connection. Looks like a vegan hurt you in some way and now you’re stereotyping all vegans. I understand your claim but it has no grounding. I just don’t understand how people can write stuff like this and feel proud of it. It’s a pretty low bar you are setting 😬

[@Vnp99]

@@primitiveprimate5529 spud spud is right... Dont u get it? 23 years an asshole. Cuz 23 yrs he hasnt been unnecessarily been killing animals for selfish wants. He hasnt been contributing to world hunger, environment destruction and hes been against animals cruelty. What an asshole right? 😖 Infact those who do the opposite are Saints 😌

You should do more of this Joey!! The method of giving people a taste and showing them the truth whilst not fully confronting them like you do in other videos seemed to really open their minds more!

[@om-boi]

I like that you show a variety of methods for activism so that people who will potentially become activists can get ideas on what will work for them.

[@prestonk827]

I like this one of his videos much more. Less confrontational and more about the message and showing people an alternative. Leading them to come to the conclusion themselves. Great work!

Not appropriate? Oh so sorry community officer, did you not realise this was how your body burger was made?! It's also perfectly legal! She should see her own bias

[@ahhmm5381]

teebz Not quite right, more like "Oh sorry officer, did you not know how the food that we have been eating for 2.5 million years was made? This is perfectly legal, as the human race literally wouldn't be here without it!!" Oh wait......

[@teebz5739]

@@ahhmm5381 Using time is probably the worst justification ever for something in 2020 that is so unnecessary. Also even 1000 years ago, animals were not murdered in the mass quantities they are today and we are not in a live or die situation to need to kill an animal for food. You can eat something else? Yes, you are correct, it is legal, so why is it hidden? Why is LEGAL and standard practice not shown and why do most people not know what happens? Does slaughter footage make you hungry? I don't think it does. Unless you want to be Billy Bigballs and say it does make you hungry whilst you pay for a neatly packaged bit of flesh, with bones and tendons removed for you. Such a carnivore you are!

[@ahhmm5381]

@@teebz5739 There are at least 20 quintillion animals on the planet. The animals we kill on farms are are tiny minority, and nature kill far more than we ever could. Also, my point is the only reason our brains grew and we can talk about this, is we ate animals. Current industries simply perfected this. Would you prefer if our hominid ancestors never ate meat, only consumed plants, and we never evolved?
