My vegan beef with Russell Brand?

[@ed.winters]

I.D.E.A. Studios launch collection is available now to order to your home! 🚀 weareideastudios.com - thank you so much for your support! In today's video I respond to Russell Brand's recent video about processed plant-based alternatives. However, the aspect of the plant-based alternatives conversation I'm most interested in, is how these products are being targeted by the meat industry in an attempt to discredit veganism.

[@HannahIrene719]

Expecting people to convert from a standard American diet to a strictly whole foods, plant based diet is insane. The vast majority of people won't be able to do it. Making veganism accessible for the average person is the goal. Processed vegan foods and mock meats help so many people transition. Once people become more comfortable with eating only plants, they'll usually naturally evolve and transform their diets to include less processed mock meats, and more whole foods. But if they don't, who cares? The goal was to stop eating animals.

[@Empathy4Animals411]

Exactly, they want something as close as possible to what they've become used to eating, which is the processed meat-tasting stuff.

If you crave something maybe it is simply because your body needs it and not because you are an evil? How toxic is veganism ....

[@Empathy4Animals411]

@@alexwentoutside6843 No one said anything about "craving" the rotting corpse of a tortured sentient being. You're tricked into believing it's "food." It's the chemicals in it that make you addicted.

I've been a whole-food vegan for about a year now and I really don't miss meat at all. It smells gross to me now. But I know that it's a lot easier to cook for my meat-eating family using plant based meat substitutes, whenever they have dinner at my place. I agree that delicious meat substitutes lessen the need for meat. It's still about the animals for me, not so much about my health. Even though I feel much healthier now than I ever did before I went vegan. Thanks for the vid!

Be careful consuming soy, the elites push soy onto vegans plates for many reasons, 80% of soy is gmo, gives vegans colon cancer every year, and actually takes years off your lifespan to break down digestive wise. Try finding an easy black bean burger recipe that helped me out a lot! I don’t trust any of the brands Bill gates owns/supports/funds AT ALL

Congrats! After a yr you can smell BO from meat-eaters too. I" ve been vegan since 2001, as soon as I could buy my own food lol. I have stopped mid-way in 2012 for a yr with a BF who was only vegetarian. I felt a huge difference in my health and skin. I don't think I will ever be a nonvegan again at this point. I think fake meats are not bad for transitioning but for me, I always disliked the smell and taste so stick to WFPB homemade foods. It's much easier to be vegan today, when I started few knew what it was.

OMG mate, thank you for finally saying it! Because many vegans are stating that process vegan meats are just as bad as real meats. And I know they are not! When I eat them, I definitely do not feel they way I used to when I ate meat. And even though they are processed, many of them have really good stuff. But I wish these companies would make them more healthier. I guess the problem is they have to raise the price of the food.

[@Hi-Five-Ghost]

The following is from the research page Ed cited: Notice the the reference provided by Ed, was funded by the same company promoting their own product as healthier than grass fed beef. Sell Out Ed knows sheep won’t research themselves Supported by a research gift from Beyond Meat Inc. (to CDG), National Heart, Lung, and Blood Institute at the NIH grant T32HL007034 (to CDG), and Stanford Clinical and Translational Science Award to Spectrum NIH UL1 TR001085 (to CDG). Funding for this study was provided by Beyond Meat.

[@Hi-Five-Ghost]

@@samuelmiensinompe4902 if that were true Japan wouldn’t be ranked #1 for overall health, longevity, lowest obesity. Every year. They eat almost more fish than any other Asian nation.

Meanwhile Israel the most vegan nation on earth sometimes ranks in the 20s and 30s and sometimes if they’re lucky they break the bottom 10. So I highly doubt Doctors and Dietician will ever tell you to get off the meat, at the most they’ll say eat LEAN meats and plenty of vegetables.

For that reason I feel it should have been a discussion between them both, or a video simply addressing the subject, rather than the title & thumbnail used, directing it as a beef between Ed & Russell. Ed addresses the fact that the video isn't an attack on Russell as a response video, but the title/thumbnail suggests it is, and consequently might drum up hate & negativity where its not necessary. Having said all this, love both Ed & Russell for the positive change they are making in the world. United we make real change

Not being confrontational is one thing, but even just being honest in the politest way, i.e anything short of what Russell's said, seems to cause an issue.

If you’re going to change your diet and try to become vegan because you want a “healthier” diet and be fit, then you’re most likely going to give up sooner or later and eventually fail. Now, if you’re wanting to give veganism a try because you actually DO love animals and are against all the cruelty and because of ethics, then I guarantee you you’ll most likely, if not will, stay and become vegan.

I actually became vegan last year after enjoying Russell's content, looking back at Russell's old stuff, finding the early Simon Amstell episode about the documentary Carnage: Swallowing the past, watched that and became vegan. During the last year I've witnessed Russell lose the plot and go from leftist and spiritual to a right wing grifter who enables anyone to talk over him and use his platform to shove talking points that only slow down progress. Really disappointing honestly. He's cultivated a new kind of audience and older fans have stopped watching so the feedback he'll be getting will be encouraging the awful new direction of his content.

Hey ed i would like to know where to money goes which you earn with this new brand. Greets Rafael

IMO the clothes designs are a bit tame and minimalist, if you'd consider a new line in the future I'd personally like to see some more in your face graphics, and on more fitted garmets like athletic cut zip hoodies and work out tanks

[@RollyPollyProduction]

Ed can you talk about why plant based companies do not care to benefit the environment with their packaging ? I feel guilty that a main reason I went vegan was environmental but I cannot purchase many plant based products without unnecessary waste being produced

@Paul Semmens You are suggesting I am brainwashed while you think it absolutely has to be this way simply because it has been this way. As if it were without alternative. Those two oldest people also didn't live on green energy so that must be a fluke as well. Sure, animal byproducts are efficient in those regards but that shouldn't mean we ought not to look for better ways. And those ways are there, they might just be detours or uncomfortable - for you.

I've been vegan for over 15 years now and to be honest I can't remember a meal I have which doesn't have anything processed. I never went vegan because I didn't like the taste or my health! When I first went vegan you couldn't even get soya milk in the supermarket it was tough as I never liked fruits and vegetables but my moral compass was far more important to me so I made do, now I don't have to make do and I'm loving I can have the taste and texture of the type of foods I love.

Ed, quick point: nutritional yeast might be a better argument for a healthy processed food. Straight raw yeast is nasty to digest. Nooch is great. Fortified nooch is even better.

I love this company appeal!! I’m setting up my nutrition practice after finishing my internship and I am explicitly presenting myself as vegan nutritionist, deciding not going for plant based per de because I’m vegan for animals and that changed my health for better. I want to advocate for healthy nutrition but in a way that puts animals first and so people can be supported to do well while doing their part to chose compassion!

I'm always thinking that poor vegans are completely brainwashed to the point that they destroy their bodies with unnatural, made made trash that either has no nutrition, or inaccessible nutrition for humans. The natural, ideal human diet is animal organs, animal flesh, blood, eggs, raw milk and some fruit. The Earth is a brutal relentless place, and humans are just a result of it. Nothing is more natural than Man eating meat
