NEW VIDEO!!! I ONLY ATE VEGAN FOOD FROM 7 ELEVEN IN JAPAN FOR 24 HOURS! kzbin.info/www/bejne/oZ3Qmoefp6mieLs

[@JMarieCAlove]

My dad went Vegan for health reasons, he got a lot of good advice from his doctor about becoming Vegan and he did a lot of research, he says he feels so much better and he’s 78 years old! 😁

[@KB3TLR]

The reason the tax isnt added already in USA is because the tax is different everywhere. It's all pretty close but slightly different. Plus some things don't have tax and that can also vary from state to state. In my state there is no tax on clothing but in other states they do tax that

"Just" a little FYI. The JUST Water you had with dinner on your day of vegetarian food, is from a local natural spring-fed preserve where I live, in the Adirondacks in New York State (USA). Their bottling plant is just a few minutes' walk from my house. LOL The company was actually founded by Will Smith and his son Jaden. 😃

Pretty sure eating eggs is not considered vegetarian because they do not eat any animal products at all and last time I checked eggs are an animal product. Maybe it's just the I u.s. that does that but eating eggs defeats the purpose of becoming a vegetarian. Coming from a long line and large family of vegetarians and vegans and raw diets

On vacation it is quite a good budget! But my experience was more along the 15-20 dollar range. And that was while splurging on food! You can get one-meal dishes for 6 dollars in many japanese-cuisine-fast-food joints.

I'm honestly cringing more over the half lashes on just the outside half of her eyes with no other mascara on the rest. It's achieving some kind of "reverse uncanny valley" quality. She looks so pretty without false lashes, I wish she's just take them off. Or at the very least wear a full lash band. Half lashes are meant for dark haired people with semi-thick lashes to fluff the outer end. Not for people with light hair/lashes to wear by themselves. It just looks awkward. And I already know, make-up is whatever makes you comfortable, you're allowed to wear it how you want, blah blah blah. I know. I'm just stating my opinion. It looks weird and unnatural.

@@Terri_MacKay I mean tofu is already cooked, you have to cook soymilk to get it to coagulate into curbs also that's silken, and you you shouldn't be cooking it beyond gentle heating in soup, you'd ruin what is otherwise a soft custard like texture. Even harder tofu deserves a good hot frying or grilling if you're going to cook it. Honestly it's the reason I stay far far away from tofu when I'm eating in any western style places, they usually have no clue how to make good tofu, it's always too dry and has the vague texture of an old abused dish sponge soaked in some kind of weird sauce.
