👋 hi

[@KomalNishad514]

​@@LouisGedoBrother I became vegan a few months ago before I was vegetarian and as I am in bodybuilding like stuff My source of protein was whey Protein now I want a good one for a brand for vegan protein powder Can you mention few

[@LouisGedo]

@KomalNishad514 Hi, I'm not too familiar with protein powders but I know there's many different plant based protein powders available in most parts of the U.S. Have you tried a search engine with the query "plant based protein powder compare"?

[@krishnans7787]

One point I'm not clear about. If we only rely on plants, where is cultiviable land available for feeding all?

[@KomalNishad514]

@@krishnans7787 well brother he explained it not once but several times currently more than 70 % crops are cultivated for feeding animals..

As a Japanese, tofu is not a small industry in Japan. And you can make tofu easily at home. Tofu is basically Japan's paneer. To Vegan Indians I recommend you to study Japanese tofu and make more and spread in India. Best wishes🙏

[@gayatricasey6618]

Hey hiii...can u send some link

[@gula_rata]

@ kzbin.info/www/bejne/eIGUe5WMop6lircsi=Ae0uDFNxlMSCGfM1 From Soybeans you can make not only regular Tofu, but also Soy Milk, Okara, Kinako, Koya-dofu, Miso paste, Soy sauce, and Natto.. So many different kinds of Vegan superfoods made from Soy Bean.. By the way, Tofu can also be made from Sesame Seeds, a Sesame Tofu called Goma-dofu, which is more elegant, delicate and very different taste from Soy Tofu.. We Japanese eat these foods everyday, and the life becomes more healthy and live longer.. Please try and promote all over India🙏

[@Aa_ki_matra]

Search mary test kitchen will it tofu in KZbin you will find different kind of tofu and you can easily make it home

[@rajarshighosh7063]

May be compared to paneer its smaller than paneer in india

[@gula_rata]

@@gayatricasey6618 If you search there's many KZbins of DIY homemade tofu.. BTW don't just think just only Tofu is all.. You can make many Vegan superfoods out of Soybeans, when you make Tofu you also get Soy Milk, Okara, Koya-dofu.. And Soybean can also make Kinako powder, Miso paste, and Nattou. Plus Tofu is not only of Soybeans, you can get Tofu made of Sesame called Goma-dofu.. More delicate and elegant taste than Soybean Tofu.. So you see even more variety and versatile than Cow's milk. Soybeans and Sesame Seeds all Vegan superfoods. Get healthy and live longer life.

I use lemon juice as coagulant. Works just fine

[@Kingsdragonz]

I use vinegar.

[@mauryagupta6024]

Tofu is always in my fridge. My favorite way to eat it is to season it with ginger, turmeric, galaghal, and fry it. Yummm!

[@gula_rata]

As a Japanese Vegan, I am happy to hear Indians can like Tofu. Tofu is the paneer of Japan. I hope you also learn to make Tofu easily at home, and promote many many Indians to eat more Tofu all over India.🙏

[@mauryagupta6024]

@gula_rata Oh, sorry about my username which makes you (people) think I'm an Indian. I'm Indonesian, and Indonesians are already very very familiar with tofu. Cheers!

That sounds yum. Must try it.

[@prajval37]

replace tofu with chicken in that recipe and its the best thing ever

[@AlokKumar-je9hd]

Great Arvind : I like the way you differentiated between adulteration and freshness. Your articulation and logic are excellent. I don't have words to express it. Keep up the good work.

[@siddharthiyer2177]

Like Paneer milk ghee are not adulterated lol 😂😂 Recently read a article where it was found out more than 50% of branded dairy products are adulterated in some or other way

[@Sidm09Gaming]

No coagulant needed. lemon works just fine

[@chiragmhatre9077]

It might be the other way around. High demand often leads to more adulteration as producers rush to meet needs. Tofu, being less in demand, might have fewer adulteration issues compared to paneer.

[@shoban1520]

Same thought crossed my mind.

[@kunalroy232]

Exactly.. our biases work vety silently to remain exactly where we were standing. We the ego never wants to change. Ego means desire

[@surajpoudel3215]

tofu is a super food. So good to taste with proper seasoning and marination, high in protein, Isoflavones that act as anti oxidant, in research it has shown to reduce breast cancer in female and prostrate cancer in male. Very underrated food.

[@Pidatha]

I don't understand why these people go up to him and start these dumb debates 😂 No one needs to justify or need his approval to eat meat. Humans, just like all other omnivores have been doing it for millennia and there's nothing wrong with it

[@pratiknitinkarnuk838]

Hi Arvind Sir. I turned into a vegetarian a year and a half before. I had the calling. After watching your videos, I stopped consuming dairy since 3 months now. I felt proud about it. But sadly (1) recently I have had a loss of appetite. (2) Also, Dairy is so much involved in Indian cuisine that it reduces so many options of food (3) also I feel like I trouble people who I visit (4) I feel very sick and without any energy at times (5) I feel less energetic in general compared to when I was a non-vegetarian. (6) I am a konkani man and my ancestors depended on seafood, meat, vegetables and rice. I am not sure but may be genetics play an important role in what we should eat. We know Mother nature/universe is unfair. Only it decides it's rules. Humans also suffer because of it. I have started to think to turn back to eating non-veg and dairy. Just wanted to hear your last words if you could change my mind. Please counter all my six points. Kindly help. Earnest request🙏

[@danielthomasmusic]

Hi. Point 1, 4, and 5 depends entirely on what you're eating on a daily basis so it's hard to comment. Try and research about daily nutritional requirements and simple recipes that can help. Trust me, there's a lot of traditional Indian food that works both nutritionally and taste wise. And also, it's essential that you take a B12 supplement. Point 2 is true, but there's plenty of Indian food that is dairy free. A lot of simple traditional Indian food does not have dairy, especially if cooked without ghee. The humble dal-chawal is easily one of the best. Add a little variety, some more veggies and beans maybe and a good source of protein like tofu and you're sorted. When it comes to point 3, remember who you are doing this for. No matter how much you think you may be inconveniencing people, remember that the animals suffer far more than that, and your commitment to veganism is a commitment to upholding their rights. Finally, about your culture as a Konkani man, you must understand that for the animals that have to suffer, our culture or lineage is irrelevant. They do not deserve to be killed or exploited. Please do not turn your back on the animals.

[@healthconceptssimplified]

1) loss of appetite can be due to various caises including indigestion, constipation, over indulgence in rich oily foods etc. Best to visit a competent doctor. 2) If you keep away from dairy, there are many options including indian sweets. Kheer, shira can be made using arrowroot powder, oats, poha etc. 3) Think of the trouble every animal goes through its life because we have to pleaee relatives? Relatives can be pleased with other things, but not by hurting animals. Once a few months pass bye, you may actually inspre others to give up animals. Animals are meant to be loved and protected. Only human species has this capability. Use it to the fullest. 4) Maybe, you are anemic or low on vit B12, iron, D3. Maybe you have parasitic infestation, maybe you are sleep deprived, maybe you're not eating healthy unprocessed whole plant based food? Again visit a health care professional who knows real nutrition. 5) instead of having 200 gms of thin dal, have 200 gms of thick dal. That way you get more dal instead of water to fill your stomach. Same with sprouts and other vegetables. 6) Back then choices were less, necessity was more. They needed to survive so they dod what they needed to survive. Today you get more than what is available in Konkan. You get global variety of food. There is no need at all for consuming animals in your diet. Bottom line: sleep atleast 9 hoirs every night at fixed times so you wake up at fixed times, like 10pm to 7 am. Eat healthy, be physically active by engaging in reasonable sports or outdoor activities. Be compassionate towards all creatures. Not only you, but your soul will be happy. All the best on taking the right decision.

[@mim5301]

It seems you may not be fully aligned with the core ethical message behind veganism. At its heart, veganism is rooted in compassion and the ethical stance of not exploiting or harming sentient beings. If this perspective isn't deeply understood or embraced, dietary decisions might lean more toward personal appetite, taste, or convenience. Take a moment to reflect: imagine yourself, or someone you deeply care about, in the place of those innocent beings. How would you feel if their life was treated as consumable or replaceable for someone else's needs? This empathy is the essence of the vegan message. It’s not just about what we eat-it's about the lives we choose to respect and protect.

[@gula_rata]

As a Japanese Vegan, I am happy to hear Indians can like Tofu. Tofu is the paneer of Japan. I hope you learn to make Tofu easily at home, tell Indian stores to make Tofu, and promote Indians to eat more Tofu all over India. Tofu can also make from Soy Milk, Soy powers, etc. About the tradition culture issue, I am a Japanese who quit to eat all fish, whales, shells or seafood animals. Even I grew up all my life with eating all those, and majority eating those. But when I become Vegan, I know the cultural tradition and my convenience is not a good enough excuse to keep hurt and kill many innocent life.🙏

[@religionofpeace782]

Everything starts from us. If there is increase in demand supply will also change. Change has to start from us

[@Tpig_arts]

ditch dairy go vegan

[@meeramahato3822]

My mom make tofu at home

[@SATDS]

If anything Industry size and adulteration are positively correlated i.e. the bigger the industry and bigger the consumption the higher the chances of adulteration to satisfy the demand and gain abnormal profits.

[@krishnans7787]

One point I'm not clear about. If we only rely on plants, where is cultiviable land available for feeding all?

[@Burner_269]

We globally get 80% of our calories from plants directly from 55% of the crop land, and would be able to make up the difference of 20% calories from another 36% of that crop land freed up from animal ag. And the ratio of protein globally is 60% plant and 40% animal based. Again this can be covered by that crop land being reclaimed for plant food,and we can add to it with processes such as cultivated protein and precision fermentation “dairy”.

[@seeusoon_]

If you all are talking about the humanity then let's think about the green house effect which cause by agriculture couldn't this 'll harm everyone (animals too) also the pestisides, chemical products to kill the insects wouldn't anyone think about them . Actually the problem is people wants to make a change but doing deforestation, spreading pollution aren't these things Harming animals? buses ,train ,car, aeroplane, ships aren't this spreading pollution and isn't this harming animals can't this leads to death even it'll leads to any disease which is worst than death they will die in agony why aren't vegan stop these things also? If they do than after that day i'll be start my vegan journey too.

As per my knowledge panner and tofu aren't vegan. They are made form milk

[@RohanBoddupally]

ig you should update your knowledge

[@Burner_269]

Paneer is made from animal milk, but Tofu is made, as Arvind describes, from soy beans and is vegan.

[@mattdonalds9996]

If you're going to be a vegan activist on KZbin at least try not to look like you're wearing a leather belt.

No vegan wears a leather anything - these days thankfully there are belts made from non-leather. Even catcus plants are being used to copy leather which is cow skin.

There is nothing right and wrong in food

[@shoban1520]

We are all entitled to our choices. But our choices end where the suffering of another begins. There are lots of things humans do to other human beings to obtain pleasure. That does not make it morally justifiable.

[@semicolon6499]

I want to eat your meat and I say " there is nothing right and wrong in food " than how do you feel ?

[@sriganesh8398]

@ vegetables ,grains from the farmer’s field are grown by killing the insects using fertiliser not just 1,2 n no of insects are getting killed to fill ur stomach is that right?

[@shoban1520]

@sriganesh8398 Totally agree. The plants grown to feed the animals who are ten times our number is grown killing insects the SAME way too. So do your Math. Who is killing MORE insects? You 98% of the 8 billion human population who consume BOTH plants and animals and feed the animals you kill with plants or the 2% of vegans who eat ONLY plants? Think. It isn't rocket science.

[@shoban1520]

@sriganesh8398 The insects we kill during plant agriculture are NOT artificially bred, confined or abused until they die. AND they have the chance to escape when they hear the harvesters coming. In animal agriculture the animals dont have that choice. They are confined until the day they are dragged into the slaughterhouses and have their throats slit. Think.
