Since I became vegan I find meat repulsive.

[@merlijnbell8747]

Same here. It just looks so weird to want to eat it. Makes it look like a really crazy grim world

[@tosca...]

I feel the same. I was never a fan. As the child of a terrible cook I had no reason to be interested in what I least looked forward to. I've never eaten a steak, a McDonald's hamburger, sausages... all of it is just awful. I was a vegetarian from 12 so I could opt out of my mother's food

[@dudleyhardial2273]

Same here. I can't look at raw meat without feeling ill. Also, the smell of raw meat is sickening, so I never go through the meat aisle at the supermarket as it is so disgusting.

[@SurTrailDoesAll]

Same ❤

[@Intentionallivingwithjody]

Yep, same. No idea how I ever ate meat, and how people still do. Makes zero sense.

[@Nicole-lx5sp]

Vegan 2 years now 🌱 I think the thing I struggle with the most is how to get people I care about to understand the benefits of eating plant-based. It hurts to see people who say they care about animals & care about their own health doing the worst thing they could do for both. I’m in Tennessee in the U.S. so the vast majority of the population here doesn’t even believe anthropogenic climate change is real so pointing out that they’re ruining life on earth for their grandchildren only registers as hippy nonsense to them. Anytime I try to discuss animal welfare I get shut down because everyone likes being ignorant about it.

[@k.h.6991]

Must be tough. Unfortunately the only thing you can do is show them you're still here, despite not eating animal products.

[@lynngreene1993]

Its maddening Nicole. And l have to listen to certain people talking about their 'ailments' which l know would be greatly (if not entirely) relieved on a PBD!!

[@123pickles]

Yes! I feel like an alien trying to share with people that plant based is healthier for them.

[@kentroskelley1389]

Dr Klaper’s responses were so genuine. He really did enjoy the interview. His years of experience has provided him with important wisdom. His response to the issue of criticisms about its just ignorance due to mis information but to be compassionate with them and be an example is the mature response. I can see why he’d like to sit down with Earthling Ed because I think that’s how Earthing Ed handles his discussions/debates.

[@ingridrajithskysong5369]

I listened to the entire interview and found it delightful. This rapid fire question and answer rounds was fun and informative. Thank you both.

thanks for your support ❤

[@Kayte...]

I always use water in my smoothies. It keeps the calories down but allows the fresh flavors of the fruit and veggies to shine.

[@Lise-ss8qw]

I also

[@peter5.056]

I used to be a heavy meat eater. So, when I first went vegan, I supplemented my diet with creatine, carnosine, and tiny doses of beta alanine. Over the course of a few months, I weaned off the supplements, and I avoided "meat withdrawal." Vegan since 2002 and loving every minute of it.

[@catsrus2890]

Awesome!

[@PLANTBASEDNEWS]

we love to hear this 👏

[@OM617a]

@@nauticalnovice9244 At presnt only 4% of mammal biomass is made up of wild animals, so this argument is totally invalid. If every human was to hunt animals for food, there would be none left in a matter of days. This is why we are bulldozing the amazon to graze cattle and grow feed.

What a lovely interview with one of my favourites, Dr. Klaper. He is gold.

[@falsificationism]

Klaper is CONSISTENTLY great. Unique takes and really insightful. I've been vegan long enough to know all the things people say, but I always listen when Klaper presents.

[@mandy5478]

Loved the rapid Q&As!! Thank you Joe and Dr. Klaper! Please keep them coming! 🙏💚🌱

I agree with Doctor Klaper, this was the best vegan theme interview that I have ever listened to. Great questions and answers!

[@kimberleebrown6853]

I loved this type of interview style. Short, sharp and to the point. 💚

[@byronmurphy1977]

11 year vegan in June, feeling amazing.

[@Vunderbread]

Something I've recently gotten into is meal planning. I make a 5 gallon soup once every 10 days or so, put them into glass containers, freeze most of it. Beans are something I've always had trouble with in the kitchen. I hate buying canned beans, and I'm so busy that I usually just end up quickly preparing a dish with whatever is immediately on hand (and it's usually pretty boring). Beans take at least an overnight soak, or 24 hours ideally. With the meal planning method though, I only have to plan ahead for one day, for one large meal. And now all of my meals are awesome, loaded with 6 varieties of beans and all the other good stuff. Highly recommended strategy

[@myhorse52]

If you don't already have one, get an instantpot. No soaking required and the beans come out just right.

[@RobertHawkins]

One of my favorite dishes is "Matt's Black Bean Sofrito's" from Jane Esselstyn's Prevent and Reverse Heart Disease Cookbook. No soaking of the beans required. Of course you cook them for about 2 hours, lol

[@tdw64]

No soaking required. Bring to a boil. Pour off water so you have cleaned beans. Replace water and just cook.

[@lightbringer2938]

The Amazon Rainforest is being cut down so the land can be used for 2 purposes: grazing for beef cattle and growing fodder for these cattle. Minimize or stop the eating of beef.

[@sassymate5684]

also , land is cleared everywhere to grow plant crops

[@11235Aodh]

@@sassymate5684 Yes to feed the 80 billion land animals and 1,42 trillion marine animals we slaughter each year to sate our stomachs. We can feed an additional 4 billion people if everyone just ate plants (though i'd rather have we re-wild and let nature have some space versus putting an additional billion people on this earth..).

[@prieten49]

That was a feel-good interview that starts off my day right. Being vegan just keeps on becoming more and more logical. I used to think there were just three reasons--the environment, health, and animal welfare--but every day a new aspect arrises. Environmental reasons include climate change, water usage, chemical and biological pollution. Health reasons include not just your personal health but also the avoidance of a new pandemic which will likely arise from industrial animal farming. Oh, I forgot reason number four: being vegan saves you money!

[@faouzielmir9894]

Many thanks to the host too for his very pertinent questions too

[@PLANTBASEDNEWS]

thank you for watching ❤

[@deepakhiranandani6488]

That was very nice. 😊. Well considered questions and pleasing answers.

[@jjradV]

Thank you so much for this great Interview ! How lucky are we to have Dr Klaper in our wonderful vegan community, he is truly a treasure, explains everything so well and his optimism for veganism is infectious !

[@rachelgoodkind6545]

Thank you for sharing. I have met many lifelong vegetarians. They have never eaten "meat" in their life, they had no addiction to it, no overstimulation from it. The only humans who CRAVE eating corpses are those humans who are indoctrinated into it, habitually addicted to carnism, since 1 year old. It has to be TAUGHT and the body got USED TO EATING IT. Eating animals is a selfish habit that I grew up participating in. Not any more after 30+ years of whole food veganism. I started out for health and quickly then did it for the animals.

[@MichaelCHO-tl6di]

I feel best when I eat nothing or very little for breakfast, I feel good eating the most later in the day, generally I eat when I'm hungry and I've tried all kinds of regimens before listen to your body, there's no substitute for that 🙏

[@lesterlasa3367]

The only thing is we need to stop advertising every time you turn the TV on some fast food restaurant or a restaurant that serves an entrée of beef or chicken makes me sick although in America more vegan restaurants open than anytime in history and meat restaurants 20% closed

[@luluandmeow]

I appreciate Dr Klaper's honesty about his meat cravings. I too have cravings about animal products as I was brought up in Italy eating lots of them, but I surround myself with delicious whole plant foods and I might overeat them sometimes (the low-cal ones) but I can't see myself ever eating animal foods again, I could not eat my animal friends.

[@PLANTBASEDNEWS]

Thanks for being so honest 👏

[@rachelgoodkind6545]

It is normal for humans who grow up eating animals to crave what they used to do

[@Summerkirsom]

So wonderful to hear this and I will pass it along wherever I can. Thank you!!

Thanks for sharing this information and supporting veganism. 😊 FYI, you might be interested to know that there are anti-vegan messages in these recent videos: *LET'S TALK: Peta, Vegans, Food Wasters?* 13:05 "it's scientifically proven humans are supposed to consume meat" *Brits try the Best Pizzas in New York!* 4:07 "who cares about vegans?"

[@BlissBlessHappiness]

Stay disciplined, stay true, the cravings will go away. Try to include some other wholefoods such hemp seeds, Spirulina and Chlorella in larger amounts to see if it makes a difference; a very few of us have become very dependent on certain amino acids because of prior habituation; will go away anyway if all the other indicators are great... 18 years for me, never looked back, really.

@@BlissBlessHappiness Should it take six years for the cravings to go away? That’s a long time!

[@kommad.2931]

Your body is trying to tell you something, especially if those cravings become worse over time. For many people it seems to be the 5-/ 6-year mark at which they realize their bodies are falling apart without those animal products our bodies have evolved to digest.

[@mrscpc1918]

@@BlissBlessHappiness it’s really upsetting because I absolutely want to be vegan and I studied the eCornell course to help. I have over 15 years medical studies and still study but I also have serious genetic conditions which are very challenging to manage and endure.

[@MagnumCarta]

Do you eat a lot of beans / lentils? Sometimes when our body is craving something it is a sign that we're thinking about particular nutrients. I know you said your blood tests are perfect so vitamins are probably fine but maybe you're low in sodium or low in savory foods like glutumates. Do you eat a lot of tomatoes? How about seaweed? I hope these ideas help you out and thanks for being vegan.
