Plant based/vegan cult is not going to heal human, not the earth either, because the information simply misleading. Nature inherently contains killings and predations. Human is a species of hunting, of predation. Even 10k years of agriculture is a very short period in term of human history and genre evolution. The natural human diet contains huge amount of animal proteins. Vegan simply takes away all animal proteins, and also takes away the natural human diet.

That's a good differentiation! Thanks for that

[@kendallwolf8406]

Love this, thank you!

[@kasathome1]

I enjoyed your video and found it very informative. I do not like the background music playing while you are talking tho. It is very distracting.

[@cesareborgia3557]

It's clear, this is a changed doctrine. It's not Vegan vs Plant Based. It's really Vegetarian vs Vegan

[@SomewhereInIndiana1816]

Great explanation, thank you! 👍👏. Really interesting!

[@hervibe2243]

Thank you so much this really helped explain everything

[@FelixArdLykke]

I eat all food except gluten lactose and seedoils. Now when you explain it so well I am going to try pesceterian and avoid all other meat such as red meat or chicken. Thanks for being so healthy oriented person ❤ even thoughts I dont know all the science facts I trust every word you deliver🫶

[@DrLaurieMarbas]

Wonderful!

I eat a plant-based diet, but it's only about 80 percent whole foods. It's not true you have to eat only whole foods to be healthy. My cholesterol is very low and I do use oil, salt, nuts, and processed foods. I follow the American Heart Associations guidelines, and keep saturated fat very low in the diet. Once you do that, you can eat alot of different vegan/plant-based foods and not have a very restrictive diet. Also, if you have polymorphisms in the FADS genes (as I do), you may need more polyunsaturated fats than what can be supplied in a no-oil, no nut diet.

[@lashakelly1]

THANK YOU FOR THIS.

[@geno5169]

I totally agree with you on this

[@natalieamore8195]

If you have a condition like I have called Fimilia Hypercholesterolemia, your body cannot afford to have any extra fats in your foods. Before going vegan my cholesterol levels were off the charts . My cholesterol did improve tremendously after going vegan but not good enough because I was still eating processed vegan cheese,vegan butter ,coconut oils and lots of vegan desserts .. My body does best on a very strict Whole Foods diet .

[@Magnulus76]

@@natalieamore8195 Margarine (Vegan butter) and vegan cheese made from coconut oil will definitely raise anyone's cholesterol, as coconut oil (and palm oil) is known to do that. I'm talking about unsaturated oils like olive oil or sesame oil. They typically are associated with lowering cholesterol, not raising it.

[@rebecatorres2859]

Yeah…. Who sponsors the American heart association?…

[@kevingarris198]

I firmly believe that Dr. Joel Fuhrman's nutritarian eating style, that selectively incorporates high quality foods of animal origin as a supplement to its WFPB core, is the most health promoting and sustainable dietary pattern (not unduly restrictive)

[@Magnulus76]

I'm curious what that looks like. In most cultures that ate a plant-based diet, like rural China a century ago, a chicken breast would feed a whole family (perhaps sliced up and cooked in congee, with the bones steamed for a broth), and they wouldn't be eating that sort of thing necessarily every day. It's hard to see how that sort of diet would be benefitting substantially from that sort of incidental meat consumption.

[@kevingarris198]

@@Magnulus76 His recommended dietary pattern relegates flesh foods, egg whites and grass fed dietary to minor roles, representing a maximum of perhaps 5-10% of the overall diet. The principal constituents of his diet are greens, beans, onions, mushrooms, berries and seeds, which he emphasizes using the acronym "GBOMBS"

[@Magnulus76]

@@kevingarris198 Beans are the only food in that list that have substantial amounts of calories- he doesn't seriously expect people to meet their caloric needs just eating beans?

the health spin is interesting. i can see how plant-based could be perceived as inherently healthy. it sounds healthy, especially when followed by the words “whole foods diet.” it can be used strategically to sell vegan food or things to a wide diverse audience without being misleading. people who have their minds made up about what vegan is might have different thoughts about plant based. it describes a thing not a person, and is open-ended and ambiguous. it’s approachable for non-vegans who don’t want to be labeled or commit to anything. for us long time vegans, maybe we’re out to lunch with coworkers and not feeling particularly chatty when a coworker insists on us trying their steak. pull out the plant-based card and return the attention to them they’ll probably appreciate it :) i will say that in my experience when vegan comes up these days i get way more “oh that’s cool”s than confused looks. i can’t remember the last time i was interrogated. i love going to a regular supermarkets and seeing so many processed food items that don’t have animal ingredients. no complaints from me on a sleeve of oreos or amy’s microwave dinner. i will say i appreciate the manufacturers who still include the word vegan somewhere on the packaging for their plant-based products, and even better when it’s the certified vegan stamp. no harm in a little v in a circle that folks not looking for it wouldn’t think twice about anyway. if something’s marked plant-based but I don’t see a V anywhere, I’ll google the company and most often it’s included in a FAQ. it’s a little extra effort but a huge win for the animals overall. but plant-based will never = vegan for me. if mcdonalds starts calling the big mac 100% plant-based, it wouldn’t be absolutely incorrect. maybe they consider the base ingredients to be the bun and condiments, topped with two all beef patties, of course :)

[@josephdirnfeld3593]

Whole Foods plant diet, would a target plant diet count?

[@robwin0072]

Hello, I am planning a plant-based diet transition. I discovered your channel this morning. Do you have a recommended meal preparation cookbook? How long have you been plant-based?

[@mikemcconeghy4658]

I'm not sure she would recommend cooking. Seems like she was against processing foods, if I heard her correctly. So, maybe just wash things off and eat them? I hope she responds to your query.

[@geno5169]

I want to start this new life stile! But this plant based is new for me$ I usually eat. 2 to 4 eggs with avocado 🥑. I love my burgers too. I just bought these bocca burgers. Do i have to give up my eggs?

[@magalissantiago2817]

Lol...eat what you want, nobody is making you do anything, if you give up animal flesh it's because you have compassion for the animals, Noone can make you care or have compassion, it comes from with IN.

[@zalxder]

I identify as a Vegan because I came from the Vega star system 🌟🖖👽🌿

[@geno5169]

Like can you help me ? Where planning on going to a Mexican restaurant tonight for our daughter’s birthday. What can I eat in a Mexican restaurant’? All I’ve been eating was eggs salmon. Burgers. Is bocca burger safe on plant based?

[@wrathofraider7601]

I usually would get a veggie bean burrito, no cheese, no sour cream and some chips

[@hasanchoudhury5401]

Unprocessed plant based food not from stores but directly from plants in the home garden or from the farmers market like our grandmothers ate always. Like they did from the ancestral times. No processing. No packages. No oil or fats if at all possible. No salt if possible. Several major civilizations like the Chinese and Indians were on Rice Aztec were on Corn Incas were on Potato Mesopotamians were on Wheat for a very long time before they tamed the domestic animals. Dr John Mcdougal And others talk about these.

[@cheryljohnston8687]

My husband and I went vegan because we found out meat and cheese cause a lot of health problems. Had nothing to do with ethical reasons. So there are other reasons to be vegan. I know many vegans who would eat from something with a face if it was healthy overall. Especially Christian Vegans.

[@DrLaurieMarbas]

For me personally, my journey has evolved to include the ethical treatment of animals and also the choices I make and how they impact our earth and climate. Going plant based is a triple win for your health, the animals, and the earth.

[@cheryljohnston8687]

@@DrLaurieMarbas that's wonderful! I my family went back to eating meat and dairy for 5 years now but I'm looking to go plant based so I'm researching again. I think your videos will help me. Glad to know the impact it will have is so positive 😊

I would say if our bodies require Vit B and you can’t get it without supplements or eating animal products, then we are meant to eat animal products.

[@jjradV]

Vit b12 is produced by bacteria. Animals including humans must obtain it directly or indirectly from bacteria. Farmed animals receive B12 from eating supplemented feed , also,from being exposed to bacteria laden manure and drinking untreated contaminated water.

[@smallfootprint2961]

Where did you get that? Please provide links. If you're esting enough food, you should have no problem getting all the vitamins you need. b12 is recommended for all people these days as we live a more sterile life. Most people don't get the bacteria from the ground we used to.

But Oreo was declared safe for Vegans by the vegan society

[@owenmclain3327]

Vegetarian is best.

[@twincities651]

I thought Oreos were vegan?

[@pm1647]

They are but unhealthy

[@sifelaver]

Oreos are vegan, but vegan is not a synonym for healthy. I wouldn’t describe oreos as healthy or unhealthy. Maybe you’re a gym rat and the health care professionals you consult with wouldn’t blink if you mentioned you like to have a few oreos here and there. Or maybe you have type 2 diabetes and it’s recommended you abstain. But it’s not like cigarettes where i think even most smokers would agree are unhealthy. It’s possible to be vegan, healthy, and have some oreos here and there. Spring water is unhealthy if you drink enough of it at once. There are as many health nuts out there who are vegan as there are who are not vegan :)

[@devindandurand1933]

Oreos are far from vegan or plant based.

[@legnasantiago8042]

Veganism isn’t a diet , it’s an ethical lifestyle .

[@htinternational2474]

vegan food is yummy though but fattening 😊

[@Golfr2020]

What makes me laugh is when people who take up a plant base diet and then call themselves Vegan. Lol They are not the same.
