That is what it was for me growing up eating frozen Brussels sprouts that had been boiled to death. Waterlogged, tasteless Brussels sprouts-turns my stomach just thinking about it. Then someone showed me how to roast them. Oh my goodness! They were fantastic! I now thoroughly enjoy Brussels sprouts either roasted or sautéed, or even sliced raw in salads.

AviatorMaus I have a suggestion: instead of saying that you HATE beans, try saying you are still learning to like beans. It's mostly about your mentality. Your tastebuds will grow to like different tastes when you eat new things.

Our traditions are called Ital livity, no animal products and no processed deadly 'foods' and sugar, we feed our body living energy (plants and ground provisions) as dead flesh/carcass drains our energy.. So I'm shocked sometimes when I see people say plant based is unhealthy and doesn't taste good because our foods are rich in taste, health and diversity etc etc Just season your food to liking and feed your temple. Blessed!

Most people's idea of veggies is limited, that's why they claim they hate veggies and that they don't have any idea what vegans eat. I bet they eat green beans, corn, broccoli, a plain salad, maybe a baked white potato. Soul food veggies are (of course) sweet potatoes, collard greens, and cabbage with greens and cabbage containing meat, fat, and bones "for flavor" which never made sense to me but that's usually a Southern US thing.

As a vegan, I wish in challenges like this they would mention the environmental and ethical reasons behind going vegan; it almost never happens and I think this is the primary reason people stick to a vegan or at least a more plant-based diet.

[@thepictureispavement]

It would be great if they did a tally of the estimated gallons of water, reduction in greenhouse gas output, animal lives saves, etc. these two did in just one week. It is a LOT more than people think.

[@helianthe3457]

I respectfully disagree. Mentionning those issues every time we talk about a vegan diet tends to make people be defensive about their habits and they won't be as open to change if they feel like the content is a sermon. To a lot of people, there are the reasons to do it, but then there is daily life. If they end up stuck with no way of making it easy for them, and not even enjoying what they eat, they won't stick to a vegan diet. Showing people that it can be easy and tasty and everything you want it to be is really important because it can seem very intimidating and hard to follow when you don't know anything about plant based diets. I feel like dedicated videos about the ecological repercussions are more useful, and that those food videos just serve another purpose. Just my opinion though!

[@LivingLifeAsMaddie]

@@helianthe3457 I get what you're saying! I definitely think, though, that there is a lighthearted way to say, "Hey, while you're enjoying this delicious food, you're saving X amount of CO2 from entering the atmosphere."

@@LivingLifeAsMaddie Yeah I get what you mean, I think that at the end of the day it depends of the type of people you're talking to. Some will get annoyed, some don't even know a thing about the damages the meat industry does and might respond better. To each their own I guess!

[@helianthe3457]

@Gabriel Leka Don't present your opinion as fact with like one vegan activist to back it up. He didn't prove anything, he just has the same opinion you have lol. It's still just that: an opinion. It's a conversation that is not black or white and that vegan activists are still having to this day. Some argue that on the contrary, your kind of activism just hurts the image of vegans in general, and I tend to agree. Veganism is not just about "being friend of the animals" or whatever, there are a lot of very serious ecological implications, and HUMAN suffering as well (people working in slaughter house are usually working in horrible conditions for example) to take intl account, and when you go off like that talking about being friends of animals or being truthful, you antagonize people instead of interesting them to your point of view. There is a difference between sharing a new lifestyle and being condescending to people.

I think it’s so interesting with how complicated new vegans think being vegan is. Like you can totally just use spaghetti noodles if you don’t have soba. You forget how overwhelming it is in the beginning when you have been vegan for so long

[@Ketutar]

Just my thought :-D As if vegan pasta was something else than normal pasta. (Of course, not egg pasta, but most commercial everyday normal pasta is made of just flour and water.) One doesn't need to start eating kale and things one cannot pronounce, or start making your own tofu :-D Especially, when one hasn't had an especially good diet to begin with, it's a bit weird to start worrying about micronutrients :-D

[@saturn4rchive]

Honestly a LOT of vegan food doesn't even have greens on it, speaking for myself and some of my friends, a lot of it is just rice, beans, chickpeas and just about any other carb I can find lol, I do eat a ton of veggies, but it doesn't mean you can't go vegan if you dislike a lot of veggies

Also, meals in airplanes are heated up in special ovens, I have never heard a plane having the possibilty of heating something random up on a plane. No hate though, great video :-)

[@Sam-vo1lf]

For me the only thing that made me really stick with being vegan and make the mental switch was making the ethical connection. Not only is the meat and dairy/egg industry destroying the planet, but the extreme animal suffering and cruelty is not necessary. We can thrive on a plant based diet, we don't need to be eating animals or their byproducts.

In other countries plants are cross-bred and grown with a greater focus on flavor than appearance. The best way to get tasty produce in the US is to go to local farmer's markets!
