The man behind the reason I became a vegan 25 years ago! Thank you! It changed my life forever and is the most important single act I have ever done. Non-violence is central to my life.
A man who walks his talk...so genuine.
The type of person I'd like to listen to at church! Inspiring to the max!
Truly a remarkable man. We just need another 5.5 billion of his caliber.
Your absolute best interview Chef AJ. What a wonderful inspirational man…truly in touch with what matters. Thankyou.💕
Simply spectacular.. Thank you for interviewing this super human being so incredibly elegantly.
Wow! What a great interview. We need more people like him on this planet.
One of my favorite all time videos. He is such a man of passion, inclusivity, love and compassion. What a blessing to have him in our world. Chef AJ, thank you so much for persevering until he said yes.
I am member of the Food Revolution!!! ❤️John and Ocean!!!!
Thank you - vegan 30+ years because of John Robbins
Yes, Vegan for 27 years, and Diet for New America is why I went vegan.
"Make your life into an expression of your heart." That was John Robbin's response to "How can we support your work?".... He is such a giving soul. It was such a treat to have you interview this wonderful man, Chef AJ. It was made extra special since you are the one who interviewed him...that we all had the gift of the two of you who have made and are continuing to make such a positive difference in the lives of so many. Thank you from the bottom of my very grateful heart.
My absolute pleasure!
Thank you John Robbins - this was a wonderful conversation inspiring me to try harder - do more.
If there were more John Robbins in the world it would be a better place ❤️ Such a humble guy with a big heart ☺️
What a BRIGHT light he is, and so are you!
Let there be peace on Earth and let it begin with me. @5:20 Mr Robbins stated:
We don't have to be predators! We don't have to prey on life to live full and healthy lives.
How powerful of a statement. What an amazing human!
That was so very POWERFUL, what HEART he has!!! I LOVED every second of this interview!❤️❤️❤️
Absolutely love him!!! Thanks for having him on!
Excellent interview, Chef AJ! John Robbins greatly influenced me. He has such a wonderful heart and spirit. 💖
This was such a beautiful show. That last half hour or so was just magic. Truly touched my heart and made me want to keep striving and loving and giving. Thank you!
I like what he says about the lack of "purity" that some in this (plant based) movement deride. Everyone is on their own journey, and whilst WFPB is the destination, not everyone can cope with absolute adherence and become disillusioned with the criticism they receive if they stray from the path of "purity". Well said John Robbins for addressing this in a balanced, sensible way.
Also, being from and living in England, where firearms are not common and legal to own (except in certain, highly controlled circumstances) it's hard to understand why the authorities in the US cannot legislate similarly. Far too many lives are lost unnecessarily over on your side of the pond.
Agreed!
John Robbins....you are an amazing wonderful loving❤ man ....as in your son Ocean.
Thank you AJ- my very favorite interview !!!!!
What an amazing person❤️
We are made in the image of God...so yeah, all of us have the power within us that gets activated with the Truth...
One of the most beautiful and moving interviews I have ever had the pleasure to hear. Such a wonderful, caring man who made so many points that all sides could agree on.
Thank you both for this interview! ❤ So many great take aways, - Laughed out loud with "doggy dog world." I wrestle with anger and sadness and ego. Thank you for addressing it all and for your humility, love, & faith - it inspires me and helps me keep putting one foot in front of the other every time I hear you talk - I'm sure I'll listen to this again & again as needed 😊 💕
I just loved this interview. He truly embodies the concept of “integrity.” 🙏🏼💜
What an interview! AJ you are so good with your questions and also by being so quiet so the person can just talk without interruptions. I cried when he talked about Martin Luther King and then again about all the shootings. So good to hear this. I wish everyone in Congress could hear this.
What a wonderful man! Thank you for having him today. I love listening to the FRN Summits, but it’s nice to hear more about him.
Glad you enjoyed it!
Love John Robbins point at the end of changing the food the kids eat and seeing it makes a huge difference. Changing the highly refined processed sugar foods to healthy whole foods changes their personalities.
Wow..... just wow!
Thank you chef AJ and John Robbins for this wonderful interview, this interview brought me to tears. I read his book in the 90’s, I went vegetarian and lost my way for a few years but now I’ve been vegan for over 7 years and I will never go back.
Glad you enjoyed it
Gratitude for Chef AJ and John Robbins!
Best interview ever! Thank you, Chef AJ.
John Robbins is such an inspiration. His story is absolutely amazing. So kind, selfless and an extraordinary human. The world would be a better place if there were more like him.
Great interview, Chef AJ! You ask such insightful questions to bring out the best in others. This was one to top them all. John Robbins is so inspiring. He makes all feel like they can do something good in life, however small. I love the emphasis on being a nonjudgmental vegan. Beautiful! Thank you for the inspiration and information you pump out daily, Chef AJ! Blessings on you.
Glad you enjoyed it!
I so agree that we need to be more supportive and less judgmental. People are on their own journey and we need to respect that. I like how Chef A.J. makes the point most of us were not borne vegan. This is a great interview.
Yes, I bought your book John. I like your expression of compassion. I am allergic to soy, to gluten and other things. I do eat as much vegetarian as I can, in the past I always grew a vegetable garden. My mother made delicious vegetables so I grew up with wonderful food. I do the Best I can. Thank you for your Compassion 💚
I once went to hear him speak and he started off with what do we get asked all the time as vegetarians? WHERE WILL YOU GET YOUR PROTEIN?! the audience shouted and then laughed so hard.....
Wonderful and moving interview. John imparts so many profound and inspiring life lessons that I've listened to it a number of times. It will have a lasting impact on me and how I live my life. Thank you both.
The one person I would love to meet. He is an amazing human and I have admired him for decades.
I learn something from every Chef AJ podcast. I love this story and how it ended. I did not know John's legacy until now. This is so beautiful it brought me to tears. Thanks for the work you both do and the knowledge and good you bring to the world.
Glad you enjoyed it
Thank you for this interview. Very touching & inspiring.
Peaceful words of wisdom and kindness! Such a fabulous mindful and lovely enlightened Friday gift, Chef AJ & mister Robbin!
✨NAMASTE & Thank you✨
Such an outstanding, wonderful interview. Speechless 💜 thank you so much 💗
Glad you enjoyed it!
Stellar Conversation w/ such an Important Living Legend of our Time.
Thank You Chef AJ! Truly Grateful for both Your Work & John Robbins Legacy. ~ Much Love & Namaste
FR was the first summit I have ever watched clear through. A gathering of like minded sincere thinking people. Thank you for that.
Respect! ❤️
I dont believe in war and weapons. According to my experience to solve any conflict you have to become part of a transFormation where love opens the hearts. Everything depends on this transformation of the heartmind. Its a total illution that we are separate but to transform hate we must invite the revolutionary practice of listening to the shared heart - hate and anger cannot be killed but it can be transformed - every a t of empathy and love is an act of transformation and opening into the field of love - listen as deeply as you can andpractice to devote yourself from your heart love & light & joy of life 🎵💗🎶
This man is my pope.
Wow…what an incredible man and such values and morals instilled in him. The ending was magical and so inspiring. Thank you Chef AJ, you are a gem 💎
Fantastic! Loving your channel! And love this interview!
Great
A beautifull message inspiring for everybody listening humbly from the songs of the shared heart of Life 🎶💜🎵
WOW!
Thank you Chef AJ.
So inspired by this interview that I just had to share with friends and family and post on my Facebook page. Thank You 🙏
This was awesome! Thank you!
You're so welcome!
Loved this interview 💚
Yes, Martin Luther King, so young, such a Loss. I know our Country and our World would be much Better, much Smarter, much more Compassionate. The Pain and Despair were Real. It is Real today with very dysfunctional people in leadership positions.
❤️
Jamocha Almond Fudge used to be my favorite lol
Thank you for this interview. There are not enough words...
John Robbins!❤️🙏❤️🙏❤️
God created our bodies to heal itself if we give it the proper nutrition.
Watching recording and getting angry at this old "baby step" arguement. The Titanic is half way down, amazon is on fire, environmental apocalypse began long ago, waters are rising and what, only a few of us should grab the bucket to bail out the ship when others refuse to help? Sorry. We should be offended, outraged and nauseous. Tolerating such self centerdness is not an option. It's disgusting and we can be as angry as anyone should be if their home was being destroyed because it IS. I just protested a kids fishing derby and there it was, the start of gutting empathy!
Laura Beth I concur with you. We are watching the inevitable. "Dont look up".
My friend's mother says if she goes vegan then she has to move out
I’m part of that 15%. Cilantro tastes like soap.
🤣
is he a vegan? i thought he was pescatarian? veganism is an ethical position. if you are a health food vegan then of course eating a bit if fish might still be healthy. but being tolerant is all well but i guess at the end of the day the animals are caught in the cross hairs of your so called toleration. but if he's not an ethical vegan he probably shouldn't be giving sermons on how vegans should be for him to be comfortable.
Yes, I just finished dark chocolate with Blueberries, Delicious 💙🤎💙
Wow!
