    Thanks for watching! I would love your feedback. The background music? Thoughts? Too much? Too loud? Not when I'm talking? I try and find music that fits the setting and an appropriate level to keep things interesting but sometimes I wonder if it adds or takes away from the experience for most people. Thank you for the feedback as I am always trying to improve and make the best content possible for you! Positive and constructive is welcome.

      Hi Derek,thanks for the great video. The music is not distracting at all, goes great with the video.

Thanks again!

    I recently started eating a plant-based diet. There are a few channels that I have been following to minimize the difficulties associated with such a drastic lifestyle change.
