I'm not sure if it's necessary, but I've always been honest with you all, so I'll continue to be. After a short but meaningful 2 years & 2 months, I'm ending my plant-based journey. It feels cautious to say this. I won't return to old habits & maintaining 90% plant-based diet. Plz understand that doesn't mean I'll share meat recipes soon. It's for upcoming travels & to have more options. I won't judge your choices, hope you won't judge me, either. Thanks for your time and watching my video!
I was vegetarian and then vegan for quite a few years and I loved it but my health, unfortunately, wouldn’t allow for me to continue the diet. Between allergies and health issues, I had to change things. We all have to do what’s best for us. My diet is still veggie heavy because that’s what I enjoy. Don’t listen to any of the negative people. Best wishes! ❤
Hi Seonkyoung! Thank you for your honesty to us! I won't judge because a person should eat what he/she wants but also should remain healthy. Wow I'm looking forward to your travel vlogs! I'm happy for you because you have a protective, encouraging and loving husband. Don't mind those haters because there are people who love you like me!❤ No pressure in making a recipe involving meat once again. Fighting!😊
I have been vegan for 11 years and I started watching your channel before you were plant based. I didn’t judge you then and I certainly don’t judge you now. You have to do what makes you feel good. You have to follow the path that you are on right now. It’s your path to follow, no one else’s. I’m vegan right now, but if I’m not happy any more with this path then I’ll change it. Thank you for teaching me so much over the years about Korean cooking, I look forward to learning so much more from you. I started watching your channel to learn about Korean cooking not vegan cooking. Much love to you and your husband.
Then, that wouldn’t make you vegan. That would make you not a vegan. Anyone who can go back to harming animals was never truly a vegan cuz the word vegan means a lot more than the food someone puts on their plate. While I agree people should do what they feel they want to.. but, people forget there are other beings involved in those choices. And the backwards comments of live happy live free, is such a slap in the face to those beings on the plates. :/ js
Seon, I’m proud of you for being honest with us and especially with yourself. Life never goes as planned. Life isn’t fair. As long as we’re doing our part in this world, whether it be small or big, I believe it still makes an impact. You can’t make everyone happy, so at least try to make yourself happy 😊
You go Jacob!! We love you both and whatever you both decide to do in your lifetime to give you joy and peace go for it! Life is to short to live unhappy ❤
I went plant-based a few years ago and had the same issues. Being social is super difficult unless you want to eat French fries at every restaurant you go to. The experience still opened my eyes to vegetables being eaten as an entree or having meals without meat.
@ZEJ as someone who's been vegan for 11 years: at a lot of restaurants, especially in smaller places, french fries are often the only vegan option. it's getting better a lot of places and you can of course try to plan your eating and find wich restaurants (if any) has vegan options, but if you're someone who wants to take things as they come and be spontaneous, it's not easy. :/
I personally hardly go out anymore, or, I eat healthy before hand, bring my own dressings/sauces and such.. many places have baked potatoes and steamed veggies just say no butter and such. Pretty easy if you want to make it work. There are so many ways to not have to fall back. But.. it is ultimately her decision for what she wants to do.
I do agree, I been vegetarian for 22 years, and the hardest part is not giving up meat, it's feeling left out during social experiences especially family gatherings. But it's the sacrifice I make for my faith, because I didn't go veg for my health. You can still eat meat and be healthy.
It is hard. I have to be vegan and gf for my health conditions. It's so hard to eat out I just make my own food at home. Wish it wasn't like that 😢 I can't even really enjoy a bday dinner because many restaurants cannot cater to vegan and gf. 🫠 maybe one day we will have more options for us who have allergies and health issues ! I really feel this comment 😂
Seonkyoung you are your own self and you can do whatever you would like. I feel bad that you feel like you have to even explain yourself to us. It’s your body, your choice, if people get mad or don’t agree that’s their problem. I love you and Jacob and I love seeing him stand up for you and support you! I’m excited for y’all to start your travels!💚
@JoyCobb - exactly. It’s sad that she feels so much anxiety over doing what she wants and what makes her happy because she’s worried what followers would think. You can tell it bothers her. I can’t imagine worrying so much what ppl say esp when I don’t them. It blows my mind. I guess thats what happens when you share your life so openly with strangers. They feel they get their shot to judge and shame too… I didn’t realize she had so many followers. That’s a huge job to amass so many followers over the years.
Honestly I'm very happy for you, if I can be sincere, these past 2 years I noticed that the look in your eyes wasn't as happy as before. You used to be more cheerful and I'm really happy that you are going to make your dream come true. Maybe we can see the cheerful and happy Seonkyoung again 😊
I love how passionately Jacob defends/supports you and your decisions. I have been enjoying watching the vlogs and wish the best for you both as you begin your journey traveling the world!
I never expected you to be 100% plant based, Seonkyeong. I’m not vegan by any meaning of the words. I think judging by your pinned comment, you’re technically still plant based. I eat mostly plant based (85% of the time) coz my body can’t tolerate much animal protein. I don’t bother to get plant based condiments as it tastes different and often hard to get where i live. When i travel i often eat stuff that’s visibly plant based but not the broth and condiments. I don’t care coz i don’t eat like that everyday. Please take good care of yourself and vegan or not we all can eat more veggies. I look forward to your travel vlogs. Please do advise us on what would you replace the animal protein in whatever food you eat. Thank you, Seonkyeong. Lots of love from Indonesia.
Thank you for this video, I was plant based as well and followed your videos, now we are on the same journey! I was healthier in my body from plant based eating but my mental health was declining a lot, it was very sad to see that people who were vegan didn't supported me and started having a very extreme mentality instead of telling me that's it's ok and that we should do what's best for our health! Seing a nutritionist really helped me set my mind straight🙏🏻
I love how honest you are about your process. Some people find a healthy routine and stick to it for their whole lives. Other people find that they feel best adapting their routine as the rhythms of their life change. You remind me of the coconut trees in your front yard, strong and fruitful, but also surprisingly flexible when the situation calls for it. We don't all have to live the same life or believe the exact same things. Blessings and peace to you and your family as you continue your beautiful journey.
3 years ago my husband and I quit our jobs, sold everything and started our online businesses. Everything from scratch just to start living as we wanted. Traveling the world as digital nomads. It has been the best decision of our lifes! We are from Spain, and so far, we have lived in Thailand, Malaysia and Philipines. Next stop is Mexico! It will be so nice to meet you both one day in any part of this beautiful planet! Btw, my husband knows Jacob already as he is also part of Alldayrunning 😉 Wish you all the best! And love all your videos and your positive energy! 🫰🏻😘
Just here to say I'm a long time follower, and have cooked many of your recipes both vegan and non-vegan. I struggled with a similar decision a few years ago and I'm glad to see your courage in choosing what feels right for you. It's easy to say "f the haters", but words can be hurtful - and too many are disrespectful for no reason. Glad hear Jacob stand by you in this video, he makes a lot of great points. Can't wait to see what's next in your journey
YES!!! I agree with every word Jacob said, even the bleep bleep bleeps! like my grandma always said, "if you don't have anything nice to say, don't say anything at all." Seonkyoung, girl, be happy and do you, whatever that may be...I'll be watching and cheering you on.
Seonkyoung, I couldn’t agree more with what Jacob had to say when you decided to let your fans know that you were no longer going to be 100% plant based. It’s your life, you do you! Be happy!! I’m so excited for you two to travel the world and look forward to seeing your new vlogs❤Aloha!!🤙🏻🫰🏻 #couplegoals
I have been watching your videos since the very beginning of your channel. You both have given us so much of your lives thru your work. And I, for one, appreciate you both so very much. Thank you Jacob for your service. And Seonkyoung for sharing your life and culture with us through the smiles and the tears. Little do you know that sometimes God answered prayers through your work. And I will be forever grateful for ALL OF IT. So, whatever you do and wherever you go, I will follow you and live through your adventures. God bless you both, continue being true to yourselves, and don't ever feel trapped in the moment. I look forward to some new, non plant based recipes and adventures but whatever you both decide to do, AM HERE FOR IT. 💐🎈❤️🥰
I'm guilty of always focusing on the negative instead of the positive, even if there's a lot more positive. Hoping & praying we all can focus on the positive and kick the negative to the curb 🙏😇 Love this channel and all you do ❤
As a cat person/ kitten foster, I gotta ask... is there going to be stipulation for Bella when it comes to selling your home and land? I assume she's staying there?
You have honestly helped me get through some hard times with intense anxiety and self doubt. Your humor, kindness, and sharing of your food has been a home away from home to me over the years. Despite not being plant based myself, I kept watching for YOU! Because YOU ARE AMAZING 🎉
Went through something similar to you when i went vegan and trust me, you never win no matter what you do so do what makes you feel happy and what feels right. ❤
I appreciate that you’ve given so many great recipes for the plant-based and non plant-based diet! I’ve been following you since the pandemic and enjoyed learning how to cook delicious Korean food during that whole quarantine period. I too support whatever journey makes you guys happy ❤️
Seonkyoung I have been with you since your early days. And I really loved your asian at home recipes. I live in a country where vegan products are not easily available which you used to use your plant base recipes. I'm so happy that you will be sharing those again ❤
realest vlog ive seen in a longgg time. no one is this real anymore. you both are a beam of light in this social community! never stop being real so others dont have to be afraid to stand up if they think the same way. this recent culture of condemnation is the stupidest development of modern society. live life the way that makes you joyful Seonkyoung, that joy will do so much more for the world.
“After experiencing so much death and loss, you realize: nothing is that serious… ..Nothing is that serious. Just live a happy life.” ~ Seonkyoung Longest THANK YOU for this reminder 💖💖💖
But.. adding more death to the plate… and the decline of our planet and future life for this planet we call home and peoples children call home.. the amount of death and loss to selfishly ignore just to have a convenient experience. Just live happy.. while sentient beings suffer at the hands of those consuming them.. so much love huh. But let’s ignore the facts. Right.
Nothing is that serious … cuz the planet suffering and creatures suffering and depleting of soils/forests/ and all that.. that’s not serious. This mentality… is the problem with this world. Go have fun, to live your life and pretend like the negative impact you’re creating “isn’t that serious” 🙄
@@Spudley_ann If you are going to focus on the decline of our planet and future life, there are bigger issues (environmental and societal alike) to address than someone deciding to change their diet.
i'm mostly pescetarian/vegetarian for 6 years now. when i travel, i eat meat sometimes when im with friends. i dont enjoy beef/pork/chicken anymore as i did way back then. and so i was happy and inspired when you became fully plantbased, but to each her own. i'll still follow you and support you! fightiiing! 💚💚💚
The only positive thing I can say is at least you didn't make up a health issue or blame it on a health issue, thereby throwing the animal rights movement under the bus, like a lot of ex-vegans tend to do rather than being honest and admitting that it's just a preference thing or a lack of desire to keep up the lifestyle. So in a way, I do respect that honesty and taking ownership of the problem.
She did say in this video that her mental health has not improved and doesn't know if she's happier being plant-based and it's a struggle. So at least part of this is decision is because being "plant-based" was detrimental to her (mental) health.
@@himasf Yes it can feel socially isolating sometimes if you don't have other vegans in your life, and this can test one's desire and moral convictions to maintain the lifestyle.
Just wanted to say we all are evolving and with that these chapters always come to an end. I don't understand why some people take it so personal when you decide to change YOUR lifestyle? Lol you do you and keep on evolving and slaying. Your talent is undeniable and the negative and hurtful remarks from strangers come from a personal space they have yet to address. Unfortunately it just seems easier to project their personal problems into someone who is doing good and living a happy life. Love your journey and the recipes have helped me expand my diet and palate ❤
I've been with yall on this journey for literal years now and I just have to say, shoutout to Jacob for being such a supportive and loving husband through everything yall have done and gone through. I hope he reads this!
Dear SeokYoung, I have been watching your videos for years. You literally thought me how to make Asian food (that I love so much) at home. You did that in the most fun way with your sparkly personality. And I appreciate it very much. It’s crazy to me that we have to emphasized this and assure you but of course you can eat and live your life the way you want to. And I know that’s easily said and there are always people who judge others for their personal choices. Even when it’s food. But I hope you learn to tune those people out. Especially the ones who criticize only to be hateful. They are not worth your energy whatsoever. Most of us followed you because we like your personality and we love your food. That didn’t change for me when you went plant based. Although there was some adjusting as I’m not plant based. It certainly won’t change now because you decided to not go 100% plant based anymore. Life is so short, do what makes you happy, eat what makes you happy. Lots of love for you and Jacob from Europe.
Hey Seonkyoung - I've been watching you for a long time during your Asian at Home series, but I kind of dropped off because although I try to eat a lot of veggies, I'm not all plant-based and found it hard to make those kind of recipes. I'm stoked that you and Jacob are going to travel the world and can't wait to follow along on your journey. I think it's important to remember that life is never taken in one straight line, but it's going to zig zag all over the place and as long as you can center yourself throughout the process, you're going to do fine. Good luck on your transition out of Maui and enjoy your traveling!
What matters is what feels right for Seonkyung. Moderation is the most important here, we only live once and life is too short to miss out on all the delicious food out there. Plant-based or not. For me, I'll go for a 90% carnivore-feeding frenzy without caring about what the Vegan cult fanatics think. Some of these Vegans are taking it too far by acting almost like some religious cult that shuns people who eat differently. I don't hate plant based consumers, I just hate any type of fanatism.
Seonkyoung, I have the same struggles as you. I balance that by eating plant-based at home and being forgiving while out. I was never a big meat eater, but I’ve always loved fish and seafood. It’s okay. Being honest with yourself = happiness. ❤ Wishing you and Jacob all the best. I’ll continue to tune in to watch your updates and cooking. 💖
I’m glad you’re no longer solely plant based. I like everything in balance. Some plant some fish some meat. I think you’ll be much happier. Balance in food, balance in life!
I’ve been following you since your Sacramento days. I plan to follow you through your next journey. Im so happy for you and Jacob!! Don’t worry about the haters. Do you, girl!! 💗
Your husband is so awesome and supportive. You gave plant base a try , just like we all try thing, but if it doesn’t work out it’s ok. If you don’t try you will never know if it’s for you or not. Just know you are awesome
Hi =) I started watching you when you were not plant-based, I was happy to see you becaming vegan, but I will definitely do not judge you for getting back not to be 100% plant based. I know how hard it sometimes can be. I am a medic and I do work at many events, vegan options are very rare in these events. And sometimes I just do not have time to prepare vegan food and I can´t leave to go for shopping. Last week, I worked at big event, 16 hours a day for 4 days. Last day I run of my own food, I was hungry and tired... So I had the vegetarian option they offered. I wish you and Jacob all the best, I love your videos 💜
Jacob is 100% on the dot with what he was saying in the car! I can't imagine how stressful it must be to make literally any decision on social media without being judged or hated on. You're stronger than you think and way stronger and braver than anyone who leaves a hateful comment, because we all know they couldn't sit in the same seat as you. It's YOUR life, you do YOU! We are all supporting and rooting for the both of you and can't wait to see all the upcoming travel videos!!
I have been a huge fan of yours for soo long and was excited when you decided to go plant based. I too go back and forth between plant based and vegetarian and understand the struggles with eating when dining out and traveling, no judgement here! I am so excited to see where life takes you and look forward to new videos/vlogs. Jacob is so sweet and I loved his energy in this video. Love you guys!!!!!
I followed you for a long time and even with you went plant based I still made your recipes with some protein of course. But you also inspired me to go plant base intermittently and my body did feel good. Thanks for always welcoming us into your home. 😊
Aww, I’m so happy for you. I know I don’t know you personally but you’re my RUclips scorpio sister! I have been watching your channel for so many my years and sharing with everyone I know. I am inspired to make sure I capture all of the amazing memories of my own personal growth. Thank you for all you have shared and inspired me to do and try. I truly believe that you should do whatever makes you happy. Sending much love, blessings and light always 💕.
Every one needs a life partner like Jacob! You two are amazing & even though I myself am a vegetarian (for my personal health reasons) by no means do I expect everyone else to be. You will always have my support sweetie :)
Happy to hear that you are fulfilling your dreams and not taking other people’s (negative) opinions! ❤ Majority of us are cheering you on - that’s what goes around and comes around because you made us happy with your channel. Love you!
Seonkyoung! Thank you so much for sharing your life! I’ve watched your videos for years and I cook more Asian food than anything else! I’ve never been plant-based but I still watch your videos because you are such a kind person and you make me feel good! I’m proud of you for doing what’s best for you and your health and you are willing to make major life changes without being “audience captured”. Traveling the world will be so enriching and fulfilling you’ll be so happy with your life!! I can’t wait to watch your journey!!! Lots of love! 😍😍😍
THIS!!!!!!!!!!!!! It's ironic that both of us spent any time on this video but yeah... I was curious cuz I started seeing seafood and her recipes, I don't think I've watched a single new video since she went plant-based because I ain't about that. Seafood's back on the plate so I'm back for more recipes
The only judgement I want to make is how happy I am for you and Jacob. I see a true partnership with the two of you, what a gift and a blessing. I always ask the question why were we made to eat meat and seafood if we shouldn't, makes no sense, it's really hard to eat 100% vegan, requires lots of condiments, sauces and so on to change it up. No matter Seonkyoung and Jacob, do what makes you happy. Hard to believe you are willing to give up your piece of paradise, but I know you will carry the memories and whenever you need a peaceful place to go, it will be right there in your beautiful head. Congratulations on your American passport, thought you already had one. Can't wait to hear what's next!
Yesssss!!!!!🎉🎉🎉 I am so ready for your adventures!! I love this vlog style with you and Jacob. Hair down, real life, spontaneous laughter, cussing like a sailor, and even Bella's snootiness. I❤IT! I have been following you since Mississippi... and every reiteration, reinvention, growth... I have championed for you because you provide awesome recipes, relatable and engaging content, and a great personality. 🥂 Cheers! To growth and new adventures. Wear that passport out!! STAMP! STAMP! STAMP!! 😅
I’m excited for your new journey! It’s very brave to turn your life upside down to chase what you truly want. Many ppl are afraid of change and do nothing.
My heart was broken when I knew that u discontinued your plant based business. You and your husband are soon nice, u deserve to be recognized. Am so thankful for sharing your wonderful talent that God gave you. I was so happy that I met you and tasted your tasty plant based foods in Maui last March 2023. My daughter want to taste your food in Maui but she will be in Maui sometime this month.. she's so unlucky.. Whatever reasons, continue to be you in a humble ways. I wish you luck in all you do. God bless u and family. You are the best.
Ohhhh I love how Jacob is so passionate about this. He absolutely adores you and want nothing ever bad happened to you. I used to be vegan way back when it wasn't even a thing. It was hard. People judge , even my own family. Keep doing you. You know what's best for you for your body and your life. You don't need other people to give you a green ticket for you to live your life. For example, your diet. You can be keto or vegan or paleo, it's none of anyone's business. You do what makes you happy. If we are waiting around for people to give us a thumbs up of everything we do we will never be happy. Just remember it's your life w Jacob you all need to worry about x❤❤
Kudos to you, Jacob, for standing up for your wife. Haters are going to hate. Let them spew all the garbage they want. Seonkyoung, you've given people across the world so much, and continue to do so. You need to take care of yourself, physically and mentally. Same for Jacob. One thing I've learned in my travels: the first people to point out your faults are the last to admit to their own. I personally enjoy the garlic noodle recipe you showed a while ago and tweaked it a bit for my own tastes. It's great with or without whatever meat you want to add. So you both keep supporting each other through thick and thin. And keep a sense of humor. My wife and I just marked 30 years married, and we agree that keeping a sense of humor makes it easier to support each other. Whenever haters make stupid comments, just consider the source, laugh it off, and move forward.
There's nothing wrong with trying something and not loving it 100%. Include parts you enjoyed in your life and do you. Haters are always going to hate. Ignore them, they mean nothing. =) Excited to see your world travel vlogs! :D
Thank you for being so honest. I also stopped being fully plant-based after 8 years due to very similar reasons, and mentally I just couldn’t do it anymore. I didn’t want a restricted diet to be another thing on my mind constantly, on top of everything else. I hope you don’t let the negative reactions get in the way of doing what’s best for you! ♥️
Hi Seonkyoung, I’ve been watching your videos for years. What you choose to eat is your business, whether 100% plant based or not. Best wishes for your new journey!
You are a wonderful ❤️ person, please live your life 🙏. Whoever saying bad things about you, they're not happy with themselves, you are a very smart person. Take the negative energy a way from.
I relate to your experience eating plant based and I wish the best for you! I was plant based for 5 years, and I found it caused me a lot of stress trying to follow a “perfect” way of eating. In reality, it’s hard in social situations, and I really, truly missed eating eggs and fish. Reading the ingredients on every bottle, asking at every restaurant to confirm ingredients, it felt like too much stress in my life. So now I eat plant based 90% of the time, but I don’t worry about it. When I want to eat eggs or fish I do because my mental health matters, and I am not holding myself responsible to be perfect all the time 😊 Eat what you want and what makes you feel good! It’s been a pleasure to follow your journey for many years now, and it’s inspiring to see you continually making changes to live your life to the fullest 🎉
I have been watching you guys for years because I LOVE Asian food! I have been vegan for many years before you guys we t plant-based and respected yall then and I respect yall even more now, because of your honesty. I'll just take your recipes and make the recipes and make them vegan. ❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤ love you guys and stay awesome!!!!
Quite honestly I am disappointed mostly because I still remember your video about why you chose to be plant-based very vividly and it truly made me look at my own food choices and rethink them, to the point I have eliminated meat out of my diet almost entirely. Of course it feels hypocritical to say this while also admitting that I have not yet been able to quit some foods but I do wonder if you no longer feel the same way about the pain animals go through? In your video it seemed that you chose to be plant-based for ethical reasons more than for health-reasons, so now saying "well I feel healthier but I am inconvenienced" it makes it look like it was not about ethical reasons at all.
That's because she has this weird thing she does, where every couple years she comes up with a reason to have a crisis, or a huge personal thing.... it's a way to get attention and stay relevant, while pretending to be sweet with her Facade. She's talented, but its overshadowed by her inability to be truly happy without drama, contradictions, and hypocrisy. She's always seeking something to get attention for, And each theme or topic only ever lasts a couple years... it's her pattern, and she hates to be called out on it. Lol.
I just want to say, I absolutely love you and your journey! I believe what makes you happy, makes your spirit, mind, body happy! Wishing you and Jacob the very best in your travels! I love your honesty, and you! Just you, for who you are, for how you are! I just love it! Been following you for the past 3 years! You give me joy every time you make a video! I hope you continue to make you happy! We only have 1 life, so enjoy, be happy!
I think it’s really admirable for you to go 100% plant based for so long. You wanted to give it a try for your reasons. And you are allowed to change your mind! And with the pandemic the last 2 years I know it’s really changed a lot of people’s perspectives. Life is too short. Many have lost their lives during this pandemic not to mention how much it’s impacted our society in general. Wishing you all the best and safe travels! I hope this inspires you to create and share recipes from all the amazing food you’ll eat!
Hello from the 🇵🇭! Jacob is the sweetest and most supportive hubby! And I agree with him. Haters gonna hate. No judgment here, live the life you're dreaming of! Life is short. Excited for your new journey. 🥰
This makes me so happy! You have been the person since your very beginning videos that taught me how to cook Asian food. Thank you for those years and for being YOU through the years! I went plant based for a while for my health in my inflammation issues, but I didn’t stay there. I just choose to eat organic meats when I do now that also keep me from having the hormonal issues that some meats were causing. LIVE YOUR LIFE IN JOY GIRLIE! 🎉
I love how passionate Jacob got lol and I for one, don't judge you at all!! Yes, it is a travesty what animals get put through in order for us to eat them but I don't think that us who eat meat are automatically okay with the way these companies treat animals. I just truly believe that this world will slowly but surely get to, and is already on its way to, a big change because of new generations changing things on a bigger scale. Anyway, you do what makes you happy, girl!! That's what life is about!!❤
I think your time spent being plant based has contributed to wonderful recipes! Which helps others who are looking for good food! If this change is able to help you maintain a predominantly plant based diet this is great. I won't touch on the ethics of it all but what you guys are doing being predominantly plant based is what we all should be doing. If this means you'll be able to sustain a diet that is better for the planet then that is wonderful. I hope all the animals that you cared for will be taken care of as you guys have. Loved and cherished. I wish you well on your future travels and adventures!
Love you guys! What will happen to Bella? Also do you still have doggies? Looking forward to new adventures and frankly glad you aren’t 100% plant based…tough on mental health. Just need to know all doggos and kitties will be ok.
🌺 Mahalo for being honest! 😉 Did notice you guys had shrimp chips in the last video... I understand if this isn't for you guys 100%. I will still check in often but I hope you understand that I unsubscribe. 😔 I'm very sad though that 🐾 Bella kitty and the pigs, ducks will lose you since you're leaving the islands and hope their next owners will be as kind. Have a happy and safe journey wherever you're going!
You have the BEST HUSBAND EVER. He's handsome, kind, thoughtful and he loves you. What a lucky woman you are and he's lucky to have you...getting to eat all your delicious food. There is nothing better. Match made in heaven. I love watching you both and I've followed your blog for years. LOVE IT. Just ignore the haters. If you have a hater-filter, leave it on. And just ENJOY LIFE.
Seonkyoung , I've been following you for serval years now. I never dropped your sub even when you went vegan. I am so happy for you and Jacob to do what YOU guys want. Just please be careful when you are traveling. I am looking forward to watching future videos.
Being true to yourself, living up to your dreams and be happy with your decisions is what journey of life is all about. Enjoy your travels, I work in the travel industry, there is so much to see and explore ❤️
Even the smallest change can make a difference ❤😊 You have already made a difference in my life to change how I eat, and possibly others! Maybe someday you will be plant based again, or maybe not, and that's ok! ❤😊😊
It's a real shame that they have framed any potential discourse about veganism as being judgmental, trolling, mockery, attention-seeking etc. There should be space for people who want to stand up against animal abuse without being labeled these things preemptively. There is a way to discuss these things in a civil way that does not undermine the other side's message of compassion.
I think you are brave! ❤you say how you feel in spite of other people’s comments. You tried something and decided later it wasn’t for you. It’s not about saying you couldn’t do it, it is about saying you tried it. That is BRAVE! Good for you for following your dreams and your heart!
I'm not sure if it's necessary, but I've always been honest with you all, so I'll continue to be. After a short but meaningful 2 years & 2 months, I'm ending my plant-based journey. It feels cautious to say this. I won't return to old habits & maintaining 90% plant-based diet. Plz understand that doesn't mean I'll share meat recipes soon. It's for upcoming travels & to have more options. I won't judge your choices, hope you won't judge me, either. Thanks for your time and watching my video!
Do what you need to do to be healthy and happy. I enjoy watching your journey, you’re awesome!
I was vegetarian and then vegan for quite a few years and I loved it but my health, unfortunately, wouldn’t allow for me to continue the diet. Between allergies and health issues, I had to change things. We all have to do what’s best for us. My diet is still veggie heavy because that’s what I enjoy. Don’t listen to any of the negative people. Best wishes! ❤
To each his own! Feel no fear! You are free to eat what you want!! Bless both of you!
No judgement here...do you boo.
Hi Seonkyoung!
Thank you for your honesty to us! I won't judge because a person should eat what he/she wants but also should remain healthy. Wow I'm looking forward to your travel vlogs! I'm happy for you because you have a protective, encouraging and loving husband. Don't mind those haters because there are people who love you like me!❤ No pressure in making a recipe involving meat once again. Fighting!😊
I have been vegan for 11 years and I started watching your channel before you were plant based. I didn’t judge you then and I certainly don’t judge you now. You have to do what makes you feel good. You have to follow the path that you are on right now. It’s your path to follow, no one else’s. I’m vegan right now, but if I’m not happy any more with this path then I’ll change it. Thank you for teaching me so much over the years about Korean cooking, I look forward to learning so much more from you. I started watching your channel to learn about Korean cooking not vegan cooking. Much love to you and your husband.
Love you!! 🫶🏼❤️
Then, that wouldn’t make you vegan. That would make you not a vegan. Anyone who can go back to harming animals was never truly a vegan cuz the word vegan means a lot more than the food someone puts on their plate. While I agree people should do what they feel they want to.. but, people forget there are other beings involved in those choices. And the backwards comments of live happy live free, is such a slap in the face to those beings on the plates. :/ js
Seon, I’m proud of you for being honest with us and especially with yourself. Life never goes as planned. Life isn’t fair. As long as we’re doing our part in this world, whether it be small or big, I believe it still makes an impact. You can’t make everyone happy, so at least try to make yourself happy 😊
You go Jacob!! We love you both and whatever you both decide to do in your lifetime to give you joy and peace go for it! Life is to short to live unhappy ❤
I went plant-based a few years ago and had the same issues. Being social is super difficult unless you want to eat French fries at every restaurant you go to. The experience still opened my eyes to vegetables being eaten as an entree or having meals without meat.
Indeed!! 👍🏼
@ZEJ as someone who's been vegan for 11 years: at a lot of restaurants, especially in smaller places, french fries are often the only vegan option. it's getting better a lot of places and you can of course try to plan your eating and find wich restaurants (if any) has vegan options, but if you're someone who wants to take things as they come and be spontaneous, it's not easy. :/
I personally hardly go out anymore, or, I eat healthy before hand, bring my own dressings/sauces and such.. many places have baked potatoes and steamed veggies just say no butter and such. Pretty easy if you want to make it work.
There are so many ways to not have to fall back. But.. it is ultimately her decision for what she wants to do.
I do agree, I been vegetarian for 22 years, and the hardest part is not giving up meat, it's feeling left out during social experiences especially family gatherings. But it's the sacrifice I make for my faith, because I didn't go veg for my health. You can still eat meat and be healthy.
It is hard. I have to be vegan and gf for my health conditions. It's so hard to eat out I just make my own food at home. Wish it wasn't like that 😢 I can't even really enjoy a bday dinner because many restaurants cannot cater to vegan and gf. 🫠 maybe one day we will have more options for us who have allergies and health issues ! I really feel this comment 😂
Love you no matter what! It’s fun to see you and Jacob laughing so much with eachother still after being married and together for so long❤
Love you!! 🫶🏼
Seonkyoung you are your own self and you can do whatever you would like. I feel bad that you feel like you have to even explain yourself to us. It’s your body, your choice, if people get mad or don’t agree that’s their problem. I love you and Jacob and I love seeing him stand up for you and support you! I’m excited for y’all to start your travels!💚
@JoyCobb - exactly. It’s sad that she feels so much anxiety over doing what she wants and what makes her happy because she’s worried what followers would think. You can tell it bothers her. I can’t imagine worrying so much what ppl say esp when I don’t them. It blows my mind. I guess thats what happens when you share your life so openly with strangers. They feel they get their shot to judge and shame too… I didn’t realize she had so many followers. That’s a huge job to amass so many followers over the years.
Honestly I'm very happy for you, if I can be sincere, these past 2 years I noticed that the look in your eyes wasn't as happy as before. You used to be more cheerful and I'm really happy that you are going to make your dream come true. Maybe we can see the cheerful and happy Seonkyoung again 😊
I thought I was the only one who noticed that too. lol
I love how passionately Jacob defends/supports you and your decisions. I have been enjoying watching the vlogs and wish the best for you both as you begin your journey traveling the world!
I never expected you to be 100% plant based, Seonkyeong. I’m not vegan by any meaning of the words. I think judging by your pinned comment, you’re technically still plant based. I eat mostly plant based (85% of the time) coz my body can’t tolerate much animal protein. I don’t bother to get plant based condiments as it tastes different and often hard to get where i live. When i travel i often eat stuff that’s visibly plant based but not the broth and condiments. I don’t care coz i don’t eat like that everyday. Please take good care of yourself and vegan or not we all can eat more veggies. I look forward to your travel vlogs. Please do advise us on what would you replace the animal protein in whatever food you eat. Thank you, Seonkyeong. Lots of love from Indonesia.
Thank you for this video, I was plant based as well and followed your videos, now we are on the same journey! I was healthier in my body from plant based eating but my mental health was declining a lot, it was very sad to see that people who were vegan didn't supported me and started having a very extreme mentality instead of telling me that's it's ok and that we should do what's best for our health! Seing a nutritionist really helped me set my mind straight🙏🏻
I love how honest you are about your process. Some people find a healthy routine and stick to it for their whole lives. Other people find that they feel best adapting their routine as the rhythms of their life change. You remind me of the coconut trees in your front yard, strong and fruitful, but also surprisingly flexible when the situation calls for it. We don't all have to live the same life or believe the exact same things. Blessings and peace to you and your family as you continue your beautiful journey.
3 years ago my husband and I quit our jobs, sold everything and started our online businesses. Everything from scratch just to start living as we wanted. Traveling the world as digital nomads. It has been the best decision of our lifes! We are from Spain, and so far, we have lived in Thailand, Malaysia and Philipines. Next stop is Mexico! It will be so nice to meet you both one day in any part of this beautiful planet! Btw, my husband knows Jacob already as he is also part of Alldayrunning 😉 Wish you all the best! And love all your videos and your positive energy! 🫰🏻😘
Wow!! How amazing!! Hopefully we get to meet somewhere!! Your hubby & Jacob can go run, and we can go out shopping! 😂👍🏼
Just here to say I'm a long time follower, and have cooked many of your recipes both vegan and non-vegan. I struggled with a similar decision a few years ago and I'm glad to see your courage in choosing what feels right for you. It's easy to say "f the haters", but words can be hurtful - and too many are disrespectful for no reason. Glad hear Jacob stand by you in this video, he makes a lot of great points. Can't wait to see what's next in your journey
Just be true to yourself we will love you for that. Do what makes you happy, true supporters won’t judge you at all. We love you
Good for you two!!! Ignore the haters and live the life you have been give. Life is short. 💗
YES!!! I agree with every word Jacob said, even the bleep bleep bleeps! like my grandma always said, "if you don't have anything nice to say, don't say anything at all." Seonkyoung, girl, be happy and do you, whatever that may be...I'll be watching and cheering you on.
Thank you 🥹❤️
Seonkyoung, I couldn’t agree more with what Jacob had to say when you decided to let your fans know that you were no longer going to be 100% plant based. It’s your life, you do you! Be happy!! I’m so excited for you two to travel the world and look forward to seeing your new vlogs❤Aloha!!🤙🏻🫰🏻
#couplegoals
I have been watching your videos since the very beginning of your channel. You both have given us so much of your lives thru your work. And I, for one, appreciate you both so very much. Thank you Jacob for your service. And Seonkyoung for sharing your life and culture with us through the smiles and the tears. Little do you know that sometimes God answered prayers through your work. And I will be forever grateful for ALL OF IT. So, whatever you do and wherever you go, I will follow you and live through your adventures. God bless you both, continue being true to yourselves, and don't ever feel trapped in the moment. I look forward to some new, non plant based recipes and adventures but whatever you both decide to do, AM HERE FOR IT. 💐🎈❤️🥰
I'm guilty of always focusing on the negative instead of the positive, even if there's a lot more positive. Hoping & praying we all can focus on the positive and kick the negative to the curb 🙏😇 Love this channel and all you do ❤
As a cat person/ kitten foster, I gotta ask... is there going to be stipulation for Bella when it comes to selling your home and land? I assume she's staying there?
I'd like to know about the cat too.
I was going to ask about Bella too.
I’m so worried about Bella. It sounds like she is being left behind but I hope some arrangements are made for someone to look after her 😢
@@snam124 Animals are for life
Bella will be in good hands, I can explain the details on the next vlog 😊👍🏼🐈⬛❤️
You have honestly helped me get through some hard times with intense anxiety and self doubt. Your humor, kindness, and sharing of your food has been a home away from home to me over the years. Despite not being plant based myself, I kept watching for YOU! Because YOU ARE AMAZING 🎉
Went through something similar to you when i went vegan and trust me, you never win no matter what you do so do what makes you feel happy and what feels right. ❤
So powerful!!
I appreciate that you’ve given so many great recipes for the plant-based and non plant-based diet! I’ve been following you since the pandemic and enjoyed learning how to cook delicious Korean food during that whole quarantine period. I too support whatever journey makes you guys happy ❤️
Seonkyoung I have been with you since your early days. And I really loved your asian at home recipes. I live in a country where vegan products are not easily available which you used to use your plant base recipes. I'm so happy that you will be sharing those again ❤
realest vlog ive seen in a longgg time. no one is this real anymore. you both are a beam of light in this social community! never stop being real so others dont have to be afraid to stand up if they think the same way. this recent culture of condemnation is the stupidest development of modern society. live life the way that makes you joyful Seonkyoung, that joy will do so much more for the world.
I adore you and admire your bravery. This is your journey on this planet. Make it a happy one for you.
Love you!! ❤️
What's going to happen to Bella when you guys leave and travel?
What will you guys do with Bella? I love her so much and know she will miss you
Please ask Bella with you. Cats really don’t survive well on the streets as people think. Pets are for life and are family members.
“After experiencing so much death and loss, you realize: nothing is that serious…
..Nothing is that serious. Just live a happy life.”
~ Seonkyoung Longest
THANK YOU for this reminder 💖💖💖
But.. adding more death to the plate… and the decline of our planet and future life for this planet we call home and peoples children call home.. the amount of death and loss to selfishly ignore just to have a convenient experience.
Just live happy.. while sentient beings suffer at the hands of those consuming them.. so much love huh. But let’s ignore the facts. Right.
Nothing is that serious … cuz the planet suffering and creatures suffering and depleting of soils/forests/ and all that.. that’s not serious. This mentality… is the problem with this world. Go have fun, to live your life and pretend like the negative impact you’re creating “isn’t that serious” 🙄
@@Spudley_ann If you are going to focus on the decline of our planet and future life, there are bigger issues (environmental and societal alike) to address than someone deciding to change their diet.
@@lovemaira7509 actually, what we eat is one of the BIIGGGEEESTTT reasons we are having the issues we do.. like A LOT…
i'm mostly pescetarian/vegetarian for 6 years now. when i travel, i eat meat sometimes when im with friends. i dont enjoy beef/pork/chicken anymore as i did way back then. and so i was happy and inspired when you became fully plantbased, but to each her own. i'll still follow you and support you! fightiiing! 💚💚💚
Thank you!
The only positive thing I can say is at least you didn't make up a health issue or blame it on a health issue, thereby throwing the animal rights movement under the bus, like a lot of ex-vegans tend to do rather than being honest and admitting that it's just a preference thing or a lack of desire to keep up the lifestyle. So in a way, I do respect that honesty and taking ownership of the problem.
She did say in this video that her mental health has not improved and doesn't know if she's happier being plant-based and it's a struggle. So at least part of this is decision is because being "plant-based" was detrimental to her (mental) health.
@@himasf Yes it can feel socially isolating sometimes if you don't have other vegans in your life, and this can test one's desire and moral convictions to maintain the lifestyle.
Just wanted to say we all are evolving and with that these chapters always come to an end. I don't understand why some people take it so personal when you decide to change YOUR lifestyle? Lol you do you and keep on evolving and slaying. Your talent is undeniable and the negative and hurtful remarks from strangers come from a personal space they have yet to address. Unfortunately it just seems easier to project their personal problems into someone who is doing good and living a happy life. Love your journey and the recipes have helped me expand my diet and palate ❤
❤️❤️❤️
Congratulations! Jacob is right eat whatever you feel like eating. Life is to short live it as best as you can. I wish all the best ❤❤❤❤😊
I've been with yall on this journey for literal years now and I just have to say, shoutout to Jacob for being such a supportive and loving husband through everything yall have done and gone through. I hope he reads this!
Dear SeokYoung, I have been watching your videos for years. You literally thought me how to make Asian food (that I love so much) at home. You did that in the most fun way with your sparkly personality. And I appreciate it very much. It’s crazy to me that we have to emphasized this and assure you but of course you can eat and live your life the way you want to. And I know that’s easily said and there are always people who judge others for their personal choices. Even when it’s food. But I hope you learn to tune those people out. Especially the ones who criticize only to be hateful. They are not worth your energy whatsoever. Most of us followed you because we like your personality and we love your food. That didn’t change for me when you went plant based. Although there was some adjusting as I’m not plant based. It certainly won’t change now because you decided to not go 100% plant based anymore. Life is so short, do what makes you happy, eat what makes you happy. Lots of love for you and Jacob from Europe.
I can see the genuine love, excitement, and joy in both of your faces! I love this new journey for you both and wish you the very very best!!
Hey Seonkyoung - I've been watching you for a long time during your Asian at Home series, but I kind of dropped off because although I try to eat a lot of veggies, I'm not all plant-based and found it hard to make those kind of recipes. I'm stoked that you and Jacob are going to travel the world and can't wait to follow along on your journey. I think it's important to remember that life is never taken in one straight line, but it's going to zig zag all over the place and as long as you can center yourself throughout the process, you're going to do fine. Good luck on your transition out of Maui and enjoy your traveling!
Eat what you want, travel the world and try all the delicacies the world has to offer. You go girl.
What matters is what feels right for Seonkyung. Moderation is the most important here, we only live once and life is too short to miss out on all the delicious food out there. Plant-based or not. For me, I'll go for a 90% carnivore-feeding frenzy without caring about what the Vegan cult fanatics think. Some of these Vegans are taking it too far by acting almost like some religious cult that shuns people who eat differently. I don't hate plant based consumers, I just hate any type of fanatism.
Seonkyoung, I have the same struggles as you. I balance that by eating plant-based at home and being forgiving while out. I was never a big meat eater, but I’ve always loved fish and seafood. It’s okay. Being honest with yourself = happiness. ❤ Wishing you and Jacob all the best. I’ll continue to tune in to watch your updates and cooking. 💖
So do the animals you eat get the same happiness?
What about Bella? Will you guys leaver her behind?
The most powerful part of this video was Jacob saying “listen to your body”!!! So so wise and powerful!
I’m glad you’re no longer solely plant based. I like everything in balance. Some plant some fish some meat. I think you’ll be much happier. Balance in food, balance in life!
My heart is happy seeing a change in you that has revived your soul
I’ve been following you since your Sacramento days. I plan to follow you through your next journey. Im so happy for you and Jacob!! Don’t worry about the haters. Do you, girl!! 💗
Your husband is so awesome and supportive. You gave plant base a try , just like we all try thing, but if it doesn’t work out it’s ok. If you don’t try you will never know if it’s for you or not. Just know you are awesome
I’ve been watching your content for years. It’s time to enjoy all your success and see the world.
Hi =) I started watching you when you were not plant-based, I was happy to see you becaming vegan, but I will definitely do not judge you for getting back not to be 100% plant based. I know how hard it sometimes can be. I am a medic and I do work at many events, vegan options are very rare in these events. And sometimes I just do not have time to prepare vegan food and I can´t leave to go for shopping. Last week, I worked at big event, 16 hours a day for 4 days. Last day I run of my own food, I was hungry and tired... So I had the vegetarian option they offered.
I wish you and Jacob all the best, I love your videos 💜
Jacob is 100% on the dot with what he was saying in the car! I can't imagine how stressful it must be to make literally any decision on social media without being judged or hated on. You're stronger than you think and way stronger and braver than anyone who leaves a hateful comment, because we all know they couldn't sit in the same seat as you. It's YOUR life, you do YOU! We are all supporting and rooting for the both of you and can't wait to see all the upcoming travel videos!!
I have been a huge fan of yours for soo long and was excited when you decided to go plant based. I too go back and forth between plant based and vegetarian and understand the struggles with eating when dining out and traveling, no judgement here! I am so excited to see where life takes you and look forward to new videos/vlogs. Jacob is so sweet and I loved his energy in this video. Love you guys!!!!!
I followed you for a long time and even with you went plant based I still made your recipes with some protein of course. But you also inspired me to go plant base intermittently and my body did feel good. Thanks for always welcoming us into your home. 😊
Aww, I’m so happy for you. I know I don’t know you personally but you’re my RUclips scorpio sister! I have been watching your channel for so many my years and sharing with everyone I know. I am inspired to make sure I capture all of the amazing memories of my own personal growth. Thank you for all you have shared and inspired me to do and try. I truly believe that you should do whatever makes you happy. Sending much love, blessings and light always 💕.
Every one needs a life partner like Jacob! You two are amazing & even though I myself am a vegetarian (for my personal health reasons) by no means do I expect everyone else to be. You will always have my support sweetie :)
Happy to hear that you are fulfilling your dreams and not taking other people’s (negative) opinions! ❤ Majority of us are cheering you on - that’s what goes around and comes around because you made us happy with your channel. Love you!
Seonkyoung! Thank you so much for sharing your life! I’ve watched your videos for years and I cook more Asian food than anything else! I’ve never been plant-based but I still watch your videos because you are such a kind person and you make me feel good! I’m proud of you for doing what’s best for you and your health and you are willing to make major life changes without being “audience captured”. Traveling the world will be so enriching and fulfilling you’ll be so happy with your life!! I can’t wait to watch your journey!!! Lots of love! 😍😍😍
I don’t care what is your life choices. I’m here to try your recipes. Thank you to share the recipes with us. ❤ lots of love and be happy!
THIS!!!!!!!!!!!!! It's ironic that both of us spent any time on this video but yeah... I was curious cuz I started seeing seafood and her recipes, I don't think I've watched a single new video since she went plant-based because I ain't about that. Seafood's back on the plate so I'm back for more recipes
I am glad will see you more cheerful, been following you for ages and wishing you both happiness, Saranghae, fighting!
Nado Saranghaeyo! 🫶🏼
I love the fact that Jacob supports her content creating #relationshipgoals
The only judgement I want to make is how happy I am for you and Jacob. I see a true partnership with the two of you, what a gift and a blessing. I always ask the question why were we made to eat meat and seafood if we shouldn't, makes no sense, it's really hard to eat 100% vegan, requires lots of condiments, sauces and so on to change it up. No matter Seonkyoung and Jacob, do what makes you happy. Hard to believe you are willing to give up your piece of paradise, but I know you will carry the memories and whenever you need a peaceful place to go, it will be right there in your beautiful head. Congratulations on your American passport, thought you already had one. Can't wait to hear what's next!
Yesssss!!!!!🎉🎉🎉 I am so ready for your adventures!! I love this vlog style with you and Jacob. Hair down, real life, spontaneous laughter, cussing like a sailor, and even Bella's snootiness. I❤IT!
I have been following you since Mississippi... and every reiteration, reinvention, growth... I have championed for you because you provide awesome recipes, relatable and engaging content, and a great personality. 🥂 Cheers! To growth and new adventures.
Wear that passport out!! STAMP! STAMP! STAMP!! 😅
So happy for you both! Run after your dreams! ❤
I’m excited for your new journey! It’s very brave to turn your life upside down to chase what you truly want. Many ppl are afraid of change and do nothing.
Do what makes you happy and healthy Seonkyoung! We support you!!
My heart was broken when I knew that u discontinued your plant based business. You and your husband are soon nice, u deserve to be recognized. Am so thankful for sharing your wonderful talent that God gave you. I was so happy that I met you and tasted your tasty plant based foods in Maui last March 2023. My daughter want to taste your food in Maui but she will be in Maui sometime this month.. she's so unlucky.. Whatever reasons, continue to be you in a humble ways. I wish you luck in all you do. God bless u and family. You are the best.
Now let’s have some beef videos
Ohhhh I love how Jacob is so passionate about this. He absolutely adores you and want nothing ever bad happened to you. I used to be vegan way back when it wasn't even a thing. It was hard. People judge , even my own family. Keep doing you. You know what's best for you for your body and your life. You don't need other people to give you a green ticket for you to live your life. For example, your diet. You can be keto or vegan or paleo, it's none of anyone's business. You do what makes you happy. If we are waiting around for people to give us a thumbs up of everything we do we will never be happy. Just remember it's your life w Jacob you all need to worry about x❤❤
Kudos to you, Jacob, for standing up for your wife. Haters are going to hate. Let them spew all the garbage they want. Seonkyoung, you've given people across the world so much, and continue to do so. You need to take care of yourself, physically and mentally. Same for Jacob. One thing I've learned in my travels: the first people to point out your faults are the last to admit to their own.
I personally enjoy the garlic noodle recipe you showed a while ago and tweaked it a bit for my own tastes. It's great with or without whatever meat you want to add. So you both keep supporting each other through thick and thin. And keep a sense of humor. My wife and I just marked 30 years married, and we agree that keeping a sense of humor makes it easier to support each other. Whenever haters make stupid comments, just consider the source, laugh it off, and move forward.
What’s going to happen to Bella now 😢❤ but I support everything your doing! Go and live your dreams ❤
There's nothing wrong with trying something and not loving it 100%. Include parts you enjoyed in your life and do you.
Haters are always going to hate. Ignore them, they mean nothing. =) Excited to see your world travel vlogs! :D
We love you Seonkyoung❤ your mental health is just as important ! Hateful comments have no place in this community ❤
Thank you for being so honest. I also stopped being fully plant-based after 8 years due to very similar reasons, and mentally I just couldn’t do it anymore. I didn’t want a restricted diet to be another thing on my mind constantly, on top of everything else. I hope you don’t let the negative reactions get in the way of doing what’s best for you! ♥️
Hi Seonkyoung, I’ve been watching your videos for years. What you choose to eat is your business, whether 100% plant based or not. Best wishes for your new journey!
You are a wonderful ❤️ person, please live your life 🙏. Whoever saying bad things about you, they're not happy with themselves, you are a very smart person. Take the negative energy a way from.
I relate to your experience eating plant based and I wish the best for you! I was plant based for 5 years, and I found it caused me a lot of stress trying to follow a “perfect” way of eating. In reality, it’s hard in social situations, and I really, truly missed eating eggs and fish. Reading the ingredients on every bottle, asking at every restaurant to confirm ingredients, it felt like too much stress in my life. So now I eat plant based 90% of the time, but I don’t worry about it. When I want to eat eggs or fish I do because my mental health matters, and I am not holding myself responsible to be perfect all the time 😊 Eat what you want and what makes you feel good! It’s been a pleasure to follow your journey for many years now, and it’s inspiring to see you continually making changes to live your life to the fullest 🎉
Your experience sounds identical to mine!! So relieved that I'm not alone. Thank you for sharing!
I have been watching you guys for years because I LOVE Asian food! I have been vegan for many years before you guys we t plant-based and respected yall then and I respect yall even more now, because of your honesty. I'll just take your recipes and make the recipes and make them vegan. ❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤ love you guys and stay awesome!!!!
Quite honestly I am disappointed mostly because I still remember your video about why you chose to be plant-based very vividly and it truly made me look at my own food choices and rethink them, to the point I have eliminated meat out of my diet almost entirely. Of course it feels hypocritical to say this while also admitting that I have not yet been able to quit some foods but I do wonder if you no longer feel the same way about the pain animals go through? In your video it seemed that you chose to be plant-based for ethical reasons more than for health-reasons, so now saying "well I feel healthier but I am inconvenienced" it makes it look like it was not about ethical reasons at all.
That's because she has this weird thing she does, where every couple years she comes up with a reason to have a crisis, or a huge personal thing.... it's a way to get attention and stay relevant, while pretending to be sweet with her Facade. She's talented, but its overshadowed by her inability to be truly happy without drama, contradictions, and hypocrisy. She's always seeking something to get attention for, And each theme or topic only ever lasts a couple years... it's her pattern, and she hates to be called out on it. Lol.
I just want to say, I absolutely love you and your journey! I believe what makes you happy, makes your spirit, mind, body happy! Wishing you and Jacob the very best in your travels! I love your honesty, and you! Just you, for who you are, for how you are! I just love it! Been following you for the past 3 years! You give me joy every time you make a video! I hope you continue to make you happy! We only have 1 life, so enjoy, be happy!
So exciting, indeed! Traveling the world is a lot of people's dream, and you should do whatever you need to enjoy it as much as possible!
I think it’s really admirable for you to go 100% plant based for so long. You wanted to give it a try for your reasons. And you are allowed to change your mind! And with the pandemic the last 2 years I know it’s really changed a lot of people’s perspectives. Life is too short. Many have lost their lives during this pandemic not to mention how much it’s impacted our society in general.
Wishing you all the best and safe travels! I hope this inspires you to create and share recipes from all the amazing food you’ll eat!
Will Bella be traveling as well? 😄
Hello from the 🇵🇭! Jacob is the sweetest and most supportive hubby! And I agree with him. Haters gonna hate. No judgment here, live the life you're dreaming of! Life is short. Excited for your new journey. 🥰
This makes me so happy! You have been the person since your very beginning videos that taught me how to cook Asian food. Thank you for those years and for being YOU through the years! I went plant based for a while for my health in my inflammation issues, but I didn’t stay there. I just choose to eat organic meats when I do now that also keep me from having the hormonal issues that some meats were causing. LIVE YOUR LIFE IN JOY GIRLIE! 🎉
I love how passionate Jacob got lol and I for one, don't judge you at all!!
Yes, it is a travesty what animals get put through in order for us to eat them but I don't think that us who eat meat are automatically okay with the way these companies treat animals.
I just truly believe that this world will slowly but surely get to, and is already on its way to, a big change because of new generations changing things on a bigger scale.
Anyway, you do what makes you happy, girl!! That's what life is about!!❤
It is you meat eaters who pay for animal abuse.
I think your time spent being plant based has contributed to wonderful recipes! Which helps others who are looking for good food!
If this change is able to help you maintain a predominantly plant based diet this is great. I won't touch on the ethics of it all but what you guys are doing being predominantly plant based is what we all should be doing. If this means you'll be able to sustain a diet that is better for the planet then that is wonderful.
I hope all the animals that you cared for will be taken care of as you guys have. Loved and cherished. I wish you well on your future travels and adventures!
As a long time follower, im so proud🥹. You and Jacob are so lucky to have one another💜🙏🏼
What will happen to Bella?
Love you guys! What will happen to Bella? Also do you still have doggies? Looking forward to new adventures and frankly glad you aren’t 100% plant based…tough on mental health. Just need to know all doggos and kitties will be ok.
🌺 Mahalo for being honest! 😉 Did notice you guys had shrimp chips in the last video... I understand if this isn't for you guys 100%. I will still check in often but I hope you understand that I unsubscribe. 😔 I'm very sad though that 🐾 Bella kitty and the pigs, ducks will lose you since you're leaving the islands and hope their next owners will be as kind. Have a happy and safe journey wherever you're going!
My only concern is about bella, your dogs and the other animals around your house. What will happen to them?
Well I’m excited for the new journey! I Hope you take us with you!
You have the BEST HUSBAND EVER. He's handsome, kind, thoughtful and he loves you. What a lucky woman you are and he's lucky to have you...getting to eat all your delicious food. There is nothing better. Match made in heaven. I love watching you both and I've followed your blog for years. LOVE IT. Just ignore the haters. If you have a hater-filter, leave it on. And just ENJOY LIFE.
Seonkyoung , I've been following you for serval years now. I never dropped your sub even when you went vegan. I am so happy for you and Jacob to do what YOU guys want. Just please be careful when you are traveling. I am looking forward to watching future videos.
Being true to yourself, living up to your dreams and be happy with your decisions is what journey of life is all about. Enjoy your travels, I work in the travel industry, there is so much to see and explore ❤️
you have such a tender and kind soul Seonkyoung. I am encouraged by seeing you be true to yourself! 🤙🏽 aloha from Oahu 🌺
Even the smallest change can make a difference ❤😊 You have already made a difference in my life to change how I eat, and possibly others! Maybe someday you will be plant based again, or maybe not, and that's ok! ❤😊😊
It's a real shame that they have framed any potential discourse about veganism as being judgmental, trolling, mockery, attention-seeking etc. There should be space for people who want to stand up against animal abuse without being labeled these things preemptively. There is a way to discuss these things in a civil way that does not undermine the other side's message of compassion.
I think you are brave! ❤you say how you feel in spite of other people’s comments. You tried something and decided later it wasn’t for you. It’s not about saying you couldn’t do it, it is about saying you tried it. That is BRAVE! Good for you for following your dreams and your heart!
We all have just one life. Do what makes YOU happy. Create your own future. Travel the world! 👍
