I can’t believe it’s already been 15 years. I thought I’d make this video to help new vegans and maybe people who are considering becoming vegan. How would a life like that be and how would it affect you, like your body and your everyday life? So let’s have a look how 15 years as a vegan has changed me.

how long have you been vegan?
or are you a vegetarian, or an omnivore?
let me know.
it´s been 7 years of a plantbased life style for me🥬 and you were one of the first vegan youtubers I started following in those early days, you guys were living in Berlin -I remember-
11 år som vegan i år, 28 år som vegetarian före det. Vill gärna se en receptvideo med congee 😊
Can you please make quick videos on vegan recipes (that r filling)? I always get so hungry when I'm on plant based diet. Some said me just to stuff myself with carbs, coz there is no other option!
💚7 years vegan 💚
Rather interesting to see other more veteran vegans in the comment section!
Congratulations for being vegan for 15,5 years! It's so nice, seeing a youtuber that stayed vegan and is actually concerned about animal rights. I am vegan since 11 years too. 😘
Me too , over 10 years now and so happy with it. I connected even more in a natural way with nature and animals, it’s a beautiful experience 💚💚
@@m.m8555 And the chmicals added kills their kids
Just getting started 🍃
@@m.m8555 thats bs
@@Mwilke3789 i wouldn't say its the opposite. humans aren't carnivores, we're omnivores.
this was so great! I identified with everything you said. The difference is that I just turned Vegan at age 72. 5 months ago. I really bought into the protein myth prior to this. I have never felt better. My health problems are disappearing. I feel stronger. And yes more spiritually and morally aligned with who I really am. This is the first video of yours I have watched. I loved seeing the food you had laid out.
Your such an inspiration!❤ I love to see people who never stop mentally growing and try new ways or chance their mind if it no longer fits to them😍
I became vegan six years ago at 60 years old. I have never felt better!
So lovely to read this! Made my day 😊
❤
Ironically it’s calcium and iron and other random things people tend not to think of that tend to be low. What are you a body builder or elite athlete trying to lose fat and build muscle at the same time aiming to get 2 gram of protein per kilogram of body mass? Easier as a vegetarian.
I've been Vegetarian for 11 years, now vegan for 4.
The only thing I miss about being not vegan is the convenience.
I live in rural Germany, so there are no cool vegan restaurants around - I'm lucky if the salad doesn't come with bacon cubes.
I miss being able to just go in the bakery and pick up a pastry.
But I never actually miss meat or dairy.
So traurig! Ich lebe in Lübeck und hier ist es ganz anders :( überall veganes Gebäck, Hafermilch und Alternativen 🌿🥹🫶🏼
If you live in Berlin it'd be very easy for you because they're so many vegan restaurants or dishes on menu here.
@Cat Riot If I lived in Berlin id be lucky to have some money left after paying for the ridiculous rent and gas prices
@@sophialeejhonson Well, it depends on where do you compare the rent, just trying to share infos no need to be sarcastic
I can relate to that, although I am living in a big city. But because of an allergy to soy (and some more) my options are pretty limited already, and even more when trying to find something vegan or at least vegetarian when I am not at home.
Vegan 9 years, vegetarian 2 years prior. All of us together have made a huge difference in the world. ❤
I so loved your cooking and food videos back when you did them! I miss them and was sad when you took them down off of your platforms. I vote for bringing them all back!!!!!
I would support that totally - I loved Jennies recipes so so much 🙏🏻🥰❤
Yes please! I bought your recipe book in Swedish, I loved the food so much.
Yes please for reposting AND new ones 🙌👏🏻💐🌱💚✅🇬🇧
I'm also 15 years vegan + 10 years vegetarian prior to that.
1. The health benefits came from discovering various allergies and issues.
2. The being cheerful part came from learning how to deal with life, nothing to do with veganism.
3. Being non-aggressive... That's my entire life, I can certainly be angry at stuff though.
4. I have nothing to miss prior to being vegan, that stuff ain't for me in any way.
Veganism affects everyone differently, and not allot of people actually stick to it, only those that it fits them.
I actually hardly ever talk to other vegans, I got very little in common with them.
I'm a wacko animator, I have very little in common with most people xD
I went vegan as a freshman in high school in 2015. The end of March was my 8th year vegan anniversary! I was 14 back then and I'll be 23 next month so my family has realized that it's definitely not a phase. 😂
I went vegan when I was 19, and about 2 weeks into it my mom said "it's just a fad". Now it's been 6.5 years and my family also sees it as just my way of life.
Ommmfg exacly just like me, in 2015 in high school 🥲🥲
whoa I’m a freshman right now who just went vegan. (15) though
@@flowerpot3787 congratulation, you have much easier this days! so enjoy 💜
@@v.a.n.e. I'm sorry to break it to you my friend, but I will never quit being vegan. The good news is that no one is forcing you to make the same "mistakes" as me. 😂 Though I hardly think not killing animals and having decent cholesterol is a mistake. Take care. ✌🏻
fangirl request to jenny
pleeeease bring old recipe videos back !🤩✨🫶🏼
who is with me ?
much love
caro xx
who else is with me ? 😉
I miss them. They were so relaxing to watch.
🫶🏼
i would really love to see her version of congee
I’ve been vegan for 9 years, and the only negative I have is to do with going home, but not because I miss eating the food. Because it hurts to see the people I love still participating in cruelty. I can’t get my head around it :(
I was pescaterian since the age of 11 and gradually became vegetarian. Nowadays my diet is approx. 70% vegan. Whenever I have a cheese and dairy period, which is usually around the big holidays, I get all bloated, soggy and tired and my skin breaks out. So I quickly go back to my colorful vegan meals that are so energizing and full of flavor. When I eat mostly plan based my body is flexible, light, full of energy and my skin is clear and bright. Oh and I sleep better.
We'd love to see a video of your vegan recipes. Question though... have you ever used Next Level Diet? I got a custom high-protein meal plan from them and it's really working for me.
I’ve been vegetarian/vegan for 30 years. During that time tried raw and vegan keto but always go back to the staples which you mentioned. The congee you make is similar to the khichari I make. Looking forward to reading your book!
i'm eating plant based since january 2020 and i can't imaging going back to eating animal products, however i do still struggle sometimes with clothing items especially shoes
Hello from Brazil!
I have been vegan for almost 4 years. I feel the same as you, I've never missed meat or cheese, I feel more connected with my body and have more energy. I'm not as aggressive as I used to be, PMS is over and I feel like I am a less cynical person.
It's been about 15+ years for me as well and still consider it the best thing I've ever done. Thanks for a great video :)
Would love some recipe/food vids from you Jenny! Been vegetarian now for 6-7years and could use some inspo and tips to make healthy, budget friendly food ❤ thank you again
love it! "15 years in and still waiting for the protein deficiency!" you said it girl!
I first started following you when you were primarily a food blog, and I so miss your recipes! I still use some of those recipes like apple turmeric porridge and no-bake choco banana slices. You are so talented with recipe development, I would buy your cookbook any day!
oh!!! this is the sweetest, thank you for sticking around all these years! ❤️❤️❤️
Vegan for the animals 💚 just over 4 years now. I feel like I’m living in a different decade than you though because where I live I don’t even know another vegan irl. So grateful to have stopped harming animals though. Mostly wfpb too 🌱✌🏻
💚💚💚
Congratulations!! And it gives me goosebumps as you talk about not disconnecting your sweet naive, vulnerable, caring, soft inner ( maybe child ) selfs. It s really an aspect which goes so deep and goes beyond morals towards joy, selfceare and wholeness of life-very encouraging!!
Same! I loved that part so much. I always say that going vegan helped me align what's on my plate with what is in my heart. It just makes sense to me to eat and live this way, and I loved hearing you describe that aspect of veganism ❤ Sending love to all my fellow vegan lover-girls/people out there 🥰✨
@@NikkiVegan :)
This is such an inspiring video - your effortless positivity and clarity of purpose is invigorating! I echo others in the comments in the desire for a cookbook. Even something very small, and very simple. Maybe base recipes like congee with seasonal variations you enjoy. Maybe part memoir around your experiences/relationship with food, vegan culture, natural world appreciation. Maybe a collaboration with your favorite illustrator... Or maybe, a character could write a cookbook/memoir... I vote yes on more foodie/lifestyle content :)
I’m so glad you joked about the protein deficiency! I get all my protein from beans and lentils, broccoli etc. Everyone says “Where do you get your protein? Ad infinitum. I simply don’t answer anymore!
I'm vegan from 13 years, still happy about my choice, but it's harder for me because of IBS, so I discovered 5/6 years ago that I need to avoid a lot of types of veggies, fruits and legumes to stay symptoms free. I decided to stay vegan if it was manageable for my body and mind and it works. I don't have any other issues and following my diet helps a lot with the IBS symptoms.
Can you list what veggies, fruits and legumes you stay away from to be symptom free? Or share how you found what foods to avoid?
@@unsoundmedia I followed the Low Fodmap protocol. The list is long and it varies from person to person according to the personal sensitivity. There are also foods that are good when conserved, but not fresh (like legumes and also here I tollerate them, but they are not recommend in the quantity I eat them).
You should read FIBER FUELED!
IBS here too, and I've had a really hard time getting from vegetarian to vegan. I've done low FODMAP resets a few times, but I'm still working at it with the help of a dietician. Anyway, this comment is helping me be optimistic, so thanks!
@@l6318 sadly we are all different. I hope you'll find your way through 😊
A video of your vegan recipes would be great 😊
Fellow vegan here, this is such an interesting video, I love it!! 😍
In my case, after going vegan I started to become REALLY interested in wildlife and animal welfare so that I decided to sort of start a whole new path in life. Even though I had already finished uni, I started studying biology and researching alternatives to animal testing ... and I'm now living together with a bunch of former lab rats because I try to help getting them out of the labs as often as I can. 😂 5 years ago I thought I'd spend my life working abroad as a translator, living in big cities and travelling all the time - now I'm doing the opposite and couldn't be any happier. 😅
Wow how nice to read that, great path. Similar here, this is incredible I think how we change. 😁😁💚 I became a wild herbs expert, fermentista, wrote 2 vegan books, startet 2 gardens and am so much more sensitive to the nature. I love this development 😍
I absolutely love this video. I'm wondering if, in the future a vegan cookbook would be coming? I know you had one published before but not in English. ❤
We’ve also been vegan 15 years and I’ve been thinking about making a video about it too, then your vid comes up for me! Very cool, thanks so much for sharing 😊❤️
Enjoyed your video! I have been vegan for 16 years this June. And started very much the way you did. One thing I noticed several years later was that right around that time there was a shift in my spirituality and I found that certain gifts I had, as a child, began to come back in full force. It has been amazing ever since, and I agree with everything you had to say I think we’ve all had to find our way and thank heavens it’s been easier these days.
Congrats for the 15+ anniversary !
I have always like your food blogs and videos. Thank you!
Really enjoyed this. I have been journeying back to vegetarianism after having some devastating digestive issues (gut infection, that eliminated so many food groups including all beans). Thankfully that's been sorted!! Love the idea of congee Can't wait to make this tonight. Sounds Satiating, simple and easy on my tummy.
Congratulations, again, on the upcoming release of your new book. Will OKAY DAYS be released in the US soon. All the best to you, Jenny and David, and to those you love.
Jenny, I'd love your Congee recipe if you have it written down! I didn't see it in the description, but the way you make it looks absolutely delicious.
Nice video, congratulations on 15 years and counting! I have just hit 7 years, my son and husband too, feeling great 😊
Just found your channel! ❤ New sub! I was vegan for 6.5 years, vegetarian 4yrs now but been having a bunch of digestive issues for months! I think I need to go back. Your meals look so nice and simple! Have you made any meal vids or what I eat in a day vids? Would love to see! 😊
positive surprises for me:
i almost never get sick in the winter anymore.
i almost never feel tired after a big meal.
my family supports cooking vegan although they don't want to make the switch themselves.
negative surprises:
meat eaters and vegetarians often want to talk about or educate me on veganism or "fake meat" (in an annoying way) or feel attacked when i just want to eat.
eating out when traveling can be a challenge.
Jenny, you are one of the RUclips godmothers who showed me how to be vegan over four years ago when I decided that was how I wanted to live. Your potato salad with strawberries recipe is still a favorite, though I'll admit I usually leave out the eggplant. 😊
Loved your video. This is the first time I’ve seen you, I’ve missed too much of your life! I’ve been vegetarian since 1994, and vegan since the year 2000. There is a HUGE difference in what food is available now. Back when I started vegan, it was really only beans and tofu. As far as dating a non-vegan, I don’t base my attraction on another person on what they eat/don’t eat. I live with a pescatarian/chicken/turkey eater. Yes, it smells up my kitchen when he cooks these foods, and I insist all fish cooking is done on the grill outside. But he’s a fabulous, loving, caring man, that it’s a non-issue otherwise. I give him the food I cook from scratch, which he loves. He’s mentioned many times that he could easily go vegan, if I cooked like this every night. Some nights I just want a potato, so it’s not every day that I will make a big meal. I will make a soup and have that same soup for the rest of the week for my dinner. I also have a gentle, caring side to me, that probably didn’t happen until much later in my vegan life. I also can’t imagine ever eating meat, or why I even liked it back in my youth. If I have a social function to attend, I will eat my own food beforehand, because I’d rather just be around interesting people, than worry about what I’m going to eat. If it’s only a few hours, I can do without the food anyway.
I just discovered you and loved this video. I have been vegan for about 11 years and have never heard of congee! I cannot wait to make it this weekend! Thank you for sharing your experiences and congrats on your success of being vegan. I love "planthead", your comment about "protein deficiency" and your necklace 😊
Going on 13 years vegan and I loved hearing your celebration of being plant-based!!! Yayyy! So much to celebrate. 🎉
thank you jenny! ive been veggie for about 5 years now, im still trying to get over my omelette addiction and then i am ready to start a new chapter in the vegan world~ but this definitely inspired me😍
💚The point you made about feeling like it makes you a sweeter person is true, when shifting into a Vegan diet/lifestyle I feel my anger and stress levels go down and my patience go up- to put it logically, but it's on such a deeper level.
Such a great video!! So much of what has been said in this video aligns with my experience of being a vegan!! Congrats on those 15 and a half years!!
I was vegetarian for 5 years and vegan now for the last 10. Going plant based had a positive impact on my health.
i’ve always had trouble with iron-deficiency so everyone around me was concerned about me going vegan almost seven years ago now, but actually my blood work results were so much better already only a year in than they ever were before!! you mentioning the lack of protein ppl always mention immediately made me think of that
Love it! I agree totally ! 7 years vegan, the best I have ever done for me, my health, the animal welfare and the Earth !🌱💚
I’m going on 10 years meat free, 6 vegan. I like your mention of decision fatigue! I’ve always said the worst thing to me about being vegan is the lack of convenience and variety…however, there’s honestly enough! Even when I’m out with my omni friends, I always get by. I’m going to try my best to turn that negative view into a positive one, thank you.
I do admire your dedication to a healthier lifestyle. My daughter has been a pescatarian for years and my son has joined her in his eating habits too. I have a lot of food sensitivities such as eggs, wheat, lactose and sesames and also tree nut and peanut allergies. Eating out with my daughter at a vegan restaurant required a complete clean before they could make my pizza☹️. I can’t see a way to living a vegan lifestyle with such an emphasis on nuts. Love your content. And I enjoyed your first book😊
great to hear your story Jenny ❤
Plant Based News 🤟
Do you have the recipe for your congee? It sounds so good! ❤ I used to be vegan for three years, but my B12 vitamin level were a real struggle as well as the many allergies I have (soy, lectins, corn, gluten). Now I still eat lots of plants and definitely no dairy (love vegan nut cheeses!), but have the occasional organic fish, chicken and eggs. And I feel great in my body ❤
Im at year 9.5! 10 in October. It truly is exactly like you mentioned. Please do more vegan videos. I love that you stick to whole foods and i'd love recipes. I don't know if you removed your older videos but i vaguely remember seeing your vegan food videos from years ago.
Me and my 2 youngest children are plant based. My eldest son recently said he was going fully plant based. I had told him he could eat whatever he wanted as long as he paid for it himself. So fast food and what not. My husband is pesceterian but rarely eats seafood and only outside the home since our kids are allergic to it.
I love thud Jenny , I have been vegan, occasionally vegetarian for over 10 years now and I can totally agree with you. I feel so good, never been healthier, even more sensitive to animals and nature than before. I feel in Peace with myself, connected to nature, it’s been the best decision ever. So
Many people go away from Vegan so it’s so nice to see your video and hears you thoughts and experiences ❤️
I love your videos! Thanks for the hard work creating! I've been vegan for 2.5 years and the main downside is travel. When I get somewhere it's usually on, but flights are hard so I pack my own food. I am a healthy vegan, so I'm not interested in a fake burger or fried junk, so dining out can be hard but I can make it work. I'll NEVER go back!
I would LOVE to see videos of your recipes, love your channel! 😊
I am positive surprised! I have been watching your videos for such a long time, but was not aware that you are vegan. It would be great, if you could create more videos about veganism. I have been vegan for exactly 8 years now and there is no way I could eat animals again. I totally agree with what you experienced, but on negative experiences I am still struggling sometimes when travelling with non-vegans and asking their patience when trying to find a restaurant with vegan options.
Would love more foodie and lifestyle content, Jenny 😊💛
Yes! I would love to see a simple meals. I hadn’t thought of veganism to combat decision fatigue. Love this!
We just posted a Vegan Vlog with lots of food from Amsterdam! 💞 &Always love Jenny's content!
this video was such a pleasant surprise. i think in this time, it gets so hard being a vegan when so many youtubers and outside influences insist that it’s not possible or sustainable. i keep reminding myself that it is, and it is not a sacrifice especially considering the lives it is saving! 💗💗 you’re right in saying that it relieves you from being cynical. it also eases my heart when i remember what humans are capable of this kindness
I find this very interesting, I use YT a lot for my recipes and the algorithm always suggests plant based creators, so much so that I have the exact opposite feeling i.e., that everyone is going plant-based right now and this is amazing! :)
V interesting Jenny. I’m intrigued by the congee, do u have a recipe?
Such a nice summary ❤ Vegan for 10 years, also sometimes shocked to see what others eat!
I just celebrated my 6th veganniversary this past Earth Day! Best thing I’ve ever did. Wish that I’ve gone vegan sooner. You were one of the first vegans I used to keep up with :) thank you for continuing to have compassion! ❤
Congrats!
Jenny, this was wonderful. Thanks for the reminder on how much has changed since my own changes in diet (vegetarian, no sugar). It's a collective and that is always inspiring. Just as you are! And love the reminder to connect to my sweet, optimist girlie! Wonderful!
Congratulations! And thanks for sharing - very inspiring! ❤
Great video. Just starting out :) Do you have the recipe for the congee? It looks delicious!
I love this video. I was vegan for three years but my diet was altered by food restrictions due to an autoimmune disease. I still believe in my heart that it is the healthiest way to be and still eat plant-based a lot but am not exclusively so. It's complicated and I won't bore you with it, but just know that your message is warmly received. And I want to thank you for the light-bulb moment I had when you talked about simplifying your diet so that your meal planning / buying / prep is a no-brainer. Yesterday it took me forever to plan out the next couple days of meals, and it all felt so absurd. Thanks to you, I am putting together a list of our favorite healthy easy meals we can eat on repeat so that I can stop this madness!
I am super excited to order your book. I remember a while back when you shared a small writing sample for us to read, and it really stayed with me. It's not easy to be memorable in such a heavily saturated book market. You clearly have a gift, and I can't wait to read more of your work!
Would love that congee recipe!
I would love some videos on your recipes!
When I went vegan 🌱 7 years ago you were one of the first RUclipsrs I found and you had so many videos about recipes, I still make your fresh pasta one. I’m so happy you are still around. I love your content ♥️. This has been one of the best lifestyle decisions I’ve made.
I've been a vegetarian since I was 14 and I remember the sorts of questions I used to get but now I know TONS of vegans and vegetarians and it's just so nice not to be alone anymore! I'm also a foster parent and our kid is lactose-intolerant - no problem when you already buy plant-based milks ;). It IS a bit odd raising a child who eats meat while I don't but I've never even been remotely tempted to eat anything he's having. I also agree with the decision fatigue, it's just so much easier to make decisions when you have a rule that lines up with your ethics.
Vegan almost 6 years now, thanks for the video! I also have increased energy levels. One thing I didn’t expect is to sleep better. I get some of the best sleep ever now. Also I agree, I could never date a nonvegan, or they’d have to be at least willing to go vegan if we are in a serious relationship. I realize that limits my dating pool but it’s okay lol
Thank you for sharing! We have been mostly vegan for 3 years and love it, and we
congee! Would you mind sharing your congee recipe? Thank you!
Have you considered making a cook book? I would absolutely buy it 🥰🥰
We need Okay Days in the US! I tried to pre-order, but my local shop couldn't get it.
Vegan for the animals. Life can be hard when your social circle doesn't /hasn't explored the horrors that the animals are going through. But, always remember that change will never happen if we continue to be observers. Only by taking action, will change ever dare occur. I hope you all have a wonderful day today 💚
Would you give us your congee recipe? (Cook time, etc.) :)
do you remember where were this beautiful bowl is from 9:23 and the spoon? And what spices do you use for the dish? a veggie broth? to soak the rice and lentils ?
Beautiful video - Thank you !
Could you make a recipe video? The food looks sooo good 😊
Such a wholesome video! I feel the same way about the 'sweet' side of oneself you mentioned. The way I see it is I like to live the way I'd like the world to be. So it's not much but it's honest work :) I've been vegan over 6 years now.
Interesting video! For me, it would be interesting to know if you take supplements, like iron?
carnivore here - couldn't imagine life without meat but happy it works for you
Love love love this video! I've been following you for quite some time now but I didn't realise you were vegan! Love it! Love the aesthetics of this video too and you and David of course. 5 years vegan. 4 week raw vegan sos. loving it.
i'm into year 3. I've always loved all the vegan foods like tofu, tempeh, beans, veggies, fruit, etc. so the switch was really easy for me. I feel "nicer" too LOL
Can you make a full recipe video of congee? (with spices and sauces you use)?
Vegan curious and intolerant to dairy… I’m thinking of going all in bc I rarely eat meat anyway. Thanks as always for the fantastic insights ❤
Im a year a half vegan. Agree with all your reasons. I feel like my food options are soooo much better when I cook. So colorful now!
Miss your cooking videos!!! Can you please teach us how to make congee???
Thanks for the congee recommendation. Cooking the lentils together with the rice sounds great. I'll come back to this video before I try it out.
Hey, I cannot imagine dating a non-vegetarian either. Thanks for bringing that up.
really really wonderful aesthetics, you have so much talent
I'd love to try some of your recepies! I'd also like to know do you crave sweet things and if so what sweet treats do you eat? x
I want to try congee, I am a voracious eater and it might help to keep hunger at bay. Can't wait for the book to be released!! 🎉
The point about dating a non-vegan is so true! I turned vegan midway through my 6 year relationship and to this day it is the thing we argue about the most. Him being a dedicated meat eater and me cooking only vegan, I find myself hoping every day that he would stop eating meat - or at least in our home. But I know that it’s not fair to him either to push my food choices onto him.
Should we ever break up I’m 100% going for a fellow plant eater😅.
Well being a carnist is more than just a personal preference because living sentient beings have to be murdered against their will for it. Going vegan isn't that difficult these days. If your partner can't even change his diet for you then I wouldn't put all your faith in that relationship.
I went vegan 5 years into our relationship... He went vegan 2 weeks later. Not even because of me. He had a coworker who kept bugging him about it. I did too lol but had always been interested in being a vegetarian (told I would be emaciated by family if I did, so I didn't). Now here we are 6 years later lol and his parents are trying to do keto and I'm like plz nooooooo. Oh well. I hope you guys find some meals that can be prepared vegan and "just add meat" at the end... =/
Take your life into your hands, insted of waiting for him to make the decision ;) maybe ask for a pause, and see if he is willing to change for you. However, I believe that certain diets are not for everyone, our bodies are different.
Thank you
you're right it wouldn't be fair. you're one of the few reasonable ones
Thanks for this video. I will look into your book. I have been a vegan for 12 years. I lost 50 lbs and my arthritis stopped bothering me. My son is a vegan and his ulcerative colitis disappeared. I found it so interesting what you said about partnering with only a vegan but I'm an older vegan and finding someone my age who is a vegan is so hard.
I've been for nearly nine years now and I agree pretty much on every single point you made :)
And I recently moved to a big city as well and am so thankful for all of the awesome vegan food here!
Thank you - would love more food related and what you eat in a day videos 💕😄
I have eaten whole food, plant based for 11 or 12 years. I was surprised at how clean my insides feel compared to before. Not sure how to describe it other than clean. I’ll be 72 next month. Never too late.
it might seem easy to find another vegan but trust me there is no other David and it would be impossible to even find anyone close to him......these days a person with integrity that you also get along with who is not a drug addict or just a jerk is pretty rare like extremely rare so def keep David. lol
Thank you for this video!
So inspiring🌸saving the planet and our bodies each day🌿I love how you shared your opinion without hating on people with other diets! Vegan food is so yum esp dishes you can easily make vegan ex bolognese with soy pieces and veggies🤍ps. the controversy with soy is insane!!! It’s amazing especially for women~~
