I am not sure if anyone has mentioned this but with the amount of plastic in the ocean, people who eat fish, ingest that plastic. In the UK, last year the average person who consumed fish regularly ingested 11,000 tiny pieces of plastic... That is something that I never even thought about before going vegan. Sushi used to be my favorite food and it still is, its just veggie sushi now which is honestly so much better.
I find it interesting how humans make all animals "other" (insisting that pets don't have emotions like humans, or that animals don't feel pain like humans) in order to get rid of the cognitive dissonance that comes with killing them or experimenting on them. Those beliefs are so deeply ingrained it can take a very long time to break out of that way of thinking.
@@Unknown_Meliodas pretty sure cows are vegan, but the problem is yes even though animals eat other animals so u can to. why don’t u eat a dog then? when a person sees someone eating a cat for example they are disgusted yet they go home to eat a nice piece of steak. Remember the Vsco trend? People used metal straws for turtles yet there’s millions of other animals and fish dying.
@@inhalesbleach3071 I don’t eat dogs because in my religion we aren’t allowed to eat anything that eats other animals including cats we can eat everything in the sea though
You ladies are so well spoken and educated! I really love this channel because I do not have real life vegan friends. My vegan views feel very reaffirmed listening to you all. (the hardest thing about being vegan is going against social norms, so much of our culture is centered around food!)
As a marine biology student, I was smiling throughout this whole video. It is SO important to stop consuming fish for the health of our planet. If we don't have the oceans, we have nothing!
I know I'm late to the video but I can't agree more, even as an outdoorsman and fisherman, the mass culling of sooooooo many species of fish disgusts me. There are so many sustainable options but people CHOOSE to keep fishing and hunting these animals into oblivion. We've lost the connection to the earth that our ancestors had. 99% of western society never considers the impact a hamburger has or the fish at the supermarket have. Truly sad.
@@kellisuzuki8889 if you feel guilt, then it’s a good sign. It’s your conscience telling you that don’t really want to cause suffering to other sentient beings. So you should act on what your conscience tells you, and avoid eating the fish and other animal products.
I don't eat fish anymore, because I used to have a pet fish. She passed away a long time ago. The rare times I would eat fish, I'd always think about that widdle cutie swimming around her tank and I'd always feel really bad about it. I cut fish completely out of my diet a while ago. I've just come to the conclusion that fish are friends, not food. I think I might have just said a quote from Finding Nemo, but it fits here. 😁
LOVE this topic! I was pescatarian for so long (my boyfriend used to make fun of me and say I was the ultimate LA stereotype when I would tell waiters that I was a 'dairy free pescatarian') then I spent a ton of time at the beach and in the ocean and did research on overfishing and the disruption of the ocean's ecosystem and knew that from then on eating fish was out of the question. The more vegan I became the more connected I became to the living souls that people put in their mouths - you are so right that just bc fish aren't mammals we don't feel quite as connected but they deserve life too. Y'all are continuously the best 💕
I'm strongly considering going Pescatarian and coming out of a Carnivore lifestyle. do you no of anything that I could use as a substitute for eggs to make bread with?
A great way to meet fish in their natural habitat is to try Snorkelling and/or Scuba Diving. It’s so neat to see their personality and to see how they live 😃
It's so sad to think about all the individual lives that have been taken and all the suffering and terror that each individual goes through. My father, who after 2 years of me being vegan, still berates veganism often and refuses to even hear about vegan topics or anything to do with animal slaughter. Some people stew in the luxury of ignorance whilst others pay the ultimate price of their life for someone who wouldn't even have the audacity to face them.
TwoSnakes OneSword wow that's great. Thanks for the positivity. To be honest I can't see my father ever going vegan because he is very apathetic. But he is in a bad state of health so maybe that will eventually make him turn. Good day to you
I actually am a carnitarian, a lot of people assume it's the opposite of a vegetarian, but its actually the opposite of a pescatarian. Meaning, I eat meat but not fish. It really started for me when I watched finding Nemo as a child. For some reason the scene where the sharks said "fish are friends, not food" really resonated with me. After that, I refused to eat any seafood. I also grew up with fish as pets, so I'm a bit biased towards them. Growing up, I ate meat and always knew it came from animals, but I never made the same connection as I did with fish. I remember the lobster tanks in grocery stores and asking my dad if we could get one (as a pet, not realizing people eat them) and he said "why? You wouldnt eat it." And I was just shocked that he would even consider eating something I would consider my friend. So.. the fish thing stuck, but I never went full vegetarian or vegan. I think the trick is to start by educating your kids on where their food comes early on in life, and I will definitely be doing that so my kids get to have more of a say in what they eat as they grow up. If they choose to continue eating meat, then that's fine, but I want them to be able to make those decisions on their own and respect where it comes from.
Interesting how making that connection can have such an impact! That's really how going vegan started for all of us. We started seeing all animals as living beings rather than food and it became something we couldn't unsee. Cool that you can relate :)
thank you so much for this video. although i am not vegan, i am a teenager who is currently not eating meat, but my parents want me to eat fish in order to get all the protein i need🙄. i live on the east coast and in the summer the majority of people eat fish. at cookouts, or even at a restaurant there’s always fish. i told my parents that i didn’t want to eat fish because their lives are not any less important than a cow, or any other animals life. thank you so much for this video, i just subscribed because you all are so well spoken, and i will no longer eat fish :)
New to your channel! Excited watch more 😍 ps I appreciate that you all are so respectful of each other! The View (not the vegan one) makes my anxiety soar, so please keep being sweet and strong ladies! You all are awesome!
This was a very informative and educational video. I eat dairy free and enjoy vegan food, however I am still pescatarian because of my love for the taste of seafood. This video definitely made an impression on me and I am reconsidering becoming fully vegan which all I would have to do at this point is cut out fish. I never imagined myself doing that but this video for some reason hit different. Thank you ladies 💗🌱
I've been vegan for 2 years now and lately I've been looking into some property and one I came across had a beautiful stream full of fish. It was advertised on the listing as a fishing spot and I got to thinking, would I eat fish if I caught it myself? I started to justify it to myself with reasons like "it would be on a much smaller scale then industrial fishing", "they would be a lot healthier cause they live in a fresh water spring", & "I would probably only eat it once in a blue moon". Then I came across this video and it brought me back down to earth. No matter where they live or how they're caught, fish are still living beings and I have no right or reason to take their lives.
Fish was one of the first things I stopped eating. I never really liked eating fish anyway, and seeing it in the store with the eyes and scales and all that disgusts me, and it always has even when I was younger. So when I became vegetarian 4 years ago, I decided to stop eating fish as well. I have been strictly vegan since January, but I have been on and off in 2017
can you make one of these videos about sea food (like mussels) ? thanks. love you all. I stopped eating fish when my husband brought home some fish that were still alive and my first instinct , when seeing their mouths struggling to breath, was to pour water over them , to help them breathe. :(
Some Recent studies show that plants can feel pain also when you tear a leaf or burn them, so how do you feel eating plants if they can feel pain and fear?
I wish more sushi places had better options. Sometimes all they have is cucumber roll. That's fine, but I want tofu skin, asparagus, oshinko, kampyo, taro, sweet potato, all that stuff.
Yeah ethics and the existence of the entire web of life in the ocean aside, the smell of fish cooking, or even at the supermarket is just plain nasty. Save it for the dolphins and sharks!
The brand OceanHugger has vegan sashimi tuna made from tomatoes.....it is really really good!!!!!! Fish was the last thing I gave up cause I loved sushi too! Going to Japan in August so it will be interesting to see all the vegan food I can find there! ^^
Thanks for another great video! Love mondays ^^ I haven't tried many since there aren't many in Norway, but I make vegan sushi all the time and I have once made "cheat cakes". That's the translation for it, but in Norwegian those two fish/cheat are almost the same word. Fiskekaker/fuskekaker ^^ They were delicious. A creation of one of our biggest vegan bloggers for her vegan burger cook book which I love. Today though is all about the tofu. I made Nicole's recipe "get healthy for summer" with Teryaki Tofu, pickled red onions, avocado, lettuce and rice. So good!! Also last weekend I made pulled jackfruit for the first time which was amazing too!!
Disa Økland ok so many things to respond to here! First of all, I’m Norwegian too and I grew up eating Fiskekaker! I would love to know more about the vegan recipe of that because it’s something I haven’t had in ages. Excited to recreate it 🙌 also so glad you liked my recipe, that means a lot to me! AND I’m happy to hear that you like Mondays now because of our show, that means a lot ❤️ ok, I think that’s everything lol tussen takk!
First video I watch from this channel and I already suscribed. Thank you so much for the content. My family do not support me on my veganism and youre now helping me a lot. Love from Spain ♥️
love the vid. with all the knowledge i have on veganism and that i'm constantly learning, it's becoming increasingly difficult for me to not be a preachy vegan (which i don't wanna be) but it's so difficult when u know the truth. problem is most people see being vegan as a trend, so i'm not ever taken seriously. :p it just boggles my mind that i can care so much and other people will prioritize their selfishness to no end.
When I worked at the primary care clinic, we had a number of fishermen who had heavy metal toxicity. Our advice was eat your own product significantly less. Their metal levels were still high years later. I listen to metal. I don't eat it.
Hey Matt, we believe that killing animals for food is unnecessary and cruel. There are plenty of plant-based sources of protein and omegas so killing an animal that doesn’t want to die (all animals) seems inhumane. Also a lot of the water that fish live in is polluted with micro plastics, and the fishing industry itself is responsible for large amounts of plastic ending up in the ocean in the first place. AND over fishing can lead to disruption of already troubled ecosystems so there are a lot of reasons ☺️💚
I think plant also feel the pain or have something That you calls soul, but their body just so different from animals, the fact that we kill plant for eating is undenided, right?
After a while I lost interest of meat fish and stuff like that now I don’t even like the way it taste I lost interest of eating that stuff so now I’m going vegan I’m a future vegan
I feel so strongly about fish... Almost to an absurd level. I actually have an Atlantic Bluefin tattoo that's very visible, and it's such a conversation starter. There is an amazing group called Fishfeel.org, they do great work. There is also a great book called What A Fish Knows that discusses fish sentience and their awareness. It's mind blowing. Love your work, so glad I'm subscribed!
Please turn your sound levels up! Your recordings are so soft, I can't hear your conversations. (Especially when you talk soft.) Compare your audio levels with other RUclips videos, and you'll see what I mean. Your videos are less than half of the audio level of most videos. Trust me, I'm an audio technician. Whoever is recording your videos, needs to hear this. Tell them, the recording levels need to be at "Unity gain." (That's tech talk for standard recording levels. Not too high, not too low.) Best of luck with your channel!
In the book eating animals the chapter on fish is definitely a reed. I'm sorry it's not capitalized and I'm sorry I don't know the author's name at the present moment but I believe his last name, but I'm listening to this and making dinner. There's definitely a lot of excellent information in that book!
Johanna Woodbury the authors name is Jonathan Safran Foer! that book was the reason i went vegetarian before becoming vegan. every chapter of that book is really impactful, but i definitely do remember the fish chapter specifically.
Everything you said is true and helpful, but you forgot to mention that fish contain B12. Every doctor I have had has told me that I am at a risk for B12 deficiency since I do not eat fish (which has heaps of natural B12). I eat nutritional yeast and B12 is found in cereals and fortified foods, but they are not naturally produced and are found in small doses. I would like to know what B12 foods you ladies like to eat.
Could someone put a link about what Nisha was talking about the air from the ocean. I think she said the it was by Ali Gabreezy. I. Can’t seem to find it on youtube.
For me, I never wanted to eat fish. As a kid I wanted to be a marine biologist so I never wanted to eat animals I loved, so maybe in my lifetime I have had fish only 2 or 3 times ( I am 22). Fast forward I moved to Hawaii and everyone was so confused and shocked that I would not eat fish (this was before i was vegan) when fish is everywhere in restaurants. So for me fish I gave up a long time ago. I even remember someone asking me if I wnated to try a bite of their fish, and I literally started to panick and get flustered cause i was so aganist it. Also with fishing, they will take a knife into the eye of the fish to hit the nerves to kill them... so cruel... :(
Thanks for making this video! We can sometimes forget about the sea animals! There is a great documentary by Ali Tabrizi call Seaspiracy on You Tube. I highly recommend it to the viewers. 🐠🐡🐟🐬🦈🐋❤️
As an omnivore, I can respect your choice not to eat animals. I truly understand, I grew up hunting and fishing since I could walk, but I was also raised with a deep reverence for nature. Many hunters and fisherman have a profound respect for the animals they take in the field. HOWEVER, saying that a piece of fish is from "someone else's body" pushes the envelope for me. The idea that a fish has the same moral value as a human, to me, completely devalues the contributions that people can make to the world. Fish have not cured disease, fish have not invented the equipment and electronics that allow this channel to survive. Fish feel pain, of course they do. They have a brain, nerves and a spine. But to anthropomorphize every animal is a bit over the top.
It’s not that fish are the same as humans, it’s that they’re living beings who feel pain and fear and have a desire to live just like all animals - humans included - do. We don’t need to eat fish in order to survive, so it’s hard to justify killing another animal just because we like the way they taste or we enjoy the sport of fishing. It’s easy to get hung up on the details of an argument, but the underlying message is this: we’re vegan to reduce unnecessary pain and suffering when we can. We do that with conscious food choices that honor that intention. Hope that helps you see where we’re coming from! 💚
If it comes to the point of killing a dish...I mean fish..or any animals for that instance.... it's definitely not healthy... even though it does have healthy benefits etc...bottom line is it's can never be really healthy for us physically, mentally nor emotionally 🙏☺️
Have you tried jackfruit? I had a "tuna melt" made with jackfruit recently and it was so realistic it's crazy! We are also taste-testing a store bought version in an upcoming video... stay tuned :)
It makes me sad to see people teaching their kids to fish. That’s where the disconnect starts. It’s no different then hunting. So sad and uneccessary. Great video
The difference between this show and "The View" is that the women on the view challenge each other by having different viewpoints, no one here has an original idea, they are all just repeating the same talking points
It’s not about if the animals have feelings or not, just having the respect for it and killing it for a just reason is fine. If you wanna not eat fish because of your own health benefits is a different story. I’m Hawaiian and catching fish and harvesting other things from the sea is part of my culture I agree that majority of a persons diet should be plant based but fish and other things in the ocean give lots of health benefits 💪🏽🙏🏽🤙🏽
Thanks for sharing your point of view! Ours is simply that since fish do feel pain, and we don’t need to inflict pain on them for nutrients (the same can be found in a variety of plant foods) then why would we knowingly hurt another animal? Hope that helps you see where we’re coming from! 💚💚💚
They don't care about anyone's culture or human civilization. They are performing virtue signaling at the highest order. They believe propaganda and have no understanding of ancestral wisdom and knowledge. They want to look "skinny". It's all very vacuous
omg the indian girl is me!! i gave up fish too before everything else !! i wasn't vegan then either i did it cause of the mercury and all the chemicals in water .
Great question! Most vegans choose to only adopt rescue dogs, which at that point they’ve already been separated from their mothers, or if they are a puppy they are properly weaned off and separated at a time where they no longer need the mothers milk. Dogs were bred (by humans) to be domesticated, they can no longer survive in the wild so it is up to us humans to protect and provide for them. Much like rescue factory farm animals can’t survive in the wild either, they go to a sanctuary to live out their days in peace. Thank you for asking!
As always great video from you girls. I really had trouble giving up fish because it was difficult to see them as sentient beings, for me learning about the environmental aspect was what finally caused me to give up fish. I actually talk about this on my channel in my vegan story video-- feel free to check it out!
Being sentient does not mean "suffering". There are computer simulations of evolution currently running around the world of creatures even more complex than insects that try to avoid negative stimuli. Should you stop these simulations too, or just because those creatures aren't DNA-based, then their "suffering" doesn't count? This is nothing more than projection and a lack of understanding of the Neuropsychology and qualia. Fish does not have enough telencephalon to even remotely come close to emotions like mammals or animals that have consciousness. The plastic toxicity from ocean fish is vastly exaggerated, and the health benefits highly surpass the risk if you know what type of fish to get. IT is also important to know that algae omegas is more than a THOUSAND times more expensive and harder to absorve than fish. Many poor populations around the world would never have the economic viability to replace sources of omega and complex protein to their population with algae or other forms of supplements. This is NOT sustainable. Also, many countries have the cheapest form of fish meat based of fresh-water cultivation, The Tilapia is cheaper than second grade meat and pork in Brasil, for example, its cultivation is highly sustainable and do not disrupt the ecosystem of any oceans. Chile also cultivates salmon and Trout in fresh-pounds in a very sustainable fashion. A diet including fish is insurmountable more healthy, and more economically sustainable than living out of omega-3 supplements. Typical misleading vegan propaganda from privileged alienated first worlders to other alienated first worlders.
Thanks for sharing all the info!! My absolute FAV mock-fish recipe is the FILET-NO-'FISH' by Gaz Oakley Here's a picture of when I made it: instagram.com/p/BcKYlYwAo2o/?taken-by=vegan_belly And here's the recipe: ruclips.net/video/o2p9cTVKcyE/видео.html
Ok but like I know all animals feel pain but all animals eat other animals and to categorize humans as not another animal is foolish. I’m eat my meats because I’m a carnivore so ima eat like a carnivore
I know this is late, but, like you said, animals eat other animals, for example : bear, wolf, tiger ( real carnivore ) killing it's prey, that's because these animals don't have the choice , Their intestins are much more shorter than ours, and they produce more acidity in their stomachs so it's easier for them to digest meat flesh..they can't eat Carrots, Bananas, Bread, Tofu etc.. while us humans can completely live without having to eat Dead Animals..
I'm considering going Pescatarian due to the fact that I will not have enough energy with out consuming an animal and the fact the lobsters and crabs are so dang delicious!! I would give up steak just to eat two crab cakes a year 😋 👍. All of the cows, pigs, and chickens can thank all of the crabs and lobsters for being so tasty.
And the money to buy all those vegetables were do I get that? idk about you but all vegetables are expensive it’s easier to buy a pound of fish and get feed for 3 days then to buy veggies and only get a days worth for 10x the cost of a fish
fish are definitely very intelligent. Farmed salmon exhibit symptoms of depression, one emotion that only very intelligent animals can sense... :(
Depression isn’t something that only “intelligent” animals can feel.
I am not sure if anyone has mentioned this but with the amount of plastic in the ocean, people who eat fish, ingest that plastic.

Another great video, ladies!
Another informative, well thought out video. So good!
I just found this channel (thanks to veg fest) and omg!! I love it!! Hats off to you ladies. Keep up the good work! Looking forward to more videos!!
Just discovered Gardein Fishless filets. Soooo good!
Thanks for another great video! Love mondays ^^ I haven't tried many since there aren't many in Norway, but I make vegan sushi all the time and I have once made "cheat cakes". That's the translation for it, but in Norwegian those two fish/cheat are almost the same word. Fiskekaker/fuskekaker ^^ They were delicious. A creation of one of our biggest vegan bloggers for her vegan burger cook book which I love.
Today though is all about the tofu. I made Nicole's recipe "get healthy for summer" with Teryaki Tofu, pickled red onions, avocado, lettuce and rice. So good!!
Also last weekend I made pulled jackfruit for the first time which was amazing too!!
Disa Økland ok so many things to respond to here! First of all, I’m Norwegian too and I grew up eating Fiskekaker! I would love to know more about the vegan recipe of that because it’s something I haven’t had in ages. Excited to recreate it 🙌 also so glad you liked my recipe, that means a lot to me! AND I’m happy to hear that you like Mondays now because of our show, that means a lot ❤️ ok, I think that’s everything lol tussen takk!
First video I watch from this channel and I already suscribed. Thank you so much for the content. My family do not support me on my veganism and youre now helping me a lot. Love from Spain ♥️
love the vid. with all the knowledge i have on veganism and that i'm constantly learning, it's becoming increasingly difficult for me to not be a preachy vegan (which i don't wanna be) but it's so difficult when u know the truth. problem is most people see being vegan as a trend, so i'm not ever taken seriously. :p
it just boggles my mind that i can care so much and other people will prioritize their selfishness to no end.
This was really informative and a great discussion...(definitely craving avocado sushi now though YUM)
When I worked at the primary care clinic, we had a number of fishermen who had heavy metal toxicity. Our advice was eat your own product significantly less. Their metal levels were still high years later. I listen to metal. I don't eat it.
I am Fish Vegetarian.
I enjoy your Information.
You mean you’re pescatarian?
Plants feel pain too
What about fish from sustainable sources? Surely there's an argument for eating fish where stocks are controlled and they live in nice environments?
Hey Matt, we believe that killing animals for food is unnecessary and cruel. There are plenty of plant-based sources of protein and omegas so killing an animal that doesn’t want to die (all animals) seems inhumane. Also a lot of the water that fish live in is polluted with micro plastics, and the fishing industry itself is responsible for large amounts of plastic ending up in the ocean in the first place. AND over fishing can lead to disruption of already troubled ecosystems so there are a lot of reasons ☺️💚
I think plant also feel the pain or have something That you calls soul, but their body just so different from animals, the fact that we kill plant for eating is undenided, right?
After a while I lost interest of meat fish and stuff like that now I don’t even like the way it taste I lost interest of eating that stuff so now I’m going vegan I’m a future vegan
That’s awesome Joe! We have lots of videos to help make it easy and fun! 👏👏💚💚
I feel so strongly about fish... Almost to an absurd level. I actually have an Atlantic Bluefin tattoo that's very visible, and it's such a conversation starter. There is an amazing group called Fishfeel.org, they do great work. There is also a great book called What A Fish Knows that discusses fish sentience and their awareness. It's mind blowing. Love your work, so glad I'm subscribed!
What about hurricane katrina and thosebodies never found?
Is it me or the volume is really low
Please turn your sound levels up! Your recordings are so soft, I can't hear your conversations. (Especially when you talk soft.) Compare your audio levels with other RUclips videos, and you'll see what I mean. Your videos are less than half of the audio level of most videos. Trust me, I'm an audio technician. Whoever is recording your videos, needs to hear this. Tell them, the recording levels need to be at "Unity gain." (That's tech talk for standard recording levels. Not too high, not too low.) Best of luck with your channel!
i wish this show was an hour long! #NeedMoreVeganViewInMyLife lol
In the book eating animals the chapter on fish is definitely a reed. I'm sorry it's not capitalized and I'm sorry I don't know the author's name at the present moment but I believe his last name, but I'm listening to this and making dinner. There's definitely a lot of excellent information in that book!
Johanna Woodbury the authors name is Jonathan Safran Foer! that book was the reason i went vegetarian before becoming vegan. every chapter of that book is really impactful, but i definitely do remember the fish chapter specifically.
but God
gave us to fish from the sky so I still don't know if i should eat it or not
God gave us dogs. I suppose you eat them as well?
I remember bawling my eyes out when my dad made me eat a catfish I caught when I was a kid. Up until that point, I just thought fishing was fun.
Everything you said is true and helpful, but you forgot to mention that fish contain B12. Every doctor I have had has told me that I am at a risk for B12 deficiency since I do not eat fish (which has heaps of natural B12). I eat nutritional yeast and B12 is found in cereals and fortified foods, but they are not naturally produced and are found in small doses. I would like to know what B12 foods you ladies like to eat.
Vegans use b12 supplements
Also so informative, I learned new info about the ocean.
Could someone put a link about what Nisha was talking about the air from the ocean. I think she said the it was by Ali Gabreezy. I. Can’t seem to find it on youtube.
My favorite vegan sushi is avocado, cucumber, optional:carrots and mango on top
We love this recipe for "crab" cakes, which uses artichoke hearts: keepinitkind.com/tag/crab-cake/
For me, I never wanted to eat fish. As a kid I wanted to be a marine biologist so I never wanted to eat animals I loved, so maybe in my lifetime I have had fish only 2 or 3 times ( I am 22). Fast forward I moved to Hawaii and everyone was so confused and shocked that I would not eat fish (this was before i was vegan) when fish is everywhere in restaurants. So for me fish I gave up a long time ago. I even remember someone asking me if I wnated to try a bite of their fish, and I literally started to panick and get flustered cause i was so aganist it. Also with fishing, they will take a knife into the eye of the fish to hit the nerves to kill them... so cruel... :(
Great content 👏🏻👏🏻
Great video! Can you guys do a video on your opinion of honey? Thanks! :-)
What’s the girls name to the far left?
Thanks for making this video! We can sometimes forget about the sea animals!
There is a great documentary by Ali Tabrizi call Seaspiracy on You Tube. I highly recommend it to the viewers. 🐠🐡🐟🐬🦈🐋❤️
As an omnivore, I can respect your choice not to eat animals. I truly understand, I grew up hunting and fishing since I could walk, but I was also raised with a deep reverence for nature. Many hunters and fisherman have a profound respect for the animals they take in the field. HOWEVER, saying that a piece of fish is from "someone else's body" pushes the envelope for me. The idea that a fish has the same moral value as a human, to me, completely devalues the contributions that people can make to the world. Fish have not cured disease, fish have not invented the equipment and electronics that allow this channel to survive. Fish feel pain, of course they do. They have a brain, nerves and a spine. But to anthropomorphize every animal is a bit over the top.
It’s not that fish are the same as humans, it’s that they’re living beings who feel pain and fear and have a desire to live just like all animals - humans included - do. We don’t need to eat fish in order to survive, so it’s hard to justify killing another animal just because we like the way they taste or we enjoy the sport of fishing. It’s easy to get hung up on the details of an argument, but the underlying message is this: we’re vegan to reduce unnecessary pain and suffering when we can. We do that with conscious food choices that honor that intention. Hope that helps you see where we’re coming from! 💚
It's more than over-the-top, it's intellectually dishonest and lazy
If it comes to the point of killing a dish...I mean fish..or any animals for that instance.... it's definitely not healthy... even though it does have healthy benefits etc...bottom line is it's can never be really healthy for us physically, mentally nor emotionally 🙏☺️
Cruelty is never the answer nor solution..🙏
@@sukh2010 killing for nutrition is not cruelty
“She wrote a song about her blowfish?” hahahahahahahahahaha
The one thing I miss is tuna but haven't found anything that taste like tuna yet
Have you tried jackfruit? I had a "tuna melt" made with jackfruit recently and it was so realistic it's crazy! We are also taste-testing a store bought version in an upcoming video... stay tuned :)
Ty for giving more reasons why not to eat fish... Because I actually do have a heart unlike most men
❤️
Talk about virtue signaling!
‘ELA’ 😆
:53 the stop talking about your boyfriends boat look has been given
Few fishermen would stab a fish in quick way to die for it to be painless way.
You can always get an aquarium if you went your whole life without being around fish...lol
It makes me sad to see people teaching their kids to fish. That’s where the disconnect starts. It’s no different then hunting. So sad and uneccessary.
Great video
The difference between this show and "The View" is that the women on the view challenge each other by having different viewpoints, no one here has an original idea, they are all just repeating the same talking points
It’s not about if the animals have feelings or not, just having the respect for it and killing it for a just reason is fine. If you wanna not eat fish because of your own health benefits is a different story. I’m Hawaiian and catching fish and harvesting other things from the sea is part of my culture I agree that majority of a persons diet should be plant based but fish and other things in the ocean give lots of health benefits 💪🏽🙏🏽🤙🏽
Thanks for sharing your point of view! Ours is simply that since fish do feel pain, and we don’t need to inflict pain on them for nutrients (the same can be found in a variety of plant foods) then why would we knowingly hurt another animal? Hope that helps you see where we’re coming from! 💚💚💚
They don't care about anyone's culture or human civilization. They are performing virtue signaling at the highest order. They believe propaganda and have no understanding of ancestral wisdom and knowledge. They want to look "skinny". It's all very vacuous
Hi Nisha, what was the video you mentioned about phytoplancton ?
around 14 mins
omg the indian girl is me!! i gave up fish too before everything else !! i wasn't vegan then either i did it cause of the mercury and all the chemicals in water .
Not until you get sick. It takes time to realize that.
So wait, do vegans have dogs/pets ? If so, how do they feel about putting their dogs on leashes and separating them from their mothers 🤔
Great question! Most vegans choose to only adopt rescue dogs, which at that point they’ve already been separated from their mothers, or if they are a puppy they are properly weaned off and separated at a time where they no longer need the mothers milk. Dogs were bred (by humans) to be domesticated, they can no longer survive in the wild so it is up to us humans to protect and provide for them. Much like rescue factory farm animals can’t survive in the wild either, they go to a sanctuary to live out their days in peace. Thank you for asking!
Interesting perspective but do you believe dogs would choose to live their lives this way for themselves ?
They only know domestication. They have never lived in the wild, so yes. They depend on humans for survival and protection.
@@TheVeganView I think this would be a great discussion. I'm sure people have different views on this
Hannah 😢😢😢😭😭😭😭😭😭
I never liked any fish or Sea/river food when I wasnt vegan, so... Definetely dont miss sushi 😀
I’m a fish
Lol a fish who types! Very impressive 😂👌
Can you guys subscribe to me
That brown girl
As always great video from you girls. I really had trouble giving up fish because it was difficult to see them as sentient beings, for me learning about the environmental aspect was what finally caused me to give up fish. I actually talk about this on my channel in my vegan story video-- feel free to check it out!
Tell the bears to stop eating fish!! Those bastards!!
The worst fking part is when that fish starts to jump on a pan holly fk thats nasty 😂
Never seen it happen because it doesn't happen
Good video, constructive feedback: Work on eliminating your discourse markers. :)
I am not vegan, but good on everyone that is. :D
The commercial fishing industry may be even more filthy and disgusting than the cattle and pig slaughterhouses.
i went fishing and felt sorry for the fish that were caught
Being sentient does not mean "suffering". There are computer simulations of evolution currently running around the world of creatures even more complex than insects that try to avoid negative stimuli. Should you stop these simulations too, or just because those creatures aren't DNA-based, then their "suffering" doesn't count? This is nothing more than projection and a lack of understanding of the Neuropsychology and qualia. Fish does not have enough telencephalon to even remotely come close to emotions like mammals or animals that have consciousness.
The plastic toxicity from ocean fish is vastly exaggerated, and the health benefits highly surpass the risk if you know what type of fish to get. IT is also important to know that algae omegas is more than a THOUSAND times more expensive and harder to absorve than fish. Many poor populations around the world would never have the economic viability to replace sources of omega and complex protein to their population with algae or other forms of supplements. This is NOT sustainable. Also, many countries have the cheapest form of fish meat based of fresh-water cultivation, The Tilapia is cheaper than second grade meat and pork in Brasil, for example, its cultivation is highly sustainable and do not disrupt the ecosystem of any oceans. Chile also cultivates salmon and Trout in fresh-pounds in a very sustainable fashion. A diet including fish is insurmountable more healthy, and more economically sustainable than living out of omega-3 supplements. Typical misleading vegan propaganda from privileged alienated first worlders to other alienated first worlders.
Thanks for sharing all the info!!
My absolute FAV mock-fish recipe is the FILET-NO-'FISH' by Gaz Oakley
Here's a picture of when I made it:

Dani 😍😍😍😍
Your body can make DHA from ALA! :)
yeah... at a rate of less than 10%
Ok but like I know all animals feel pain but all animals eat other animals and to categorize humans as not another animal is foolish. I’m eat my meats because I’m a carnivore so ima eat like a carnivore
Yea I'm sure you salivate when you see pigs and cow's that are alive like a true carnivore
I know this is late, but, like you said, animals eat other animals, for example : bear, wolf, tiger ( real carnivore ) killing it's prey, that's because these animals don't have the choice , Their intestins are much more shorter than ours, and they produce more acidity in their stomachs so it's easier for them to digest meat flesh..they can't eat Carrots, Bananas, Bread, Tofu etc.. while us humans can completely live without having to eat Dead Animals..
I'm considering going Pescatarian due to the fact that I will not have enough energy with out consuming an animal and the fact the lobsters and crabs are so dang delicious!! I would give up steak just to eat two crab cakes a year 😋 👍. All of the cows, pigs, and chickens can thank all of the crabs and lobsters for being so tasty.
Just eat pasture raised eggs
And the money to buy all those vegetables were do I get that? idk about you but all vegetables are expensive it’s easier to buy a pound of fish and get feed for 3 days then to buy veggies and only get a days worth for 10x the cost of a fish
Girl fight!!!! Fight fight
I want to know what you guys think about people saying plants have feelings too.. & it’s actually proven I guess..
Fruit trees dont die when you pick fruit.
Carrots and things do die
