Rose, you’re describing a very common psychological phenomenon. In my psychology class, we just learned about cognitive dissonance. When people have a discrepancy between what they’re doing and what they believe, they will almost always change what they BELIEVE rather than what they do Killing animals for food FEELS wrong, but instead of not killing them, people will say “well it must not be that bad.” Vegans, vegetarians, and reducitarians have taken the more difficult, but intellectually honest approach of changing their ACTIONS, which causes meat eaters’ dissonance to resurface. They don’t like that; that’s why they get so defensive.
Khan Khan Yo. Did you not eat animal products yourself in your past? Most ppl have. It doesn’t help you to feel so much hate for ppl. Helps more to put yourself back in their shoes and the mindset you USED to have so that you can talk to them in a more humble and compassionate way, coming from an area of understanding.
Khan Khan Be careful with that mentality. I’m not vegan myself (vegetarian since I’m not always in control of what food gets served to me) and I don’t think eating meat makes people scum. It makes them not entirely intellectually honest, but don’t we all suffer from that? Maybe you don’t eat meat, but are your clothes made from sweatshop workers? Do you drink coffee or eat chocolate produced by slaves? There are many ways that we can reduce suffering besides not eating meat. Please don’t alienate those who might otherwise be on our side by calling them scum
You’re a little late to game as far as cognitive dissonance is concerned. I understand that you just learned about it, but you’ve been beholden to it your entire life. When a person becomes an ethical vegan they encounter a flood of guilt and shame. You aren’t special. This isn’t a new idea.
anon anon You’re right; cognitive dissonance isn’t a new idea, nor is it actually the first time I’ve learned about it. It was just weird that it was discussed in my class and then this video was posted. Not sure why you needed to say that I wasn’t special. Seems a bit out of place, no? I don’t care what a random person on the internet thinks, but I do care that your rotten attitude might deter other people. If you’re vegan, I would strongly recommend that you be a little kinder so that you can be a better representation of your movement 👍🏻
Khan Khan hm well you shouldn’t globalize any group of ppl into one mind set. Not all vegans are the same. Just like not all meat eaters are the same. But in any case I think it’s good when vegans explain and point out the injustices happening to animals. If you or others don’t want to listen because you don’t care, then that’s fine. You don’t have to. There are others whom are interested in listening.
Unfortunately, I have no friends who are vegan but watching your videos makes me feel so much less alone and its so awesome when someone feels exactly the same as I do when everyone around me treats me like Im weird. Thank you.
i have found that being alone is not a bad thing!! no need to have to endure idiots. go rescue or foster animals that has always worked for me, take care.
ahh same here... I had only once met a vegetarian... I stupidly asked her why she was vegetarian too, she snapped back at me... I wanted to hear her arguments but now I understand why she assumed I was insinuating it was weird... anyway, u are not weird, u are amazing for standing up all alone!
My sister called me judgmental the other day. She kept trying to make excuses as to why her lifestyle is not wrong (lions, hunter gatherers, "humane" slaughter) and told me I need to respect it. But shes never actually bothered to watch any slaughterhouse footage or educated herself on this issue and I've sent her links to check out but she refuses to look at any of them. So not only is she being willfully ignorant but shes also indoctrinating her daughter into thinking it's okay to eat and exploit animals. Edit: I really needed to hear this rant right now. I've been feeling really attacked lately by my family
rj truth17 thanks for your comment ❤️ I know it can be SO hard 😔 I’m also the only vegan in my family and it can be really difficult at times!! You’re doing great!! 💕☺️
you are literally the ONLY person on the planet whose chewing sounds i dont mind at all! i actually like listening the crunch, it makes whatever youre eating seem delicious (wich i know it is!), usually i absolutely hate hearing any eating sounds from other people😅 love these vids rose🌹💚
This video resonated with me so much. I have such a desire to spread veganism and be active, but I’m so scared that people will think that I don’t love them anyway. I was starting to feel very alone, I needed this right now ❤️
UnofficialKenzi hate to hear that you’re feeling alone!! There is a community out there even if it seems like there isn’t unless you’re on the internet. Maybe join a vegan group that have events or go to a cool restaurant where you could maybe start a conversation with someone (if there are some in your area). I truly believe that you can only stand up for animals if you are happy in your life. Trust me so many people are influenced when you are super happy most of the time and tell them that it’s because you love living an intentional life. Hope this helps a little xx
You are never ever alone, the vegan community will forever support you and guide you! Even non-vegans will respect your mentality, and even though there are some that cannot quite grasp the concept, it is helpful to remind yourself that you are doing amazing things for the world and you should not let anyone tear you down! Sending you love and positive energy ❤️
I too have been feeling like this Kenzi. I wish I had a vegan friend close by. I have a great one, she's the best, but she lives in another country (still I feel very lucky to have her as a friend). But your comment and the beautiful responses by Leela and Shana made me feel less alone.
@@n.c.9133 Me too!!! It's hard sometimes, and it would be lovely to have a community of like minded people, to recharge and feel connected. I don't think it's healthy to only talk with people who have a similar outlook, but I think it's also extremely unhealthy to be the only one in your community who thinks this way. It's alienating. I loved what you said about intentional living! I try, but I don't feel very in control of my emotions, and people see me more as a frustrated person than a happy vegan. Not good😅
I love your rants! Gotta stand up for what is right. It is so weird to me when non vegans are surprised that a vegan actually has strong views on this. Like they expect me to have gone vegan without having much of a reason to...? So strange.
Good to see you speaking out on such topics! I hate having to bottle this up on a daily basis, having the suffering of other innocent beings on my mind but being mocked for wishing to prevent what I am able to! Thanks for speaking on a subject so closely held to not only my heart but likely many of us!
I've been vegan for almost 20 years and have been subbed to you for about 3 years. I've watched every single one of your videos and enjoyed them all but this one rang true to me more so than all the others.
This is why I love you & have stayed subscribed to you for so long. You're SUCH a Libra. You see both sides to everything and you're intellectually honest about it. Its refreshing because so many vegans lose that
I love that you quoted this. I see so many Christians (and all religious people, really) using The Bible as their defense for killing and eating innocent animals.
That Hotdog looks so yummy!! And I totally understand what you're saying in this video. I am new to veganism, and several people found out I was vegan and stopped talking to me for it. which personally is their loss but the backlash I am receiving from just mentioning I am vegan is crazy.
It really is crazy to hear what people say as soon as you mention vegan. It is actually the reason I haven't told co-workers yet. I hate having to "hide" it but I already get tons of comments from family and I don't think I could handle comments at work too. Stay strong! You do what you believe is right. Even if you can't see us, there is a whole community of us out there that are excited for you and will always be supportive. 😃
You are so real! I am gradually trying to 'decondition' myself from meat eater to vegan, it's a process but your videos (especially this one) are always motivational!
Okay this is a novel: Thank you so much!! Literally loved this video. I’ve been feeling this internal struggle lately, between wanting to tell friends/family how I really feel about veganism vs just keeping quiet and going with the flow. 99% of the time I am the type of person/vegan that is very accepting of everyone because I know each individual is on their own journey and I can’t force anyone to change their ways.. but there are times that, on the inside, I feel like all I want to do is tell people how I really feel. Yes, I’m a really kind person and try my best not to be judge mental, but I AM vegan for a reason, it’s not something that just magically happened one day! I am super passionate about it and I feel so tired of making up some BS excuses when people ask me why I’m vegan like “oh better health” or “the environment” like YES those things are valid but I feel like if I say what I’m truly thinking (ummm.. the animals?! So that other beings don’t have to suffer?? So that my actions are aligned with my values??) people F R E A K out. So I just try to just lead by example...but honestly sometimes it can be hard 😥 this video helped so much. I thank you for speaking honestly and openly 💕 You give me courage to be more honest + open with my loved ones as well.
Great rant. Our choices are influenced by our genes and life experience, but what makes our human experience precious is the ability to choose. People with negative experiences and genes can still make the effort to make loving choices. When you make an ethical, moral choice that was not taught or learned, that is when our souls are progressing and the reason we are here.
Yes!!! I have been having a rough couple of days lately because of family taunting or what they like to call "how they show love." It has really been getting me fired up and wanting to yell and scream and shut them all out of my life. I really feel like I needed this video today. To see that someone else is well... Angry. Thank you for this video. It literally showed up at the perfect time. ♥️♥️ That hotdog looked bomb! And the mic sounded super good!
I 100% agree with everything you said. Finding the balance between advocating for the animals but also being a relatively approachable person is difficult. I find people are okay when i say I’m vegan-most of the time-but if I ever go into why I’m vegan past the blanket statement that it’s “for the animals, the planet and my health” people immediately get turned off it doesn’t matter seem to matter how I approach explaining it they don’t want to listen. If if they don’t want to listen why would they ask in the first place it’s just infuriating like they asked me the questions and then I answered it. my answers are never angry or aggressive. they are factually backed responses but because it challenges their belief they don’t like my answer. somehow I’m the asshole vegan because they can’t come to terms with their own cognitive dissonance, somehow that’s my fault? I understand it’s hard to get over it but I’m not just spouting this every two seconds to shove down people’s throats I’m usually prompt to answer so it’s just confusing and frustrating.
Great topic!! Just went to visit my mom last week and she was going on and on about me being vegan. She asked me how long I was going to keep this up! She doesn’t get it yet and I’ve been vegan for little over 2 years.
Really enjoyed the rant, gave me a lot of commonality since I frequently feel frustrated in oh so many discussions. Thanks for sharing, you left a lot of food for thought! :)
Girl, YES. Sometimes I don't want to speak up when necessary because I don't want others to feel "attacked", but then again the animals and our climate don't give a f*ck about people's feelings. That's how I went vegan, vegans hurt my feelings, made me feel the guilt and so I changed. I'm not a militant vegan by any means but now everytime someone questions veganism I say "why the heck are you against a cause that aims to cause the least amount of suffering possible? Check your morals."
I really needed to hear this today! I've been trying so hard to gain approval from my meat-eating family and friends that I've almost forgotten why I went vegan in the first place. Great video ^u^
As someone who has been transitioning over to veganism, you make so many great points. My family refers to me going vegan as “going to the dark side” like I’m the one in the wrong here and make fun of my beliefs. I’ve been dairy free and have not eaten fish or any land animals for just shy of a year now. The last thing I’ve been having a hard time letting go of is shrimp and crab. But you’ve brought up some valid points. Why am I still allowing the conditioning of it’s okay to still eat crustaceans from time to time because it’s not in line with what I believe in. This video may just be the push I needed so thank you for this rant.
I hear ya. I'm not a fan of mukangs because I really don't enjoy watching, and moreso HEARING, people eat. But I don't want to miss what my favorite RUclipsrs have to say so I continue to suffer through this mukbang trend.
@@wesleyjimenez755 I know think many are normally (apart from the horrible "asmr" ones 🤢). Any I've normally seen you just see them eating but don't hear everything going on in their mouths. Which that I'm happy to watch as it's just the sounds of loud chewing and such that I hate lol
This video is too real! I’ve been trying to find my balance with this for years. Speaking up, but not being a dick about it, but not getting pushed around either. You’re right, it’s so ridiculous that everyone believes that animal cruelty is wrong, but they don’t want to be judged for contributing to it. We need to keep showing up and speaking up. Great video. The animals need people to speak up for them
It still sometimes bothers me when I talk about the ethics of going vegan with family and friends, which doesn’t happen very often cause I don’t like confrontation, that no matter what I say about animal suffering and cruelty, they just try to end the conversation and get back to eating whatever dead animal they have on their plate. And I swear the next time someone I’m with says to me when eating out, “That’s looks good! I would eat that,” while eating their meal of animal products, I really want to say, “Then why don’t you?” It’s kinda lonely being the only vegan in my immediate and extended family as well as close friend group 😔
This video has the word mukbang in the title. So.... I was not surprised or disgusted to hear chewing noises 😋. The new microphone seems to be working well. I luv your personality and content. 😍
Rose, you are so eloquent and amazing! I loved this video, and I’ve been frustrated about this forever. You should do more rants because they are necessary! Also this looks so delicious and I’ll definitely be on the look out for your ebook ❤️
god yessss every time i watch when you talk about this topic i’m like yesss that’s exactly what i try to tell people. i hate coming off as judgmental cos it’s like i’m not perfect so why try and tell someone else about how they’re living their life. i feel as though vegans get judge wayyy more by meat eaters than vise versa. i see it everyday on social media. and i also hate when people say well you’re just one person, you can’t change anything. BULLSHIT, like you said what if martin luther would’ve never spoke up?? god yes rose thank you!!! i could go on and on. thank you for these mukbangs. they’re my fav!!!❤️❤️
it's so weird how vegans are the ones given the label for NOT contributing to the mass exploitation of animals. like, where are the labels for those who AREN'T racist, homophobic, misogynistic, etc??? that's doesn't exist, it's just called being a decent human being. that's why i like flipping the script and using the 'carnist' label for non-vegans. THEY are the ones actively paying for and contributing to the suffering of animals, and should be labeled as such.
Rose I loved this mukbang! It is true...finding the balance between being judgmental vs appealing to omnivores by being quiet and complacent. Can you maybe do a future mukbang about how your approach has changed as you age (maybe not just veganism but other humanitarian issues as well)? Now that I have reached my early 30’s I find myself being less “in your face” about my moral convictions due to exhaustion of receiving judgment and rude behavior from omnivores 9 times out of 10; yet, at times I almost feel disappointed in myself for not speaking out enough, for basically handling omnivores with kid gloves. It would be awesome to hear about your evolution from early 20’s to now (although you were not vegan in your early 20’s, your transformation started well before you went full vegan). I would love to see a video speaking about this, and perhaps other viewers are in their 30’s or older as well. Things do change as we age. Thank you for this video and I appreciate you and your channel as well as what you’re doing for the movement!
Awesome rant! It actually put a lot of my same feelings about this topic into words. Also, I love your mukbang Mondays! I find the sounds to be soothing.
There’s a lot of truth in what you’re talking about and I understand why you are so passionate about it. I probably wouldn’t be able to talk about it for so long without bursting into tears (I’m a crybaby and it makes it difficult sometimes to talk about stuff and be taken seriously). I do think though it might have come of better to people who are not vegan yet if it was expressed in a little calmer manner. I absolutely do get you and support you, and it’a an important thing to talk about. I hope that people who just came here to watch you eat this yummy sub will also stay for what you have to say. :)
I think a similar discourse could be done for climate and pollution situations. I hate when people are aware of the problems, they are sad for the marine wildlife, but they don't do absolutely anything to change at least one part of their behaviours to improve the situation.. because it is too "difficult". At the same time, it is frustrating when people talk about the strange climate but they don't ask why the situation is like this.
I when to a vegan festival the other day it was great I never been to one before it was so nice to go somewhere where we could eat all the food without worrying and the food was delicious we will definitely go again
Rose, this video was perfect - I love chewing sounds (why I watch mukbangs lol) and you really just spoke exactly how I’ve felt for years but haven’t consciously thought it. I am vegan, and I always say to people “don’t worry etc you can eat meat in front of me” but I’m kinda giving the wrong message. And I shouldn’t be so chill. It’s just so hard to say anything because then all of a sudden we go from 0-100 and people think of us as the “militant” vegan. So hard to find balance
I used to comment on other commenters who commented on a youtube video on how to spot dog meat in chinese. One of my friends who dissuading others from dairy products is being judged as crazy & passionate a/ nothing. The guy is a doctor simply telling the truth that it’s not normal for grown humans to drink other mammals’ breast milk. The funny thing is those people who judge this doctor actually found adult humans drinking human breast milk kinky & weird. He & I always roll our eyes when someone said we need cows milk for strong bones. The moment i learned the truth that we actually don’t need it for strong bones (after i had a lengthy conversation w/ him 1st time the topic came up), i was so glad to be able to stop buying milk, butter, cheese & yogurt. I’d rather eat kimchi & sauerkraut for probiotics and eat my raw or honey roasted almonds for strong bones. Keep up the good work Rose
I am close friends with someone who generally doesnt like vegans and doesn't agree with veganism. It's difficult when she calls me a 'cool vegan' compared to other vegans but I do know that I am having small positive influences on her. If I was judgemental and talked about veganism all the time to her it would push her away from the idea. But because I don't do that, she seems to be more inclined towards veganism now. It's just about people's psychologies. I think it's just situational to see which method of activism would work best for each person
Honestly I became a quiet vegatarian/vegan (not 100% vegan yet, trying) because I realised that there's no point in trying to reason with people who are too blind and set in their beliefs to admit their hypocrisy. When people are open to have an intelligent conversation I will stand up for myself and call them out but I stopped trying to have conversations with people who only see the food and not the animals. You can plant a seed if they're truly ignorant about animal cruelty (who is at this point) but in the end it's them who will have to make the connection. If they want to stay blind let them deal with their conscience, I'm just glad I don't have that on my shoulders anymore (shows them how nice it is to be guilt-free !)
I had to keep fast forwarding to avoid the eating sounds, but I really really wanted to listen to what you had to say 😅That sub/hot dog looked really delicious though!!
As a cashier I was checking someone’s groceries and they started going on to someone about how much they hate animal abusers and how they should go to jail and so on and I was literally scanning a bunch of meat products.... I was like wtf how can they not see this. I always think you have to meet people where they are or they can’t see you... if somebody says vegans are on a moral high horse as an insult what they are doing is trying to drag you down to their level instead of having the guts to learn something and raise they’re own level and join you. So my response to that is “thank you would you like a ride”. Obviously vegans don’t ride horses etc but it’s a way to turn the tables.
If they can dissociate themselves from the horror of what happens in slaughterhouses, they can live with eating meat. If the "animal lovers" had to see someone do to their dog or cat what is done to cows, pigs, chickens, sheep and goats on a daily basis, it would be more difficult for them to deal with. I don't think most people think of cruelty, they just remain ignorant of the facts so they can deal.
You should do a what I eat in a day on a day that you film a mukbang so that we can see how this larger meal affects the other meals that you eat throughout the day!! 🤗
I’ve been kind of faced with this dilemma of being vegan for myself, and promoting it to other people. I don’t post about it often unless I get some really good vegan food somewhere, and sometimes I make vegan recommendations on my instagram story. But, I don’t post about it actively because people attack and I don’t want that. I don’t torture myself by looking at slaughterhouse footage either because I didn’t need that to go vegan in the first place, I knew what was right and wrong and I know that’s rare... I follow several different types of vegans but I don’t know it’s such a touchy subject of whether you promote or not..
Dropping some truth bombs here!! I love how middle way you are also laughing at yourself for being so serious and ranting. You are a perfect balance :D
I absolutely love this set of carrots on the side. i am in love with kimchi i make my own for years now however i never cook it dont want to kill the probiatic properties.
eating goldfish was a thing in the 60s, go to a party, dance a little and enter the live goldfish eating contest. wierd!! vegans are being heard, the plant based alternatives are growing in numbers in my shitty animal-heavy Acme market.
I love your rants so much. It's so damn nice to hear someone say everything I am thinking and feeling but won't speak out on because all it does it make people even more defensive and honestly I'm tired of always having to argue with people. I really need some vegan friends...
I have just eaten, and now I'm hungry again edit: liking the rant, i recognise myself in your feelings, i don't know any other vegans or vegetarians in real life, so i probably don't speak up enough, i try to do my part by leading by example, it's a lonely life sometimes, luckily we have the internet
You have made transitioning easier.My family loves with food. Mostly with steak and meat loaf.They love animals, but judge me for not eating it.So I rebuttal with love for all animals even ugly ones. I love your rants. You inspire me to just be me. Keep up the good fight #veganstrong
I’ve always been about uplifting other people no matter what their values and their stances on their vegan journey. I think everybody will make healthier plant-based choices in their lives at one point, but it’s definitely not true to love animals while eating them. It’s consent to suffering and murder. No question about it!
I cant deal with vegans who throw other vegans under the bus because they want to be seen as a "cool vegan." The only way to be a "cool vegan," in most meat eaters' eyes, is to shut up about it 100% of the time, and then when they say, "is it okay if I eat meat in front of you?" then the cool vegan coddles them and says "oh yeah, it's totally okay, I have zero problem with it, eating meat is 100% acceptable!" Ugh.. meat eaters are so desperate to get a vegan's approval. We dont have to start yelling at them when they ask that or anything, but we also shouldn't be coddling them and giving them the impression that its 100% okay to eat animals.
Yikes, you could literally just tell them it's not your decision to make for them or that you should think about the animal being exploited for your meal more than the vegan sitting next to you.
I just tell them I will never like seeing people eat meat but that I'm not going to lecture them. That's not my job. I will show them why they should be vegan by example.
@@angeliparraguirre7329 what do you mean "yikes"? I dont even say it as bluntly as you did above. When a meat eater asks me if it's okay if they eat animals in front of me, I say something like, "it doesn't make me uncomfortable personally, but it's not about me, it's about the animal." So just it's not coddling them, but also not yelling at them. What you said above is much more aggressive than what I usually say, so I not sure why your reaction is "yikes"?
Are you eating on a cutting board? Is that your normal plate? You make good points here again. I think people need to get over themselves. If someone criticizes you for doing something hurtful and unnecessary, if you have a conscience, you will just keep quiet and take it. The first I heard of veganism was when people brought up the hypocrisy and cruelty of eating animals. It wasn't about joining some hipster subculture of people trying to get in shape and pose on the internet while claiming to love animals and the earth. Those people have dropped away now and eat animals and buy their byproducts for their homes.
If you ask me Rose it's intellectually contradictory because omni's love their cats and dogs but yet have no problem eating a turkey sandwich with mayo
Rose, you’re describing a very common psychological phenomenon.

There are many ways that we can reduce suffering besides not eating meat. Please don’t alienate those who might otherwise be on our side by calling them scum
You’re a little late to game as far as cognitive dissonance is concerned. I understand that you just learned about it, but you’ve been beholden to it your entire life. When a person becomes an ethical vegan they encounter a flood of guilt and shame. You aren’t special. This isn’t a new idea.

I don’t care what a random person on the internet thinks, but I do care that your rotten attitude might deter other people. If you’re vegan, I would strongly recommend that you be a little kinder so that you can be a better representation of your movement 👍🏻

But shes never actually bothered to watch any slaughterhouse footage or educated herself on this issue and I've sent her links to check out but she refuses to look at any of them. So not only is she being willfully ignorant but shes also indoctrinating her daughter into thinking it's okay to eat and exploit animals.

I don't think it's healthy to only talk with people who have a similar outlook, but I think it's also extremely unhealthy to be the only one in your community who thinks this way. It's alienating. I loved what you said about intentional living! I try, but I don't feel very in control of my emotions, and people see me more as a frustrated person than a happy vegan. Not good😅
I love your rants! Gotta stand up for what is right. It is so weird to me when non vegans are surprised that a vegan actually has strong views on this. Like they expect me to have gone vegan without having much of a reason to...? So strange.
"It is our moral duty to speak out" well said Rose
*angrily chews carrot*
Mood for 2019
Good to see you speaking out on such topics! I hate having to bottle this up on a daily basis, having the suffering of other innocent beings on my mind but being mocked for wishing to prevent what I am able to! Thanks for speaking on a subject so closely held to not only my heart but likely many of us!
I've been vegan for almost 20 years and have been subbed to you for about 3 years. I've watched every single one of your videos and enjoyed them all but this one rang true to me more so than all the others.
This is why I love you & have stayed subscribed to you for so long. You're SUCH a Libra. You see both sides to everything and you're intellectually honest about it. Its refreshing because so many vegans lose that
Proverbs 31:8 Speak up for those who cannot speak for themselves ; ensure justice for those being crushed.
Yes, justice is very important
I love that you quoted this. I see so many Christians (and all religious people, really) using The Bible as their defense for killing and eating innocent animals.
@@PerpetuallyAnnoyed God originally made Adam and Eve vegan, so I like to think of that :)
That Hotdog looks so yummy!! And I totally understand what you're saying in this video. I am new to veganism, and several people found out I was vegan and stopped talking to me for it. which personally is their loss but the backlash I am receiving from just mentioning I am vegan is crazy.
It really is crazy to hear what people say as soon as you mention vegan. It is actually the reason I haven't told co-workers yet. I hate having to "hide" it but I already get tons of comments from family and I don't think I could handle comments at work too. Stay strong! You do what you believe is right. Even if you can't see us, there is a whole community of us out there that are excited for you and will always be supportive. 😃
Ladies, go to VeganForHer on Facebook, toooons of support. Stay strong 💪 it makes so much if a difference in so many ways. The future is vegan
Rose I love your rants. They are usually pretty logical in my opinion! 🌹
You are so real! I am gradually trying to 'decondition' myself from meat eater to vegan, it's a process but your videos (especially this one) are always motivational!
I literally watch every minute of your munching mondays!
Just wanna say that you're approach about Veganism in general resonates with me 100%
Okay this is a novel:
Thank you so much!! Literally loved this video. I’ve been feeling this internal struggle lately, between wanting to tell friends/family how I really feel about veganism vs just keeping quiet and going with the flow. 99% of the time I am the type of person/vegan that is very accepting of everyone because I know each individual is on their own journey and I can’t force anyone to change their ways.. but there are times that, on the inside, I feel like all I want to do is tell people how I really feel. Yes, I’m a really kind person and try my best not to be judge mental, but I AM vegan for a reason, it’s not something that just magically happened one day! I am super passionate about it and I feel so tired of making up some BS excuses when people ask me why I’m vegan like “oh better health” or “the environment” like YES those things are valid but I feel like if I say what I’m truly thinking (ummm.. the animals?! So that other beings don’t have to suffer?? So that my actions are aligned with my values??) people F R E A K out. So I just try to just lead by example...but honestly sometimes it can be hard 😥 this video helped so much. I thank you for speaking honestly and openly 💕 You give me courage to be more honest + open with my loved ones as well.
I think the new microphone situation makes the chewing noise way louder😄😄😄 It doesn't bother me. I actually enjoyed it😄
Love your points about vegans!
Great rant. Our choices are influenced by our genes and life experience, but what makes our human experience precious is the ability to choose. People with negative experiences and genes can still make the effort to make loving choices. When you make an ethical, moral choice that was not taught or learned, that is when our souls are progressing and the reason we are here.
//screams into the void// ANIMALS ARE FRIENDS, NOT FOOD.
Yes!!! I have been having a rough couple of days lately because of family taunting or what they like to call "how they show love." It has really been getting me fired up and wanting to yell and scream and shut them all out of my life. I really feel like I needed this video today. To see that someone else is well... Angry. Thank you for this video. It literally showed up at the perfect time. ♥️♥️ That hotdog looked bomb! And the mic sounded super good!
I want to see more fired-up Rose on this channel. 😃
yes, top shelf rant!
SAME!!!🤘🖖
SAME 🙌🏻🔥👏🏻🌱
kimchi hotdog with potato carrot cheese sauce is one of my favorite junk foods! I cannot think about it without wanting to go buy the ingredients!
I 100% agree with everything you said. Finding the balance between advocating for the animals but also being a relatively approachable person is difficult. I find people are okay when i say I’m vegan-most of the time-but if I ever go into why I’m vegan past the blanket statement that it’s “for the animals, the planet and my health” people immediately get turned off it doesn’t matter seem to matter how I approach explaining it they don’t want to listen. If if they don’t want to listen why would they ask in the first place it’s just infuriating like they asked me the questions and then I answered it. my answers are never angry or aggressive. they are factually backed responses but because it challenges their belief they don’t like my answer. somehow I’m the asshole vegan because they can’t come to terms with their own cognitive dissonance, somehow that’s my fault? I understand it’s hard to get over it but I’m not just spouting this every two seconds to shove down people’s throats I’m usually prompt to answer so it’s just confusing and frustrating.
Great topic!! Just went to visit my mom last week and she was going on and on about me being vegan. She asked me how long I was going to keep this up! She doesn’t get it yet and I’ve been vegan for little over 2 years.
Really enjoyed the rant, gave me a lot of commonality since I frequently feel frustrated in oh so many discussions. Thanks for sharing, you left a lot of food for thought! :)
Your anger toward cognitive dissonance is giving me life 🙌🏼💚😂
Girl, YES. Sometimes I don't want to speak up when necessary because I don't want others to feel "attacked", but then again the animals and our climate don't give a f*ck about people's feelings. That's how I went vegan, vegans hurt my feelings, made me feel the guilt and so I changed. I'm not a militant vegan by any means but now everytime someone questions veganism I say "why the heck are you against a cause that aims to cause the least amount of suffering possible? Check your morals."
I really needed to hear this today! I've been trying so hard to gain approval from my meat-eating family and friends that I've almost forgotten why I went vegan in the first place.
Great video ^u^
ROSE!! Thank you so much for this. The animals need your voice!! I’m so proud of you for saying this!!!!
As someone who has been transitioning over to veganism, you make so many great points. My family refers to me going vegan as “going to the dark side” like I’m the one in the wrong here and make fun of my beliefs. I’ve been dairy free and have not eaten fish or any land animals for just shy of a year now. The last thing I’ve been having a hard time letting go of is shrimp and crab. But you’ve brought up some valid points. Why am I still allowing the conditioning of it’s okay to still eat crustaceans from time to time because it’s not in line with what I believe in. This video may just be the push I needed so thank you for this rant.
I love your energy in this rose and the message is perfect! dont feel so alone anymore
I have a thing about loud eaters, so the chewing sounds had me twitching lol but love a good rant video ❤💙💚💛🧡💜
I'm the same way. I think the microphone makes it sound worse than it really is lol.
I hear ya. I'm not a fan of mukangs because I really don't enjoy watching, and moreso HEARING, people eat. But I don't want to miss what my favorite RUclipsrs have to say so I continue to suffer through this mukbang trend.
Pretty much all eating videos are like that...
Emmers1983 hahaha aw. Maybe it will grow on you 😝
@@wesleyjimenez755 I know think many are normally (apart from the horrible "asmr" ones 🤢). Any I've normally seen you just see them eating but don't hear everything going on in their mouths. Which that I'm happy to watch as it's just the sounds of loud chewing and such that I hate lol
Ugh! Thank you for this video! PREACH, sister! ✨🙌🏻
The munching is so funny to me but I love that you aren't afraid to chow down in front of people the way you do and promote veganism. 🙌💗 Love it!
I wasn't having a good day emotionally you lift me up girl thanks for the encouragement...you look pretty without full face make up..brows nice!!!
I like the mic...ASMR is a pretty normal part of a mukbang!
This video is too real! I’ve been trying to find my balance with this for years. Speaking up, but not being a dick about it, but not getting pushed around either. You’re right, it’s so ridiculous that everyone believes that animal cruelty is wrong, but they don’t want to be judged for contributing to it. We need to keep showing up and speaking up. Great video. The animals need people to speak up for them
It still sometimes bothers me when I talk about the ethics of going vegan with family and friends, which doesn’t happen very often cause I don’t like confrontation, that no matter what I say about animal suffering and cruelty, they just try to end the conversation and get back to eating whatever dead animal they have on their plate. And I swear the next time someone I’m with says to me when eating out, “That’s looks good! I would eat that,” while eating their meal of animal products, I really want to say, “Then why don’t you?” It’s kinda lonely being the only vegan in my immediate and extended family as well as close friend group 😔
this is sooo important to talk about!! i love your videos (:
This video has the word mukbang in the title. So.... I was not surprised or disgusted to hear chewing noises 😋. The new microphone seems to be working well. I luv your personality and content. 😍
Rose, you are so eloquent and amazing! I loved this video, and I’ve been frustrated about this forever. You should do more rants because they are necessary!
Also this looks so delicious and I’ll definitely be on the look out for your ebook ❤️
god yessss every time i watch when you talk about this topic i’m like yesss that’s exactly what i try to tell people. i hate coming off as judgmental cos it’s like i’m not perfect so why try and tell someone else about how they’re living their life. i feel as though vegans get judge wayyy more by meat eaters than vise versa. i see it everyday on social media. and i also hate when people say well you’re just one person, you can’t change anything. BULLSHIT, like you said what if martin luther would’ve never spoke up?? god yes rose thank you!!! i could go on and on. thank you for these mukbangs. they’re my fav!!!❤️❤️
it's so weird how vegans are the ones given the label for NOT contributing to the mass exploitation of animals. like, where are the labels for those who AREN'T racist, homophobic, misogynistic, etc??? that's doesn't exist, it's just called being a decent human being. that's why i like flipping the script and using the 'carnist' label for non-vegans. THEY are the ones actively paying for and contributing to the suffering of animals, and should be labeled as such.
Rose I loved this mukbang! It is true...finding the balance between being judgmental vs appealing to omnivores by being quiet and complacent. Can you maybe do a future mukbang about how your approach has changed as you age (maybe not just veganism but other humanitarian issues as well)? Now that I have reached my early 30’s I find myself being less “in your face” about my moral convictions due to exhaustion of receiving judgment and rude behavior from omnivores 9 times out of 10; yet, at times I almost feel disappointed in myself for not speaking out enough, for basically handling omnivores with kid gloves. It would be awesome to hear about your evolution from early 20’s to now (although you were not vegan in your early 20’s, your transformation started well before you went full vegan). I would love to see a video speaking about this, and perhaps other viewers are in their 30’s or older as well. Things do change as we age. Thank you for this video and I appreciate you and your channel as well as what you’re doing for the movement!
Awesome rant! It actually put a lot of my same feelings about this topic into words. Also, I love your mukbang Mondays! I find the sounds to be soothing.
There’s a lot of truth in what you’re talking about and I understand why you are so passionate about it. I probably wouldn’t be able to talk about it for so long without bursting into tears (I’m a crybaby and it makes it difficult sometimes to talk about stuff and be taken seriously). I do think though it might have come of better to people who are not vegan yet if it was expressed in a little calmer manner. I absolutely do get you and support you, and it’a an important thing to talk about. I hope that people who just came here to watch you eat this yummy sub will also stay for what you have to say. :)
I think a similar discourse could be done for climate and pollution situations. I hate when people are aware of the problems, they are sad for the marine wildlife, but they don't do absolutely anything to change at least one part of their behaviours to improve the situation.. because it is too "difficult".
At the same time, it is frustrating when people talk about the strange climate but they don't ask why the situation is like this.
Thank you Rose. I needed to hear this. I love animals & need congruence.
I when to a vegan festival the other day it was great I never been to one before it was so nice to go somewhere where we could eat all the food without worrying and the food was delicious we will definitely go again
Omni's pick on us to rationalize their version of normalcy
Rose, this video was perfect - I love chewing sounds (why I watch mukbangs lol) and you really just spoke exactly how I’ve felt for years but haven’t consciously thought it. I am vegan, and I always say to people “don’t worry etc you can eat meat in front of me” but I’m kinda giving the wrong message. And I shouldn’t be so chill. It’s just so hard to say anything because then all of a sudden we go from 0-100 and people think of us as the “militant” vegan. So hard to find balance
YES, QUEEN. Go off! I relate so hard to what you are expressing here
This is literally what I need right now! 😭🙋🏼♀️😋
I used to comment on other commenters who commented on a youtube video on how to spot dog meat in chinese. One of my friends who dissuading others from dairy products is being judged as crazy & passionate a/ nothing. The guy is a doctor simply telling the truth that it’s not normal for grown humans to drink other mammals’ breast milk. The funny thing is those people who judge this doctor actually found adult humans drinking human breast milk kinky & weird. He & I always roll our eyes when someone said we need cows milk for strong bones. The moment i learned the truth that we actually don’t need it for strong bones (after i had a lengthy conversation w/ him 1st time the topic came up), i was so glad to be able to stop buying milk, butter, cheese & yogurt. I’d rather eat kimchi & sauerkraut for probiotics and eat my raw or honey roasted almonds for strong bones. Keep up the good work Rose
I am close friends with someone who generally doesnt like vegans and doesn't agree with veganism. It's difficult when she calls me a 'cool vegan' compared to other vegans but I do know that I am having small positive influences on her. If I was judgemental and talked about veganism all the time to her it would push her away from the idea. But because I don't do that, she seems to be more inclined towards veganism now. It's just about people's psychologies. I think it's just situational to see which method of activism would work best for each person
Oh my god, you are on fire. I love it. Thank you. I deal with this all the time
Honestly I became a quiet vegatarian/vegan (not 100% vegan yet, trying) because I realised that there's no point in trying to reason with people who are too blind and set in their beliefs to admit their hypocrisy. When people are open to have an intelligent conversation I will stand up for myself and call them out but I stopped trying to have conversations with people who only see the food and not the animals. You can plant a seed if they're truly ignorant about animal cruelty (who is at this point) but in the end it's them who will have to make the connection. If they want to stay blind let them deal with their conscience, I'm just glad I don't have that on my shoulders anymore (shows them how nice it is to be guilt-free !)
I had to keep fast forwarding to avoid the eating sounds, but I really really wanted to listen to what you had to say 😅That sub/hot dog looked really delicious though!!
OMG that looks amazing! This is so going on my weekly meal planner this week!
As a cashier I was checking someone’s groceries and they started going on to someone about how much they hate animal abusers and how they should go to jail and so on and I was literally scanning a bunch of meat products.... I was like wtf how can they not see this.
I always think you have to meet people where they are or they can’t see you...
if somebody says vegans are on a moral high horse as an insult what they are doing is trying to drag you down to their level instead of having the guts to learn something and raise they’re own level and join you. So my response to that is “thank you would you like a ride”. Obviously vegans don’t ride horses etc but it’s a way to turn the tables.
If they can dissociate themselves from the horror of what happens in slaughterhouses, they can live with eating meat. If the "animal lovers" had to see someone do to their dog or cat what is done to cows, pigs, chickens, sheep and goats on a daily basis, it would be more difficult for them to deal with. I don't think most people think of cruelty, they just remain ignorant of the facts so they can deal.
Blinders on, yep.
You should do a what I eat in a day on a day that you film a mukbang so that we can see how this larger meal affects the other meals that you eat throughout the day!! 🤗
I love the chewing sounds combined with the visual - it gives me one helluva appetite! lol ;-)
I’ve been kind of faced with this dilemma of being vegan for myself, and promoting it to other people. I don’t post about it often unless I get some really good vegan food somewhere, and sometimes I make vegan recommendations on my instagram story. But, I don’t post about it actively because people attack and I don’t want that. I don’t torture myself by looking at slaughterhouse footage either because I didn’t need that to go vegan in the first place, I knew what was right and wrong and I know that’s rare... I follow several different types of vegans but I don’t know it’s such a touchy subject of whether you promote or not..
Dropping some truth bombs here!! I love how middle way you are also laughing at yourself for being so serious and ranting. You are a perfect balance :D
Gurl, that rant was AMAZING! You nailed it ahahah
I absolutely love this set of carrots on the side. i am in love with kimchi i make my own for years now however i never cook it dont want to kill the probiatic properties.
eating goldfish was a thing in the 60s, go to a party, dance a little and enter the live goldfish eating contest. wierd!!
vegans are being heard, the plant based alternatives are growing in numbers in my shitty animal-heavy Acme market.
I literally thought a couple days ago that I wanted your moms kimchi recipe! Thank you!
I love your rants so much. It's so damn nice to hear someone say everything I am thinking and feeling but won't speak out on because all it does it make people even more defensive and honestly I'm tired of always having to argue with people. I really need some vegan friends...
I have just eaten, and now I'm hungry again edit: liking the rant, i recognise myself in your feelings, i don't know any other vegans or vegetarians in real life, so i probably don't speak up enough, i try to do my part by leading by example, it's a lonely life sometimes, luckily we have the internet
Rose I love you!!! You speak truth in EVERY WORD.
The huge hotdog reminds me of my hometown (São Paulo, Brazil)! They’re a big staple of the local street food culture
You have made transitioning easier.My family loves with food. Mostly with steak and meat loaf.They love animals, but judge me for not eating it.So I rebuttal with love for all animals even ugly ones. I love your rants. You inspire me to just be me. Keep up the good fight #veganstrong
I love organic natural vegan, with high fruits and salats... and also good cooked food and veggie burgers sometimes, the best happened to me 💚
Hey Rose I have one question Where's my hot dog? That hot dog looks yummers and baby carrots are my favorite!
Can you do a recipe vid for this? It looks so good
The chewing sounds are too much for me, but I still love watching these and your rants especially :D
I’ve always been about uplifting other people no matter what their values and their stances on their vegan journey. I think everybody will make healthier plant-based choices in their lives at one point, but it’s definitely not true to love animals while eating them. It’s consent to suffering and murder. No question about it!
I cant deal with vegans who throw other vegans under the bus because they want to be seen as a "cool vegan." The only way to be a "cool vegan," in most meat eaters' eyes, is to shut up about it 100% of the time, and then when they say, "is it okay if I eat meat in front of you?" then the cool vegan coddles them and says "oh yeah, it's totally okay, I have zero problem with it, eating meat is 100% acceptable!" Ugh.. meat eaters are so desperate to get a vegan's approval. We dont have to start yelling at them when they ask that or anything, but we also shouldn't be coddling them and giving them the impression that its 100% okay to eat animals.
Yikes, you could literally just tell them it's not your decision to make for them or that you should think about the animal being exploited for your meal more than the vegan sitting next to you.
Angel L, nicely said.
@@angeliparraguirre7329 well said :)
I just tell them I will never like seeing people eat meat but that I'm not going to lecture them. That's not my job. I will show them why they should be vegan by example.
@@angeliparraguirre7329 what do you mean "yikes"? I dont even say it as bluntly as you did above. When a meat eater asks me if it's okay if they eat animals in front of me, I say something like, "it doesn't make me uncomfortable personally, but it's not about me, it's about the animal." So just it's not coddling them, but also not yelling at them. What you said above is much more aggressive than what I usually say, so I not sure why your reaction is "yikes"?
Are you eating on a cutting board? Is that your normal plate? You make good points here again. I think people need to get over themselves. If someone criticizes you for doing something hurtful and unnecessary, if you have a conscience, you will just keep quiet and take it. The first I heard of veganism was when people brought up the hypocrisy and cruelty of eating animals. It wasn't about joining some hipster subculture of people trying to get in shape and pose on the internet while claiming to love animals and the earth. Those people have dropped away now and eat animals and buy their byproducts for their homes.
The mic is great, and your brows are fantastic!
“‘Vegans are judgemental’ really?? No, you’re just hypocritical.” YESSSSSS! I LOVE YOU!!! Also, that hot dog looks incredible ❤️
Notification squad! I love you!! Please try Indonesian food :D
Okay I just have to say you’re so beautiful without makeup like ur makeup is awesome when you wear it but ugh 😍😍
I totally agree with you about explaining why i am vegan to my fellow vegetarian and non vegetarian human beings.
I can’t even imagine what that would taste like but it looks so good!
You're videos always make me so hungry! Love your cooking and love your message!
A mukbang prbly isn’t the best thing to watch when you’re STARVING and stuck on the bus ride home. 😂😂😂
yay, another "Rose Rants" video. the new mic is great, especially for rants!
If you ask me Rose it's intellectually contradictory because omni's love their cats and dogs but yet have no problem eating a turkey sandwich with mayo
Yes, not "animal lovers," but rather "cat and dog lovers." They should use the right words.
@@tamcon72 I agree cat and dog lover is the more politically correct term.
I love the extra loud chewing. Is that odd? 😂
Mic works really well picks up every sound
Yes!!!!! Nice ripe kimchi on a vegan hotdog is soooooooo good 😍
He’s vegan now. The guy that went viral for eating the goldfish 🙌🏽
love watching ur videos when im eating thx
I'm enjoying your ranting...👀 However, I'm watching this while working out, during intermittent fasting. My belly is SO JELLY!😌😂
