This is by far one of the most underrated shows on RUclips. Lots of respect and profound gratitude for this, ultimately having impacted my lifestyle and health.
I love the idea of “food as medicine”. My good friend, who lost about 100 lbs by changing his diet and lifestyle, likes to say that too many people “eat for sport and not for nutrition”. And that “America has the best professional eaters on the planet” 😅. Great video as always!!!
My husband is Italian and he made that exact observation once when we went back for a visit . Being American I’d never thought about it like that, but it’s true. We eat to fill a void, or something… it’s like eating IS our culture 😅
😂 ' Eat for sport' literally true! Watching the food channel, i see competition in diners for the amount of unhealthy food that can be chomped in a given time! Then u don't pay!
We were recently on a trip that included a Chinese group. The Asians had a great time, walking, exercising and laughing. The Americans on the group complained about everything and refused to walk even a few hundred yards. Of course, the Americans were gobbling heavy American food while the Asians ate sushi and more traditional food. We hung out with the Asians even though we are Anglo.
Thanks for your comment.After 30 years in the usa 🇺🇸 still cannot understand why people here always talk non stop and complain about everything!! .best for you and your family.🙏🏻
We were on a cruise and the passengers were mostly Chinese. They ate more fruit and drank tea while we (Filipino) gorged on desserts and snacked on pizza and drank diet soda. 😅 I wasn't vegan then, but I haven't forgotten that observation.
Hahaha, thanks! It's fine though, I get to hear many perspectives. But interestingly I was reading the comments on an episode by Paul Mason, who denies LDL has anything to do with heart disease, and nothing but accolades. 🤷 No doctors or scientists weighed in though, like they do on my channel.
I think I speak for many when I assure you that the contributions you freely offer here are much appreciated; thanks for your devotion and consistent attention to detail and critical thinking.
Chris, you're the man. 11 minutes in, and wanting to send all the positive vibes to cure any comment section woes. Not only have you cleared up confusions I had about nutrition, but your double episode on hyper-palatability has given me a very effective framework for my weight loss journey. Happy to say I'm still losing 2 lbs per week with a full belly and a happy mind since your video with Terra Fazzino!
You and Nutrition Made Simple are my go-to channels for trustworthy information on health and diet. I have family and friends who are caught up in corporate sponsored diet disinformation, but I'm not susceptible to the propaganda, because of you. Thank you for your service to truth and society.
I’m a 7th day Adventist. The main difference is We rest on the sabbath and do not overwork. It makes a huge difference. Adventist already abstain from pork and many fish. We promote a plant based eating style as well.
Great videos . Very helpful ! Im a physician in Canada. Giving a talk on nutrition soon. Your ability to dig up hard to find books and articles is great. I too am a big fan of Gil Carvalho. Keep up the great work.
Thank you. Just found your videos. I will return again and again. I am 77 and I've improved my health greatly in the last three yrs w a wfpb. My problem is my family gives me grief limiting my access to grandkids. Never tried to influence the kids and just answer their questions the best I can. It makes it tough. Thank you I need your videos to help me through this challenge.
Really appreciate your channel. Also enjoyed your motorcycle channel. Common interests. My wife and I have been vegan for 29 years. Steadily have moved towards whole foods plant based. For us I think the evidence shows we made the correct decision. My wife is a mirror image twin. Sadly her twin who ate the SAD, died from a brain aneurism. She had most of the common health problems associated with a heavy animal based diet. I live with Marfan Syndrome. I have already surpassed my life expectancy by more than 20 years. I have managed my issues by listening to my body and experimenting. I avoid doctor's and the American health care system. From reading the China Study I surmised that doctors and hospitals kill about a half million people a year in the U.S.. Great video. Always look forward to your next one.
It’s not science, but it’s hard to ignore the things we observe first hand, and not draw some conclusions. The longest living people I ever knew personally were 1) my great grandmother. She was a German Jew that died at age 98. 2) my long time ex’s grandfather. He was a Haitian Seventh day Adventist. Died at 96. 3) my wife’s grandfather. He was Thai and died at 104. One white, one black, one East asian. The only common thing amongst the three I can think of was that they all were either vegan or very close to it.
Just keep these how to live to a 100 videos coming Chris, absolute gold! You are literally saving lives. This is like a road map for longevity and the best bit is it's so simple (not easy though).
You, sir, are one of the people who gives me hope for the human species. These days I need examples like yours to try to stay positive about the world. Thank you for your humor, passion, and persistence!
Please know that I really appreciate your venture for the truth above all else, and your compassion to the world around you. In many ways I wish you were younger so we could see your influence spread as far as possible, but then I suppose we wouldn't have your previous knowledge and experience. You're the archetype of truthful information.
As a Seventh day Adventist I'd love to have a full episode on our health message and lifestyle. Unfortunately many of us are rejecting our health principles which is something I think is unfortunate.
Loneliness is epidemic, especially for the mature population. So instead of having a conversation with a friend, I post comments on RUclips. Kind of sad when you think about it.
Happy Mother’s Day to your adorable wife and daughter ❤ What a lovely family - please keep doing what you’re doing. All of your videos are like healthy discourse for my soul.
@@Viva-Longevity no - I meant your daughter who is the vegetable whisperer. (My daughter eats literally no sugar basically on her own accord she is 6) I am convinced it gets socialized into us.) It’s really hard when you are the bad guy though to friends and grandparents who think it’s such a treat. She takes the pieces of cake or what have you politely and just hands it to me and quietly says- it’s not healthy dad. At Halloween she trades me her candy and we go buy a toy. -Please keep changing the world. Lauren is adorable though 🥰
Hi, Chris! I am beyond thrilled to have found your channel recently!!! I've been happily and healthfully following a plant-based diet with my hubby for 10 years now, and as a person who's been interested in nutrition my entire (long!) adult life, I'm loving your passion for the subject which absolutely matches my own. Your much-needed meticulous attention to the science is fantastic, and I am so enjoying delving into many of the books you feature in your beautiful videos. I really can't thank you enough. I am binge-watching, occasionally re-watching, taking copious notes, and sending links to your channel to friends and family. Love it all, and AGAIN, thanks!!!
Your videos are so enjoyable, beautiful, dynamic and informative. I find it adorable that you always include pictures of you, your kids, grandkids, your lovely wife appears in your videos and even the doggie❤. So 🥰 cute. They are happy, feel good videos, despite the heavy topic 😂of longevity. Thank you for your work. Plants, plants, plants. Peace. Love❤
Hi, Chris. If you're open to ideas, here are two suggestions for future videos: 1. Oxalate Toxicity (Sally K. Norton) 2. Vitamin A Toxicity (Grant Genereux) As is apparent from the many rave reviews for your many fantastic videos, you (and your wonderful family) are loved and appreciated by a lot of people -- myself included.
Best episode yet! So funny and intelligent. I love that you have a climate change warning on your video! You are an earth scientist and agree with the warning. Yay for walking after eating. Yay for eating until 80% full. Yay for fruit for dessert. Yay for slow eating with family. Yay for food as medicine!
Oh my gosh! I had no idea you worked for general magic!! We watched that documentary in one of my CS classes at school. The greatest contribution to technology that nobody knows about. How cool! Thanks for another entertaining episode. I love your content so much.
I love your videos! I'm on faculty at Loma Linda University and work with some of the people who work on the Adventist Health Study. (In fact, I'm working on a paper on diet and cognitive performance with some colleagues, including Joan Sabate, right now.) I'm not SDA, but it's really interesting to observe how much a healthy lifestyle is part of their faith. The funny thing is that my lifestyle has been like that of the strictest Adventists since long before I knew anything about them. I hope that means I'll live as long and as healthily as they do!
Oh!!! Please email me if you can: plantchompers at gmail. I’ve been dying to interview someone involved in the study because I’m so big a fan, but I can’t get through to Gary Fraser and Dr. Orlich turned me down. As you can see from the interview with Michelle, I can do very high quality, very respectful interviews. Those studies need more airtime! I will be down there May 24th to be interviewed by Simon Hill and could bring my camera gear!
Several months ago I saw a video that you made about skin health, and the cream that you used for your skin cancer has had phenomenal results, it's incredible how much younger you look here.
I have nothing but respect for people who do the uncomfortable but right thing. Thank you for using this platform the way you do! I'm not American but German and I was concerned by the statistics that Germans have one of the lower expected living ages in Europe although we are one of the richest countries with highly accessible health care. I came to the same conclusion that our nutrition plays a big part in it. But also how we work, how we have less time to cook or walk or care for family, for sports, hobbies etc. We also often lack our own houses or gardens we could work on (ergo getting daily movement). And we, as a culture, really like to complain a lot lol. I can only argue that my personal health has extremely improved since I switched jobs (less work and also less money, but more time to cook healthy and walk a lot everyday with my partner, starting to lift as a hobby, stop spending my money on BS etc). Our minds and bodies have to align to be healthy. Money alone can't buy that, but it helps (in buying better quality food, affording to take time off and investing in healthy habits instead of just consume more stuff).
Tatsächlich scheint Einkommen aber auch eine sehr große Rolle zu spielen, denn die Schweizer haben die zweithöchste, aber essen unglaublich viel Butter und Käse. Schweizer sind durchschnittlich sehr zufrieden mit ihrem Leben und haben public healthcare, aber arbeiten auch sehr viel und teilen viele negative Aspekte mit der deutschen Kultur. Mir ist aufgefallen, dass viele nicht zu ihren Check Ups gehen, gerade wurde jemand mit einem Blutdruck über 200 diagnostiziert und war noch nie beim Arzt zum Check Up. Das wurde auch bei den Erklärungen zur schlechten Lebenserwartung gebracht. Wo kommst Du her? Ich komme aus dem bergischen, das ist zwar Milch dominiert, aber mit sehr vielen Bauerneintöpfen, Obst und Schwarzbrot. Die alten Leute, die traditionell leben, fahren mit 90 noch Fahrrad und Auto.
Plagues of Prosperity is a pretty much a good description of alot of what is going on here in America. I don't drink or smoke, but I do have a problem eating sweets, I make sure to avoid bringing the sweets into the house.
I will boost you up Chris! I love watching your videos. I don't have any tv shows I watch regularly or get excited about, but when I see you have a new video out my heart smiles! I am a plant-based RD and weight loss coach and love that you can boil down some complicated science for me and my clients. I recommend you all the time!
Thank you so much for your research and for putting the links to it in your description! I will be linking to this video to reinforce my citations of the Adventist Studies. I didn't know about the one comparing SDA's with other Americans who don't smoke etc. So often claims are made that the only reason SDA's live so long are the other variables besides diet. I point out that those SDA's who don't eat meat are healthier and live longer than those who do, but that study will really help!
My parents are native Chinese. This is Chinese people typical diet, morning, pork bun (refined carb and high salt) or instant noodle (processed, refined carb and high salt). Noodle, refined carb, white rice, high salt constitute large part of their diet. Hence, official average life span of Chinese are around 75, given their less advanced medical system and drug industry. It is arguably healthier than Americans but not that much. Albeit the old generation is much healthier than the younger ones (plagued by ultra process food).
Superb video! My mantra for a long life is "Eat plants, have a positive outlook, do good, and smile." It's a good way to recenter the focus in a chaotic and complex world shouting different things lol 🇵🇷🇵🇷🇵🇷
Great video Chris. My wife and I enjoy challenging ourselves by taking recipes from a wide range of cuisines from cookbooks, including Asian/Indian, and adjusting them to fit out plant-based eating (though these particular cuisines tend to require very minimal adjustments). They always highlight very fresh and aromatic ingredients
I lived in Germany gor 20 years & the mindset towards food is very different than in the US. First you don't want to appear "gluttonous" & pile up food on your plate, you always eat properly (never in a rush, always sitting down w/ proper utensils) & food is seasonal, fresh & local. Eating processed & junk foods are seen as a character flaw.
Thanks. I’ve been wondering how your show can be so professionally assembled. This explained it. Of course the underlying research is what pulled me in and kept me coming back.
I'm vegan for the animals not for health. I come from an engineer family we all die young because of the stress that comes from our jobs. It's great to hear that some vegans manage to get very old and stay fit till late in life. That's awesome. I still think the main reason for being vegan should be the animals tho. Have a great day and thank you for the video.
I used to have a friend that was very uneducated, high school drop out drug addict. He had this impression that we didn't know how disease works and didn't know how to prevent being a decrepit old person slowly dying from all kinds of ailments. Its heart breaking to think of after having studied nutrition for the last 5 years and being fairly well read on it now, knowing how wrong he was, that he always said he didn't want to get old because it meant being sick and nonfunctional, so he planned on overdosing on drugs so he didn't have to suffer old age. If only he knew how to look after himself.
I hope you wil do those videos, those gifts for a very long time…. I really do. Beside that, the fantastic drop in life expectancy in ‘20 still remain murky to my eye…. Thank you very much.
I look forward to each of your clips. I am eating a more plant based whole food diet and want to learn more about a healthy lifestyle....for me. Mr. Phillips Canada retired & 67 years young
Amazing video, as always!!! Thank you for taking your time to put out this incredibly important message in such an easy to understand and super entertaining way.
I’m glad we went to all that effort to program our actuarial tables to reflect the improvements in mortality that were CERTAIN to arise. Other than missing the magnitude and direction of change,, we were spot on.
Good video. These types of videos help me put together my own nutrition and well being philosophy. There is so much misinformation around nutrition, some of it promoted by industry lobbyists. But there is also something going on in America right now where the most popular people in any field of study are often the ones with the least rational and researched basis. I won't get into politics but the same thing is happening where the flag waiving self proclaimed patriots act in ways that go against democracy.
I am so glad I found your channel. You said exactly what I have been telling my unwilling friends and family for quite some time. I plan to share your video with them and hope some of them will actually view it and give it some thought.
Been a big fan of you, Gil and Simon for a long time. I went to a McDougall seminar in 1992 and subscribe to his diet. I loved that both you and your guest both validated McDougall’s stance on white race.
Hello Chris. My comment is not related to this video but this seemed the best shot you would see it. You have called Marion Nestle a national treasure. I agree. I know another one. You. Thank you, sir. Your pre-Plant Chompers story is fascinating and I only know some of it. I hope you consider an autobiography some day. Best to you and your family.
Ha! Thanks! I just sat for an interview with Simon Hill, who I admire deeply, and I thought he was going to focus on nutrition, but he got me to tell all kinds of crazy stories about my background. We'll see what the reaction to that is when it comes out. 😁
This channel just keeps getting better and better! It's changing my life and starting conversations with the people I love. Keep up your great work! Thank you, Chris! Still looking forward to your "what I eat in a week" episode and would love to hear more about meal planning for children.
I'm finding the headline graph particularly fascinating (personally). While I maintained my vegan ways throughout the pandemic, I eventually noticed that I had developed a bad sweet tooth eating lots of sweets and processed food (along with less exercise). I eventually took a long look in the mirror and raised myself to a higher standard of exercise and diet, as I read the graph it seems for many the coping mechanisms went off the rails and have not returned. Another perspective might be that many Americans were already living a lifestyle very close to death before the pandemic, and the pandemic sent them over the edge. At any rate, it should not be a lower level (sorry Chris) diet vlogger bringing this to our attention, It should be politicians, news media, actors and sports stars. But that is not the case. I don't think we'll be able to sweep this under the rug.
One thing I didn’t comment on because no Asian I spoke to wanted to talk about it for fear of anti-Asian hate: their vaccination rates and mask wearing was much higher than other groups…
Most analysts think that a privatized health system is a factor in this life expectancy gap between the US and other countries with comparable income that have socialized medicine. As expected this video focuses on individual solutions to systemic issues, a framing that tends to unsurprisingly enhance social problems.
Thank you for having me on to speak about Asian culture. It was an honor! 🙏 Xiexie!
You did a great job! I loved it!
Sharing your experiences and knowledge of Chinese culture with us was great, thank you for that!
Very insightful interview, happy to have you in the community
Great interview! A pleasant surprise seeing you in the video! Interesting about the Chinese culture.
I appreciated your perspective! Thanks!
This is by far one of the most underrated shows on RUclips. Lots of respect and profound gratitude for this, ultimately having impacted my lifestyle and health.
I could not agree more!!
I also could not agree more! This channel is amazing! My favorite anywhere, not just here on RUclips.
My favourite youtube channel. Hands down. I never miss an episode. Thanks so much Chris. I certainly appreciate your efforts.
Seriously, though. I envy the production on this channel. It is freaking stellar.
Yeah. I would have a tough time trusting the other channels, if it weren't for this channel.
I love the idea of “food as medicine”. My good friend, who lost about 100 lbs by changing his diet and lifestyle, likes to say that too many people “eat for sport and not for nutrition”. And that “America has the best professional eaters on the planet” 😅.

Please keep doing what you’re doing. Your voice is important!
Food is processed for profit. Not only manufacturers, retail & food service; the health care industry cleaning up the damage for longterm profits 🤷🏻
Please know that I really appreciate your venture for the truth above all else, and your compassion to the world around you. In many ways I wish you were younger so we could see your influence spread as far as possible, but then I suppose we wouldn't have your previous knowledge and experience. You're the archetype of truthful information.
As a Seventh day Adventist I'd love to have a full episode on our health message and lifestyle. Unfortunately many of us are rejecting our health principles which is something I think is unfortunate.
Loneliness is epidemic, especially for the mature population. So instead of having a conversation with a friend, I post comments on RUclips. Kind of sad when you think about it.
Happy Mother’s Day to your adorable wife and daughter ❤

I’ve shared your “How Long Do Health Influencers Live?” series with friends and family and converted them to plant based.
Yeah right
Wow amazing
This channel and you are amazing. Love from Brazil 🇧🇷
Hi, Chris! I am beyond thrilled to have found your channel recently!!!

One of my favorite channels!
Your videos are so enjoyable, beautiful, dynamic and informative. I find it adorable that you always include pictures of you, your kids, grandkids, your lovely wife appears in your videos and even the doggie❤. So 🥰 cute. They are happy, feel good videos, despite the heavy topic 😂of longevity. Thank you for your work. Plants, plants, plants. Peace. Love❤
Hi, Chris. If you're open to ideas, here are two suggestions for future videos:
1. Oxalate Toxicity (Sally K. Norton)
2. Vitamin A Toxicity (Grant Genereux)
As is apparent from the many rave reviews for your many fantastic videos, you (and your wonderful family) are loved and appreciated by a lot of people -- myself included.
I love this channel. All the things suggested are easy to incorporate into daily life and almost all are totally free. Fab ❤
Loved the video and the guest. She is such a joyful and knowledgeable person 👌
Thank you, you’re so sweet 🥰

I can and do eat a plant based diet and incorporate exercise throughout my day, no problem. But positivity? That's going to be a tough one 😅
Omg! Stanford is my hospital! I have congenital heart disease and I’m a huge fan of your channel !!
Always profoundly simple in your approach. Love from South Africa!
Chris is one of my favorite persons he's one of the good guys.
Very helpful and informational 👍🏻 appreciate the good work of this channel 👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻
“What are you doing with a Harrison Ford poster” 😂
Thank you for all the work. Incredible
Another gem extracted from Chris’ health mine. Thank you for all of your hard work.
The interview with Michelle was fascinating the idea of doctors being paid if they keep you healthy!!!
This channel should have way more subscribers!
Oh my gosh! I had no idea you worked for general magic!!
We watched that documentary in one of my CS classes at school. The greatest contribution to technology that nobody knows about. How cool!
Thanks for another entertaining episode. I love your content so much.

@@michelle_cen You were great, Michelle. I enjoyed your observations and ideas.
Do Adventists eat natto or take a vitamin K2 supplement? The amount of vitamin K2 in sauerkraut is too miniscule to cover daily needs.

Ich komme aus dem bergischen, das ist zwar Milch dominiert, aber mit sehr vielen Bauerneintöpfen, Obst und Schwarzbrot. Die alten Leute, die traditionell leben, fahren mit 90 noch Fahrrad und Auto.
I love you, your family(they're adorable) , and chanel. You are an inspiration. Thank you for doing this.
Your CV is truly impressive, Chris!! You have definitely become one of my personal heroes.
Plagues of Prosperity is a pretty much a good description of alot of what is going on here in America. I don't drink or smoke, but I do have a problem eating sweets, I make sure to avoid bringing the sweets into the house.
My favourite channel on RUclips by a long way. Thanks for the huge amount of work you put into these videos. I’ve loved every single one of them.
This channel never misses
I will boost you up Chris! I love watching your videos. I don't have any tv shows I watch regularly or get excited about, but when I see you have a new video out my heart smiles! I am a plant-based RD and weight loss coach and love that you can boil down some complicated science for me and my clients. I recommend you all the time!
Thanks so much!
Always a great day when I find a new video of yours! 🎉
You do it for us, your fans ;). In all seriousness, as soon as i see one of your videos pop up, i'll watch it. Keep doing what you do please.
Thank you so much for your research and for putting the links to it in your description! I will be linking to this video to reinforce my citations of the Adventist Studies. I didn't know about the one comparing SDA's with other Americans who don't smoke etc. So often claims are made that the only reason SDA's live so long are the other variables besides diet. I point out that those SDA's who don't eat meat are healthier and live longer than those who do, but that study will really help!
You are a great man and one I admire. A true hero .
But please, please don't stop. Your nutrition videos are so excellent.
Thank you. As as someone who eats a keto diet I still enjoy watching your content.
My parents are native Chinese. This is Chinese people typical diet, morning, pork bun (refined carb and high salt) or instant noodle (processed, refined carb and high salt). Noodle, refined carb, white rice, high salt constitute large part of their diet. Hence, official average life span of Chinese are around 75, given their less advanced medical system and drug industry. It is arguably healthier than Americans but not that much. Albeit the old generation is much healthier than the younger ones (plagued by ultra process food).
One of your best! The simple and clear and positive message is very effective.
It doesn’t have to be so complicated and technical.
Another excellent video! Thanks so much ❤
Superb video! My mantra for a long life is "Eat plants, have a positive outlook, do good, and smile."
It's a good way to recenter the focus in a chaotic and complex world shouting different things lol 🇵🇷🇵🇷🇵🇷
Great video Chris. My wife and I enjoy challenging ourselves by taking recipes from a wide range of cuisines from cookbooks, including Asian/Indian, and adjusting them to fit out plant-based eating (though these particular cuisines tend to require very minimal adjustments). They always highlight very fresh and aromatic ingredients
Love how you pack the real information in a well organized video! Excellent!
Thanks for always being honest and telling the truth, brother
I lived in Germany gor 20 years & the mindset towards food is very different than in the US. First you don't want to appear "gluttonous" & pile up food on your plate, you always eat properly (never in a rush, always sitting down w/ proper utensils) & food is seasonal, fresh & local. Eating processed & junk foods are seen as a character flaw.
Thanks for making this!
Another great video. What an extraordinary career you’ve had! I certainly appreciate that you’ve bought your talents to nutrition communication 😊🌱
Mongolia is one Asian country where the people don't each many vegetables. And their life expectancy is horrible.
Thanks. I’ve been wondering how your show can be so professionally assembled. This explained it.
Of course the underlying research is what pulled me in and kept me coming back.
I love this channel!
Great interview!
Another great video, thanks!
Asian cultures HONOR their elderly. Of course they will live longer, being loved, obeyed, honored, even worshipped.
Not as simple i would think.
I'm vegan for the animals not for health. I come from an engineer family we all die young because of the stress that comes from our jobs. It's great to hear that some vegans manage to get very old and stay fit till late in life. That's awesome. I still think the main reason for being vegan should be the animals tho. Have a great day and thank you for the video.
Thank you for making these videos! They are so important. Thank you.🙏
I used to have a friend that was very uneducated, high school drop out drug addict. He had this impression that we didn't know how disease works and didn't know how to prevent being a decrepit old person slowly dying from all kinds of ailments.
Its heart breaking to think of after having studied nutrition for the last 5 years and being fairly well read on it now, knowing how wrong he was, that he always said he didn't want to get old because it meant being sick and nonfunctional, so he planned on overdosing on drugs so he didn't have to suffer old age. If only he knew how to look after himself.
I hope you wil do those videos, those gifts for a very long time…. I really do. Beside that, the fantastic drop in life expectancy in ‘20 still remain murky to my eye…. Thank you very much.
I look forward to each of your clips. I am eating a more plant based whole food diet and want to learn more about a healthy lifestyle....for me.

You’re still a spring chicken!
Amazing video, as always!!! Thank you for taking your time to put out this incredibly important message in such an easy to understand and super entertaining way.
You're a Rock Star to some of us!
I’m glad we went to all that effort to program our actuarial tables to reflect the improvements in mortality that were CERTAIN to arise. Other than missing the magnitude and direction of change,, we were spot on.
Good video. These types of videos help me put together my own nutrition and well being philosophy. There is so much misinformation around nutrition, some of it promoted by industry lobbyists. But there is also something going on in America right now where the most popular people in any field of study are often the ones with the least rational and researched basis. I won't get into politics but the same thing is happening where the flag waiving self proclaimed patriots act in ways that go against democracy.
Amen
Another brilliant video,Chris,; you are a real inspiration for llifelong learning, curiosity and a dash of humour along the way.
I am so glad I found your channel. You said exactly what I have been telling my unwilling friends and family for quite some time. I plan to share your video with them and hope some of them will actually view it and give it some thought.
Thank you so much for the work you are doing.
This was one of your better ones, and that's saying something! Thanks so much for posting; sharing : )
Been a big fan of you, Gil and Simon for a long time. I went to a McDougall seminar in 1992 and subscribe to his diet. I loved that both you and your guest both validated McDougall’s stance on white race.
*rice?
Hello Chris. My comment is not related to this video but this seemed the best shot you would see it. You have called Marion Nestle a national treasure. I agree. I know another one. You. Thank you, sir. Your pre-Plant Chompers story is fascinating and I only know some of it. I hope you consider an autobiography some day. Best to you and your family.
Ha! Thanks! I just sat for an interview with Simon Hill, who I admire deeply, and I thought he was going to focus on nutrition, but he got me to tell all kinds of crazy stories about my background. We'll see what the reaction to that is when it comes out. 😁
Another wonderful episode Chris. Thank you.
Thanks for another great episode! Always a treat.
You’ve had such cool careers!
Wonderful content....you rock!
This channel just keeps getting better and better! It's changing my life and starting conversations with the people I love. Keep up your great work! Thank you, Chris! Still looking forward to your "what I eat in a week" episode and would love to hear more about meal planning for children.
I'm finding the headline graph particularly fascinating (personally). While I maintained my vegan ways throughout the pandemic, I eventually noticed that I had developed a bad sweet tooth eating lots of sweets and processed food (along with less exercise). I eventually took a long look in the mirror and raised myself to a higher standard of exercise and diet, as I read the graph it seems for many the coping mechanisms went off the rails and have not returned.
Another perspective might be that many Americans were already living a lifestyle very close to death before the pandemic, and the pandemic sent them over the edge.
At any rate, it should not be a lower level (sorry Chris) diet vlogger bringing this to our attention, It should be politicians, news media, actors and sports stars. But that is not the case. I don't think we'll be able to sweep this under the rug.
One thing I didn’t comment on because no Asian I spoke to wanted to talk about it for fear of anti-Asian hate: their vaccination rates and mask wearing was much higher than other groups…
Most analysts think that a privatized health system is a factor in this life expectancy gap between the US and other countries with comparable income that have socialized medicine. As expected this video focuses on individual solutions to systemic issues, a framing that tends to unsurprisingly enhance social problems.
