    Hey guys, it's Charlotte here and in today's video, we're going to be diving into a highly debated topic - vegans vs non-vegans. Now, before we start, I want to make it clear that I'm not here to judge anyone's lifestyle choices. Instead, I want to explore both sides of the argument and shed some light on the reasons why people choose to either go vegan or continue eating meat.
    First, let's talk about the vegans. Vegans choose to avoid all animal products, including meat, dairy, and even honey. They do this for a variety of reasons, including ethical concerns for animal welfare, environmental sustainability, and personal health. Many vegans argue that it's wrong to consume animal products because animals are sentient beings that can feel pain and suffering just like humans. They also argue that animal agriculture is one of the leading contributors to environmental degradation and climate change.
    On the other hand, we have non-vegans who choose to continue consuming animal products. Many non-vegans argue that meat and dairy are an important part of their diet and provide essential nutrients that are difficult to obtain from plant-based sources alone. They also argue that humans have been consuming animal products for thousands of years and that it's natural for us to do so.
    However, it's important to note that not all non-vegans are the same. Some may choose to consume meat and dairy products from more sustainable and ethical sources, while others may not be as conscious about where their food comes from.
    Ultimately, the decision to go vegan or continue consuming animal products is a personal one. It's important to do your own research and make an informed decision based on your own values and beliefs. Both vegans and non-vegans can coexist and respect each other's choices without judgment or animosity.
    So, there you have it guys - a brief overview of the vegan vs non-vegan debate. Let me know in the comments what you think about this topic, and as always, don't forget to like and subscribe for more videos like this one!

    Our cook at camps was a vegan, she kept cooking meat for us and did special dishes for herself. She never tasted our portions therefore reqired one of us be there and do taste tests, we loved that as kids and loved her. She never put any pressure on us for eating meat, but she did educate us about the state of mass meat productions and showed us what we can change or do to get to meat that comes from good places. This is how you do veganism right. (she switched to being an vegetarian due to medical issues but is still the sweetest person I know).

      Amen to this! I have a number of vegan friends, and a few vegetarian or meat-reduced diet friends who moved towards those diets BECAUSE the vegan friends were not pushy and were respectful like this. Most people would eat a meat-reduced diet, at the very least (like meat 1 or 2 times a week if that), if they were not forced and were shown valid healthy reasons to do so. The more forceful the push to "change" the more people in an individualistic society will push back and be stubborn.

      As an omnivore, I have huge respect for vegans and vegetarians. I truely believe that veganism and vegetarianism will save the world. Growing meat is not only harmful for the animals themselves but also for the environment. Most of the farmland is being used to grow animal food. Also eating too much meat is bad for health. My gastroenteorologist told eating 3 servings of meat per week is enough and I believe her. Also all my vegan and vegetarian friends are the kindest people I know. But I know many aggressive omnivores who do not tire from manifesting their beliefs. So annoying.

      I’m not vegan, I’m not fully vegetarian either, because I do occasionally eat tuna in a salad, I’m looking for alternatives but even then I will eat dairy still.
      My partner isn’t vegetarian but he eats mostly vegetarian too now, he enjoys the alternatives and if he wants meat, he’s totally welcome.
      Just with the changes to his diet already, he’s made a difference and he eats healthier than he used to, just in general

    It’s really annoying when this small group of vegans becomes the face of the vegan community. The majority of us would never try to judge other people, The majority of us also know that this lifestyle isn’t for everybody.
    I’ve been vegan for 7 years and my family isn’t, but I would never judge them for that. Sometimes they eat some of the foods I make and they love it. It’s all chill.
    Eat what you wanna eat, eat what you can eat. There is no judgement. ❤

      We have an interesting, borderline ironic, situation in my family. I have an older brother who, like me, has a lot of allergies including those related to food. He found out a few years ago that by switching to a vegan diet his health improved and now he, or his wife, will make a separate plate for him to eat; his family eats normally with no restrictions. I, on the other hand, mainly eat meat, with spinach and other things I can eat. Due to my own allergies a vegan diet, or even a vegetarian one, would be too restrictive for me to live off of.
      Bottomline is that while we have in common that we have a plethora of allergies it is interesting that the fact that we are allergic to different foods radically changes the type of diet we both can eat. He also doesn't force his wife nor his infant daughter to eat his diet. He respects what other people eat and we also respect, and are also considerate, to what he eats. Win win all around.

Eating cheap and bad meat is clearly easier than buying good and so expensive meat, without going to a butcher, just at the mall.
      For exemple, Tofu in France is less expensive than good meat, but it is still the same price than a regular steak. In Japan, it was, for me, sooooo much cheaper. Because, different culture, diet, local plant, etc.

He'll always just quietly look at the ingredients and if he can't eat it, he'll just put it back. He brings his own food to get-togethers and ask if it's alright to use our kitchens to cook his food which we always say yes because he never makes a fuss about anything. And the funniest thing is when he smells the meat that we're cooking and is like "aw man that smells so good!"

It makes me feel even worse when vegans tell me I'm lying about needing to eat fish. Like hey, I'm glad y'all are healthy enough that you think nobody else has issues, but sheesh.

    I was a vegan many years ago and I was at a family reunion with my boyfriends family and meat and cheese was on everything, including the salad. Since they knew we didn't eat meat, they made a show of it by stating very loudly "here are your special salads without meat". It was in the most disapproving tone ever! Unfortunately, this was a long time ago and I abandoned veganism because it was too hard to do it and there were not the options that are available today. I do eat vegan meals during the week, but I do love my cheese and seafood.

      Per definition being vegan means to cause as little harm as possible and practical. So if they have no other way of surviving, killing animals is... okay-ish. Personally I'd suggest moving somewhere else but as that also isn't always possible, oh well. However there's a difference between murdering out of necessity and murdering for the momentary satisfaction of your taste buds.
      So it's about accessibility. Someone might life in a big ass city but rely on the food bank, who doesn't provide vegan options as far as I know. And they're not bad people for that, just as the Alaskan Person isn't :)

      I would also like to add that you don't have to be veg/vegan to mindfully reduce your contribution to animal suffering. My family eats small scale farmed animals whenever possible, which directly supports our local economy and a mindful producer. The mennonites don't use hormones or unnecessary antibiotics, and how they treat animals is literally part of their moral code. We get eggs from my FIL, and he feeds his chickens like queens with a custom blend and lots of veggies over the winter.
      We also hunt wild game, and fish for our personal consumption in the legally mandated sustainable way (ie, we do not poach/take more than we need). The animals have then lived their intended lifestyle and are very quickly dispatched as humanely as possible. Partridge in particular are highly responsive to population pressure and food abundance, so it's uncommon that we have to simply stop hunting in an area.
      It's ok to take small steps, especially because cost is a factor. It can be hard to eat healthy and sustainably. Just making what mindful decisions you're capable of is helping.

    My best friends for over 30 years was vegan for a long time, I’m not and we never pushed each other for our individual beliefs. Now when she would come over for meals I would make sure what I made was 100% vegan for her so I didn’t make her comfortable and for my best friend I was ok with eating a vegan meal for the day for my best friend. Now because we would talk about things I agreed with some of her points and I now make sure any meat I eat is organic and from a local farmer so I know the animal was treated well. same with other food I try to get things from the local farmers markets and farm communities in my state and make things homemade so I know what’s in it.

I would quite literally be vomiting all the time and die of malnourishment and starvation if I tried (I know I would, because I was on a predominantly plant based diet when I contracted whatever the hell is going on!

    Just like you said Charlotte, humans are omnivorous animals. Some of us can live a vegan diet, some can’t. I know in the days before iron supplements my great-grandma was prescribed going to the butcher and drinking a cup of cow’s blood once a week to keep up her iron levels. I feel for that girl who can’t keep to her choice, but her body betrayed her. Some want to make the choice but can’t even start. We just need to respect the choices of one another because we don’t know their backstory. I can only hope her vegan friends ask her why she’s eating fish rather than dog piling on her & her omnivore friends don’t go “ha! I knew it” - neither are good options.

      Highly debatable if humans are physiological omnivores or not (I'd lean towards not) but it avoids being relevant either way since either way humans are not lions or some other creature that actually needs to harm animals to devour them in order to live...
      While it is true that it can be more difficult for some to become Vegan while it's super easy for many others it is also true that anyone can be Vegan if they truly desire it while using enough willpower and intelligence...
      Your "everybody is different" reasoning sounds good on the surface but it's unlikely you'd accept it for any other species... For example if I told you every lion is different so some lions need to eat salads , berries and bananas every other day you wouldn't likely buy that story... Nor should you...
      I see no need to respect animal abuse... It's not worthy of respect... ;-)

    I have 2 friends who use to be vegan who both had to start eating meat again due to becoming protein deficient because of it. One accepted his situation and did what he had to do to get healthy again. He's doing much better now. Just like the girl in the video though, my other friend struggle really hard at first and continue to get sick until she finally caved and started eating for the sake of her own health. However she had a big group of vegan friends who kept filling her head full of bullshit and kept telling her the doctors were lying to her even as she continued to get sick. When her vegan friends found out she started eating meat again they all completely turned on her. She receive all forms of harassment from them for months, some even threatening to harm her. Ultimately this led her to utterly despise the vegan community for how toxic they are and couldn't believe her own "friends" cared more about her eating meat than about her health.

He was so adamantly vegan, and unwilling to compromise about anything, whereas she was more, “sustainably vegan,” as I like to call it. She said she’d lived in places where there are food deserts, so practicing veganism isn’t actually sustainable there. He could not wrap his head around it.

It's not that I didn't know how to do it; it's that my GI disorders and allergies (can't eat legumes, most veg, half of fruits, gluten) meant that I was trying to survive on too few foods to stay healthy. I cannot maintain my nutrient needs without meat.

Its much easier and sustainable to be a vegan somewhere like Florida or in the carribean where theres a huge variety of plant life with Ll the vitamins and minerals you need than it is to be in northern Russia or Mongolia where you can only sustain yourself with meat cheeses and milk and whatever else is available especially in the middle of winter. You can still stick to primarily vegetarian or vegan and maybe have meat or fish once or twice a month when you need it. Do whats best for you. Ive seen peoples health improve on veganism and ive also seen people's health improve on a carnivore diet. Do what works for you and eat what is available to you.

      The anxiety comes from the cortisol in the meat. Most animals don't live in natural conditions. Quite the opposite actually. They are standing in dark halls in their own shit with no space to move. It is absolutely horrible and they experience severe stress and have enormous amounts of cortisol in their body due to that, plus a lot of them are not dead when taken apart my machines. Cortisol is a hormone that does not last shortly like adrenaline, it is in the body for much longer. And when you ate it you put in in yours.

    I completely understand people who are vegetarian or vegan. No problem, several of my family members were and are. I used to host holidays a lot at my house. I put tremendous time & effort into making what amounted to 2 full meals. I was extremely careful for instance, when making Thanksgiving stuffing to use vegetable stock (versus chicken stock) to make a simple stuffing. But, it's not right to get all over another person for their choices. I have a sibling who is not only vegan, but extremely picky! So, I would make a pasta with broccoli, garlic & olive oil specifically for her - in addition to an entire Turkey or Ham or whatever. I can get behind other people's choices, as long as they don't knock my own. Friends used to say (this is a while ago, so...) "oh, use chicken stock, they'll never know..." I would NEVER do that. But then, don't complain to me that I made a Turkey too because the rest of the family is wanting it and expecting it. It can be costly and time intensive to cook 2 separate meals for a large group. I was always & am always happy to do it. And I am fortunate that my relatives who were/are vegan or vegetarian trusted me and would compliment the meals I prepared. We should be nice to one another, & not get angry when others choose differently.

    So, I was on this diet called the hallelujah diet. Created by these two Christians. I am a Christian, but the ONLY reason I tried it was because I was going through a very very difficult heart situation, undiagnosed condition. Heart would go up to 300 bpm. It was a STRICTLY vegan diet, with a very pricey cookbook with very pricey recipes. I mean, the recipes were outstanding, very good recipes. But, I couldn't afford it. After being on it for 3 months, absolutely nothing changed for me. I lost not one pound, my heart did not improve and I was weak and depressed. I ended up getting the worst migraine I ever had, I guess from detox, and I couldn't bare it. Ate a piece of cheese while crying in the bathtub and the migraine went away. I didn't have good health care during that time. After while, I was able to see a cardiologist, who referred me to MUSC in Charleston, SC. Had a thing called a tilt table test and was FINALLY diagnosed with Postural Orthostatic Tachycardia Syndrome. Which is why my heart has had problems since I was a teen and why my feet and ankles would swell since I was a teen too.

      I can relate with having undiagnosed hear condition. From 2016-2022, my heart rate was so high even just sitting. It was to the point I could not even walk fast. To make matters worse, I also was anemic due to iron deficiency, so that gravely exacerbated my heart rate and anxiety. I would be asleep and wake up crying due to high anxiety (almost on a daily basis I thought I was going to die). Last year, I was FINALLY diagnosed with tachycardia but this year we're still trying to find out the cause of it.

      I made the viral alfredo spaghetti, where you use an alfredo base mixed with spaghetti, and the red meat sauce layered on top in a baking dish, then sprinkle mozzarella cheese. (Did fresh parm and Italian seasoning on top too.) I used the exact same meatless crumbles in it. Only time I’ve tried a recipe from a short.
      I couldn’t get a blind reaction, since I was plating up mine, and husband was caught off guard. So I had to confess. Even with him knowing and being skeptical, he loved it! So did I.
      I was a lacto ovo vegetarian for 6 years. Once diagnosed with the auto-immune form of diabetes, (Type 1) I became a pescatarian and ate seafood again, to lower my insulin needs. I still mostly eat like a vegetarian, adding shrimp once or twice weekly. Occasionally, I eat tuna, cod, pollock or salmon.
      Despite this, I never pressured my husband and kids, and cook them meat separately. I gave my kids the choice. Maybe once or twice a month they’ll have a meatless meal unintentionally, as it is just the dish. Like the way I make a hybrid of chili and the goulash my parents made growing up, without the meat, which we unoriginally call chili-mac.
      I did like meat, once upon a time, especially a medium rare New York strip. But now, I don’t think about it. The switch has been flipped. I never ate shrimp even when I ate all meat, as the texture bothered me. But with the ease of thawing and cooking it, I made myself try it. And now, I LOVE it.
      Either way a person goes or somewhere in between, I say to each, his own!

      Previously owned leather is a grey area/topic for most vegans. Some give it away to charity and some keep the items because the harm was in the original purchase (the demand). Once that has been done there is nothing a vegan can do in that situation. It's a personal choice.
