I eat a plant version of everything that I used to eat. Does it taste exactly the same? No. Does it taste good? Yes.
@tubetardism 20/20 banana is a plant? XD
We'd all be better off if we focused on behavior and not group identity. I appreciate your video. It's good leadership. Competing for who is the best vegan/ purest vegan just breeds exclusivity, not inclusion.
very well put !
I was quite underweight coming into veganism and all the "you'll lose weight on a vegan diet" stuff made me super paranoid about getting enough calories and now 3 years later I'm at a healthy weight for the first time in my adult life :D.
Soy Girl the same thing happened to my partner as well! His BMI is finally in the normal limit
I've been vegan for 3 years I haven't lost any weight ( I'd love too) it doesn't help that I'm a junk food vegan, eat out, almost daily
I have the opposite problem. I gained (unneeded) weight as a vegan because I eat too damned much. 😒
@@fabfourfever674 vegan food is so delicious - that's the "problem" 😐😉
Its because ur metabolism gets slower, when u get older, so u gain weight more easy
This video is very important. I've been vegan for 5 years. Ableism is rampant in our community and as a disabled person, it turns me off from interacting with other vegans. If veganism were a cure, I wouldn't have gotten sick. And inevitably, when I say that, at least one person will say that I'm somehow doing something wrong. Unfortunately, people can get massively, permanently sick no matter how healthy they are. Abled people then promote what they think will "fix" it: veganism, yoga, mmj, vitamins, anti-pharma, positive thinking. And I think illness terrifies people to no end, so they come up with reasons why sick and/or disabled people must have somehow done it to themselves. Vegans have to do better and promote love. Thanks for coming to my TED talk :P
Yeah vegan diet could be the best diet possible but it doesn't mean that you can be well and healthy on diet alone if you have underlying issues
I hope whatever ailment you have improves soon ! When i was a carnist i suddenly got really sick for about 2 years and doctors were useless so i ended up doing a lot of research and eventially cured myself using natural self healing methods - such as liver cleansing/flush that helped me get rid of a ton of parasites.
Hey Fortune I just wanted to say thank you for commenting. Your opinion is well thought-out and a deep issue. I admit that as a generally (very) healthy person, I push healthy diet and exercise because I believe it is a good place to start. Myself as well as others need a reminder that other things in life will happen. You should consider making a RUclips video about this topic, I know I would watch it. I think a lot of people would benefit from hearing that side.
taking some vitamins isnt the end of the world.
TRUTH! Thinking back, my overnight veganage was only easy because of the emotional impact of Earthlings + growing up knowing that vegans were a thing and it was healthy
+ becoming vegan in the vegan mecca that is Vancouver, BC
+ super supportive open-minded family
+ moving towns soon after so friends/peer pressure was not really an issue. I made new friends and 98% of them are vegan.
Sure, I lost weight and felt better at first but then I learned how to make doughnuts. Dangerous knowledge. And now I live with chronic pain (not blaming veganism for this). Veganism doesn't cure all. It's just a good thing to do for animals and some other reasons.
Edit: please, no more unsolicited advice. Trust that I know how to manage my ish ;-) unless I ASK for advice, please refrain.
Chronic pain sufferers (and ppl with disabilities in general) get this all the time and it's exhausting.
Mary's Test Kitchen my overnight to veganism was also easy b/c of open minded family, emotional impact of chickens/turkeys being ground up alive, and the fact that I had been (not intentionally trying to go vegan/vegetarian at first) eating less meat products because I was bored/sometimes found meat products to be gross if not cooked right which was starting to happen more often. And I already knew quinoa was a protein source.
So yes I agree that if someone else tries veganism overnight and are struggling if might be because they don’t have multiple factors in their favour making things easy for them.
I love that you have been so open about your chronic pain struggles on your channel. As a fellow spoonie I have even been accused of not being a “real vegan” because I still suffer from my chronic illnesses (and we all know that is magically cured by veganism.) The snake oil-y side of veganism is frustrating.
Since when is Vancouver, BC the Vegan mecca...... just sayin 😑. m.ruclips.net/video/NZ30jJM9Mrg/видео.html
Love ur open mindedneds Mary. I'm not sure if you've tried this but you might wanna give turmeric a go or try cutting out some inflammatory foods like gluten, sugars, fake butters, margarine and vegetable oils.
Please TRY this for Chronic Pain....Plant-based (vegetarian i.e. vegan) MSM, if not anything else....
I also take Apple Pectin V-Caps or Tablets, Organic or Vegan Vit.C, Vegan Calcium w/Magnesium tablet...also possibly a a Vegan Vit. E Gel-cap... Don't forget we are being sprayed with Chemtrails since 2005 (they say in Canada the Chemtrails started around 1998) where they unload Metallic NANO Bots to more or less "tag us" such as Aluminum, Barium, etc.
which is IMO the reason for our Chronic pains > nowdays! Be careful to buy Organic Non-GMO food items, also using only Organic flours & grains, preferably, as most grains may be sprayed post Harvest with Monsanto's POISON Round-Up, that's also called Glyphosate...which a nerve disrupter.
I'm kinda torn. I think any approach that results in a decrease of animal product consumption is wonderful, but I also think selling veganism on the basis of weight loss/glowy skin is problematic in that you're only speaking to a person's desire to LOOK better and not DO better. If something else comes along later that allows them to exploit animals and look good, what's to stop them from trying that instead? I loved your honesty, thanks Rose!
What do you feel about an approach which promises to eventually reduce the unnecessary culling of animals but comes at a price- rats are to be sacrificed to test out this new product?
You know what is problematic ? baby boy chicks beign grinded up alive because they are ''useless for the farmer assholes just so you can get your eggslad or mayonaise etc. . .
if you are not vegan you can't talk about morals because you got none.
I'm not vegan but I watch a lot of vegan youtubers and I think you have one of the best level headed messages!
If you agree with the message why still support animal abuse and murder ?
@@KimchiYeo as said in the video it might be extremely hard for them to turn vegan, either because of health issues, cultural background, the environment they live in etc. Please do not judge others without hearing their entire story :) /lh
@@changjinius1499 it’s probably because of taste and selfishness
Reality hurts and we can pretend that non vegans are good ppl when they aren’t
From the vids I’ve watched debug your brain seems to have the best approach; calm and logical and doesn’t come across as judgemental to most
Would u pretend that a dog eater or a serial killer cannibal with no remorse is a good person?
YES. Veganism CAN be easy, but it might not be at first. It’s sooo true about taste buds changing!
I accidentally had a taste of dairy milk when I sipped the wrong coffee a couple years ago, and I was concerned for my friend because I thought their milk was RANCID; it tasted so bad!! They assured me it wasn’t. Which is crazy because giving up dairy cream in my coffee was one of the harder things for me to do as I didn’t like any non-dairy creams at first!
I love the message of being understanding of others’ journeys. I didn’t transition overnight either, but I got here in the end! Which is what matters. It’s hard to undo years of brainwashing. So long as someone is making efforts to be vegan they are good in my books 👍🏻
Cheese was my main food before I went vegan. Last week I accidentally got delivered a pizza with cheese and before I realised this I took a bite of it. It tasted so disgusting to me. Like sweaty feet. Now I can't imagine how people could eat a whole pizza with cheese and I really got more of an admiration for the taste of vegan cheese.
A lot of cheese smells really gross to me now. Like if I go to a restaurant or someone's home and they are eating something with parmesan it reeks to me. It does smell like feet!
I remember one Christmas when I was visiting as a vegan my mum was baking shortbread cookies - it was so bad it almost made me vomit! And I remember the smell of baking butter cookies being the loveliest thing in the world 😝
the dairy products these days are much worse than they used to be. much bigger more industrial farms and they basically heat the stuff to ridiculous temperatures and it has much longer shelf lifes and longer supply routes. it is rancid just not sour.
Denatured degeneracy is so chic.
Please yell it for the people in the back "VEGANISM DOESN'T CURE ALL MEDICAL PROBLEMS!" It drives me nuts when people say it's a cure for everything. Like do they really think veganism cures broken legs? It's so ridiculous that people actually promote this type of thinking.
No......but a whole food plant based diet has been proven to be more effective in the fight against osteoporosis than the standard western diet and calcium supplements combo
I am disabled and I get told about a magical cure once a week minimum. It makes me want to tear my hair out. Then when they hear I don't eat meat they blame it on that. The fact is my diet plays no real role in my medical issues other than my milk allergy. The rest is basically unaffected. It's a little bit easier to lose weight, but we can find tons of vegan junk foods. The facts are that I have back problems and arthritis that's caused by an autoimmune disease. No amount of carrots or whatever will fix it. Meds make it somewhat manageable, but I still haven't found the best combination of treatments. I have had this for 21 years no diet or treatment has cured me. False hope is extremely damaging to people with chronic illnesses. It hurts us emotionally and in some cases it can actually kill people. My husband had cancer and is in remission because he never listened to quacks and now he's cancer free for 3 years thanks to medical intervention. Medicine is not perfect, but I will take that over rumour and scam artists any day.
@Berserker yes happy infertility.
Literally no one thinks veganism cures broken legs, stop exaggurating. I’m pro carnivore but even I acknowledge the fact that short-term raw plant-based diet can heal several chronic diseases like T2 diabetes, cancer and more. Once healed you should slowly introduce animal foodstuffs to prevent malnourishment.
@lia lorenzo you must have not watched the ex-vegan videos.
Vegetarian for 26 years now, vegan for 8 years, for ethical reasons
That's great! :)
@Luc Verhoeven without cancer and heart attacs.
@Fativore Lifestyle well...some are made from bones and blood of factory farmed chickens. But yea, unfortunately there's no such thing as a cruelty free diet.
@@randomearthling5214 Really on this video you are saying going vegan means no cancer no heart disease Wow it must be a cure all!!!!!Q
@Fativore Lifestyle you know that all the round up corn and soy beans are fed to livestock right. I grew up in North Dakota my whole life. It is a sea of GMO corn amd soy that is all fed to live stock not humans. It is a sickening place to live. One of the many reasons i moved away.
OMG!!!! Vegan eating made your hair green. 😂😂😂
Clearly I don't eat enough kale! 😂 But seriously, I want purple hair...
byusaranicole that means you have to eat more eggplant 🍆 😂 or grapes 🍇
that's totally why i went vegan - still waiting for that lovely hair colour to show up !
@@JoJo-zm3tv possibly even blueberries
I literally lol. Ty!
And this is why I love your channel! You're honest, you don't guilt anyone, and encouraging. Just trying to lift and encouraging people to do their best in this eating lifestyle.
littleblondemop o
Ethics has kept me vegan for 4.5 years. Everything was relatable in your video. I almost couldn't believe how relatable it was. Thanks! You're awesome :D
Thank you for affirming the idea that transitioning is personal, takes time, can be hard for various reasons, but totally possible. For me, veganism has helped my blood work, but guess what? I still have polycystic kidney disease; veganism isn't going to change that. It's not a magic wand, but it's been a year since I fully transitioned and I'm just going to continue going forward and take each day as it comes.
Boohoo beign vegan is soooo hard...who gives a shit ?
animals are suffering so boohoo that you can't eat tons of meat anymore...grow up crybaby.
Thank you! I love that fact you said specifically said "possibly" instead of staying that you will lose weight, have loads of energy, etc. You wouldn't believe how much of a hard time I get from people for still being overweight and vegan, since apparently that isn't possible to them. I have a poor immune system, and am constant told that if I start to eat meat again then I'll be healthier, but they don't bother to take into consideration is a gene mutation that contributes greatly to being sick a lot of the time. Animal products made it worse and killed my stomach royally, but I'm just a woman, what do I know..(sarcasm at the end)
So much this! Especially the health aspects.
I have multiple chronic illnesses and while some gastric symptoms have been a bit more controllable since I became vegan a lot of vegans act like it is a cure all.
Other people with chronic pain & autoimmune disease, desperate for a solution have approached me, knowing my health history, for help & I have often had to moderate their hopes & expectations.
I still take meds & always will (though my thyroid meds have decreased, but correlation is not causation.) I haven’t lost weight (though it has been easy to maintain my pre-vegan weight loss.) I’m still cancer free but my cancer was curable & treated intensely with 6 rounds of RCHOP so I was unlikely to reoccur anyway. My skin & hair were always good (genes I’m guessing, I tend to be more dry so I never had acne.)
There are so many good reasons to go vegan but lying/overblowing things will only lead people to feel like failures (not perfect healthy, magical vegans,) and possibly give up on veganism when the results aren’t what was expected.
I went vegan for the animals but being vegetarian for about 20 years, I was suffering from chronic headache ; going vegan cured me immediately ..... probably some dairy allergy that I didn't know about before.... but so incredible ! and I was even not going vegan for health purpose !
Thank you for acknowledging that the transition period can be tough for people. I went pescetarian 1.5 years ago and last year was very difficult for me. I missed so many of my old comfort foods and I felt so alone. I still get super irritated when some people say "it's not about the food you lose but you can try so many new things" 😑 Eating something new that you like, does not negate the fact that there are foods that you just really miss.
I really can't understand this issue. I went vegetarian and at the beginning yes, I was missing a couple of things.. but I get so used to being vegetarian that the idea of eating any meat now disgusts me completely. Sometimes I think about fish.. I remember the taste.. but if I can make delicious vegan maki, algae really nail it. Algae are just super good.
By far THE best video you've ever made, Rose! Love this. Your empathy and emotional intelligence towards other people is the main reason I love you and your content so much
I am so happy that you're saying exactly what i'm thinking. I wish that others would take note. I've had so many arguments and debates with people about these topics.
Brave, honest and empathic. Can't agree more with you. Great video. Thank you for adressing this, I think it will help us to be more honest and kinder with our selves and with others.
*Thank you for raising this important issue*
As a 27 year vegan, I have come to be convinced based on my observations and interactions that the stretching of the truth comes primarily in the form of health related claims made mostly by plant based dieting advocates.
The most common examples I've come across are assertions such as: "Eating meat will kill you" and "If you eat meat you will get cancer".
The honest framing of health concerns related to the consumption of animal products is that certain animal products are associated with increased risks of certain diseases, ailments, or health problems.
Louis Gedo yes ppl watch What the Health and then run around claiming meat will give them heart attacks or cancer. I’m pretty sure what the health only commented on bacon and processed sandwich meats! So it drives me a bit crazy when ppl just make broad statements as those.
@@VeganLiving247
It's really not that different from the health fanatics whom upon seeing someone smoking a cigarette tell that person that he will die of lung cancer.
It's all about increased risk factors......not about X necessarily will give you Y.
@@VeganLiving247
On the other hand, when we are talking about the consuming of animal flesh ( BECAUSE you like the taste ) from animals whom were killed to obtain that flesh......Y (the intentional needless violence perpetrated upon an innocent sentient individual) is necessarily a consequence of X (a gustatory indulgence).
@@LouisGedo Of course it's all about risk factors, everyone knows that so it has no reason to be said.
If someone told you cigarettes will give you cancer, you know damn well they aren't saying you smoked a cig so you're guaranteed to get cancer now.
i dont think so. probably 'ethical vegans' talking about health. real health advocates wouldnt say such stuff.
“WE’RE NOT JUST LIVING IN A WORLD OF SUBSTITUTES” People should pay more attention to that! There are so many wonderful new and unique things to try that are fantastic on their own. Not all is trying to mimic what we can’t eat anymore.
I have been watching you every now and then, but this video made me subscribe. I like how genuine and realistic you are.
Videos like this are why I love your channel. Thank you so much. I went vegan for my health. I have rheumatoid arthritis. Veganism has not cured me. It has given me a better quality of life. Along the way of helping myself I learned to help the animals and the planet.
OMG I love you so much for this, Rose, *thank you* for being one of the voices of reason in this community!! This video was perfect. I think you're such a great representation of veganism, it makes me happy!
I love how you keep it honest and real.
You can also say "gloss over" (similar to brushing/sweeping it under the rug). Your video makes PERFECT SENSE.
I love this!! Veganism was so easy for me because I went at a younger age and because I felt so much for the animals that I never thought twice. Although this was my experience I know it’s definitely not the same for others. Thankyou!!!
It was easy for me too! After binge watching hours of animal torture, I had no desire for blood and screams.
You're so well spoken and very much a realist. I also appreciate that you're not judegmental. 🧡
I just had to say, I just watched a video of yours from two years ago and came to this one right after. Wow, your skin! You just glow! It's really amazing to see how a healthy lifestyle has made you glow!
I like this honesty rose, I think that actually helps welcome people to the idea. Welcoming is better received than preaching. I want to reiterate that the vegan community has to be careful with promising ‘cure alls’ or ‘weight loss’ on veganism. That’s teetering on blaming those with chronic diseases for not ‘fixing’ their disease or blaming those without a fashionably thin frame for not ‘looking like a vegan’. Plants are good for you, no need to load it with pressure to conform.
You're so fantabulous! Thanks for taking on these tough tough topics. 😍🚲🌵
This is a very positive message without shaming anyone. I'd like to add that wanting and trying to be a more ethical person isn't a zero sum game.
I have a variety of complex health issues. I tried to go vegan for a very long time with a number of diets, was supplementing, was being watched by doctors, doing all the things I was supposed to do, and I got worse. A series of different issues kept arising, none of which were corrected until I went back to some animal products.
This is that zero sum thing. Am I a horrible person for failing? Absolutely not. My broken body simply couldn't handle it and that's ok. What I did do was learn about ways I could at least make less of an impact, consume the least amount of those products, and become an advocate in different ways.
It is absolutely not perfect but I am doing all that I can in the ways my body will allow me.
I think ending the villification of people who fail or people who are not able to be entirely vegan is an important point to make.
Love the video. Love the message.
Yesssss to this. Very honest and important message, thank you. This is the way to supporting sustainable change
Thanks so much for this video, it definitely is useful info as the movement keeps growing.
When people say “there’s no such thing as protein deficiency,” it really shows their privilege. Protein deficiency is real in many less developed countries and can kill.
But anyways, thank you rose for talking about high protein vegan diets. That’s the only way most people can eat this type of diet sustainably :)
I think dying from protein deficiency might be called starvation? There are millions of people starving to death every year in developing countries and we could all say that they died from "protein deficiency" Sadly I think they just do not have enough to eat, period.
I've always thought it was implied that people are talking about westernized countries when they say things like that. I agree with the other comment, if you live in a developed country and are protein deficient it's probably because you aren't getting enough calories in general.
@@animalsarebeautifulpeople3094 I guess it's becoming more of a problem in the U.S. because have such horrible eating habits and there are medical reasons for that deficiency can happen. It's such a shame because that it happens.
@@zencat55 yeah when it happens in developed countries, it's not a vegan specific problem. Not by a long shot.
Allusive Ashly Actually there is a word for protein deficiency. It’s called kwashiorkor. It often happens with the second child in families in less developed countries because the family can’t afford enough high protein foods both both children.
This means that their diet has too much grain
A quick google search can probably elaborate better
I love the honesty!!!
You are, by far, my favorite vegan RUclipsr ♡ the way you have such empathy for all animals, including humans, is so beautiful ♡ Thank you for continuing to do what you do!
I totally agree on the taste buds changing. I haven't eaten meat in years and I tried the impossible burger last week and I felt super uncomfortable with the texture and taste. I've grown so used to the different varients of veggie patties that I only was able to eat half of it.
My dad who was in his first month of veganism bought frozen potatoe cakes without thoroughly reading the ingredients list and served them to me,I tasted the cream and cheese as soon as it entered my mouth. After a while of eating cleaner your tastebuds change so much that you taste everything "wrong" instantly
Yes! I agree completely with your sentiments here, Rose. I like to talk a lot about this too. We are all different and we're all motivated by different things. We all come to veganism in our own time and on our own terms. Every step away from animal products is a step in the right direction.
I agree. I'd even go as far to say that every vegan meal helps, even if you start with something like meatless mondays
meanwhile thoussands and thoussands of animals still get abused and murdered living in hell day in day out,emotonally torn just because people like you lack empathy and the moral intelligence for those poor scared weak defenseless animals who get murdered millions each month.
Thanks for posting this, because just yesterday I got an arrogant, judgy response to my comments on your previous video that told me I was equivocating, that veganism was easy, that I was resistant, and just plain wrong about everything I had posted. Basically I just said that because of society and the way it's structured (from production to shipping, as well as history), in addition to how people are socialized, it's going to be difficult for many and there are significant barriers for some. I stopped responding to them because it's impossible to actually talk with someone who is arrogant, totally dismissive, and just wants to preach AT you rather than discuss the very real challenges with you. Not only do they twist the truth, some of them outright lie about their own experiences in order to sell veganism.
I wrote a similar comment to the one you're referring to for THIS VIDEO, & I'm getting the same kinds of comments. I'm not even bothering to respond. If you can be judgemental & "twist-y" in the comment section of a video advocating empathy & honesty/being realistic, there's just no hope...
@@NatalieValentina6 That's really unfortunate, I'm sorry to hear it. I think sometimes that some vegans get so passionate about the moral side of their cause that it's hard for them to be objective or at times even just understanding. They get so fired up about protecting animals that they forget to be civil to other humans.
That was me, and I apologize for sounding "judgy." I was going on the assumption that you were like most non-vegan commenters: Insinuating that veganism is commonly impossible in order to discourage others reading the comments from considering veganism. In my defense, I did not in my comments to you, nor elsewhere in my ten year comment history on YT, insist that all people can go vegan all at once. I repeatedly asserted that it is not as difficult to most adult humans as they suppose it to be.
I notice that you never answered my question about why you are resistant to considering the possibility that veganism as an easier life change to make than you think it is, and if you inferred that this question was intrusive or obnoxious, then know that it was a sincere inquiry. I just hope that you are examining the question to yourself, because reading comments citing numerous reasons why veganism cannot be attempted is demoralizing; it sounds like you are giving up before even trying.
Refreshing to hear this! Great video ❤
Love you for saying what nobody else will while also owning up to your own faults
I haven't seen your videos in a long time. You look amazing!!
lots of wisdom in you words my friend. Thanks for sharing!
I've been eating less and less animal products for a little over two weeks now and today I can say I feel good. I'm not one of those people who changed their diet and magically started feeling great, quite the opposite. I've gone from starving at first, to eating too much and having the worst heartburn and acid reflux I've had in a while. I've been going more often to the bathroom, I got some new pimples and headaches. Finding the right balance to feel good has been hard. I've stuck to it because of ethics and because I'm excited to try new foods and I've been having fun with that as well. I'm also stubborn and want to prove my husband wrong lol and I am actually losing some weight. I know this will be a good thing for me.
I've been vegan for 2 years and my blood serum protein levels was low (coincidentally had it checked with a load of other things that I got checked) I ate tonnes of veggies but didn't really replace my protein sources. I now make sure to check what I'm eating with chronometer and drink protein shakes to try and get 1g per kg of muscle I have. I feel a lot better now. I was totally exhausted
I really love your honesty and considering all aspects!! I’m currently vegetarian and even that’s pretty tough because all my family and friends are meat-eaters. There’s pressure, and feeling like a burden when people have to consider what I’m going to eat. I still try to lessen my dairy and egg intake and other non-food products like leather though.
I am so glad you made this. I have tried to go vegan but for health reasons I cannot. But in that journey I have changed to a diet that avoids prepackaged foods and eating way more fruits and vegetables. It has made me aware of where I get my food. I do avoid dairy and cheese. I also try to choose other things that are vegan, such as clothes, makeup etc ♥️
What you are doing is brilliant and exactly how we should all approach veganism, do what you're able to.
For health reasons you cannot? The overwhelming scientific consensus from dozens and dozens of various research and studies concluded that anyone in any life cycle can be healthy on a well-balanced vegan diet. Combined with *zero* studies that concluded that one cannot be vegan.
Now, I get that not everyone can be vegan due to their living situations or their access to food, or that not everyone has access to blood tests or a nutritionist. If you have have access to these things? Then it's purely a choice. Can rare diseases make it more difficult? Yes! Definitely! So I can sympathize with people making that choice in those situations.
@@Avenger222 I cannot eat soy or many of vegan replacement's they make very sick. Eating only vegetables was not making be better either so I have small amounts of meat or eggs that I buy local.
@@gyoumans2901 Honestly, I'm not a nutritionist nor would I ever make diagnoses for people online. I would just suggest discussing this with a plant-based nutritionist and getting blood work, if necessary.
Good luck!
@@gyoumans2901 Hey, I don't think at all that soy or replacement products are nesessary for a vegan diet. I myself didn't eat any of those for at least half a year wirhout a problem. If I could not eat them it would not affect me in the slightest. Beans, lentils and other legumes are very good, healthy sources of protein. Just my 2 cents. Maybe you want to try eating more legumes? But if you do, I would increase the amount slowly, so your body can get used to it 😉.
incredible video! A very interesting point of view and I totally agree with you on every point! I'm not vegan but I'm trying to increase the amount of plant-based meals that I eat in a week and thanks to your channel, I can! Many Vegan RUclipsrs should watch your channel, they might learn a thing or two on how to be convincing without sounding obsessional or irrational!
Good for you!
Omg I love this video!! Your amazing!!
well said ... glad you put it out there and look forward to more of your videos
Really love and appreciate this video, lately I’ve struggled a lot with the online Vegan Community bc even tho I’ve been Vegan for 4years (and Vegetarian for 5 before that) I found myself in conflict with what is being said/seems to be mainly accepted online.
I personally have struggled with acne and Veganism did not cure it in my case, which actually sometimes made me question what did I do wrong?
Anyways thank you so much, love hearing this and reading all the positive comments. ☺️
Thank you for being honest
My fiancé struggles with eating enough. She loses weight fast and she’s very thin already. She’s picky and can’t eat vegetables she’ll literally gag.
Two years of being vegan together and she had to quit because she wasn’t getting any nutrients or eating enough and was losing weight fast. So she started eating eggs and dairy and opened her choices up and gained weight and muscle immediately.
My failed attempts at raw veganism killed my energy big time. I was sucked into the raw vegan thing back when it first got popular like 10 years ago. Turns out I have some insulin resistance and fruit and veggie juices were the worst thing I could do. Not to mention all the time, expense and mess of juicing all the time! Ditto my vegetarian experiment. I just can't handle a large number of carbs. Baking my own bread, eating rice, pastas, etc... I was again, constantly exhausted. I feel the best when I am eating a protein based diet. We do meatless meals all the time, but I can only do so many beans. I also figured out I have to take B12 and iron supplements even eating an omnivore diet so I am scared try again. However, watching your videos and Unnatural Vegan I am starting to rethink some things. Thank you for your honest video!
I’ve said it before and I’ll say it again. An amazingly inspirational young woman.
I think this is the general mindset of Most People... Looking for that ONE magically Cure All. Vegans being passionate about a cause, it’s understandable why they want to push the positives.
I totally appreciate the video & more balanced view ✌🏻✨🙋🏻♀️
I also think that many vocal vegans (at least on SM) have circumstances that make becoming, being, & staying vegan easier; & they don't necessarily take that into consideration. If you are healthy, able-bodied, well-educated, living a middle-to-upper class lifestyle in an affluent country, & geographically w/in the satellite of a major metropolitan area, you have advantages & exposure to veganism that are not inconsequential. Are there ways to become/stay vegan if you don't have these advantages? Of course, 100%. Are they reasonable & sustainable long-term? Yes for some, maybe not for others.This doesn't even address cultural aspects, like upbringing, family, community, tradition, lifestyle, & religious/ethnic/social groups, etc. that impact our decision-making. Finally, shaming, bullying, berating, or being condescending towards others is never a good thing, nor is it effective activism. It's especially bad when it's a stranger, & you have no idea what their circumstances are. Not all reasons are necessarily equivocation or excuses...
Vegetarian and vegan diets are more common in the lower class than the higher class in america.
I don't live in a major metropolitan area, am a highschool dropout, not poor but definitely lower middle class, don't even have a car, and I know no one in real life that is vegan.
It definitely could be harder, but I think it's actually very rare that vocal vegans will judge others that are in a much different place in life, especially poorer countries. Yet I know many people who will point to how hard it is to do for people in certain situations and use that as an excuse, despite themselves not being in that situation.
Almost everyone's culture is heavily influenced by animal products in some way. Culture shouldn't be an excuse.
Eating vegan is a lot cheaper than eating animal products, even in the US wherr animal agriculture is heavily subsidized. Nothing cheaoer than rice beans and bananas.
@@soygirl9792 absolutely agree. I was talking to an affluent woman who was scolding every activist at the COT saying they were not thinking about poor people who could only afford McDonald's. When i pointed out that rice and beans were far cheaper than fast food she seemed confused. Also then i asked her why she wasnt vegan she said she would DIE if she didn't eat cheese. She said she couldn't care about little baby cows being dragged away from their moms and have their brain split open with a hammer because she would literally DIE if she didnt eat cheese - and this is a fully grown older woman we are talking about here :( The snow flake mentality of victimhood rages on in carnism.
Natalie, I completely agree with you! For some, veganism can be really easy, but for others there may be significant barriers. And you're right, it never helps to see a militant and condescending "activist" trying to sell their cause.
@@johnd5574 just wondering if you are vegan?
I have the utmost respect for you and your philosophy. I am a true fan.
I can't say how thankful I am for this video. Cause when I tell people that I'm a vegan and try to promote it, it feels so difficult because it's hard sometimes and I even fell off the wagon after a while, I'm back now though. People need to realise that it's not as easy as the experts, bloggers and chefs make it out to be. But it's something that I morally feel I need to do, and that it needs to be a person's own choice. Yes promote it without attacking them. Because food is personal.
I promote fastin when i uber n lyft
I am finding it easy to eat a vegan whole plants foods lifestyle with applying other aspects of veganism but there's people I know that are vegan but have allergies to certain plant foods. In that suitation it could be difficult but not impossible because my vegan friends with allergies still manage to be vegan despite the allergies and other health problems they have.
@@davidthescottishvegan of course it's not impossible, but as Rose stated; stating that it's easy, just cause it's easy for you isn't very empathetic. A lot of my friends do have very controlling parents and even to controlling what they eat. It's not really easy all the time, it's not that black and white.
I think maybe it's sometimes not as easy as vegans make it out to be. But it's almost never as hard as non-vegans think it is. It's often very complicated communicating this...
@@missoats8731 no I get what you mean.
Vegan for my health first, then found a passion for the animals. Took me 10+ years, so I try to keep that in mind when I talk to friends/family about it. I was the same with bacon and steak. I just want to say I stumbled across gochujang sauce for the first time and I love it! I would have never know about it, thank you!!!
I had gout, a stomach ulcer, and terrible sinus issues. I went from eating both meat and plants to eating plant-based overnight and all my ailments were cured. I immediately got so much relief from the pain I had had for years. I've been vegan for 1 year and 3 months and I'd say it cured all for me. Plus it help me with so much more energy confidence sexuality and being happy.
YES this is so important, especially the bit about people not being vegan any more
I when vegan about three years ago after being vegatarian for over thirty years it was something my sister wanted to do but I did fail a few times I didn't lose weight I have always been overweight and I still am but I went vegan for the Animals and only for the Animals I will never go back because I don't care what people say and I don't want to bother with them I only love Animals
Wow it takes a lot of vegan food to stay overweight
@@supersomebody101 I eat a lot of junk food IAM not a very healthy vegan
gillian jones i feel u. I’m addicted to food. Especially sweets. I lost weight after going vegan, but I still have a ways to go. Vegan for the animals first. 💚💚
@@supersomebody101 It really doesn't though. Oil, nuts, avocado are all vegan and high calorie. Plus you can get vegan mayonnaise, cheese, pizza, ice cream, cookies, etc. I think people tend to confuse a whole food plant based diet with a vegan one.
Oh, and of course, alcohol is vegan! (or you can find vegan versions) That's a very easy way to consume lots of calories.
You hit the nail on the head love it
Nice video. Thank you for stating that we all need to use a critical eye/thought to make veganism inclusive! Love your points! Love promoting empathy.
I agree with all of this. It'd be easier for people to transition if they focus less on what they can't have as substitutes, rather they can focus on new things to try. It makes it a much more positive experience.
Thanks for this very honest look at the vegan movement! I feel like some people must think that if they don't make veganism look like a beacon of perfection, no one will ever be interested in it. But I find that people respond a lot more positively to honesty. When I tell people I was kinda shocked how quickly I didn't miss meat anymore, but that it was soooooo hard to give up cheese, they can relate to that. And if they can relate to how you WERE, maybe that will help them envision themselves where you are NOW.
I'm not a vegan (yet), but i truly appreciate your honest and balanced message!
If anything, your video made me feel more 'in peace' and therefore MORE (not less) motivated to make any changes in my diet for the right reasons, with an open mind, knowing that in the end of the day i'm just a human being trying to improve myself and my decisions, while doing it with the best intentions possible! I mean, if i can have a balanced and complete life (with good days and bad days), grow stronger, feel better overall and spare the life of hundreds of animals in the process, then i honestly don't have many excuses to not move in that direction!
Thank you!
I crave buffalo fried chicken sandwich, boneless chicken wings. This craving hasn’t gone away unfortunately. But the idea of an animal on my plate is too much.
Your channel is my absolute favorite. I love how down-to-earth and realistic you are when promoting your message. I went vegan about two years or so ago and went back to old habits after six months of no slips. Cheese was my ultimate downfall. I've been on both sides of the conversation and there's just so much divisiveness from both groups and when vegans get divisive and attack others on their lifestyles, it does not help promote the vegan lifestyle in a positive light and that's so frustrating. I made the decision to go back to plant-based (I can't call myself vegan because I'm still working on household products and stuff and out of respect to vegans, I'll say what I really am) and it was a slow transition for me. The last time I did the switch overnight and I think it wasn't a good thing for me. Dairy was still the last thing I held on to. I struggled with the decision because it was a bit expensive for being on a single budget and I didn't manage or plan well. But I found your videos and they were so helpful. I love the realism behind everything and how you approach it. It was one of the things that helped solidify my decision to go back to plant-based. Everything in this video is so true. I hope you keep promoting veganism this way because I honestly think this has more of a chance of reaching people than vegans that preach and try to make people feel horrible about every non-vegan thing they put in their bodies.
This was the most down-to-earth vegan message I've heard !!! Great message!!!!
Thank you for making this♥️♥️♥️
I went vegan overnight and it’s been 5 years which is exciting
very good video Rose!!
As a long time vegan, let me tell you how much I am happy that you address these important issues. Many vegan influencers preach real craps & pseudoscience. I am sick of them, they really damage the vegan cause. You go girl! :*
When I went vegan I would eat m&ms and snickers for a couple years pretending it didn’t contain milk. Then I finally decided to stop lying to myself
Now there are so many vegan options to satisfy your chocolate cravings! I bake the most delicious chocolate cakes now also 😊
If you live in the US, thrive market has a very similar M&M type chocolate that is vegan
Hi Rose can you talk about the non food aspects of Veganism. I do wear my friends cast off woollen coat in the winter, and I have some leather ankle boots (also my friends haha) my leather belt I have had for about 17 years. I would love to hear your opinion. Best wishes and keep up the good work, I love your channel X
Keeping the things you already have is fine just don't buy more of those products, stop contributing to it once you go vegan if you are.
I love you so much for your honesty about veganism, your videos helped me take the plunge myself to live a life aligned with my morals.
I found similar to you with attachments to food, I loved cheese so much, I had cheese every day, and when I went vegan I initially said I'd be vegan except for cheese if I fancied it. It was 4 months before I even craved cheese at all & I had 2 small bites and since then I've not been bothered at all. I've been vegan 8 months now and I'm more interested in trying new foods now and am playing with recipes too, which is new for me because I used to be exceptionally picky. Now I really love food so much more.
I had this experience with tacos the other day. My family asked me if it tasted the same? I’m like obviously it’s going to taste different than actually meat. I think what people need to get out of their head is food is going to taste different from what we were used to. It’s not bad just different. Also feels way better knowing nothing was harmed in the making!! 👍
I completely agree. My brother recently went vegan (after our whole family transitioned a year ago) and he remarked that he thought he'd feel different/better, but he was starting off on a pretty clean diet to begin with.
My mother, who is very much not vegan, tried the Gardein steakless bites and thought they tasted like filet mignon. I was so happy. Maybe I should try a taste test video on my channel with my little one and see what she thinks. Also, I definitely gained weight with all the vegan junk out there so not everyone loses weight, I agree that it's a myth everyone will magically have a better body. Good video!
This is SUCH an accurate video!
OMG yes Rose thank you for this. At the end of the day we're all different and we have a different requirements when being a vegan and becoming a vegan. While some vegans think veganism is like some snap of a finger kind of change. To some of us, yes, but to many, no. Love hearing your views on this :D
i've been pescatarian for about a year, working on becoming vegetarian. i did exactly what you said, stopped eating meat completely and didn't substitute anything (at the time i never really ate fish) was constantly hungry, and then had some digestive problems for the first month. when i properly looked into things my health improved so much, i don't have hayfever anymore and i was just sick a lot in general. the only thing that changed in my lifestyle was stopping eating meat. it's been so hard to stop eating fish, but i'm hoping by the end of the year that'll happen.
I am migrating toward a plant based diet. I hoped it would help control my chronic pain. I slept better and lost weight. I had more energy. My pain level is better, but the change hasn't been dramatic.
Thanks girl. If you go on with open eyes, then you are more likely to stick to it.
I do miss meat, but I believe in what I'm doing a lot more, and it gets easier.
I never feel that I'm missing out in the food department lol. Liked the video :). I think this video is important.
Love this video! I say the "I can eat the vegan version" thing because I've found that people often don't like the actual meat, they like the flavours associated with it. So I can usually make something taste very similar to the meat version using just spices. For example, I loved shepherd's pie when I wasn't vegan, and now I can make the equivalent subbing lentils for meat and adding all the same spices. Of course you can't have a vegan steak but for most meals you can use the same spices and get the same flavour as the meat version. Does that make sense? I think with most foods you can at least get very very close to the flavour because that's all spices and seasoning anyway
Love this video!!!
For me veganism brought on intensified tummy problems with healthy foods like FODMAPs. It helped me to know that there are kind people like you in the online community for me to feel supported while finding a vegan solution. I’m feeling better lately and know life is a journey. I’m glad to be vegan :) Thanks for the honest content and laughs
I like the fact u being honest and real about the true facts about vegan.thats why im slowly transitioning to see if it works for me.
........ooh
Needed this kind of clarity.
Great video! Thanks for making it.
i think the one thing that shocked me the most with its irrelevance was cheese - i was SO daunted by giving up cheese...and then i just kind of forgot about it? it was so easily avoidable in my diet. it's a weird one.
very nice video... this is the way to present a logical argument and promotion of a lifestyle on RUclips .. KUDOS!!! there needs to be much more of you ESPECIALLY in the Vegan community of RUclips
I'm really glad you posted this video. I've been looking into trying vegan for health benefits, and have been a bit skeptical of jumping right on to any diet after my family pushed me on a low-carb diet and exacerbated a thyroid problem I didn't know I had. It may work for some of my family, but it really messes with me XD; I heard of problems others have had, and really feel like I might do best to take it slow, or maybe be content with a pescatarian diet, if it seems to be working for me. I despise how industrial farms raise animals (even for milk and eggs) and feel like if I can ethically source most of the products I do use, and advertise those products to others over the regular fare, perhaps it'll help steer the industry in a better direction. I'm actually hopeful a slower approach might allow me to switch over to vegan entirely, as well, without many of the problems some people have. Not to mention, I can still share many wonderful vegan dishes at parties with more carnivorous family and friends. Every little step in the right direction helps, I hope!
But yeah, watching this also made me reconsider switching simply for health, as well. I remember when I considered switching shortly after I left home when I had a problem with milk products, including lactose-free ones. (A problem that resurfaced as morning sickness when I was carrying my son) It's as nearly impossible to find a substitute that tasted any good here. I had one or two good products, but the rest were terrible! XD; I learned to love tofu, though, and it's one of my favorite foods, now, even though I never would've touched before, as it basically resembled soggy bread. Prepared right, though, it can taste like french toast, no animal products required. And chickpeas! I love them in any recipe you can make with chicken, many made with eggs and especially with tomato sauce. I've also had a chickpea "egg" salad, and that was super yummy, too! Vegan recipes are good in their own right, even if they aren't a replacement for meat! I remember seeing lots of yummy recipes on the meal delivery site Purple Carrot. My mom had gotten into meal delivery, and often got too many to use, so passed them on to me. I found that some sites share their recipes, which is awesome if you can't afford the service.
