      Can you tell me why vegans have weaker bones? Why they're more prone to fractures in the hip etc and maybe worse for women? Is it because there's no meat? 🥴🤣
      We are omnivores, humans and children especially thrive off of a healthy diet with meat in it because the proteins are far better, zinc, iron, calcium etc is so much better in this diet.. Any vegan parent depriving their child of a healthy diet is a bad one, simple, and that goes for every vegan that chooses a lamb over their child🤦 meat in the diet is also super important for the elderly who have weak bones already made worse by veganism, if you're in the gym you're having sub oar proteins🤣 that goes for muscle recovery too.

      Congratulations. This makes me so happy to hear. 💚
      My story is the other way around - went vegan for the animals, but then got really invested in health and nutrition since.
      I get so angry when I hear some other vegans say we should only advocate rights based, because people who went vegan for other reasons revert back to consuming animal products - you are a living testament that that isn't necessarily the case.
      Imo they put would be vegans off that might have been thinking of going vegan for reasons other than rights, and animals subsequently suffer. My reasoning is that the most important thing is to stop people from consuming animal products however we can, keeping the person's point of view and motivations in mind, then build on that and helping them gain an understanding about the plight of animals.
      Expecting everyone to make such a drastic shift in their worldview from the outset is not realistic and in the end it unnecessarily excludes people who has the potential to be voices for the animals.

    • @nelsonv741
      @nelsonv741 8 месяцев назад

      Yup! Couldn't agree more. It feels good that no one has to die for my dinner plate. I can't help thinking that some of them acted the Vegan phase to build a following, and then when they realized how much wider an audience they can get by attacking the vegans and quintuple their followers. That applies to most of them. Worst case Miley on Joe Rogan with her BS Brain Fog! What a idiotic thing to say, and zero sense of morality.@@talitaza8862

      ​@@talitaza8862You're absolutely right. Many people go vegan for health and then realize the aspect of not hurting animals. They don't start making up excuses for eating meat because at that point they're no longer invested in eating animals. So it's easier to open their eyes to the truth of the horror. Whatever gets someone to keep animals off their plate, I support.

    I also got a vitamin d deficiency after 12 years of being vegan. The doctor said it’s very common where we live cause it’s not sunny here. I was just really tired and losing hair. Took a supplement for two weeks and that was it.

    Thank you Joey. I wasn't supplementing B12 for 2 years after I went vegan and obviously I got so deficient that I had no serotonin at all, my body was becoming numb, getting tingles in my hands and feet, no energy for anything, I felt suicidal it was horrible but I never blamed it on veganism. It was completely my fault and I never even thought about even going near animal products for solution. I started supplementing B12 and I am perfect now. Never giving up on standing up for animals. If I don't succeed in my current chosen profession I will become a full time animal rights activist solo. Thank you again for everything you do for animals. 💚

    My 3rd veganniversary was in September. I had honestly wanted to go vegan long before I actually decided to, but with my living situation I couldn't see a way to. When I was in school and had more control over my food, I started eating mostly plant-based except for dinner. Dominion was my tipping point. I went completely vegan the next day, started cooking for myself, and I will never go back. I don't need to sustain myself on the deaths of others when there's plenty of good, healthy, delicious plant foods I can have instead.

      That's great! I also went vegan in September three years ago. I also wanted to at least be vegetarian for a long time but life didn't allow it. I almost forgot about it when I for some reason was recommended a video made by a vegan. (Unnatural Vegan) I don't remember what the video was about, only that I suddenly was in a situation in life where I could be not only vegetarian, but actually vegan. Went vegan immediately. (I was vegetarian in the past and also have both education in nutrition and cooking so I was confident I could make the change, but I would recommend step by step change for most people).

    You are amazing. My husbands been vegan for 5 years, daughter about 5.5. I took the plunge on 10/10 because I had been eating so many vegan meals in the last few years (and love it). Im clean from alcohol going on 2 years and I have become way more compassionate, initially for my fellow addicts but more recently animals too (they can't speak and that is actually so heart breaking). The flip side I've become so sensitive. I feel things more than ever before. In fact I've been a hot mess today, jeesh Louise tears for days. I try not to dwell on the past, and remind myself I did not know better. Or I did but I' was aware, that I would be even MORE "different". I'm a healthy 55, hopefully life just gets better and better, in body, mind and soul. I love nature, hiking, etc so I have ways and means to enjoy life to the max.

    I am Vegan eight years and I feel fine!
    To be Vegan is the best decision I made in my life.
    I will be Vegan forever.
    When I made the decision to turn to plant base food was my love for nature and all the living being that living on this planet with us.
    Talking with a friend he told me that the way I was living is called "Veganism"!
    I didn't knew the term Vegan by the time I started. Hello Vegan friends 💚thank you too!
    Joey, I wish you as I wish for me and all friends here to be Vegan forever.

    I have been vegan 9 years now and it was the best decision I had made, my only regret is I wish I have been vegan for all my life ( was long term vegeterian ). I changed because I realized the deep spectrum of hell of animal kingdom has been going through because of fallen humanity on this planet. People like you Joey, Gary Yourofski and other real animal liberation activists are such a mile stones in recent human history. God bless you for your big heart and the gentle soul. My respect🙏❤️☀️

      Yes, couldn't agree more. I went vegan 9 years ago after seeing that Gary Yourofsky video. What a rude awakening to the reality of the horror we inflict on animals!

    Amazing well thought video.
    I guess 10+ years ago we all were having some weird eating patterns when first going vegan before getting access to some quality information.
    My 1st advice (after B12) would be - eat beans (which include all soy products and derivatives, and also peanuts) and healthy fats.

    I’m low in iron and it’s so annoying when anybody finds out and they blame it on my diet. I’ve been vegan for 7 years and I’ve been iron deficient for twice as long. I have also recently been diagnosed with PCOS with one of my symptoms being 3 periods per month. It’s not my diet, I’m just a woman with a common women’s health issue. It’s actually offensive when people think it’s my diet and I honestly wish it was bc it’d come without all the shit people with PCOS have to go through 🙃

      Don't let them intimidate you! I am 71, 12 years Vegan and lost more than 100 pounds permanently, and the few friends who are still around are mostly obese, using canes or walkers, and taking multiples of prescription pills every day. Me? None of those, and the best part of my day is hitting the treadmill. Ignore them!

    Congrats on the milestone! Your knowledge and encouragement is very much appreciated! I have just passed my 8th veganniversary in September, though it has been 13 1/2 years since I ate meat. It was a slow process for me and still learning and making improvements. Not until this year did I really put much thought into what I ate as long as there was no victim in it. I put on some post-menopausal weight that was causing a lot of joint pain and that woke me up. I knew I really needed to make a change to feel better physically and mentally. Cronometer has really helped me to track my nutrition and develop good habits such as being able to judge proper portions and construct balanced meals- but also simultaneously work in the dietary restrictions required to manage a chronic illness. I've lost 65lbs so far and I feel so great about my ability to learn and adjust. Also... I really can't say enough about soy and menopause. I see family and friends around me suffering from so many symptoms that I don't have and I feel strongly that my food choices are a big reason why. But mostly I am vegan because I feel like I am paying back in some way for the life I still have after serious health scares. I owe the universe for sparing me, showing me how to continue... and in turn I need to do as little harm as possible while setting a good example that hopefully leads to fewer animals being sacrificed for pleasure.

When you get to a certain point which usually takes some time it all of sudden becomes unthinkable to go back to the old bad ways.

    Thank you for sharing your life experience and lessons learned to help others. Truly “paying it forward”. Your style is so straightforward and you earned so much more respect by pointing out the mistakes you made along the way & how you’re not perfect. The difference is that you decided it was time to take action and no longer be part of the problem but instead be part of the solution.
    Looking forward to more of your videos. Now you have another subscriber.
    Keep fighting the good fight. These animals need it & deserve it. Compassion is contagious and the world definitely needs more of that for every being…human or animal.

    I eat 1 or 2 huge meals per day. I cram as many veggies, beans, and fruits as my stomach can hold so I can GET OUT of the house and be outside as much as possible. It's not ideal, but I don't have easy access to the kitchen. I can't go back to do 3 meals per day in a group home. I can't eat in the common areas with carnist housemates. So I carry massive bowls of food to my bedroom and eat there.

    Joey, please hear this: I got sober and Vegan too, via macrobiotic, yin/yang training. Michio Kushi said meat is too Yang and alcohol is too Yin, so when folks are drinking and on heavy psychotropic meds, their craving for meat (which Umami throws out a "high") is really strong. One woman, a sponsee in our recovery program, wanted my clean and sober vegan type life, so I worked with her psychiatrist slowly and it took a year, but she lost 90 pounds and became a happy vegan! I'm 85 now and she's a bit younger. Love you.

    I went vegan a few years back, mostly out of self interest reason to want to live more healthy. Along the way, my eyes opened up more to the immense injustice these animals have to go through. And started questioning like.. gosh.. how is this actually "normal"? It also reminded me of my childhood, where i felt more connection with animals.
    So happy to have discovered veganism!! The animals deserve a natural life, just like we want to live freely and naturally. Thank you, you're a true inspiration Joey 💚🤙
