10 years vegan now but unfortunately prior to that I worked as a slaughterhouse/ag inspector for 15 years. I followed my family into this kind of job. It wasn’t till about 10-11 years ago that I heard of the word vegan I tried it didn’t die and the rest is history. The odds where stacked against me but had I known it would have been a no brainer. So if I can do it anyone can. I now spend most if not all of my days advocating for animal rights. Being vegan is simple just look at it from the victims perspective. It’s really a non action replacing a small portion of a plate with beans, legumes, broccoli or whatever .. 🥦🌱
First thing I did when going vegan is educate myself because I knew I would be questioned and likely made fun of for becoming vegan. Watching Dominion made me an animal right activist.
A couple-plus decades ago when it was hardly talked about, you didn't get bashed for being vegan. People were curious when I told them. But now that it's so popular it's become a threat to many. It's a trade-off because it's now 100 times easier to find vegan food & clothes etc. There's also lots of footage to get others to see like Dominion. All they had back in '80s/'90s was The Animals Film (1981) and Hidden Crimes (1986), which convinced me.
Yep. Well-rounded knowledge helps. When you know about zoonotic diseases, USDA and FDA laws and reports about how diseased the animals are and what they're legally allowed to be fed, health, environment, and antibiotic resistance it becomes impossible for someone other than the most apathetic and immoral person to keep eating animals.
@@suicune2001 There's food poisoning from bacteria like salmonella and e coli from eating meat, dairy and eggs that can kill you, that's a fact.. Then there's the filthy conditions of factory farms that create "bird flu" among the birds. But don't get that confused with what's being pushed as "zoonotic" diseases - the idea that something can jump from an animal to a human. Not only is it an unproven theory but it has resulted in the culling of millions of animals like bats, stray dogs, etc. Let's just call it what it is - food poisoning.
@@suicune2001 You have food poisoning from the bacteria in meat, dairy & eggs confused with a conspiracy theory (zoonotic diseases) It's impossible for diseases to hop from animal to humans unless you're injected with their blood.
Thanks for this, David! Being vegan is so incredibly easy in 2024! I went vegan many years ago & even with the limited selection of "vegan" food I never found it to be hard. Today it's like a dream come true - they even have sharp cheese! (the only thing I ever missed) I believe in telling non-vegans how EASY it is to be vegan once you realize what you're eating (corpses, suffering and pus, among other gross ingredients)
I love that attitude -- people have this concept that being vegan is hard but it's not. It's a virtual smorgasbord out there for new vegans & I have seen such massive positive changes recently. We're way past the ignored stage now!
A really useful video! I always thought going vegan would be virtually impossible, so while I sympathised with it and respected vegans, it was never going to be for me, despite my on/off relationship with vegetarianism (it always felt like an inconvenience to others, and I spent too much time worrying about what others thought). I went mostly plant based first for health, then environment, and soon found it was easy to live a full and healthy life without exploiting and killing animals. I then found Earthling Ed and saw what the animals really went through and knew I would never go back. Im now vegan for over 4 years and do street activism. I'd love to have seen a video like this early in my journey. We all make mistakes, just learn from them and keep going. Dont let the perfect be the enemy of the good, live vegan 💚
Watched Earthlings 10 years ago, went vegan overnight. The only place to get advice at that time was going to H&B. I also got a book by Rose Elliot. As you say it was hard back then. Sad to say am the only vegan in my family. Have Never Regretted the change. I watched all the video. Joey & Ed are the vegans I first watched online, and found your channel summer last year. So much easier to do the right thing by being Vegan, now.
I've been vegan nearly 9 year's now , and before that a vegetarian for 40 year's, back in the day there was no internet and very little info on veganism, it was hard enough being veggie , i wish i knew then what i know now as i would have become vegan then. But at least i found the way forward. Vegan for life.
Excellent video, very helpful,we need to see more videos like this. When you go vegan you will feel so good physically and mentally you will wish you had become vegan sooner. The biggest regret most vegans have is that they wish they had become vegan sooner. Lots of free wonderful nutritious recipes available, great vegan community and all the help you need. When you become vegan please tell everyone you know everything you know about the Animal Holocaust, remaining silent does nothing to help the Animals.
I went Vegan because before Kindergarten I observed a family's children skinning a mountain lion they killed only to get its Leather coat. Also, heard the Pigs my Filthy Rich Grandmother had in her Estate back property get killed violently each time they wanted to throw a party! Also, watched two of my loved chickens that were given as a gift to me by my Aunt (poor and humble side of family) be killed because they were VERY unusually large chickens- ONLY cause my Narcissists Father promised my Chickens (they were not pets, they were FAMILY to me) to his disgusting family for Chicken Soup for a hang out at their Ranch, he didn't care that I loved them and that those Chickens loved me more than my Narcissists Father himself AND his ignorant filthy rich family combined. He even had my Mom force me to drink chicken soup and to consume some chicken flesh at the Goddamn Ranch hangout! Also, I've always been a loyal, kind, honest, and a loving person, so I'm naturally compassionate and suffer the pain of being compassionate unlike the commonfolk (which tbh, I've only been made fun of and outcasted by the common folk for this). When I got a job with a work permit at age 15 in High School I became vegetarian and was vegetarian for over a decade, then I went Vegan as the lifestyle choice I knew I'd eventually take since the first time I heard of it being made fun of by people that also made fun of me wanting to be Vegetarian when I was only a child in early grade school. Being Vegan is non-negotiable for me, because I must be Vegan to truly be ME, which is the ONLY person I could be and EVER want to be!
Sorry about your chickens. I had a duck I raised since he was a baby and when he grew up my grandmother gave him away to some friend of hers that killed him and ate him..
16:45 These are some great tips.👍👍 There is no good reason why a balanced diet would suddenly become a crappy diet if you replace animal products with high-protein plant-based alternatives. If you already eat a balanced diet before you turn vegan the transition becomes much easier.
I am vegan for almost a year now and I already made one person vegan. We were watching a documentary from my country together so he wasn't alone since it is so hard to watch. The feeling of having impact about this topic is just amazing. I was all alone on that so it's a pleasure to me to help somebody else go vegan.
Going vegan is the best thing you'll ever do! Biggest regret is not going vegan sooner! And be the preachy vegan! The slow/long game is not effective - these animals are dying! It's not a mere diet or personal choice! I've got 2 family members vegan and at least 3 friends - and am continuing to influence more online and in person - stand up for the animals and keep chipping away! Yes, people will feel guilty, some feel attacked - no matter how soft your activism is - but the message will soften over time... Keep chipping away! Great video David! Big love! Was cool to meet you at camp out! 💚
Been vegan for two years now and it's the most normal thing in the world to me now. The world is carnistic, yes, and I see this norm as wrong altogether. Found two very close friends via veganism. Did activism and it was great. Tasted amazing food, felt good. Welcome to the vegan plane, fasten your seatbelt and let's go!
I went vegan in January of 2008 at the age of 15 after seeing slaughterhouse and factory farm footage for the first time. I didn't even know the word vegan, I just knew I didn't want to pay for animals to suffer so I wouldn't buy or consume those things anymore. It wasn't until months later that I learned there was a word for what I was doing.
because if most other people do it, it can't be that bad? they only care about being seen as bad not actually being bad, perhaps. I know when I was younger I never questioned any of this because i loved my family and thought they were good people so i assumed they would never partake in anything bad. I was wrong.
Thank you for this! Mt BFF has finally decided to go vegan after years of flip-flop vegan-vegetarian-pescatarian. I have sent her lots of resources but you've put it all in one video. I'm so proud of her. She even wants to do activism and has already found slaughterhouses and farms in her area to do vigils.
You mentioned carmine - that takes me back. When I went vegan 20 years ago, I started trying different fruit juices to improve my diet. I drank a carrot juice blend about 3 months in while reading the ingredient list before looking it up, and discovered it was colored with bug blood. I thought to myself "didnt know, no harm no foul, but eughhh"😵 Going vegan definately teaches you to know what you're putting in your body.
@@davidrammsOne thing you can grant the US labels, at least we don't have e-numbers. Just wondered, do you memorize which ones aren't vegan or what? Keep up the great work!
After watching Cop Body Cams of DUI arrests of dozens of drunk crazy people, you realize how insane and brainless alcohol makes you. Good for you for not drinking -- I gave it up 14 years ago, it just doesn't go with the vegan mindset, which should be lucid and intuitive.
@@biancat.1873 popular animal derived fining agents used in the production of wine include blood and bone marrow , casein ( milk protein ) , chitin ( fibre from crustacean shells) , egg albumen ( derived from egg whites ) ,fish oíl, gelatin ( protein from boiling animal parts ) , and isinglass ( gelatin from fish bladder membranes ) . Some styles of beer use non vegan finings and also contain fish products. And thats not including spirits which often contain honey and other animal products. So, quite bad in general. Best not to drink any alcohol.
@@biancat.1873 FWIW, it's not "through" a fish bladder, it's through a film made from fishes swim bladder, i.e. isinglass, a form of collagen obtained from the dried swim (not urine) bladders of fish. In short, it's powder to make a jelly like film on top of alcohol, that then filters down through it.
What a world we live in, a place where we have to age restrict videos that really only show how our every day food is produced, food that most claim is perfectly natural, yet the sight of it's production chills us to the core. Yeah, perfectly natural indeed. Sure it is.
I went vegan after my partner and I took in an injured bird, who we nursed back to health. While bonding with the bird and caring for them, I realised that I was cooking chicken for dinner one day. I couldn't help but think to myself that if I had found an injured chicken, that I would have cared for them just the same. So why was I paying for them to be killed and suffer? I decided to go vegan for a month, and I soon realised that it was way easier than I could have ever imagined. I never looked back, and have been vegan for 3+ years now. I just wish I had made the connection sooner.
Amazing story thank you for sharing I love how so many people out there look out for little birds and hedgehogs, I wish more of them would make this important connection like you
Great video, we definitely need videos like this one! And for your question: I went vegan after watching Joey Carbstrong, commented "steak" in his comment section, then he recommended Earthlings, which I watched out of curiosity and was shocked and decided to learn how to be vegan from there.
When I just went vegan, I ignored all products that said chicken or cheese flavor etc. on it. Nowadays I find products that look not-vegan to be vegan quite a bit. Like chicken noodles, or crisps that say they have bacon or cheese flavor. I found some vegan versions that just contain artificial flavorings. And internet makes it so easy to double check at the company when in doubt and by making those enquiries you are also speaking up for animals, since you are letting them know, there is demand for vegan products. 🌱✊
Excellent David!👌 I met you at the Vegan Camp Out in the summer. It's also good to have someone like you in the public eye to get more inspiration for my activism..💚
Great video, David! MY STORY: I went vegan about 4 years ago. I was a flexitarian (didn't eat meat at home) for 1 year after watching Cowspiracy and What the Health. One day I watched Earthling Ed's TED Talk and 15 minutes of Dominion. I got a very emotional response, got the connection and went vegan overnight. I have watched so much animal suffering as being an online activist, but seeing this 3 min video I still cried. Humankind is fucked up and we have to open each other's eyes and develop and evolve ethically.
I've been vegan for 3 years now and my girlfriend (who used to basically be a chocolate addict) went vegan soon after because of me passing the knowledge I learned on to her. Thank you David for making this video. You're an amazing soul and your work is making a positive impact on the world every single day
Your question about what inspired us to go vegan, has a multilayered answer for me. One key moment was when I received a flyer from Vegan Outreach, which sealed the deal as I saw the suffering that I had not wanted to know, before but had suspected and felt uncomfortable about.... having recently been to an excellent nutritionist who noted that legumes are a much better source of protein, in fact, superior for humans, gave me the permission to allow myself to feel since I finally realized that we did not need meat to be healthy.
I used to eat a lot of meat, I saw a video of a chicken factory 10 years ago and I became a vegetarian that same day. As a child I believed that vegans were people who didn't like the taste of animal products, I never imagined it was for a moral issue. Then I came across Gary Yourofsky's video, started watching documentaries, and it became clear to me that veganism was the only way to align my actions with my values.
Thanks for this video, I wish I would have seen this when I realized the harm eating animals and animal products causes, and decided to go vegan. I bet this is useful for many!
Thank you @davidramms for another great video. I had been a vegetarian for many years and then I discovered Gary Yourofsky and 'the most important speech you will ever hear' on RUclips and my life changed forever. I've seen Dominion several times and that short clip you showed still distresses me. Thank you to everyone who is and/or considering going Vegan for the animals 🍃
Carmine or Cochineal is also known as E120, natural red 4, or C.I. 75470. It's used to make foods red or pink. Can be found in candy, yogurts, and even cosmetics.
This is the perfect video for anyone who decided to go vegan. I wish I had this back in my time. Luckily, with the right motivation, I was able to find my way through things. This is a great compilation of the most important things. Awesome job man. I wish stupid RUclips wasn’t being petty, this is a great resource.
Don't listen to those people promising it will be so easy. It isn't easy for everyone, it's OK to find it hard. Don't be discouraged if you slide back into old habits. Some quit cold turkey (pun intended) for others the journey is more varied. Eating some animal products is understandable, just keep trying. Don't be put off by self-righteous vegans pompously berating you if you fail. Those sanctimonious *ssholes are a blight on the community. Don't feel compelled to now also engage in activism or debate. It isn't obligatory, don't let anyone guilt you into doing more than you want. Don't engage with meat trolls. If you do fall into that trap, never confess any weakness or vulnerability, they are rarely reasonable or genuine and will use your genuine vulnerability as mockery. You have to face those cowards down like dogs, not a backwards step or sign of weakness. Do research on what to eat. It takes time to learn and develop good eating habits. It's hard to track it (with chronometer or some other app) but it's great as a learning tool until yoy figure stuff out.
David, how do you explain long-time vegans (30-plus years) like Clif Grant, Will Tuttle, Gary Yourofsky, who have never taken B12? Nor have I my entire life (I'm in my 60s, been vegan 26 years) It was patented by Merck in 1948 as a replacement for the raw cow’s liver that allegedly treated “pernicious anemia," a rare autoimmune disorder. It’s made in drug labs using antibiotics like streptomycin and neomycin made from genetically engineered bacteria. The tests for B12 only detect synthetic forms, not the actual beneficial bacteria that exists naturally in a healthy human gut. It does not come from dirt, feces or contaminated water like you’re told.
Are you're all raw food nuts? Firstly, there's no "allegedly" in B12 curing pernicious anemia. It did & continues to do so. Secondly, the B12 in supplements isn't synthetic. It's naturally fermented it. It is possible to make synthetic B12 but it's huge complex & expensive to do so, & there's absolutely no reason to do so. You're talking confused garbage.
@@harveyplantharvester1502 The only good thing about you not talking B12 is that eventually the neuropathy will kick in, and you wont be able type this nonsense on the internet. Sorry, loads of real world science to support that vegans suffer from B12 deficiencies, & the harm it causes. I wish the whole raw food/fruitarian cult would fukk off a million miles from the vegan movement, or keep their shit to themselves. The raw food/fruitarian cult been the cause of 99% of bad PR that the vegan movement has suffered & it has ABSOLUTELY zero to do with veganism.
And people, when we went vegan, We just left animal's off the plate, just put more of the other stuff. Brought plant base milk, can't tell the difference. Easy as, No cruelty. been vegan 12 years by the way.🙂
You asked for a comment so here it is, though I don't have an "inspiring story". I went pescatarian (someone who doesn't eat meat unless it came from a fish or shellfish) on my 25th Birthday in May of 2018. For a while leading up to that day I'd been thinking about how it doesn't seem fair that I would kill so many animals over my lifetime just for the meals I ate. However I didn't go vegan or vegetarian as I was afraid of giving up things I liked and also because I was concerned about protein and nutrition. I was uncomfortable from the start though. My decision, even though it was my own, made no sense to me. Fishes were animals too, so why would I continue to eat them? And what about the cows and chickens farmed for the dairy and eggs I was still consuming, didn't they matter as much as the cows and chickens I had stopped eating? After just a few months I bit the bullet, and went vegan. Immediately I felt better. There was so much to learn at first. Clothing, entertainment, cosmetic testing, medical testing. So many ways animals were harmed, exploited, and abused that I didn't necessarily think of before. Also there was learning about where I was getting all my nutrition, something I'd never even thought about as a carnist but that (due to animal ag propaganda) I felt a bit concerned about. I started by interacting with other vegans, first on reddit and RUclips and later Facebook. I learned so much about veganism and animal rights this way. Actually living vegan was super easy. Perhaps many years ago being vegan was inconvenient, but for me where I live the transition was effortless. You may make a couple of mistakes at first, just make sure you learn from them. Once I had enough confidence in myself I became more outspoken about animal rights and everyone's moral obligation to live vegan. It's important to not just be vegan but to encourage others to go vegan as well, that's how we'll create a better world. So that's what I'd want new vegans to keep in mind - get comfortable first, then make yourself a bit uncomfortable by speaking to non-vegans about the issues surrounding animal ag and the harm they're causing. Not everyone will react kindly to you, but don't get discouraged. You've at least planted some seeds as they say, and that's often all you can do. Just keep an eye on those seeds and some might grow and surprise you. They did for me. So yeah, boring story, but thank you David and everyone else who decides to live vegan in a predominantly non-vegan world. You're doing great.
@Sohaibshumailah Be careful with D3 - most is made from lanolin in sheep's wool and contains an anti-coagulant used in rodenticides to bleed out rats called cholecalciferol. Just go out in the sun 3 times a week for 10 mins. As for B12, it's made from genetically engineered bacteria, originally from raw cow's liver. Just eat plants from the B-complex group, that will generate beneficial bacteria in your gut. Stay away from antibiotics.
@@SSStofu008 Ignore everything that mikethats4thebirds is saying, it's completely unscientific & nonsense. Vegan D is made from lichen. Data from Tata Labs revealed that nearly 76% of the Indian population suffers from vitamin D deficiency, so the sun is not enough, even for people living in tropical regions. Nutritional yeast does not produce nor have any B12 in it naturally, any B12 in it has had to have been supplemented from the same sources as that in actual supplements. Same too with plant milks. It's simply not true that the bacteria used to make B12 come from cow's liver. Yes, it is true that back in the 1940s, it was discovered that raw liver cured B12 deficiencies but we are a LONG way down the line from there. I'm guessing that Mike is a raw food/fruitarian type. These people are nuts. Dangerous cranks that have been a blight on the vegan movement since at least the 1970s. 99% of them aren't even vegans. They have no ethics. They're just health freaks, into themselves, their physical "purity", & a mythical concept of nature.
Remember. Vegans don't stop fighting for the animals. All animals deserve their right to life! Including the fish and all wild animals. All earthlings deserve freedom from suffering, and we should do our best as fellow earthlings to protect the vulnerable and suffering.
Thank you for this guide, David 🙏 I was just gonna wrap a banana in some vegan leather and have that since I've decided to go vegan for the first time in my life!
Hey, David, I disagree you need to learn new cooking skills, it's just simple substitution. Fruits and salads don't need cooking, there's plant-milk based for all dairy products, plant-based chicken, veg burgers etc. I substituted legumes for meat, and I did start making my own lentils and chickpeas (soaked first) because they taste 1000 times better than cans. It's also a myth you need eggs for baking, that's propaganda from the '50s. What did I need a recipe for except for maybe my own carrot cake or hummus????
So the first thing a new vegan has to do is start taking pills??? As if meat & dairy had some magical nutrients you suddenly can't live without SMH If I wasn't already vegan this would really put me off
As explained in the video, animals are supplemented, so non vegans are already taking supplements, just filtered through an animal The advice is to be on the safe side, and it’s advice for both vegans and non vegans to cover the bases
If someone is into the “all natural” way of living, no processed or fortified foods all that kind of stuff, that’s their choice My advice in this video is general, to ensure whoever listens won’t end up deficient in anything
@@davidramms These supplements are pushed by animal ag & drug companies to demonize the plant-based diet as unnatural and lacking. Studies prove humans have beneficial bacteria in their own healthy guts naturally. B12 was created from bacteria in raw cow’s liver in a drug lab - that's nasty. Do we need animal liver bacteria??? Look up the history of B12.
3 Questions >Why was B12 labeled as a B vitamin when it doesn’t even belong in the B-complex group of vitamins found in dozens of plants? >Why is B12 the only “nutrient” (bacteria/vitamin) that disappears AFTER THE DIRT HAS BEEN WASHED OFF, yet all other vitamins, minerals and essential nutrients are still readily available in vegetables and fruits that have been washed? >If B12 only originates in bacteria found in soil/dirt, feces/manure, non-purified/unsanitized water, and unwashed food, then where are the drug companies who make these synthetic supplements getting the bacteria from?
sotv2045, so are you saying that because you don't want to pay a little more for vegan cheese you have no problem with dairy cows being forcibly bred/raped every year so they will produce milk ? You approve of new born male dairy calves being murdered shortly after birth because they don't produce milk ? The babies are not allowed to have their mothers milk. Dairy cows are very maternal, they cry and grieve for weeks after their babies have been stolen from them. When the cows are about 6 years old they are exhausted after being bred and continously milked so they are sent to slaughter where they are violently murdered. Cows naturally live into their twenties. While you are eating your cheese please give some thought to the suffering and death you have caused by purchasing a piece of cheese. The cow is not your mother the milk is not your milk. Be kind,live a non violent life.
@@jjradV I didn't read all that. I suppose it says the cows are badly treated (to say the least) - which I am aware of. Your browbeating does nothing for me, it just turns me off if anything. I stopped eating eggs about 2 years ago (but I very rarely ate eggs anyway). The cheese I can't imagine I'll stop until I can find a viable alternative (doesn't even have to taste that good). I was more hoping for some practical suggestions, but it's cool no rush. Maybe the price of dairy will continue to rise and the vegan alternatives will become more competetive, or perhaps I'll still be eating cheese in 5 years time, who knows!
@@sotv2045 it takes compassion and courage to stop eating foods that cause suffering and death to kind innocent defenseless sentient beings. Not everyone is capable.
@@jjradV I'm not looking to become an aggressive militant nutter vegan anyway, so I don't mind being judged for my lack of compassion or whatever. Just that my diet is already vegan aside from the cough hmm hmm.
@@tomlaurisThey are plant based not vegan. Vegans never go back. And those who do go back its because they dont plan it properly. Also who says it was solely because of health? They could go back for taste. And Its like saying 90% of bodybuilders quit on new years revolution. When watch you slaughter house footage you NEVER go back.

Hey David. I wanna start making vegan videos but I don't know how. Any advice? I only have a phone btw
A phone is all you need! You could start out with Shorts and Reels, 30-60 second videos

The more you do it the better you'll get, and when you get good at it you could move on to longer videos, what do you think?
I wonder if age restricted because of the word transitionning and the conservatism around trans issues? Crazy if so but could be.
RUclips is so bad about this. Can't even show how food is made. I ran into this a few times already as well. Keep up the good work, David 💚💚
@dj.h7424 it happened with other versions of the video with different titles too unfortunately
10 years vegan now but unfortunately prior to that I worked as a slaughterhouse/ag inspector for 15 years. I followed my family into this kind of job. It wasn’t till about 10-11 years ago that I heard of the word vegan I tried it didn’t die and the rest is history. The odds where stacked against me but had I known it would have been a no brainer. So if I can do it anyone can.

(the only thing I ever missed) I believe in telling non-vegans how EASY it is to be vegan once you realize what you're eating (corpses, suffering and pus, among other gross ingredients)
I love that attitude -- people have this concept that being vegan is hard but it's not. It's a virtual smorgasbord out there for new vegans & I have seen such massive positive changes recently. We're way past the ignored stage now!
A really useful video! I always thought going vegan would be virtually impossible, so while I sympathised with it and respected vegans, it was never going to be for me, despite my on/off relationship with vegetarianism (it always felt like an inconvenience to others, and I spent too much time worrying about what others thought). I went mostly plant based first for health, then environment, and soon found it was easy to live a full and healthy life without exploiting and killing animals. I then found Earthling Ed and saw what the animals really went through and knew I would never go back. Im now vegan for over 4 years and do street activism. I'd love to have seen a video like this early in my journey. We all make mistakes, just learn from them and keep going. Dont let the perfect be the enemy of the good, live vegan 💚
Watched Earthlings 10 years ago, went vegan overnight. The only place to get advice at that time was going to H&B. I also got a book by Rose Elliot. As you say it was hard back then. Sad to say am the only vegan in my family. Have Never Regretted the change. I watched all the video. Joey & Ed are the vegans I first watched online, and found your channel summer last year. So much easier to do the right thing by being Vegan, now.
I've been vegan nearly 9 year's now , and before that a vegetarian for 40 year's, back in the day there was no internet and very little info on veganism, it was hard enough being veggie , i wish i knew then what i know now as i would have become vegan then. But at least i found the way forward.
Vegan for life.
Excellent video, very helpful,we need to see more videos like this.
When you go vegan you will feel so good physically and mentally you will wish you had become vegan sooner.
The biggest regret most vegans have is that they wish they had become vegan sooner.
Lots of free wonderful nutritious recipes available, great vegan community and all the help you need.
When you become vegan please tell everyone you know everything you know about the Animal Holocaust, remaining silent does nothing to help the Animals.
I went Vegan because before Kindergarten I observed a family's children skinning a mountain lion they killed only to get its Leather coat. Also, heard the Pigs my Filthy Rich Grandmother had in her Estate back property get killed violently each time they wanted to throw a party! Also, watched two of my loved chickens that were given as a gift to me by my Aunt (poor and humble side of family) be killed because they were VERY unusually large chickens- ONLY cause my Narcissists Father promised my Chickens (they were not pets, they were FAMILY to me) to his disgusting family for Chicken Soup for a hang out at their Ranch, he didn't care that I loved them and that those Chickens loved me more than my Narcissists Father himself AND his ignorant filthy rich family combined. He even had my Mom force me to drink chicken soup and to consume some chicken flesh at the Goddamn Ranch hangout! Also, I've always been a loyal, kind, honest, and a loving person, so I'm naturally compassionate and suffer the pain of being compassionate unlike the commonfolk (which tbh, I've only been made fun of and outcasted by the common folk for this). When I got a job with a work permit at age 15 in High School I became vegetarian and was vegetarian for over a decade, then I went Vegan as the lifestyle choice I knew I'd eventually take since the first time I heard of it being made fun of by people that also made fun of me wanting to be Vegetarian when I was only a child in early grade school. Being Vegan is non-negotiable for me, because I must be Vegan to truly be ME, which is the ONLY person I could be and EVER want to be!
Sorry about your chickens. I had a duck I raised since he was a baby and when he grew up my grandmother gave him away to some friend of hers that killed him and ate him..
16:45 These are some great tips.👍👍
There is no good reason why a balanced diet would suddenly become a crappy diet if you replace animal products with high-protein plant-based alternatives.
If you already eat a balanced diet before you turn vegan the transition becomes much easier.
I am vegan for almost a year now and I already made one person vegan. We were watching a documentary from my country together so he wasn't alone since it is so hard to watch. The feeling of having impact about this topic is just amazing. I was all alone on that so it's a pleasure to me to help somebody else go vegan.
💚🌱that is amazing!
Going vegan is the best thing you'll ever do! Biggest regret is not going vegan sooner!
And be the preachy vegan! The slow/long game is not effective - these animals are dying! It's not a mere diet or personal choice!
I've got 2 family members vegan and at least 3 friends - and am continuing to influence more online and in person - stand up for the animals and keep chipping away!
Yes, people will feel guilty, some feel attacked - no matter how soft your activism is - but the message will soften over time... Keep chipping away!
Great video David! Big love! Was cool to meet you at camp out! 💚
💚🌱
Been vegan for two years now and it's the most normal thing in the world to me now. The world is carnistic, yes, and I see this norm as wrong altogether. Found two very close friends via veganism. Did activism and it was great. Tasted amazing food, felt good. Welcome to the vegan plane, fasten your seatbelt and let's go!
I went vegan in January of 2008 at the age of 15 after seeing slaughterhouse and factory farm footage for the first time. I didn't even know the word vegan, I just knew I didn't want to pay for animals to suffer so I wouldn't buy or consume those things anymore. It wasn't until months later that I learned there was a word for what I was doing.
💚🌱that is awesome
I have a question. How can somebody consider themselves a good person if they know what we do to animals but still funds it?
because if most other people do it, it can't be that bad? they only care about being seen as bad not actually being bad, perhaps.
I know when I was younger I never questioned any of this because i loved my family and thought they were good people so i assumed they would never partake in anything bad. I was wrong.
Because they are trapped in the matrix
Great video! It's really not that hard to go vegan as people make it out to be.
I wonder why this is age restricted🧐
Thank you for this! Mt BFF has finally decided to go vegan after years of flip-flop vegan-vegetarian-pescatarian. I have sent her lots of resources but you've put it all in one video. I'm so proud of her. She even wants to do activism and has already found slaughterhouses and farms in her area to do vigils.
15 years vegan not going back!
You mentioned carmine - that takes me back.
When I went vegan 20 years ago, I started trying different fruit juices to improve my diet. I drank a carrot juice blend about 3 months in while reading the ingredient list before looking it up, and discovered it was colored with bug blood.
I thought to myself "didnt know, no harm no foul, but eughhh"😵
Going vegan definately teaches you to know what you're putting in your body.
They sneak animal products into so many foods, it's crazy when you start looking at what you're eating and drinking right?
@@davidrammsOne thing you can grant the US labels, at least we don't have e-numbers. Just wondered, do you memorize which ones aren't vegan or what?
Keep up the great work!
P.P.S another thing to watch out for is alcohol as a lot of it is not vegan .
I don't drink any alcohol of any discription ..Proud to be vegan .
After watching Cop Body Cams of DUI arrests of dozens of drunk crazy people, you realize how insane and brainless alcohol makes you. Good for you for not drinking -- I gave it up 14 years ago, it just doesn't go with the vegan mindset, which should be lucid and intuitive.
Yes, wines are filtered with gelatine or through a fish bladder, for example
@@biancat.1873 yeah, quite repulsive
@@biancat.1873 popular animal derived fining agents used in the production of wine include blood and bone marrow , casein ( milk protein ) , chitin ( fibre from crustacean shells) , egg albumen ( derived from egg whites ) ,fish oíl, gelatin ( protein from boiling animal parts ) , and isinglass ( gelatin from fish bladder membranes ) .
Some styles of beer use non vegan finings and also contain fish products.
And thats not including spirits which often contain honey and other animal products.
So, quite bad in general. Best not to drink any alcohol.
@@biancat.1873 FWIW, it's not "through" a fish bladder, it's through a film made from fishes swim bladder, i.e. isinglass, a form of collagen obtained from the dried swim (not urine) bladders of fish. In short, it's powder to make a jelly like film on top of alcohol, that then filters down through it.
What a world we live in, a place where we have to age restrict videos that really only show how our every day food is produced, food that most claim is perfectly natural, yet the sight of it's production chills us to the core. Yeah, perfectly natural indeed. Sure it is.
At least the meatflake trolls can't watch the video now😂
@@ARKSURVIVOR879 It says age-restricted -- not IQ-restricted.
@@Empathy4Animals411 Still no trolls which means its working.
I went vegan after my partner and I took in an injured bird, who we nursed back to health. While bonding with the bird and caring for them, I realised that I was cooking chicken for dinner one day. I couldn't help but think to myself that if I had found an injured chicken, that I would have cared for them just the same. So why was I paying for them to be killed and suffer? I decided to go vegan for a month, and I soon realised that it was way easier than I could have ever imagined. I never looked back, and have been vegan for 3+ years now. I just wish I had made the connection sooner.
Amazing story thank you for sharing
I love how so many people out there look out for little birds and hedgehogs, I wish more of them would make this important connection like you
💚🌱
Great break down! I hope others find this helpful, appreciate your work and I think the animals do too!
P.S. awesome video and great inspiration for new vegan's .
Great tips ✊💛 No reason to not be vegan in 2024!! or any other year ,)
Great video, we definitely need videos like this one!
And for your question: I went vegan after watching Joey Carbstrong, commented "steak" in his comment section, then he recommended Earthlings, which I watched out of curiosity and was shocked and decided to learn how to be vegan from there.
When I just went vegan, I ignored all products that said chicken or cheese flavor etc. on it. Nowadays I find products that look not-vegan to be vegan quite a bit. Like chicken noodles, or crisps that say they have bacon or cheese flavor. I found some vegan versions that just contain artificial flavorings. And internet makes it so easy to double check at the company when in doubt and by making those enquiries you are also speaking up for animals, since you are letting them know, there is demand for vegan products. 🌱✊
💚🌱
Excellent David!👌 I met you at the Vegan Camp Out in the summer. It's also good to have someone like you in the public eye to get more inspiration for my activism..💚
Great video, David!
MY STORY: I went vegan about 4 years ago. I was a flexitarian (didn't eat meat at home) for 1 year after watching Cowspiracy and What the Health. One day I watched Earthling Ed's TED Talk and 15 minutes of Dominion. I got a very emotional response, got the connection and went vegan overnight. I have watched so much animal suffering as being an online activist, but seeing this 3 min video I still cried. Humankind is fucked up and we have to open each other's eyes and develop and evolve ethically.
I've been vegan for 3 years now and my girlfriend (who used to basically be a chocolate addict) went vegan soon after because of me passing the knowledge I learned on to her. Thank you David for making this video. You're an amazing soul and your work is making a positive impact on the world every single day
If you're thinking about it, it's totally worth it! You'll feel so good in so many aspects, do it for them 🐮🐷🐥🐰🐟🦃+
Your question about what inspired us to go vegan, has a multilayered answer for me. One key moment was when I received a flyer from Vegan Outreach, which sealed the deal as I saw the suffering that I had not wanted to know, before but had suspected and felt uncomfortable about.... having recently been to an excellent nutritionist who noted that legumes are a much better source of protein, in fact, superior for humans, gave me the permission to allow myself to feel since I finally realized that we did not need meat to be healthy.
Great video for all the beginning vegans , ridiculous that this video is age restricted. Peace 👍👏🙏🌱🙂
Agreed. At least 99% of trolls can't comment because they're to young😂
Great Info. Thx 💪🏻🌱
I used to eat a lot of meat, I saw a video of a chicken factory 10 years ago and I became a vegetarian that same day. As a child I believed that vegans were people who didn't like the taste of animal products, I never imagined it was for a moral issue. Then I came across Gary Yourofsky's video, started watching documentaries, and it became clear to me that veganism was the only way to align my actions with my values.
Very simple yet informative. The clip was a hard watch but visuals are needed to make that connection. Well done!
Thank you David. ❤
Thanks for this video, I wish I would have seen this when I realized the harm eating animals and animal products causes, and decided to go vegan. I bet this is useful for many!
Yess the perfect guide. Thanks for putting it out there!
Thank you @davidramms for another great video. I had been a vegetarian for many years and then I discovered Gary Yourofsky and 'the most important speech you will ever hear' on RUclips and my life changed forever. I've seen Dominion several times and that short clip you showed still distresses me. Thank you to everyone who is and/or considering going Vegan for the animals 🍃
This video is important and shouldn't be restricted.
Carmine or Cochineal is also known as E120, natural red 4, or C.I. 75470. It's used to make foods red or pink. Can be found in candy, yogurts, and even cosmetics.
This is an incredible video! Great work!
Thank you 💚🐾🌱
Keep up the Amazing work!
Thanks for the great video! ❤
Thanks for posting this and spreading vegan message
lots of great information!!💚💚💚💚🌱
L-cystiene in bread and other food items is another one to watch out for because most is derived from animal based sources.
This is the perfect video for anyone who decided to go vegan. I wish I had this back in my time. Luckily, with the right motivation, I was able to find my way through things. This is a great compilation of the most important things. Awesome job man. I wish stupid RUclips wasn’t being petty, this is a great resource.
Remember WHY you're vegan 🐷🐮🐣🐟❤
Don't listen to those people promising it will be so easy. It isn't easy for everyone, it's OK to find it hard.
Don't be discouraged if you slide back into old habits. Some quit cold turkey (pun intended) for others the journey is more varied. Eating some animal products is understandable, just keep trying.
Don't be put off by self-righteous vegans pompously berating you if you fail. Those sanctimonious *ssholes are a blight on the community.
Don't feel compelled to now also engage in activism or debate. It isn't obligatory, don't let anyone guilt you into doing more than you want.
Don't engage with meat trolls. If you do fall into that trap, never confess any weakness or vulnerability, they are rarely reasonable or genuine and will use your genuine vulnerability as mockery. You have to face those cowards down like dogs, not a backwards step or sign of weakness.
Do research on what to eat. It takes time to learn and develop good eating habits. It's hard to track it (with chronometer or some other app) but it's great as a learning tool until yoy figure stuff out.
A LOT of truth bombs here! Thanks
Thank you Josh, please help me out and share the video!
David, how do you explain long-time vegans (30-plus years) like Clif Grant, Will Tuttle, Gary Yourofsky, who have never taken B12? Nor have I my entire life (I'm in my 60s, been vegan 26 years) It was patented by Merck in 1948 as a replacement for the raw cow’s liver that allegedly treated “pernicious anemia," a rare autoimmune disorder. It’s made in drug labs using antibiotics like streptomycin and neomycin made from genetically engineered bacteria.
The tests for B12 only detect synthetic forms, not the actual beneficial bacteria that exists naturally in a healthy human gut. It does not come from dirt, feces or contaminated water like you’re told.
I don't take any supplements. Not sure why they're pushed so heavily except it's a lucrative business.
@mikethats4thebirds600 I was bummed that the first advice in the video is start taking pills, it's simply not true obviously..
Are you're all raw food nuts? Firstly, there's no "allegedly" in B12 curing pernicious anemia. It did & continues to do so. Secondly, the B12 in supplements isn't synthetic. It's naturally fermented it. It is possible to make synthetic B12 but it's huge complex & expensive to do so, & there's absolutely no reason to do so. You're talking confused garbage.
@@harveyplantharvester1502 The only good thing about you not talking B12 is that eventually the neuropathy will kick in, and you wont be able type this nonsense on the internet. Sorry, loads of real world science to support that vegans suffer from B12 deficiencies, & the harm it causes. I wish the whole raw food/fruitarian cult would fukk off a million miles from the vegan movement, or keep their shit to themselves.
The raw food/fruitarian cult been the cause of 99% of bad PR that the vegan movement has suffered & it has ABSOLUTELY zero to do with veganism.
Amazing work!! ♥️
Great video. Don't understand why they have restricted it.
THANK YOUU
Can u name some good cheese alternatives ? Ive tried a couple that taste plastic like
Great video David!
And people, when we went vegan, We just left animal's off the plate, just put more of the other stuff. Brought plant base milk, can't tell the difference. Easy as, No cruelty. been vegan 12 years by the way.🙂
Amazing video David!
❤❤❤❤❤❤
Some plant milks have Iodine, some don't. I always go for the ones that do.
I go for the plant milks that don't contain any synthetic vitamins. I don't take supplements & I don't want them in my food either - they're toxic.
Thanks for sharing, vegan is the way
You asked for a comment so here it is, though I don't have an "inspiring story".
I went pescatarian (someone who doesn't eat meat unless it came from a fish or shellfish) on my 25th Birthday in May of 2018. For a while leading up to that day I'd been thinking about how it doesn't seem fair that I would kill so many animals over my lifetime just for the meals I ate. However I didn't go vegan or vegetarian as I was afraid of giving up things I liked and also because I was concerned about protein and nutrition. I was uncomfortable from the start though. My decision, even though it was my own, made no sense to me. Fishes were animals too, so why would I continue to eat them? And what about the cows and chickens farmed for the dairy and eggs I was still consuming, didn't they matter as much as the cows and chickens I had stopped eating? After just a few months I bit the bullet, and went vegan. Immediately I felt better.
There was so much to learn at first. Clothing, entertainment, cosmetic testing, medical testing. So many ways animals were harmed, exploited, and abused that I didn't necessarily think of before. Also there was learning about where I was getting all my nutrition, something I'd never even thought about as a carnist but that (due to animal ag propaganda) I felt a bit concerned about. I started by interacting with other vegans, first on reddit and RUclips and later Facebook. I learned so much about veganism and animal rights this way. Actually living vegan was super easy. Perhaps many years ago being vegan was inconvenient, but for me where I live the transition was effortless. You may make a couple of mistakes at first, just make sure you learn from them.
Once I had enough confidence in myself I became more outspoken about animal rights and everyone's moral obligation to live vegan. It's important to not just be vegan but to encourage others to go vegan as well, that's how we'll create a better world. So that's what I'd want new vegans to keep in mind - get comfortable first, then make yourself a bit uncomfortable by speaking to non-vegans about the issues surrounding animal ag and the harm they're causing. Not everyone will react kindly to you, but don't get discouraged. You've at least planted some seeds as they say, and that's often all you can do. Just keep an eye on those seeds and some might grow and surprise you. They did for me.
So yeah, boring story, but thank you David and everyone else who decides to live vegan in a predominantly non-vegan world. You're doing great.
💚🌱
Very good video.
Vegan since 2014
Is it ok to get my b12 from plant mills and nutritional yeast?
B12 and D3 supplements are so cheap that it’s probably worth taking them just to cover the bases on top of your daily food intake
@@davidramms oh ok I definitely will for d3 since I’m low in that and I’ll try b12
@Sohaibshumailah Be careful with D3 - most is made from lanolin in sheep's wool and contains an anti-coagulant used in rodenticides to bleed out rats called cholecalciferol. Just go out in the sun 3 times a week for 10 mins.
As for B12, it's made from genetically engineered bacteria, originally from raw cow's liver. Just eat plants from the B-complex group, that will generate beneficial bacteria in your gut. Stay away from antibiotics.
Meat & dairy don't have magical nutrients where you suddenly have to start taking pills without them
@@SSStofu008 Ignore everything that mikethats4thebirds is saying, it's completely unscientific & nonsense. Vegan D is made from lichen. Data from Tata Labs revealed that nearly 76% of the Indian population suffers from vitamin D deficiency, so the sun is not enough, even for people living in tropical regions.
Nutritional yeast does not produce nor have any B12 in it naturally, any B12 in it has had to have been supplemented from the same sources as that in actual supplements. Same too with plant milks.
It's simply not true that the bacteria used to make B12 come from cow's liver. Yes, it is true that back in the 1940s, it was discovered that raw liver cured B12 deficiencies but we are a LONG way down the line from there.
I'm guessing that Mike is a raw food/fruitarian type. These people are nuts. Dangerous cranks that have been a blight on the vegan movement since at least the 1970s. 99% of them aren't even vegans. They have no ethics. They're just health freaks, into themselves, their physical "purity", & a mythical concept of nature.
Go David!!!!
You are great brother
Remember. Vegans don't stop fighting for the animals. All animals deserve their right to life! Including the fish and all wild animals. All earthlings deserve freedom from suffering, and we should do our best as fellow earthlings to protect the vulnerable and suffering.

Thank you for this guide, David 🙏 I was just gonna wrap a banana in some vegan leather and have that since I've decided to go vegan for the first time in my life!
Bump
Hey, David, I disagree you need to learn new cooking skills, it's just simple substitution. Fruits and salads don't need cooking, there's plant-milk based for all dairy products, plant-based chicken, veg burgers etc. I substituted legumes for meat, and I did start making my own lentils and chickpeas (soaked first) because they taste 1000 times better than cans. It's also a myth you need eggs for baking, that's propaganda from the '50s. What did I need a recipe for except for maybe my own carrot cake or hummus????

Vegan for animals
This meat lookin hella tasty rn
2015 was the hard part. I haven't given up on the animals in 8 years. Some I know in person tried it for some months, argh, it's too hard.
So the first thing a new vegan has to do is start taking pills??? As if meat & dairy had some magical nutrients you suddenly can't live without SMH If I wasn't already vegan this would really put me off
As explained in the video, animals are supplemented, so non vegans are already taking supplements, just filtered through an animal
The advice is to be on the safe side, and it’s advice for both vegans and non vegans to cover the bases
@@davidramms How do you cover bases of health taking synthetic junk? I immediately felt better going vegan, never took any pills.
If someone is into the “all natural” way of living, no processed or fortified foods all that kind of stuff, that’s their choice
My advice in this video is general, to ensure whoever listens won’t end up deficient in anything
@@davidramms These supplements are pushed by animal ag & drug companies to demonize the plant-based diet as unnatural and lacking. Studies prove humans have beneficial bacteria in their own healthy guts naturally. B12 was created from bacteria in raw cow’s liver in a drug lab - that's nasty. Do we need animal liver bacteria??? Look up the history of B12.
3 Questions >Why was B12 labeled as a B vitamin when it doesn’t even belong in the B-complex group of vitamins found in dozens of plants?
>Why is B12 the only “nutrient” (bacteria/vitamin) that disappears AFTER THE DIRT HAS BEEN WASHED OFF, yet all other vitamins, minerals and essential nutrients are still readily available in vegetables and fruits that have been washed?
>If B12 only originates in bacteria found in soil/dirt, feces/manure, non-purified/unsanitized water, and unwashed food, then where are the drug companies who make these synthetic supplements getting the bacteria from?

@@ChairmanMeowNZThat’s what you are
If vegan cheese was just a little bit more competitively priced then I'd be vegan.
sotv2045, so are you saying that because you don't want to pay a little more for vegan cheese you have no problem with dairy cows being forcibly bred/raped every year so they will produce milk ?
You approve of new born male dairy calves being murdered shortly after birth because they don't produce milk ?
The babies are not allowed to have their mothers milk.
Dairy cows are very maternal, they cry and grieve for weeks after their babies have been stolen from them.
When the cows are about 6 years old they are exhausted after being bred and continously milked so they are sent to slaughter where they are violently murdered.
Cows naturally live into their twenties.
While you are eating your cheese please give some thought to the suffering and death you have caused by purchasing a piece of cheese.
The cow is not your mother the milk is not your milk.
Be kind,live a non violent life.
@@jjradV I didn't read all that. I suppose it says the cows are badly treated (to say the least) - which I am aware of.
Your browbeating does nothing for me, it just turns me off if anything.
I stopped eating eggs about 2 years ago (but I very rarely ate eggs anyway). The cheese I can't imagine I'll stop until I can find a viable alternative (doesn't even have to taste that good).
I was more hoping for some practical suggestions, but it's cool no rush.
Maybe the price of dairy will continue to rise and the vegan alternatives will become more competetive, or perhaps I'll still be eating cheese in 5 years time, who knows!
@@sotv2045 it takes compassion and courage to stop eating foods that cause suffering and death to kind innocent defenseless sentient beings.
Not everyone is capable.
@@sotv2045 have you given any thought to preparing vegan cheese a home from recipes?
