    Disclaimer: I attended the National Health Association Conference (which was AWESOME by the way) to interview some of the AMAZING vegans presenting there. Those videos are coming soon! Some of the people I interviewed there did not embrace the label vegan and were more into simply living this way without calling it vegan.

    I learn so much interviewing different people. No two vegans are really identical. And I have yet to me the absolute perfect vegan. It is important for us to learn and educate each other. And remember, people don’t remember what we say, they remember how we made them feel.

    I believe we are all, as some say, “prevegan” or “vegan forward”. We don’t want animals to suffer and work to avoid their needless suffering as much as possible. Of course, humans are animals too and need to be included in the equation of ethics and compassion.

    People eat animals because this has been normalized. And they may think they need to. People are finding more and more that the healthiest way of eating is whole plant foods. And this is their path towards actualizing their potential toward being the vegan they innately are. Those of us already embracing veganism, let’s welcome these people. Let’s shatter the negative stereotype veganism has wrongfully accumulated.

    To be honest, I didn’t anticipate interviewing edgy vegans. I’m calling them edgy because they’re on the edge of identifying it yet they’re already basically vegan in that they don’t eat animals.

    I know many of us may have the concern that these edgy vegans may still buy leather, etc. But, we don’t know this to be true. And if this is the worse thing they did, I still want to encourage and educate and make them feel good about doing better. In the event we discover that someone is not totally vegan we can praise them for how they actually are and educate them on how they may improve. Because, again, I have yet to find the perfect vegan.

    People are going to take care of their self first. And this is great. Because the healthier we are, the more we care for ourself, the more we can give to others, the stronger we can be to help others, the better we are at advocating both in our energy and appearance.

    The health wave of veganism is a tsunami of progress. Sure, some people fail and we can that’s because they were doing it for health reasons instead of ethics. But we don’t know this. Perhaps if they were doing it for health reasons, they would be so healthy they wouldn’t have failed. Perhaps they did it for ethics first and because they failed doing it for health reasons, they got sick and blamed it on going vegan.

    I became an advocate in late 2016 when I realized the health benefits of eating a variety of whole plant foods. I had been a closet vegan since 2011. Prior to learning about the health, I couldn’t begin to imagine suggesting people join me in veganism if it could be detrimental to their health. I literally had moments before 2016 where I was like “even if this kills me, I’ll die peacefully knowing I didn’t depend on abusing, slaughtering and ingesting animals”. But this isn’t something I would have promoted to others, “hey go vegan even though it will kill you”.

    It makes perfect sense that people would go into veganism for health first. If we had to eat animals the abolitionist vegan would be considered suicidally insane. We would have to be welfarist vegans. But it makes perfect sense that what is healthiest for us is also best for all life.

    The biggest impact we can make right now is via health. When people realize that the healthiest way is vegan (because that is synonymous with eating a proper variety of whole plant foods) they will want to raise their children this way. And the next and final wave of the movement will be an unprecedented flood of vegan children growing up to shine unlike all others.

    The biggest impact is going to be health, because eating animals is the most destructive to health and animals. Let’s praise those that are making healthier choices and inspire them to be more aware of the ethics and take this beyond just not eating animals. Beyond like, not wearing them, not eating processed and packaged foods that are more resource intensive and invasive to wildlife, growing gardens, supporting farmers markets over the chains, building our communities up so we can share resources and educate more people.

    I think about comfort food a lot when I think about people eating animals. Why are they comfortable eating them and how can we make them more comfortable being vegan? The only way to do this is to kindly ask questions that help people think through their actions, learn as much as possible to effectively educate, feed people, get involved in the community, go outside of our comfort zone to expose more people to our way, make people feel great about their progress and they will want to continue progressing.

    Jerry Deutsch said in my interview with him (coming soon), “people fail at being vegan not it’s not fun”. Let’s make vegan fun for everyone and beautiful like it really is. We can still be straight up in the process.

    There are a couple more interviews that I had with edgy vegans. I didn’t anticipate interviewing these people but I’m so glad I did. Because they helped me think things through and I helped them as well. One person requested I remove part of their interview because the conversation got a little too deep, but it was sooo good! Because dialog like this would help others think things through. There was also one couple that I didn’t interview because they eat fish. They were such a nice couple though and we really wanted to do the interview. They reached out to me later and said they’re going to stop eating fish now! So, I hope to run into them again next year to see how it goes. One man I was about to interview blatantly said he’s not vegan, he also may eat the occasional fish. When I asked why he said “because I wouldn’t exchange bodies with any of the vegans I know”. Well, I really wished I would have interviewed him because we ended up having a really deep conversation. I just didn’t anticipate the importance of having this conversation on camera. I was trying to save energy and space for interviewing vegans. I must say, I won that argument. And had I captured it on camera, that would have been golden.

    Doing these interviews can be very difficult. I do it all by myself; traveling, shooting, interviewing, editing, etc… Sometimes it’s under very challenging conditions whether it be a not so ideal environment or due to time constraints, or some unforeseen issue like a crazy eyelash, chin hair, pollen strand, something crazy said, or a ginormous patch of skin peeling over on their forehead lol. So, if you find a video isn’t as ideal as you would like please know that there was a lot of work to make it happen nonetheless and that I’m learning and constantly trying to take things to another level. And, it may also help to know that I already have about 50 videos in the can ready to release, many of which I’m sure you will find to be AWESOME!

    Thank you for taking this journey with me by watching, commenting, liking and sharing. Together we will make this world as utopian as possible for all!

  2. So I'm not sure I understand the objection to nuts and avocados, especially for those who do not have heart disease. Dr. Greger would not object to those foods. I also believe that minimal oils is not objectional.

  3. I eat low fodmap low calorie plant based, zero animal products. I always think "if I run out of really good vegan food, I'll eat the meat". Never ran out of really good vegan food yet so never needed to. I do have to draw the line at zero oil though. Deep fried potatoes are food of the gods and should be worshipped appropriately 😂😂😂💖

  4. "Veganism does not require us to love our victims, or to be kind to our victims, or to be compassionate to our victims. Veganism requires us to stop having victims. That's all."

  5. I eat whole foods plant based ( oil free ) and I don't like saying "vegan food". I've heard vegans say they can eat lab grown meat .. which is ethical but yeah I don't think those 2 worlds will ever be the same and I think that's okay. Tbh .

  6. Plant Based Changed my health and life. Veganism changed how happy ill die and their life.
    haha veyr good quick recipie well done

  7. I am male 54 years old, 17 months ago I could not run more than 100 meters, and I decided to check my heart. They found me with an artery coronary left 100 percent clogged.
    So.. they put a stent on my heart.
    With medication I wasn’t happy at all and I stopped all medication after first week. Then I discovered keto diet which increased my cholesterol ldl cholesterol 274, then I discovered plants based diet and doctor Caldwell Esselstyn . Today I have 1 year of strictly plants based diet no oil and no nut and no kind of medication, just b12 and so far I am fine .

  8. All vegans say i take b12
    But read this

    Many people believe that we are as a society, modern society; we are suffering from severe vitamin B12 deficiencies. And there is some truth to that but not because we are not eating enough vitamin B12 in our food, but because we are not absorbing enough of that vitamin B12. And this can have a number of reasons and these reasons are responsible for the vitamin B12 deficiency that often ends up causing a form of anemia where the red blood cell count diminishes.

    Now, we need B12 for basically every function in the body, every single cell requires B12 and if there is a B12 deficiency, we can experience as I said, anemia, we can have pins and needles in our hands, we can have brain and nervous system disorders, the bone marrow doesn’t function properly, we don’t produce enough red blood cells as mentioned, and we can have severe gastrointestinal problems.

    Now one of the main reasons why there is such a strong vitamin B deficiency in our society today is because many people have stomach problems, and the reason for that is because we are eating a diet that is no longer in harmony with our body’s requirement for nutrients and for proper digestion. In fact many of the processed refined factory-produced foods are virtually indigestible. They cannot be properly broken down and they interfere with the secretions of digestive juices such as hydrochloric acid in the stomach.

    There is a particular organic substance in the stomach, it’s called intrinsic factor, and in order to absorb, to digest and assimilate B12, the vitamin B12, then we need to have that intrinsic factor in larger quantities. If we have a diminished amount of that intrinsic factor, the B12 that we may eat, doesn’t matter through whatever source, including ingested supplements, then we are not going to absorb it, and its going to be useless.

    So, the most important thing is to make sure our intrinsic factor in our stomach is produced in the right amounts and that is regulated by what we eat, how well we chew or masticate our food and also a second factor, whether we digest the food in our small intestine.

    And that is a very, very important point because when we eat, for example, a very high concentrated protein meal such as lot of eggs or meat or fish and chicken, because we have only the capacity to digest up to 20 % of these foods, the majority of them will become putrefied in our intestines. So when we have undigested protein lingering in our intestinal tract for longer than even a couple of hours, then that disturbs the probiotic bacteria population in our gut, and probiotic bacteria are the principle source of B12 that is typically absorbed at the end of the small intestine in the terminal ileum, and in that part that’s where the B12 gets absorbed into the blood stream and carried to the liver, and the liver is in charge of keeping B12 there, and when required by the cells in the body it will put that into the circulation, into the blood stream, the cells will take it up and it’s going to be recycled in most cases. So most of the B12 is recycled and used for up to 6 or 7 years.

    The amount of B12 that we need in our entire lifetime is just as much as a tip of the pinkie, this nail, it’s a very, very small amount, and its quite difficult to get B12 deficiency unless of course we have trouble in utilizing it, and once again that has a lot to do with what’s happening in our digestive system and not necessarily to do with the food that we eat, whether it contains enough B12 or not.

    Since the principal source of B12 bacteria, and these are probiotic bacteria, when they die, they release the B12 and it’s been absorbed and utilized, which again is used by the brain and nervous system, the digestive system and the bone marrow, for most of all in order to keep our body healthy, vital and strong.

    Now when a person eats a lot of junk food, uses medication, most medication particularly antibiotics destroy the probiotic bacteria population, and eating foods like meat, lot of meat which contains B12 but it cannot really be absorbed properly when the digestion is not working very well, particularly the intrinsic factor in the stomach has been diminished, which does happen when you eat too much protein foods. So there is a lot of to be said about meat being a source of B12, or eggs being a source of B12, or dairy products being a source of B12, that it doesn’t mean that you are going to absorb that.

    Many, many vegetables are actually capable of releasing B12 as well and so there are smaller amounts of B12 in these foods such as bananas, green, leafy vegetables, sunflower seeds or leeks, dates, dates are rich in B12, they grown on palm trees, there are beans, there are green beans, oats, carrots, peas and so on.

    These are small amounts, but that’s all we need, we don’t need large amounts of B12 that is prevalent in more meat products, but if we don’t digest these meat products up to more than 10 – 15 % then there is just no advantage eating meat products over eating vegetarian foods.

    If you are, if you do want to have a higher source of B12, then butter is a good source of that, and I do recommend butter for most people, so that would be an alternative if you are non-vegetarian.

    However, once again, the misunderstanding about B12 deficiency comes because we don’t understand how the body produces its own B12, just like cows for example, they don’t have to eat meat or drink other species’ milk in order to produce B12, they derive it from the plant foods, and they are, they don’t have a deficiency. Humans, as long as they eat natural foods, we will also not develop a B12 deficiency.

    I personally had severe anemia when I grew up, when I was a child, and my B12 deficiencies stemmed from eating too many dairy products and animal proteins that eventually lead to severe gastrointestinal distress, and rheumatoid arthritis, and arrhythmia, and when I stopped eating these foods, my anemia disappeared, so my face started becoming colorful again, whereas before I was as white as snow in my face and I never had any color in my face. So that shows that the anemia is not necessarily removed by eating animal products. On the contrary, animal products can contribute greatly to a B12 deficiency.

    Another misunderstanding surrounding B12 is that when you take a supplement, you think that you are going to absorb it and utilize it, but that is not necessarily so. B12 never comes alone, it always in nature combined with other B vitamins. So when a person just takes a B12 vitamin supplement, it is very, very, very difficult to absorb and utilize because nature didn’t built B12 on its own, or by itself, it always combines it with other B vitamins and other vitamins and minerals and other substances that allow the B12 to be utilized.

    So once again, B12 deficiency has nothing really too with vegetarianism. Many, most people who are B12 deficient actually are meat eaters, and not vegetarians. However vegetarians can also suffer from B12 deficiency, it depends on what else they do, if they take medication or if they have used antibiotics in the past, the probiotic bacteria population can be disturbed for many years, and according to new study, actually can cause disruption for an entire lifetime.

    One of the best things to do to improve the digestive process is to clean out the liver bile ducts so any accumulation of stones, intra-hepatic gallstones in the bile ducts of the liver inhibit the ability to digest food properly, it interferes with the probiotic bacterial population. Undigested food, putrefying, fermenting food doesn’t matter whether its vegetables or meat products, will lead to diminished absorption of B12 because of the lack of probiotic bacteria which is the major source of B12 in the body.

    So I hope that this clarifies the issue, and I can only suggest eat naturally, live in a natural way, expose your body to the sun, B12 absorption also depends on how much vitamin D you have available to keep the digestive system strong and vital, and so when you expose your whole body to the sun on a regular basis, you will also have a higher level of healthy bacteria populations in the gut and have a stronger digestive absorption of nutrients available to you and therefore it is very difficult to actually develop B12 deficiency.

  9. Whole food Plant-based is not the same thing as Veganism. Veganism is about the ethics of not eating or using animals. She didn't call herself vegan but you kept calling her that. If she herself doesn't call herself vegan nor think of herself as vegan, don't try to force that word on her. Please stop trying to force these people who aren't vegan into calling themselves Vegan. Words have meaning, and veganism is an ethical stance. Veganism isn't a "personal health" movement. There's a word for that already and it's called "Whole Food Plant-based". Please stop trying to hijack a movement that is about the animals and force it into a "health journey" movement.

    If people go whole food plant-based for their personal health, that's awesome! But that's not veganism. Whole food plant-based is a big step in the right direction. Hopefully those people will eventually make the ethical choice to go vegan. We need to stop muddying the waters though and implying that veganism is or even should be about people's personal "health journeys".

  10. "I'm hoping to make Vegan incorporate whole food plant-based…" "I think vegan absolutely is whole food plant-based. I don't think it is Oreos because Oreos come in a package. Oreos are bad for the human and a human is an animal…" Veganism isn't about policing people's personal health choices. Where do you draw the line? Drinking isn't good for you either, it damages the liver, causes cognitive impairment, etc, maybe we should make "no drinking" a part of veganism too. What about cake, cookies, candy, soda, chips/crisps, french fries, etc? Should we ban that from veganism too? Do we ban all food and drinks that aren't deemed as health food? Veganism isn't about people's personal health choices, it's not about policing how healthy someone's food choices are, nor should it be.

    Veganism is about making the ethical choice to stop using and exploiting animals as much is as practicable and possible. It's not about, nor should it ever be, about how healthy a person's choices are in what they choose to eat or drink. However much each person chooses to prioritizes how healthy their food choices are is a different matter and isn't what veganism is about. Nor should it be.

  11. Since I've been eating Brazil nuts, Walnuts and avocados it's the first time my doctor said that my cholesterol: HDL, LDL, and Triglycerides are good; he said, "keep doing exactly what you're doing".

  12. I've been vegan for almost five years and wfpb no oil for about three but lately i've been making exceptions for vegan food from restaurants in my area and certain store items like chips w/ avocado oil or coconut milk ice cream i feel like ive probably cleared the animal fats from my body and from my research some plant oil isn't gonna kill me over time like animal fats will…it's so hard to be perfect with this. That being said there is still no cooking oil in my house😅

  13. WFPB for personal health has two automatic, immediate by-products without trying:– ethical animal welfare and environmental protection.
