Dairy consumption increases breast cancer. Dairy is full of the hormone estradiol because the dairy cow is milked while it is pregnant and it has been measured in the milk. The 7th day Adventists are often studied because they are health conscious, don’t drink alcohol or smoke, and eagerly participate in studies. ADVENTIST HEALTH STUDY 2 showed the more milk the Adventists consumed the higher the breast cancer. This study was confirmed by a study in China, CHINA KADOORIE BIOBANK STUDY. The Conclusion: The more dairy you consume the higher your breast cancer risk. ¼ cup/day of milk increases breast cancer risk by 17%.

That saved me typing-out a new comment. THE PERFECT DEFINITION OF “VEGANISM”: In most instances within this book, I have used the term “vegan” according to its PERFECT definition, meaning, to understand what the person who coined the word had in mind when he coined the word, and devising a new definition that comports with authentic ethics, instead of any of the past or present definitions supplied by The Vegan Society of the United Kingdom of Great Britain, all of which are fundamentally flawed. The perfect (though not necessarily the most succinct) definition of “veganism”, is as follows: Veganism is the ideological or ETHICAL position that humans ought to desist from unjustifiably harming non-human animal life, either directly or indirectly (justified harm, being normally defined as that harm caused to a non-human animal as a result of self-defence, consuming animals due to true hunger as a consequence of a lack of edible vegetation, and/or eradicating vermin from one’s workplace or from one’s dwelling). The term is normally applied also to any product that was produced without causing undue harm (meaning, morally-unjustifiable harm) to any non-human animal. Obviously, this implies the avoidance of using any products of animal origin for food, clothing, etc., as far as practicable. Ideally, because there exists no descriptor for a person who does NOT commit the sin of theft (or any other crime, for that matter, except perhaps, the word “teetotaler”), there ought not be a term for a person who desists from harming animals unduly. Hopefully, one day soon, the vast majority of humans will become compassionate vegans, thus rendering the term “vegan” (as well as “vegetarian”) redundant. Of course, it is preferred that all humans become vegans according to the above definition, since the official definition is profoundly inconsistent: THE VEGAN SOCIETY’S IMPERFECT DEFINITION OF “VEGANISM”: The Vegan Society’s definition of veganism has been amended and refined over the years. The current definition is overly-verbose, and reads: “Veganism is a philosophy and way of living which seeks to exclude - as far as is possible and practicable - all forms of exploitation of, and cruelty to, animals for food, clothing or any other purpose; and by extension, promotes the development and use of animal-free alternatives for the benefit of animals, humans and the environment. In dietary terms it denotes the practice of dispensing with all products derived wholly or partly from animals.” The most problematic article in this definition of “veganism”, is the phrase encompassed by the two dashes. The initial clause, “as far as is possible”, is somewhat contradictory to the following clause, “as far as is practicable (i.e. able to be put into practice)”. The former clause (POSSIBLE) is simply superfluous, and is made redundant by the second clause (PRACTICABLE). Theoretically, it is POSSIBLE to go to extreme lengths in order to avoid animal exploitation, but that is hardly PRACTICABLE by any human who is living a worthwhile existence, so only the clause “practicable” is required. When the perfect definition of “veganism”, provided in the previous subsection, is studied, it ought to be clear that the best term to use instead of “possible and practicable”, by far, is “unjustified”. Is it POSSIBLE for me to attempt to catch the hundreds of mosquitoes that enter my dwelling each day, here in the tropics, and set them outside my house? Possibly, yes! However, is it PRACTICAL for me to do so, since it would require a considerable amount of valuable time? Absolutely not! The life of a totally unconscious insect is truly insignificant, compared to that of a human being, especially one who is a member of the Holy Priesthood (The World Teacher Himself, in my particular case). Of course, this ought not imply that one should intentionally kill insects that one happens across during one’s morning jog, or whilst strolling through a public botanical garden - that would constitute unjustified harm, unless, of course, the insect was attacking one. This position, though eminently logical and “dharmic”, will not be accepted by the most obsessively-fanatical vegans, because, just like the most fervent pseudo-religious fanatics, as well as the most rabid feminists and communists, they are afflicted with a very close-minded mentality. Furthermore, at the risk of seeming rather trivial, contrary to the above definition, veganism is neither a philosophy nor a way of life. Veganism is purely an ethical position, or to put it even more tersely, it is simply a moral disposition towards non-human animals, that they ought not be harmed unduly. Morality, as explained in another chapter, is nothing more than avoiding UNJUSTIFIED harm (and executing beneficial actions). Just as the terms “racism”, “sexism”, and “speciesism” have been discredited in the Glossary of this book, the term “veganism” too, is flawed. Of course, this is conditional upon the premise that the aforementioned four words are defined as they are by most dictionaries, as well as by most humans (in the case of the first two), or by the two Englishmen who defined the latter two terms. There is evidence that the term “vegan”, when first coined by the founder of The Vegan Society, Mr. Donald Watson, with auxiliary input from his then-future wife, Dorothy, in the year 1944 CE, initially referred to a dietary usage of the word, but soon afterwards morphed into a definition founded upon the ethical treatment of animals (though worded rather differently by The Vegan Society). Mr. & Mrs. George A. Henderson were influential in the development of the term early-on, and in the year 1949, Mr. Leslie J. Cross was responsible for codifying the term to mean: “To seek an end to the use of animals by man for food, commodities, work, hunting, vivisection, and by all other uses involving exploitation of animal life by man”. If the reader has carefully studied the all-important twelfth chapter of this treatise, he or she should be able to guess why this definition is problematic. Moral culpability is predicated on any intentional harm that cannot be properly justified by the perpetrator. Therefore, the above definition ought to have included the qualification “unjustified”, and thus, have read: “To seek an end to the UNJUSTIFIED use of animals…” The definition proffered by this author (above), FULLY encompasses the ideology of veganism far more succinctly. An even more concise definition could be: “Veganism is the ethical position that humans ought to desist from unjustifiably harming non-human animal life”. In other words, there is no need to use the term “veganism” if one is conversant with meta-ethics, since the definition of the word “morality”, includes all actions that result in unjustified harm, and not only those actions that harm non-human animals. Again, this topic was thoroughly explained in Chapter. 12. See also “carnist”, in the Glossary. Incidentally, The Vegan Society founder, Mr. Donald Watson, lived to the ripe old age of ninety-five years, despite his critics informing him that he will soon die, as a consequence of his newly-adopted diet! How amazing it is that a fully herbivorous species of animal (we humans) can be completely healthy on our natural diet, would you not agree? I am being sarcastic!
I agree with you 1000 %!! I am so sick of animals getting left behind, and now health gurus, fitness models and shallow commerce try to steal it from the animals and making it be about perfect skin and a slim waistline...
I am vegan. I get where you’re coming from but this is the kind of exclusivist attitude that ironically drives people away from veganism. You think you are helping with your labels and keeping your group “pure,” but this self righteousness has the opposite effect on people. It just reeks of the same ego condescending tone of Christians upon “others.” Zealots don’t attract people- they simply polarize into “us” vs “them.” Find a compassionate way to include people into your “vegan” or “plant based” circle.
Paul Saladino talks about using the animal's energy to be the best husband, best wife, so on. You have your human will power and heart for that. No need to steal the energy of an animal. Even if it's for self-perfection.
yeah and Paul decided he needed to be healthy by adding Fruit and Honey to his "Carnivore Diet".. slowly he'll be adding back in vegetables again .. secretly he probably already has
Yeah it’s a big problem now with people defining vegan as a selfish diet for nicer skin or personal happiness. That’s what a healthy diet can do for you and it can be a side effect of living vegan but I see a lot of celebrities and regular old people totally misunderstanding the whole point which is to live a lifestyle that minimizes cruelty and destruction. Nice skin does neither. The problem is that it’s easy for people to laugh and go anti vegan cause to them it’s a bunch of crazy people trying to push their diet on others which isn’t reality. Arguing against the vegan lifestyle is arguing for planet destruction and violence.
Great video, just wish Louis Hamilton talked about the ethics and I don't understand how he can say being vegan can be hard. What is hard is preparing raw meat to cook and the clean up after the meal.
Don't get me wrong, it must seem really nice from the outside for him to be making all that money and living the jet-set lifestyle but when you're travelling around the world 10 out of 12 months you probably aren't doing your own shopping and cooking your own meals. You would be mostly dependent on the food norms and cultures of the places you are staying at. Last time I went on holiday I was lucky to stay at a place with a kitchen so I could make my own food but I was only vegetarian at the time and that was difficult enough. Everywhere we went out to eat didn't have any consideration in the menu for vegetarians, let alone vegans. That might come off as "first world problems" but I don't expect different places to fit my choices (the joy of travelling is to take in other places and cultures) but also, to pretend it is not difficult to be vegan when constantly on the move is unrealistic.
Some of these celebs need to say they went plant based and not vegan, as they changed their diet for health reasons and not because of the animals. Good on the ones that actually changed for the sake of animal lives though.
these poeple miss the point that even if it wasn't healthy it's still super valid to do because of the lives being taken, and life is top priority. that's why so many of them stop being vegan and go back to doing horrendous things.
Yea never makes sense to me ,even if it wasn't that much healthy or they suffered from some health issues they would immediately go back to old diet as they have no real reason to stick to current one
I think everyone can do better. There's always space in our lives to eliminate cruelty. Our world is saturated in human cruelty towards each other, animals and the planet. Where we draw our boundaries is not an absolute right way. Whilst the plant based and vegan movement gathers momentum, let's be encouraging and not cliquey, scoffing and exclusive when people make efforts to eliminate cruelty from their lives.
@@janerainbow22 We have one movement for the animals. It's called veganism. It's important to preserve that definition and not water it down and let people think eating a plant based diet is enough. It's not. We must banish animal exploitation from all areas of our life.
Eating a plant based diet is a step in the right direction, but it's not good enough for the animals, and it's important to recognise the fact that it doesn't make someone vegan. Veganism is the moral baseline for respecting animals.
@@Jodie-mastersonworks for most given there are 300,000(few thousands are only cultivated but still a lot ) edible plants. Even if some allergy that is a lot of plants to choose from. Gas ,bloating issues due to intolerance and fiber can be over come by including variety of plants ,using the right cooking method and increasing the problematic plant food in your diet gradually. Otherwise time to seek a good plant based doctor or any other doctor that is specialised in whatever health issue you think would be preventing you from keeping away most of your diet wfpb . Also if you understand veganism then i believe one can be vegan even if they have to include some animal products as the definition clearly says you need to avoid animal products as far as is possible and practicable. There are some community on social platforms like reddit and others that someone can look at for answers and most probably any questions you have ,might have been answered already or you can ask community anytime !
Can we please, as a movement, recognise and agree that there is a difference between being vegan and going on a plant based diet? If you're eating a diet to shed a few pound or improve blood lipids you're not vegan...
@@SticksBontop Yeah, I'm not worried about Plant Based News not getting this. What worries me is that veganism as a philosophy gets watered down until it stops being about animals, and instead about vanity, health or some other egotistical motive.
Stop highlighting the people not talking about animal rights. So many of these people in it for health drop it a couple years ready. Vegan for the animals.
Thankyou, but please could you ensure that you give a trigger warning? I know the clip with the pig wasnt violent, but it spoke volumes in emotion, of fear and bewilderment. Im vegan for animals, and even though I force myself to watch things to learn, seeing such things, especially without warning, can affect me badly.
Doctors will lie to you or tell you misinformation. They haven't had proper training and they aren't up with the latest research. They are humans just like average people. Fallible and with their own brain washed beliefs, delusions, and addictions.
@SteversChed I am pretty sure that Billie trys to not use animal products the best she can. She is completly vegan since many many years, and almost just thrifts at second hand shops. Her mom is also a big environmentalist, just like her.
@@moonstar3445 Many things are made with animal products. Asphalt, some types of money, motor vehicles, electronics with processors, some housing materials, etc... I guarantee you she uses some of these needlessly for entertainment and convenience. She may be on the diet...but it doesn't make her one because... They use animal products. No need to be deceitful.
Well.. celebs flip all the time.. but true animals wpuld never.. so it doesn't matter which celeb is vegan and which isn't.. Paul wesley is a different story tho. ... He's not just a celeb.. he's a true animal lover!
Unless they do it for strong ethical reasons, they won't stay vegan for the long-term. Almost everyone can include some animal products in their diet and be healthy
The opening of this really already ticked me off with if you’re not ready to change, don’t watch this that then you’re never ready to change so that’s dumb to even say that like the point of watching it is to change because that chick saying I am a I want to be ignorant right now yes so you wanna just be complacent with animals that are babies losing their life because you like the way that the only life that was given to them the only flesh that was given to them tastes you need a grip lady you need to watch what the health, Cowspiracy, seaspiracy, pignorant, dominion, land of Hope, and glory. You need to watch all of those because you need perspective.
Speaking about it for attention. They all use animal products that are possible and practicable to avoid. They all quit once a new pr opportunity comes up.
I wondered whether you would feature Robert Downey Jr :) Then I wondered are these ones all still vegan and for how long exactly and then... you accept that they claim to be vegan now when they say it but woe unto them that may consume flesh in the future... they were never vegan 🤣
Vegans that are athletes and in on one man athletes don't win the big titles or big titles, in a team game, for sure. But by themselves they are bad athletes. Lewis is never winning the big title, the big trophies and gold, maybe minor titles, but not the big one. Especially those Olympic level athletes, they definitely aren't winning gold medals, maybe be 3rd or 2nd place, but you wanna be 1st place if your a competitor of the sport. Kyrie is never winning another nba title ever again and chris paul definitely isn't winning the a nba title, he lost that chance a long time ago. I look at these vegan body builders and strongmen and power lifters, they aren't breaking records or setting records and they to also aren't gonna win the big titles, the titles that actually matter. There not beating brian shaw or eddie hall or mark felix.
I stopped eating msmmals after watching their sad and desperate eyes on a truck on tbe way to slaughterhoyse, couldnt stand it, they are mammals like us, same feelings, same eyes, same brain and organs, gave up dairy products because its disgusting what they do to them, mammals are my soft spot, dogs, cows, pigs, goats, sheep, same thing to me.
No one has ever eaten a 'msmmals' in the history of human kind. Care to show a healthy plants only diet study? We both know you won't. Why do you use animal products needlessly (that means possible and practicable to avoid) while only pretending to be against it?
@@Magar6 Agreed, but with great hesitation. Taylor Swift, for example, seems to have become a polarising figure in American politics; would this cause people who do not share her political views to turn against veganism just to spite her? Did it really help that Gwyneth Paltrow espoused veganism before she went back to eating meat? We desperately need something more thoughtful than many celebrities provide. Best wishes to you in any case.
Blood type diets have been completely debunked. It was only ever just some guy who wrote a book in the 90s and never had any basis in scientific literature. Studies have found that all blood types benefit from eating the blood type A diet. That's the one that's the most plant based and it benefits everyone no matter what type you are.
Oh so it is real lol. Came across a comment from "ex" vegan saying how bad their health was because blood type and some holistic medicine practitioner put them on meat only diet and they are probably doing good or not who knows!
I am sorry but I found this video totally uninteresting! This trend the Celebs have something important to say , no matter about what.... I m tired of that.

Every cloud has its silver lining. True,we shouldn't base our decisions on some strangers hands but we do learn from each other things as we grow in life. So if we weigh things and let our critical thinking to kick in then arrive at our conclusion it's not that bad of a matter, ig you concur with that.
I also agree that celebrity worship is absurd. Yet, nonetheless, these are people that influence the youth and they are using their platform to spread a positive message. So I can get behind the positivity and look past the politics in this one.
@@StephenOfEarth Glad I bumped into you. Everywhere is celebrity fewer bs. I didn't even get why these people are categorised into "celebrity" or "influencers" as it makes no sense. They are just people just like us, what's so compelling about them to get swayed by them. As I said it has its positive side of influencing youth to make better wise choices, like you said let overlook the negative sides🧡
Basically there is no such thing as a "vegan". All of us grow up eating animal derived food. If you build your body out of normal (animal) food, you never can tell about yourself that you are vegan because you are not eating normal (animal) food for a couple of years (deprive yourself of nutrients and quit and come back to normal (animal) food)
not all of us. There are lots of people who have been vegan since birth. It has now been confirmed on multiple occasions by the leading body of Nutritionists and Dietitians that a well-planned whole foods plant based diet is suitable for all stages of life including infants and pregnancy 💚

THE VEGAN SOCIETY’S IMPERFECT DEFINITION OF “VEGANISM”:
The Vegan Society’s definition of veganism has been amended and refined over the years. The current definition is overly-verbose, and reads:
“Veganism is a philosophy and way of living which seeks to exclude - as far as is possible and practicable - all forms of exploitation of, and cruelty to, animals for food, clothing or any other purpose; and by extension, promotes the development and use of animal-free alternatives for the benefit of animals, humans and the environment.

When the perfect definition of “veganism”, provided in the previous subsection, is studied, it ought to be clear that the best term to use instead of “possible and practicable”, by far, is “unjustified”. Is it POSSIBLE for me to attempt to catch the hundreds of mosquitoes that enter my dwelling each day, here in the tropics, and set them outside my house? Possibly, yes! However, is it PRACTICAL for me to do so, since it would require a considerable amount of valuable time? Absolutely not! The life of a totally unconscious insect is truly insignificant, compared to that of a human being, especially one who is a member of the Holy Priesthood (The World Teacher Himself, in my particular case). Of course, this ought not imply that one should intentionally kill insects that one happens across during one’s morning jog, or whilst strolling through a public botanical garden - that would constitute unjustified harm, unless, of course, the insect was attacking one. This position, though eminently logical and “dharmic”, will not be accepted by the most obsessively-fanatical vegans, because, just like the most fervent pseudo-religious fanatics, as well as the most rabid feminists and communists, they are afflicted with a very close-minded mentality.
Furthermore, at the risk of seeming rather trivial, contrary to the above definition, veganism is neither a philosophy nor a way of life. Veganism is purely an ethical position, or to put it even more tersely, it is simply a moral disposition towards non-human animals, that they ought not be harmed unduly. Morality, as explained in another chapter, is nothing more than avoiding UNJUSTIFIED harm (and executing beneficial actions).
Just as the terms “racism”, “sexism”, and “speciesism” have been discredited in the Glossary of this book, the term “veganism” too, is flawed. Of course, this is conditional upon the premise that the aforementioned four words are defined as they are by most dictionaries, as well as by most humans (in the case of the first two), or by the two Englishmen who defined the latter two terms. There is evidence that the term “vegan”, when first coined by the founder of The Vegan Society, Mr. Donald Watson, with auxiliary input from his then-future wife, Dorothy, in the year 1944 CE, initially referred to a dietary usage of the word, but soon afterwards morphed into a definition founded upon the ethical treatment of animals (though worded rather differently by The Vegan Society). Mr. & Mrs. George A. Henderson were influential in the development of the term early-on, and in the year 1949, Mr. Leslie J. Cross was responsible for codifying the term to mean: “To seek an end to the use of animals by man for food, commodities, work, hunting, vivisection, and by all other uses involving exploitation of animal life by man”. If the reader has carefully studied the all-important twelfth chapter of this treatise, he or she should be able to guess why this definition is problematic. Moral culpability is predicated on any intentional harm that cannot be properly justified by the perpetrator. Therefore, the above definition ought to have included the qualification “unjustified”, and thus, have read: “To seek an end to the UNJUSTIFIED use of animals…”
The definition proffered by this author (above), FULLY encompasses the ideology of veganism far more succinctly. An even more concise definition could be: “Veganism is the ethical position that humans ought to desist from unjustifiably harming non-human animal life”. In other words, there is no need to use the term “veganism” if one is conversant with meta-ethics, since the definition of the word “morality”, includes all actions that result in unjustified harm, and not only those actions that harm non-human animals. Again, this topic was thoroughly explained in Chapter. 12. See also “carnist”, in the Glossary. Incidentally, The Vegan Society founder, Mr. Donald Watson, lived to the ripe old age of ninety-five years, despite his critics informing him that he will soon die, as a consequence of his newly-adopted diet! How amazing it is that a fully herbivorous species of animal (we humans) can be completely healthy on our natural diet, would you not agree? I am being sarcastic!
I agree with you 1000 %!! I am so sick of animals getting left behind, and now health gurus, fitness models and shallow commerce try to steal it from the animals and making it be about perfect skin and a slim waistline...
I am vegan. I get where you’re coming from but this is the kind of exclusivist attitude that ironically drives people away from veganism. You think you are helping with your labels and keeping your group “pure,” but this self righteousness has the opposite effect on people. It just reeks of the same ego condescending tone of Christians upon “others.” Zealots don’t attract people- they simply polarize into “us” vs “them.” Find a compassionate way to include people into your “vegan” or “plant based” circle.
I liked that this was such a diverse group. Not just white women, but black men and women too.
Yep & a diverse range of industries too ❤
Paul Saladino talks about using the animal's energy to be the best husband, best wife, so on. You have your human will power and heart for that. No need to steal the energy of an animal. Even if it's for self-perfection.
yeah and Paul decided he needed to be healthy by adding Fruit and Honey to his "Carnivore Diet".. slowly he'll be adding back in vegetables again .. secretly he probably already has
So very glad you did not include the detestable Smiley Virus in this list.
Yeah it’s a big problem now with people defining vegan as a selfish diet for nicer skin or personal happiness. That’s what a healthy diet can do for you and it can be a side effect of living vegan but I see a lot of celebrities and regular old people totally misunderstanding the whole point which is to live a lifestyle that minimizes cruelty and destruction. Nice skin does neither.
The problem is that it’s easy for people to laugh and go anti vegan cause to them it’s a bunch of crazy people trying to push their diet on others which isn’t reality. Arguing against the vegan lifestyle is arguing for planet destruction and violence.
Great video, just wish Louis Hamilton talked about the ethics and I don't understand how he can say being vegan can be hard. What is hard is preparing raw meat to cook and the clean up after the meal.
Don't get me wrong, it must seem really nice from the outside for him to be making all that money and living the jet-set lifestyle but when you're travelling around the world 10 out of 12 months you probably aren't doing your own shopping and cooking your own meals. You would be mostly dependent on the food norms and cultures of the places you are staying at. Last time I went on holiday I was lucky to stay at a place with a kitchen so I could make my own food but I was only vegetarian at the time and that was difficult enough. Everywhere we went out to eat didn't have any consideration in the menu for vegetarians, let alone vegans. That might come off as "first world problems" but I don't expect different places to fit my choices (the joy of travelling is to take in other places and cultures) but also, to pretend it is not difficult to be vegan when constantly on the move is unrealistic.
Spoons over knives. If something requires a knife that's not human food.
All have my deepest respect. And I'm sure the animals feel the same way 🌱✌🏽
I guess vegan celebrities deal with same identity & social issues as we normal vegans do...
No animal needs to die in order for me to live ❤❤
🥦 💪🏼 ❤
Awesomeness
The band Propagandhi were the ones that convinced me to adopt a vegan lifestyle. No looking back and that was 15 years ago
congrats on 15 years!
Vegan FTW!!!
You forgot Joaquin Phoenix speech at oscars or what it was :) or am i wrong
Some of these celebs need to say they went plant based and not vegan, as they changed their diet for health reasons and not because of the animals. Good on the ones that actually changed for the sake of animal lives though.
these poeple miss the point that even if it wasn't healthy it's still super valid to do because of the lives being taken, and life is top priority. that's why so many of them stop being vegan and go back to doing horrendous things.
Yea never makes sense to me ,even if it wasn't that much healthy or they suffered from some health issues they would immediately go back to old diet as they have no real reason to stick to current one
What about Doyle from the Misfits??
I love to see it
Not all of them are vegan - most of them are just plant based at best!
Better than not doing anything?
I think everyone can do better. There's always space in our lives to eliminate cruelty. Our world is saturated in human cruelty towards each other, animals and the planet. Where we draw our boundaries is not an absolute right way. Whilst the plant based and vegan movement gathers momentum, let's be encouraging and not cliquey, scoffing and exclusive when people make efforts to eliminate cruelty from their lives.
@@scooterboy3676 Abolition is different from tolerating. It's an important difference
@@janerainbow22 We have one movement for the animals. It's called veganism. It's important to preserve that definition and not water it down and let people think eating a plant based diet is enough. It's not. We must banish animal exploitation from all areas of our life.
Eating a plant based diet is a step in the right direction, but it's not good enough for the animals, and it's important to recognise the fact that it doesn't make someone vegan. Veganism is the moral baseline for respecting animals.
WFPB and Vegan.....works! Retired- Canada
Not for everyone
@@Jodie-mastersonworks for most given there are 300,000(few thousands are only cultivated but still a lot ) edible plants. Even if some allergy that is a lot of plants to choose from. Gas ,bloating issues due to intolerance and fiber can be over come by including variety of plants ,using the right cooking method and increasing the problematic plant food in your diet gradually.
Otherwise time to seek a good plant based doctor or any other doctor that is specialised in whatever health issue you think would be preventing you from keeping away most of your diet wfpb .
Also if you understand veganism then i believe one can be vegan even if they have to include some animal products as the definition clearly says you need to avoid animal products as far as is possible and practicable.
There are some community on social platforms like reddit and others that someone can look at for answers and most probably any questions you have ,might have been answered already or you can ask community anytime !
@@abhayagarwal5097 I have too many food allergies thay make a plant based diet unappealing and I’ve tried and failed many times
What about Lenny Kravitz,woody harrelson and joquim phoenix?

I turned to plantbase for my health and wellbeing
awesome - how are you finding it?
The human skeleton needs lots of calcium from calcium-rich plants, but from animal products those carnivores need to prove it they can over time
joaquin phoenix is missing!!
Horse enslaver
He exploits horses
Joaquin uses horses
Can we please, as a movement, recognise and agree that there is a difference between being vegan and going on a plant based diet? If you're eating a diet to shed a few pound or improve blood lipids you're not vegan...
Most actual vegans understand it. Plant based people erroneously use the word vegan. So of course Plant Based News does too.
@@SticksBontop Yeah, I'm not worried about Plant Based News not getting this. What worries me is that veganism as a philosophy gets watered down until it stops being about animals, and instead about vanity, health or some other egotistical motive.
We 🩷 Sarah
Just had a panic attack from the first 5 minutes. Vegan for life. This poor pigs backed in a corner
Stop highlighting the people not talking about animal rights. So many of these people in it for health drop it a couple years ready. Vegan for the animals.
Many indian celebs are also vegan you should also make some videos about them
❤
Is Neyo still vegan?
Thankyou, but please could you ensure that you give a trigger warning?
I know the clip with the pig wasnt violent, but it spoke volumes in emotion, of fear and bewilderment.
Im vegan for animals, and even though I force myself to watch things to learn, seeing such things, especially without warning, can affect me badly.
Thankfully I listened to celebrities as much as main stream news and trust the science doctors.
Trust the science, not doctors.
Doctors will lie to you or tell you misinformation. They haven't had proper training and they aren't up with the latest research. They are humans just like average people. Fallible and with their own brain washed beliefs, delusions, and addictions.
Doctors will lie to your or tell you misinformation.

Billie Eilish is also vegan since a long long time... I think Johnny Depp too
They use animal products. No need to be deceitful.
@SteversChed I am pretty sure that Billie trys to not use animal products the best she can. She is completly vegan since many many years, and almost just thrifts at second hand shops. Her mom is also a big environmentalist, just like her.
@@moonstar3445 Many things are made with animal products.
Asphalt, some types of money, motor vehicles, electronics with processors, some housing materials, etc...
I guarantee you she uses some of these needlessly for entertainment and convenience.
She may be on the diet...but it doesn't make her one because...
They use animal products. No need to be deceitful.
Well.. celebs flip all the time.. but true animals wpuld never.. so it doesn't matter which celeb is vegan and which isn't..
Paul wesley is a different story tho.
... He's not just a celeb.. he's a true animal lover!
Unless they do it for strong ethical reasons, they won't stay vegan for the long-term. Almost everyone can include some animal products in their diet and be healthy
I Miss the days of the tar and feather.
The opening of this really already ticked me off with if you’re not ready to change, don’t watch this that then you’re never ready to change so that’s dumb to even say that like the point of watching it is to change because that chick saying I am a I want to be ignorant right now yes so you wanna just be complacent with animals that are babies losing their life because you like the way that the only life that was given to them the only flesh that was given to them tastes you need a grip lady you need to watch what the health, Cowspiracy, seaspiracy, pignorant, dominion, land of Hope, and glory. You need to watch all of those because you need perspective.

Speaking about it for attention.
They all use animal products that are possible and practicable to avoid.
They all quit once a new pr opportunity comes up.

I wondered whether you would feature Robert Downey Jr :)
Then I wondered are these ones all still vegan and for how long exactly and then... you accept that they claim to be vegan now when they say it but woe unto them that may consume flesh in the future... they were never vegan 🤣
More vegan celebs means more vegans around the globe.
We need more vegans - less celebs.
you @@farfimandon't want more competent people in the entertainment industry to endorse and advert for the healthiest of living that is veganism?
The world isn't a globe/ball actually 😊 otherwise, yes.
@@unlimitedhangout5 Its a Colloquialism
@@arjunratnadev People that follow celebs to become vegan also quit veganism just as fast. Celebs are very fickle.
Vegans that are athletes and in on one man athletes don't win the big titles or big titles, in a team game, for sure. But by themselves they are bad athletes. Lewis is never winning the big title, the big trophies and gold, maybe minor titles, but not the big one. Especially those Olympic level athletes, they definitely aren't winning gold medals, maybe be 3rd or 2nd place, but you wanna be 1st place if your a competitor of the sport. Kyrie is never winning another nba title ever again and chris paul definitely isn't winning the a nba title, he lost that chance a long time ago. I look at these vegan body builders and strongmen and power lifters, they aren't breaking records or setting records and they to also aren't gonna win the big titles, the titles that actually matter. There not beating brian shaw or eddie hall or mark felix.
lol " very challenging" ....Net worth 300 million. Of course it is Lewis. smh
This woman spoke too much. So annoyed ! Why don’t you just shut up and let what you just watch
Who cares about these people? They can do wether they want. They have zero clue about health, zero, zero
Lot's of people care about celebrities 😊
@@PLANTBASEDNEWS thanks the problem is not just celebrities and those people that we call an expert and don't have the credibility
You act like “Celebs” are known for having an ounce of sense.
This just proves that nonsense breeds nonsense.
Not a good idea to just follow the herd because some silly celeb is doing it.
I stopped eating msmmals after watching their sad and desperate eyes on a truck on tbe way to slaughterhoyse, couldnt stand it, they are mammals like us, same feelings, same eyes, same brain and organs, gave up dairy products because its disgusting what they do to them, mammals are my soft spot, dogs, cows, pigs, goats, sheep, same thing to me.
No one has ever eaten a 'msmmals' in the history of human kind.
Care to show a healthy plants only diet study?
We both know you won't.
Why do you use animal products needlessly (that means possible and practicable to avoid) while only pretending to be against it?
You rely on the opinions of celebs? That's pathetic.

Honestly, I'd generally rather not see celebrities having a loud voice about anything, including veganism.
If Taylor Swift and Beyonce and j-lo all become vegan and stay vegan, it would do a tonne of good for the animals.
@@Magar6 Agreed, but with great hesitation. Taylor Swift, for example, seems to have become a polarising figure in American politics; would this cause people who do not share her political views to turn against veganism just to spite her? Did it really help that Gwyneth Paltrow espoused veganism before she went back to eating meat? We desperately need something more thoughtful than many celebrities provide. Best wishes to you in any case.
Is this the new pandemic on youtube, video cutters not checking audio levels anymore?
What are their blood types?
If bears eat carrots and lettuce, I'm pretty sure all humans can strive eating plants.
Irrelevant.
The idea of a blood type diet is pure nonsense. People really need to stop believing misinformation.
Blood type diets have been completely debunked. It was only ever just some guy who wrote a book in the 90s and never had any basis in scientific literature. Studies have found that all blood types benefit from eating the blood type A diet. That's the one that's the most plant based and it benefits everyone no matter what type you are.
Oh so it is real lol. Came across a comment from "ex" vegan saying how bad their health was because blood type and some holistic medicine practitioner put them on meat only diet and they are probably doing good or not who knows!
I am sorry but I found this video totally uninteresting! This trend the Celebs have something important to say , no matter about what.... I m tired of that. Politics , food , philosophy.... they have opinions about everything ( and that s ok!) and all the mass that just depends on that!c(-that s not good). 👎
Every cloud has its silver lining. True,we shouldn't base our decisions on some strangers hands but we do learn from each other things as we grow in life. So if we weigh things and let our critical thinking to kick in then arrive at our conclusion it's not that bad of a matter, ig you concur with that.
I also agree that celebrity worship is absurd. Yet, nonetheless, these are people that influence the youth and they are using their platform to spread a positive message. So I can get behind the positivity and look past the politics in this one.
@@StephenOfEarth Glad I bumped into you. Everywhere is celebrity fewer bs. I didn't even get why these people are categorised into "celebrity" or "influencers" as it makes no sense. They are just people just like us, what's so compelling about them to get swayed by them. As I said it has its positive side of influencing youth to make better wise choices, like you said let overlook the negative sides🧡
Basically there is no such thing as a "vegan". All of us grow up eating animal derived food. If you build your body out of normal (animal) food, you never can tell about yourself that you are vegan because you are not eating normal (animal) food for a couple of years (deprive yourself of nutrients and quit and come back to normal (animal) food)
not all of us. There are lots of people who have been vegan since birth. It has now been confirmed on multiple occasions by the leading body of Nutritionists and Dietitians that a well-planned whole foods plant based diet is suitable for all stages of life including infants and pregnancy 💚
