Thank you so much for putting this together! Was quite lovely not having to edit it myself for once :) And being able to "just talk"! Really appreciate your hard work and dedication as a whole. Hope I didn't say anything I can add to the "regrets" section later in life 🙃 Was an honor to be included in your interview series. 💜
Emily ✨️💖✨️ I wrote a song about you nearly 10 years ago. Wow time flies. Your videos got me to go from vegetarian to vegan. Specifically, the last embrace video 😢 Hugs, love and best wishes to you Emily ❤
I think I just watched a 1 hour and 12-minute interview with a modern-day Thoreau. Thank you for posting this. I am most impressed with this young woman and her authenticity and integrity, as well as her wisdom.
I was so excited to see you have interviewed Emily! I just love her! Much gratitude to both you & Emily. You both have been an important part of my learning & living well as a vegan for 13 years now. I am 70 & healthy & happy. Whole food, all plants all the time. :)
She still talks to Erica, Gary wife. It baffles me Gary has so much knowledge and experience yet he doesn’t share more. I wish he just did a video once a month sharing his stories and feelings etc. he could even turn comments off
Ah great video Emily is an amazing activist & person, I'm still watching her passionate informative videos to this day. Eventually I'd like to get through every single one. Vegan legend of a lass.🌱🌅🍀
II loved this video and will have to watch it again. Emily you are so wonderful to watch and hear you talk. I love the bus and the bus tour too. There was so much good information too in this interview.
57:18 - My biggest regret is not raising my son Plant Based. I didn’t KNOW all of this 19 years ago, there was no TH-cam, and news isn’t going to promote health and wellbeing when there’s money to be made. I REALLY wish I would have had the information. I THOUGHT I was feeding my child well by cooking and not using heavily processed foods, thankfully I DID add lots of produce but the plate always had “lean” animal protein!!! Ugh… I hope he will see me and care down the road…
Great interview. She is definitely a legend in the vegan community, her videos were always with so much research. I remember her old videos about horse riding, it gave me so much knowledge for debates. Also, one of the few persons that interviewed Gary Yourofsky. Best part of this interview, for me, was: "for me is about ethics, if being vegan will take 20 years of my life, so be it, I don't give a sh*t". Awesome ethics. Actually, in the beggining, Alex O'Connor did also a video saying that "yes, if being vegan will take, let's say, 10 years of your life, comparing to the misery and suffering of what animals go through, it is still a moral imperative to be vegan" in a conversation with "Rationality Rules". Of course this didn't hold up for him, he apparently changed his ethics first in a post and then blame IBS after in a video...
Thanks it wasn't easy without proper stabilization and my 16 mm was sketchy on the focus. The lighting was difficult because of course outside things change. And it was all running then of course as usual. This was shot back in 2022. I've since got a new stabilizer that I was actually just working on rigging on a little more today. I also have a new camera that will be a good match for the full frame I get hopefully sometime this year. Something forward I'll be trying to get way more stable images, start practicing using S-Log so I can grade better, hopefully get any drone with a much better sensor and three lenses. But I'm loving this new camera and stabilizer. I'm also doing a handheld rig that would probably be really great and a tight spot like inside her bus. And the full frame if I can get it would be even better in a tight spot like that.
King Solomon said,'There is nothing new under the sun.' It's a choice and many people make it for many reasons. People need to choose education before they feed others so they don't harm them. Can you do a program on how many animals we would be dealing with if they weren't part of a food supply, honest question, I don't mean anything sparky about it. Thank you
That's pretty easy. No need to do a video on that. As demand goes down forcing them into existence goes down. It's simply supply meets demand. As people consume less we force less animals into existence. Pretty cut and dry. Hope that helps
Plants like the behavioral and physiological characteristics of sentience. This has to matter because you have to know what sentience means and where it comes from in order for sentience to even matter.
I do believe just about everything is sentient if the universe itself is conscious. If you watch joe scott about the universe being conscious - to me, photons are consciousness. Sentience is phonons (yes - phonons, not photons). Anything that is hit by a photon becomes sentient at that moment. Why? Because there's an exchange of information (which is magnons), and that makes both the photon sentient and what it hit sentient - because it's an exchange of knowledge. Because photons go into and are used by, and hit plants - they are some of the most sentient beings on this planet. The phononic activity is expressed by the electron transport chain in chloroplasts for photosynthesis. Phonons are the 'feeling' part of consciousness - phonons are mechanical ripples that come from the frequency waves of photons. It's 'perceived' (according to the deifnition of sentience) in their own way - the impact of a photon on an individual's materials that make up its body is unique to them - the imprint of consciousness left on them. There are other definitions about sentience, but I feel those relate more to awareness of expressiveness. To me, sentience is awareness and expressiveness and just because someone doesn't notice that, doesn't automatically mean a being isn't sentient. To me, even rocks can be sentient and are conscious at the photonic level. Some people believe that plants, being sessile, aren't conscious nor sentient - that to me isn't true. Just because we don't move doesn't meant we're not aware and interacting with the world around us - we still do - moving or not. You can read about it under the consciousness page of my personal website. I have yet to separate out a page for sentience, but wrote about it there somewhat.@@VeganLinked
43:27 the definition is what's practicable so being in a room like that is possible too - and is the fullest extent possible. It's because it doesn't talk about practicality that is why I have realized I fundamentally disagree with the definition by the vegan society.
and that's why I decided upon not being a vegan - because I seriously don't pander to the Vegan Society's definition - that to me doesn't make sense. It should be about what's practical, but it says nothing about it. Why does it not mention practical? Because the definition is focused more on fantasy than reality and I prefer to focus on reality. I don't believe that going as far as possible is always the best way to handle helping animals. It's not even realistic all the time. Just because it's as far as possible and is practicable - doesn't automatically mean that it's appropriate for one's life and situation and for helping out animals. That's why I feel the VS's definition works against itself in promoting what it's against. It's an attempt at most, but I want to see better. That's why I made my own definition - but even that can use work. I can't wait for a discussion somewhere about improving the definition.@@VeganLinked

Excellent choice to start off the new year with Emily ! Emily is such an asset for the vegan community, she will never know how many people have become ethical vegans because of her efforts to raise awareness of the Animal Holocaust and educate people about the impact of their food choices. There is no justification for not being Vegan ! Thank you for this wonderful interview !
Eremahgerd!! Emily!! I don't get celebrity crazy in this movement but I have SUCH mad respect for Emily. I went vegan nearly eight years ago before I even knew there was vegan content on TH-cam and then not long after I ran across her content and then that's how I leaned who Gary Yourofsky even was to begin with. So stoked you were able to interview her 💚💚💚🥗🥗🥗
@@SnakeySerpentine well if you're being consistent it does have something to do with health. Like in so many ways it has to do with health. If it wasn't healthy then it would be insane to encourage people to do this. Because humans are animals and we want what's best for animals we should include humans in the equation of compassion. And it just happens to be what's best for non-human animals is best for human animals. And this applies to mental health as well as physical health. And this is everything from chronic disease to non-infectious disease to mental illness. Yeah veganism has a lot to do with health. And trying to separate it to me is annoying because it's completely illogical. At least when I'm thinking about it...
@@SnakeySerpentine But don't get me wrong I do you like making it clear that it is a philosophy and not a diet. And I think it's important to make that clear because after all it is and when somebody understands this and they truly become vegan they will find a way to make it work whereas if they treat it like some diet then there's no reason to stick with it in the face of social pressures and whatnot. But I think it's very important to make the message about being as healthy as possible while also making it clear that it's a philosophy first.
Emily is an amazing voice for the animals. It's been wonderful listening to her and seeing her unique lifestyle. Love the knowledge and wisdom she shares as well. Great interview!
One of my favourite all time people. Also.i think we ought to stop spreading fear about raising kids vegan. I have 2 vegan kids from pre conception and they are healthy as can be. I mean they eliminate unhealthy foods from their diet and include healthy foods such as beans greens fruit nuts seeds legumes. Supplement B12 D3 very occasionally DHA iodine. It's pretty easy. Hardest thing is keeping them away from non vegan foods with school friends parties etc.
Thanks so much for watching and commenting. What do you mean "stop spreading dear"? Also, I'd LOVE to interview you. I'm going to be doing a lot of content around raising children vegan this year!
@@neofilm sorry I meant fear corrected comment. Too many times I see people scared of raising kids vegan but if you think about it logically you are eliminating dairy which kids don't need because they aren't cows and meat which we also don't need. As long as they eat healthy wholesome plant foods and keep junk to a minimum and supplement as necessary they'll do great.
Love the bus! Emily is a very intelligent person, Awesome attitude! She is a real inspiration to the rest of us vegans! Just shows what can be done when you stay true to your principles. Thanks for uploading this video. 😀
Excellent interview. Love Emily's story and admire the work that she does! What a wealth of knowledge. I was not aware of her website. I'll definitely be checking it out a lot moving forward. Also, my jaw about dropped when she mentioned They Might Be Giants, one of my all-time favorite bands too!
1:02:36 This is still my sentiment a lot of times where I'm amazed at the things that people research, but they couldn't care less about the food they eat, their livelihood, etc 😮
I love Emily! She's such a badass ! I mean come on , speaks German, lives in a rad bus home, is a teetotaler like me, and she got BARNDED?!!! I had no idea! Her bite sized vids was what helped me switched from vegetarian to vegan finally! Best decision ever and I love Emily! She's so thoughtful, smart, and so cool!! Thanks for letting us into her world a bit!!!
I think Emily is great too. She helped me become vegan 8 years ago. I live in Yorkshire Uk. I love her compassion for animals and her dog was adorable. Thank you Emily..
Thank you Emily! You helped me go vegan. Your videos were so helpful after I decided to go mostly plant based, and contributed to my decision to go fully vegan.
What Emily said about a visit to a "nice slaughterhouse" actually shocked me. I did not realize that those exist and that people can have such a deep disconnection. I admire every vegan that has the courage to go to these places, but this sounded - like Emily said - worse, and on so many levels.
I wonder why there is no tax on meat for the damage animal farming does to animals, public and slaughterhouse workers' mental health and the environment.
I'm with her on being vegan even if it were unhealthy or cut years off my life. We're not some gods for the life of a human to outweigh the lives of the animals we'd murder for a non-vegan lifestyle. Thankfully, I've been vegan for 16 years and my health is only better than before.
I'm in the middle of editing a video right now where we're literally talking about this same thing. Thanks for watching! I've got some more awesome content coming too so be sure to subscribe and hit that notification bell :) I rarely if ever say that I probably should say it more often lol.
Hi jeff Thank-you for creating this channel im a succriber i really enjoy every content you put im vegetarian currently working my way to vegan i think it's best diet 😊!!$$
I have workable solutions for all the food issues, including the transport, the growing, the supply and how to not have crop deaths. I’d really like to talk to you Jeff.
1:03:47 it was a sad time in then 90s not being respected as a kid. We should have much more respect for kids - but where do we do this? I feel if we can go in a vegan direction - maybe we'll respect kids more. Kids are the future - they deserve the utmost respect. However, older people built the world - and we shouldn't lose them either.
19:03 the thing about bitesizevegan is that while the videos are great intros, it's going to be confusing the more you look at it deeper. She went deeper already, but there's a limit as to how far she goes - because there comes a point where the ideas break down and she doesn't want to tackle them. I actually thought about creating a youtube channel based off that, but didn't and won't - but I want to. There's so many deeper dives not explored. For instance - the 'burger' can't be vegan to me, as its origins are animal based.
Finding nemo is a cartoon, a fictional character. The fish in the sea are meant to be eaten, they don't actually talk. Hope you can heal from condition 🙏❤️
You're meant to be eaten by bacteria. Everything is meant to be eaten at some point. Does that make it right for you to be violent as f***? Does that mean support the most violent and atrocious industry on the planet most invasive as it is the leading cause of deforestation, desertification, aquatic dead zones, zoonotic diseases that kill millions of people so people can increase the risk for chronic disease and all cause mortality based on an infantile habituated behavior that's nostalgic of barbaric times long ago? Or do you want to evolve like the rest of us into being more humane humans?
there is an issue with the animals dying less by veganism - because insects die by quadrillions for plants via pesticides. The fish and bycatch live off algae - which isn't a raised plant - and that's in the trillions (per year) - if we compare the biggest numbers. Then we have to think about all the fish and other animals used for manure and fishmeal and other fertilizers and you can see how plants start to lose. So if animals stopped eating crops, people would take that place - which won't change much of anything. Still - it's not excuse not to be vegan - you just go with veganic methods. You can culture plant tissue to avoid harming the plant and use bioreactors to avoid pesticides. What's the issue? The issue is that this is a carnist vs carnist argument. If you're killing animals to eat plants - that's not vegan. But if we count it as so, I see why the argument is made that way - because it makes sense about more animals being killed for crops than for meat - because I see how it's true. 43:15.
There's only 8 billion people. Yet over 70 billion animals are forced into existence to be slaughtered every year. Plus the bykill from what those animals eat. So all of this death and it only results in like 20 maybe 30% global food intake using more than 10 times the amount of land than plant agriculture that results in close to 80% global food intake. If you include aquatic life eating animals results in trillions more animals killed than plant agriculture. Plant agriculture might result in 7 billion animals killed while resulting in four times the amount of global food intake. If we switched to just eating animals that might be 10 billion animals accidentally killed for plant agriculture to feed the whole world instead of 70 billion animals intentionally killed PLUS all of their accidental deaths from feed to just feed 20% of the world. Surely can see how astronomically unsustainable and deadly eating animals is.
not sure why you ignore the quadrillions of insects killed for plant agriculture in your calculations. While we can grow plants in water to avoid killing insects - the best we got is kelp. When you grow plants on land - you end up with competitions for land space unseen in the ocean (namely because we've killed so much in the water to begin with to have much open space). Still - even if you grow crops in the ocean - you are taking the sunlight away from all the ocean creatures underneath it. That too is very detrimental - because we mainly grow crops on the surface of water - like kelp, rice, etc. Again - it's compared to trillions at most underwater. Sometimes raising animals underwater leads to invasive parasites and animals growing on fish - like sea lice and salmon, or worms in fish. Still - there are nematodes that I heard grow inside plants. If you want to go into the whole soil erosion killing of the soil microbiome to grow root crops and the parasites that're boiled when you eat fish and the sea lice, etc. - there's so much life that is killed in both industries! I don't consider either to be vegan. To me, what's most vegan is cell culturing plants - that way you don't have to grow livestock for cells. Also if you forage plants that are pest-resistant and it's close by to avoid hurting life as you walk, etc. - then possibly veganism is better for the animals at that extreme than eating dead carcasses found in nature. I feel with foraging - you will likely experience microorganisms, like worms, etc. regardless of plant or animal eaten. So indoor bioreactors - veganism wins, but growing crops outdoors - I would say it does lose in comparison to eating animals. What it does win in is preserving biodiversity - it saves species of animals and plants when vegan compared to eating animals. However, this is not true in biodiverse habitats where clear-cutting land for growing plants like chocolate, palm oil, etc. hurts more animals than catching a fish out of the ocean or eating insects off a plant (or even eating their remnants that they leave behind). To me, not every animal product is going to hurt animals - if you consume what an animal leaves behind - such as footprints for a scientific observation. Not every plant will involve less animal suffering - carnivorous plants exist. If you eat a plant, you might accidentally hurt animals while picking that plant. It all depends.@@VeganLinked

Yeah, she takes awesome deep dives. I'd love to get through them too one day!
56:42 - I am one of them! It's gonna be 8 years in April :)
Cheers from Slovakia!
II loved this video and will have to watch it again. Emily you are so wonderful to watch and hear you talk. I love the bus and the bus tour too. There was so much good information too in this interview.
Her history of veganism series is brilliant and informative and hilarious!!
I am *so* with her on not being in a relationship. I am so over it. It is Jan 2024 and my last long-term relationship ended in Jan 2006.

Great interview right now im vegetarian leaning towards veganism 😊!!$$
I love her! We eat similar! I love fruits and veggies!

49:32 that's true - it's up to individuals to do their research. If they don't get it the 1st time - unfortunately they may never.

Good job dude.
Thanks it wasn't easy without proper stabilization and my 16 mm was sketchy on the focus. The lighting was difficult because of course outside things change. And it was all running then of course as usual. This was shot back in 2022. I've since got a new stabilizer that I was actually just working on rigging on a little more today. I also have a new camera that will be a good match for the full frame I get hopefully sometime this year. Something forward I'll be trying to get way more stable images, start practicing using S-Log so I can grade better, hopefully get any drone with a much better sensor and three lenses. But I'm loving this new camera and stabilizer. I'm also doing a handheld rig that would probably be really great and a tight spot like inside her bus. And the full frame if I can get it would be even better in a tight spot like that.
Are you sure this isn't Gary who's giving the interview?
King Solomon said,'There is nothing new under the sun.' It's a choice and many people make it for many reasons. People need to choose education before they feed others so they don't harm them. Can you do a program on how many animals we would be dealing with if they weren't part of a food supply, honest question, I don't mean anything sparky about it. Thank you

Emily is such an asset for the vegan community, she will never know how many people have become ethical vegans because of her efforts to raise awareness of the Animal Holocaust and educate people about the impact of their food choices.
There is no justification for not being Vegan !
Thank you for this wonderful interview !
Thank you for sharing 💚
Wow! Emily, the legend!
TOTALLY! 💚
Eremahgerd!! Emily!! I don't get celebrity crazy in this movement but I have SUCH mad respect for Emily. I went vegan nearly eight years ago before I even knew there was vegan content on TH-cam and then not long after I ran across her content and then that's how I leaned who Gary Yourofsky even was to begin with. So stoked you were able to interview her 💚💚💚🥗🥗🥗
awesome, she really is a pioneer :)
I have always loved her. i’ve been watching her since I first became vegan. it’s great to hear her story!
thanks!
Me 2 ❤
This was such a great interview! Thank you ! Emily is a great human being and an inspiration for many of us.
👍👍👍 Whole food plant based for the environment and health; vegan for the victims!
She's not just vegan. She's whole plant based, which is the healthiest way to eat.
yep! Well, I think those are synonymous. What's healthiest for human animals is most vegan :)
amazing. 🌱
Veganism has nothing to do with health. God this is annoying
@@SnakeySerpentine well if you're being consistent it does have something to do with health. Like in so many ways it has to do with health. If it wasn't healthy then it would be insane to encourage people to do this. Because humans are animals and we want what's best for animals we should include humans in the equation of compassion. And it just happens to be what's best for non-human animals is best for human animals. And this applies to mental health as well as physical health. And this is everything from chronic disease to non-infectious disease to mental illness. Yeah veganism has a lot to do with health. And trying to separate it to me is annoying because it's completely illogical. At least when I'm thinking about it...
@@SnakeySerpentine But don't get me wrong I do you like making it clear that it is a philosophy and not a diet. And I think it's important to make that clear because after all it is and when somebody understands this and they truly become vegan they will find a way to make it work whereas if they treat it like some diet then there's no reason to stick with it in the face of social pressures and whatnot. But I think it's very important to make the message about being as healthy as possible while also making it clear that it's a philosophy first.
Emily is an amazing voice for the animals. It's been wonderful listening to her and seeing her unique lifestyle. Love the knowledge and wisdom she shares as well. Great interview!
thanks so much for wanting and commenting :)
One of my favourite all time people. Also.i think we ought to stop spreading fear about raising kids vegan. I have 2 vegan kids from pre conception and they are healthy as can be. I mean they eliminate unhealthy foods from their diet and include healthy foods such as beans greens fruit nuts seeds legumes. Supplement B12 D3 very occasionally DHA iodine. It's pretty easy. Hardest thing is keeping them away from non vegan foods with school friends parties etc.
Thanks so much for watching and commenting. What do you mean "stop spreading dear"? Also, I'd LOVE to interview you. I'm going to be doing a lot of content around raising children vegan this year!
Oops sorry I commented from my other old channel...
@@neofilm sorry I meant fear corrected comment. Too many times I see people scared of raising kids vegan but if you think about it logically you are eliminating dairy which kids don't need because they aren't cows and meat which we also don't need. As long as they eat healthy wholesome plant foods and keep junk to a minimum and supplement as necessary they'll do great.
Great interview. Emily is always an inspiration. She is one of the most articulate and well-researched vegan and animal advocates anywhere.
No doubt! 💚💚💚
We missed you Emily!!❤
She still putting out content be sure to subscribe and hit the notification bell on her channel!
@@VeganLinked thank you so much!
A true legend!
My husband and I have spoken many times about the possibility of slaughter house workers being alot of the world's murders interesting possibility.
Love the bus! Emily is a very intelligent person with her heart in the right place. Awesome video!
Thanks so much for doing this video.
totally, thanks!
I LOVE SALADS !!!!!!!!!
talk about customizable food
Love the bus! Emily is a very intelligent person, Awesome attitude! She is a real inspiration to the rest of us vegans! Just shows what can be done when you stay true to your principles. Thanks for uploading this video. 😀
thanks for watching and the comment, hope you have a great new year!
So glad to see this Emily. You’re always inspiring! 🥰🙏
Loved this video ♥ Emily you really are incredible
Emily rocks!
Excellent interview. Love Emily's story and admire the work that she does! What a wealth of knowledge. I was not aware of her website. I'll definitely be checking it out a lot moving forward. Also, my jaw about dropped when she mentioned They Might Be Giants, one of my all-time favorite bands too!
So glad you like! Thanks so much for watching and sharing :-) enjoy the website it's awesome!
They Might Be Giants for the win!!
How is it I've never heard of you! I've been doing this since 95, hard to believe I haven't heard of you.
So glad you finally found her! :-)
1:02:36 This is still my sentiment a lot of times where I'm amazed at the things that people research, but they couldn't care less about the food they eat, their livelihood, etc 😮
I love Emily! She's such a badass ! I mean come on , speaks German, lives in a rad bus home, is a teetotaler like me, and she got BARNDED?!!! I had no idea! Her bite sized vids was what helped me switched from vegetarian to vegan finally! Best decision ever and I love Emily! She's so thoughtful, smart, and so cool!! Thanks for letting us into her world a bit!!!
I think Emily is great too. She helped me become vegan 8 years ago. I live in Yorkshire Uk. I love her compassion for animals and her dog was adorable. Thank you Emily..
Thank you Emily! You helped me go vegan. Your videos were so helpful after I decided to go mostly plant based, and contributed to my decision to go fully vegan.
What Emily said about a visit to a "nice slaughterhouse" actually shocked me. I did not realize that those exist and that people can have such a deep disconnection. I admire every vegan that has the courage to go to these places, but this sounded - like Emily said - worse, and on so many levels.
I wonder why there is no tax on meat for the damage animal farming does to animals, public and slaughterhouse workers' mental health and the environment.
I am of the opinion that at harvest time when the critters hear the equipment coming their way, they run away.
God I love this woman
Been following her for a long time
I wonder if she’s single lol 😂
She's a Nutter !!!!!!
God bless her for that ❤❤❤❤
I'm with her on being vegan even if it were unhealthy or cut years off my life. We're not some gods for the life of a human to outweigh the lives of the animals we'd murder for a non-vegan lifestyle. Thankfully, I've been vegan for 16 years and my health is only better than before.
I'm in the middle of editing a video right now where we're literally talking about this same thing. Thanks for watching! I've got some more awesome content coming too so be sure to subscribe and hit that notification bell :) I rarely if ever say that I probably should say it more often lol.
@@VeganLinked Thanks! Subscribed just now.
@@BloodyRosie thanks! 💚🔥
Hi jeff Thank-you for creating this channel im a succriber i really enjoy every content you put im vegetarian currently working my way to vegan i think it's best diet 😊!!$$
Love the bus home. It made me want to tune in.
It’s nice, but it probably gets 3 gallons to the mile😂 I like the picture of the inside. It’s really nice.
I love this girl
clearly a marriage of intelligence and ethics -- deep respect
When I get the 'you kill animals in harvesting' comment, I assume they've evolved to ingesting Light, so ask how they do it & get advice ✨️😵💫💗
Thank you both very much
Great interview, now I know how Emily talks in real life
Because in her Videos her language is more complex, beyond native speakery
this is very off scripted :)
Just a comment to feed the algorithm 🥦🥬🥕🥑🫑🍅🫛
Feed the beast!!!!! Thank you!!! 💚💚💚
🌺🌺❤❤❤
44:47 what’s better a hunter or a junk food vegan living in a city
A vegan is always going to be better. But I'm curious, when you say better what do you mean? Define and elaborate on your use of the word better.
WOW
I have workable solutions for all the food issues, including the transport, the growing, the supply and how to not have crop deaths. I’d really like to talk to you Jeff.
send me another message via email or text!!!!!!
@@VeganLinkedby the way, she’s awesome and this is a great interview!
1:03:47 it was a sad time in then 90s not being respected as a kid. We should have much more respect for kids - but where do we do this? I feel if we can go in a vegan direction - maybe we'll respect kids more. Kids are the future - they deserve the utmost respect. However, older people built the world - and we shouldn't lose them either.
19:03 the thing about bitesizevegan is that while the videos are great intros, it's going to be confusing the more you look at it deeper. She went deeper already, but there's a limit as to how far she goes - because there comes a point where the ideas break down and she doesn't want to tackle them. I actually thought about creating a youtube channel based off that, but didn't and won't - but I want to. There's so many deeper dives not explored.
For instance - the 'burger' can't be vegan to me, as its origins are animal based.
Finding nemo is a cartoon, a fictional character. The fish in the sea are meant to be eaten, they don't actually talk. Hope you can heal from condition 🙏❤️
You're meant to be eaten by bacteria. Everything is meant to be eaten at some point. Does that make it right for you to be violent as f***? Does that mean support the most violent and atrocious industry on the planet most invasive as it is the leading cause of deforestation, desertification, aquatic dead zones, zoonotic diseases that kill millions of people so people can increase the risk for chronic disease and all cause mortality based on an infantile habituated behavior that's nostalgic of barbaric times long ago? Or do you want to evolve like the rest of us into being more humane humans?
there is an issue with the animals dying less by veganism - because insects die by quadrillions for plants via pesticides. The fish and bycatch live off algae - which isn't a raised plant - and that's in the trillions (per year) - if we compare the biggest numbers. Then we have to think about all the fish and other animals used for manure and fishmeal and other fertilizers and you can see how plants start to lose. So if animals stopped eating crops, people would take that place - which won't change much of anything. Still - it's not excuse not to be vegan - you just go with veganic methods. You can culture plant tissue to avoid harming the plant and use bioreactors to avoid pesticides. What's the issue? The issue is that this is a carnist vs carnist argument. If you're killing animals to eat plants - that's not vegan. But if we count it as so, I see why the argument is made that way - because it makes sense about more animals being killed for crops than for meat - because I see how it's true. 43:15.
There's only 8 billion people. Yet over 70 billion animals are forced into existence to be slaughtered every year. Plus the bykill from what those animals eat. So all of this death and it only results in like 20 maybe 30% global food intake using more than 10 times the amount of land than plant agriculture that results in close to 80% global food intake. If you include aquatic life eating animals results in trillions more animals killed than plant agriculture. Plant agriculture might result in 7 billion animals killed while resulting in four times the amount of global food intake. If we switched to just eating animals that might be 10 billion animals accidentally killed for plant agriculture to feed the whole world instead of 70 billion animals intentionally killed PLUS all of their accidental deaths from feed to just feed 20% of the world. Surely can see how astronomically unsustainable and deadly eating animals is.
not sure why you ignore the quadrillions of insects killed for plant agriculture in your calculations. While we can grow plants in water to avoid killing insects - the best we got is kelp. When you grow plants on land - you end up with competitions for land space unseen in the ocean (namely because we've killed so much in the water to begin with to have much open space).
Still - even if you grow crops in the ocean - you are taking the sunlight away from all the ocean creatures underneath it. That too is very detrimental - because we mainly grow crops on the surface of water - like kelp, rice, etc.
Again - it's compared to trillions at most underwater.
Sometimes raising animals underwater leads to invasive parasites and animals growing on fish - like sea lice and salmon, or worms in fish. Still - there are nematodes that I heard grow inside plants.
If you want to go into the whole soil erosion killing of the soil microbiome to grow root crops and the parasites that're boiled when you eat fish and the sea lice, etc. - there's so much life that is killed in both industries! I don't consider either to be vegan.
To me, what's most vegan is cell culturing plants - that way you don't have to grow livestock for cells. Also if you forage plants that are pest-resistant and it's close by to avoid hurting life as you walk, etc. - then possibly veganism is better for the animals at that extreme than eating dead carcasses found in nature. I feel with foraging - you will likely experience microorganisms, like worms, etc. regardless of plant or animal eaten.
So indoor bioreactors - veganism wins, but growing crops outdoors - I would say it does lose in comparison to eating animals.
What it does win in is preserving biodiversity - it saves species of animals and plants when vegan compared to eating animals. However, this is not true in biodiverse habitats where clear-cutting land for growing plants like chocolate, palm oil, etc. hurts more animals than catching a fish out of the ocean or eating insects off a plant (or even eating their remnants that they leave behind).
To me, not every animal product is going to hurt animals - if you consume what an animal leaves behind - such as footprints for a scientific observation. Not every plant will involve less animal suffering - carnivorous plants exist. If you eat a plant, you might accidentally hurt animals while picking that plant. It all depends.@@VeganLinked
