Beautifully put together 💕 I'm 40 and have been vegan for 26 years. In the beginning I felt alone, I didn't meet another vegan for 12 years! Now we are everywhere 😁 Being vegan is who I am and I am so proud.
That’s amazing!! So cool that you did it without having the support of a big community around you 🙌💚🌎🌱
I went vegan due to cancer diagnosis, that was 14 years ago. Still vegan. I couldn't imagine eating an animal...I see a living being when I see an animal, not a meal.
I’ve been questioning my veganism a lot lately especially with a lot of creators sharing that they aren’t vegan anymore. i started to see veganism as restrictive and unnatural. this video truly brought me back to alignment with my truth and my beliefs. thank you, Nikki 🦋✨
My heart just exploded with happiness! I’m so glad this video was helpful for you ☺️ I know it’s easy to doubt and become confused by veganism but honestly, it’s so simple and it creates so much peace for ourselves and the world around us 💚 I’m always here if you have any questions or need some recipe ideas!
If 10 people went vegan and six of them stopped being vegan, we still have a surplus of four. Notice that all these "Why I'm no longer vegan" videos are full of anecdotes of feelings, and have little to no science involved. Anecdotes are interesting, but far from scientific. The overwhelming nutritional science strongly suggests that plant-based diets are disease preventing. Don't let carnist pseudoscience budge you; animal lives are on the line.
Wonderful 💞🙌
Vegan for love. Vegan for life. Let's keep this theme going #whyimstillvegan
I am still vegan, now and for (all) life!
I’m STILL vegan simply because ...
...animals are not food.
... there’s no excuse not to be!
I really enjoy all of your videos!!
Agree so much
My dog was giving me a big lick on the cheek when I went past this comment. Animals are not, and will never be considered food in my book. ❤❤❤
i dont necessarily like the taste of meat, but it is nutritious. if i eat meat im satisfied until the next day. i dont think one meal a day is really possible on a vegan, or esp. a fruitarian diet. i do agree that animals can be treated better and some farms do. no battery hen farms etc. but yeah im not giving up meat, just like 99% of the world that eat both meat and vegetables
@Jakob SHow do you people always compare people to livestock?

Lose Your Veganity Hi
my one year vegan anniversary is on Feb 4th (3 days eeeek!!!) and i am still, and will continue to be, vegan because i care about the animals, I care about the environment and i want the generations behind me to experience a wonderful world. I care about my health and being cautious of what i put in my body. Im vegan because I give af about more than what has been "normal" for so long, i give af about more than my tastebud!! THANK YOU FOR THIS NIKKI.
Nicely put, that's what veganism is about, a better world for all beings, thank you 💚✌🌱
Agreed! Thanks Paulo ☺️💚
These videos should go viral! Not the other bs clickbait “why I’m no longer vegan” videos 😇
Thank you! That would be awesome. I would love for more people to know that veganism is about compassion and empowerment! We are all capable of doing our best and creating positive changes in our own lives and in the world around us 💚 I think that’s a message everyone should hear ✨
NikkiVegan what positive response from u ...yea we need to show compassion and respect to all the living being in this planet....
I love this, thank you.
Eating like you care, loved that part so much! This almost brought me to tears
Aw thanks Shannon! ❤️❤️❤️
I've been vegan for a little over a year, but I went vegetarian about 7 years ago. I can't go out to eat and see plates with dead animals on them and forget the life that this animal had taken away from them. I see eating animals as something so primitive and barbaric. I'm still vegan because I care about life. I care for my own life, my family's life, the lives of my friend's, your life, the life of these animals (oppressed and privileged). I'm still vegan because I KNOW that I am doing the right thing. I am still vegan because I have done the research and I want to do the right thing. I am vegan because I am compassionate person and I want to join one of the very best movements in the world's history. ......Also, I need that tofu scramble at 5:08 in my life!
I recently saw a vlog of a family I watch where they collaborated with a pork company by talking about it’s ‘health’ benefits and showed them cooking it. I nearly threw up! Thankfully, I wasn’t the only one to comment about it!!
Couldn’t have said it any better. Loved this video girl friend ! 💜🙌🏼🙌🏼
Brought tears to my eyes♥️
🐮I’m still vegan strong🤘🏻
Thank you
Aw thanks Martha! #veganfamily
You are INSPIRING. You have a gift for inspiring people. You are standing in your truth. Thank you so much
Thank you Natalie! That’s really nice of you to say. I just want people to understand how powerful they are and that creating positive change, in our own lives and in the world, isn’t an impossible goal. It’s a matter of making small purposeful changes and being consistent. It all adds up to big, powerful change 🙌💚🌱🌎☮️✨
Such a ray of light with all the denouncements lately!!
Aw thank you Lexi!! Us vegans gotta stand up and be a good example for positive change. Change js not an impossible goal, it’s a day by day, decision by decision effort that we can all participate in ☺️💚
Lexi Sticka yes!!! So refreshing
Tears.....one billion thumbs up Nikki !! I only wish that I made the switch at a younger age.....💓💕💖
Been vegan for almost two years. Did for health but everyday feel the compassion growing! Thank you Nikki! Well done video and on point message.
Brought a tear to my eye! 10 months eating vegan and so proud of the changes I have made. I love how you stated the facts but with a gentle passion in your voice. We need more videos like this. Definitely sharing with friends and family when they ask why I decided to go vegan. You are able to eloquently explain what I seem to always get tounge tied with. Thank you for your message!!
Even meat eaters often are deficient in b12 because it doesn't come from animals. It comes from the earth and is found in vegetables, grass, etc. Unfortunately our food is grown in clean conditions so we don't get it. Cattle are given shots. I use "Garden of Life" "mykind" b12 spray, 500mcg, under my tongue a few times a week. This is one of the most beautiful talks about being vegan that I've seen/heard. Thanks for posting it. Well done.
you're right, but some carnists don't have any issues with continuing to perpetuate myths. Another example is the protein myth, even though the amino acids actually originate from plants.
b12 production in cattle is enhanced by cobalt, a naturally occuring element. thats why farmers put out cobalt salts for them to lick. they dont give them b12 injections.
@@lloydchristmas4547Not carnists Omnivorous People are omnivores
@@jub8891I wonder where the rabbit who lives in my backyard under my shed gets his B12 Unlike people he doesn't need supplements He gets everything he needs from plants , but we don't Its like we are missing something in our vegan diet
@@garypack1709 People used to get it from soil stuck to naturally grown foods. Our foods and soil are not natural anymore. We could still get enough if we grew our own organic food that had some soil clinging to it. It's no big deal to take a cheap supplement. Even the animals people eat are given supplements. Just take a supplement yourself instead of killing an animal for something so cheap and readily available. Most people, including meat eaters, are deficient in B12.
holy freaking moly YES YES YES. this is my favorite vid you've ever made and I'm so gonna share it!!! also I just wrote the quote "be the change you wish to see in the world" on a mini white board hanging on my fridge yesterday:))
A much needed video in light of the recent “I’m not vegan anymore” videos! A wonderful reminder! Thanks for sharing!!
Vegan for about 2 1/2 years, but I never get tired of seeing these types of videos. Beautiful!
Great video. It’s exactly why I’m vegan for the animals. #choosecompassion
Thank you! I’m so glad you can relate 💚
Strength in numbers❤go vegan view!!!, behind you all the way. Vegan always!!
Thank you for the encouragement 🙌🙌🙌❤️❤️❤️❤️ it means a lot
love your videos, glad i recently found your channel, ive been vegan for over a year now and cant wait for the future
Oh my god this was absolutely beautiful! 🙌🏼💚💚💚
Just beautiful and so well said❤️🌱✨ Thank you Nikki!!
This is awesome! I’m so glad you three released these in tandem!!!
Thanks! I loved watched Hannah and Nisha’s videos too! Felt so good to release them together like this ☺️ glad you enjoyed them
Commenting a second time because my first comment was made before I even watched your video 😊 I found myself nodding and saying “YES” the entire video. Amazing. Well said ❤️
I've been Vegan for over a month now. Your words speak many emotions 🙏
Love from Montreal!!! I’m still an vegan after 12 years and always will be❤️❤️❤️ so happy you made this !! I think when you truly do make the ethical connection, it comes naturally.
Still vegan, still inspired and stronger than ever. I am going to run my very first Marathon this year in Chicago and I will have done it Plant-Powered.
Wow that’s awesome! Good luck with the marathon! That’s so impressive ☺️💚
Beautiful video! Thank you so much for caring! 💚✌🏽
This video was so well put together. The voiceover, the editing, the combination of different aspects of veganism.. I like how positive most of these #whyimstillvegan videos have been. Such a great way of showcasing the positive side of the vegan community.
Beautiful video! Wow!!!! I’m still vegan too and always will be!!!
That’s awesome! Love being part of this vegan community! Keep shining your light ✨
Awesome vid!!!! Thank you so much for posting
Had to step away from desk for a minute, started tearing up at work watching this. Makes me so proud to be vegan. Thank for such an amazing video, I hope it inspires others.
Aw I’m sorry to make you cry! I know what you mean though! I’m so so proud of the vegan community rn 💚💚💚
Love you ! ❤️
Thank you for making one of these videos! I'm so glad to see this instead of the "Why I'm No Longer Vegan..." videos. I'm not sure if Freelee started this trend, but that's where I first heard about it. I should make a "Why I'm Still Vegan" video as well. I'm a little ashamed of myself for not making one. I have been vegan for over 3 years now and will be vegan for the rest of my life! You are so beautiful inside and out!
Rawavna who claimed to be a raw vegan was caught eating fish at a restaurant. She then made a video "explaining" why she was no longer vegan. The rest followed. Shame!
such a beautiful video Nikki! teared me up 😢
Loveee. This. What you wrote is reminiscent of Colleen Patrick Goudreau’s podcast. Beautiful. Thank you. ❤️
Totally! That podcast turned me vegan - special place in my heart forever for Colleen.
Wow HUGE compliment, I admire her so much! Thank you ☺️💚
im currently crying watching this, it's absolutely amazing!! this video needs to be seen by everyone!!! im so thankful for you, spreading awareness like this. I'm so passionate about animals and it's amazing that we are the voices that the animals don't have and i cry every time i think about how horrific the meat and dairy industry really is. I've been vegan for a year now but i wish i was vegan my whole life because i can't even believe the lies ive been told, how blinded i was growing up, how i was raised eating so much meat and cheese, everything. My bf just went vegan this year and he doesn't quite have the ethical connection to animals yet, he's a health vegan but like you, it'll come with time and I'm gonna show him this and do everything i can to help him realize that animals are not below us, we are ALL beings and we are all the same. Humans are just speciesist.
I'm still vegan too, because truth is more important than the praise of fools. The video is on point btw 🤗
Completely agree!!!
This is a beautiful video! ❤️ thank you for posting
Thank you so much for making this video!!! I needed to see these after the seemingly never ending parade of 'why I'm not vegan anymore' videos 😭
Ugh so many CHILLS as I watch this video. Thank you, thank you, thank you. THIS is the side of veganism people need to see. Compassion. ❤️
Great video. So glad to see positive videos like these being posted despite the recent negative ones by those who have decided to turn their backs on the animals, whom they once said they loved. I’m STILL vegan as well and I always will be.🌱💕
Thank you! I’m so glad that you enjoyed it 🙌🙌🙌 we all have been so personally impacted by veganism and changed for the better so we’re passionate about sharing ☺️
Love you and the vegan view so much! Every time I'm feeling frustrated or worried you manage to put everything in perspective and be an instant light. Thank you for all you do!
Great video! Love the positivity, honesty and information.
Thank you for sharing your story and for continuing to inspire all of us. I’m slowly trying to veganize my a few meals a week and it’s been so wonderful.
That’s AWESOME!! I’m always here if you need some ideas or recipe Inspo ☺️❤️
14 months later and I’m still vegan and LOVING it! 💛 grateful to see likeminded people out in the world!!! keep up the good work ✌🏽
So so so happy to see these videos from all the vegan view girls 😊😊😊😊 I was waiting for this. Love all of your videos!
this video brought me to tears! I'm struggling to become vegan. thanks to this video, I am vegan now! i am vegan for love and gratitude. every time i feel like giving up, i will watch this video. and i will share my vegan recipes as well.
I recently became vegan last month and so many people around me kept questioning why I gave up meat.. which made me second guess myself. One of your videos, prior to watching this one, flipped that switch in my head. Thank you for raising awareness and helping those like me transition to a better lifestyle.
Incredible video I wish everyone who doesn’t understand veganism would watch it!!!
The author of this touching video is so beautiful inside out! Thank you for sharing your wisdom and beauty with us! 🍍🍓🍒🍑🍐🍉🍈🌷🌴🌳🌲🌱🌰🌸🌹🍀🍃🌺🌻🌼🌾🌿🌞🌏🌍🌎xxx
Loved your video!!!
I’m a new Vegan of 15 days,Yaaay!! I NEVER want to go back.. I’m soooooo enjoying eating this way... learning how to cook differently is a challenge.. it all is really, I’m 52 years old and have eaten meat all my life... and have a lot to learn, But eating Veggies,fruits etc has really been such a pleasure!!! I’m soooooo glad I’ve made this choice and am embarking on this new journey..
I love this!!! Not only is everything you've said so true and important, but the video itself is beautifully edited!
This needs to be shared.
I’m only 9 months in and very happy. Thank you for sharing ❤️🐖
I eat mainly plant based and I love that part where you said “eat like you care”. Such a beautiful video! Inspired me to eat completely plant based today. I’m taking it a day at a time. 🧡🌱
That’s awesome Lily! That’s how I did it too, slowly over time ☺️ hope you enjoy lots of delicious vegan food today 🙌🌱💚✨
I'm still vegan (including clothes, cosmetics, and cleaning products). It's been 9 years and isn't going to change. Great video!
THANK YOU! I just posted an update or addition to this video today! It's all about vegan motivation! Hope you enjoy ☺️☺️ th-cam.com/video/4AHKIvaH8UE/w-d-xo.html
I'm still vegan after 5 years and for Life!! Thank you for making this video it was very well done. It gave me chills and made me cry 🙂❤️❤️❤️❤️
This was absolutely beautiful. Thank you so much for sharing and shining bright✨
I don’t even know you but your vids lately have me so happy to be a subbie to someone who’s clearly a kind and compassionate person. Sending you much love ❤️
Wow, this video was beautifully done, crying!! I’m coming up on my 2 year anniversary as a vegan and this made me so proud to be apart of this movement!! Compassion for the win!! 💗💗💗
Such a powerful video! Thank you for sharing!
Beautiful! I'm 55, I have just gone through a few family traumas and for some reason, the Vegan switch has turned on! Go me. I have always felt deep down I didn't want meat, now I'm living it. Love your videos, keep up the great inspirations. Love xx 🌱
Absolutely love this. I’ve been Vegan for 6 years and it has changed my life in so many positive ways.
I'm Vegan for all the reasons that you shared. Thanks for letting us see a little of your vegan life on a weekly basis it really helps to inspire this 53 year old Grandma!!! I've been vegan 3 years now!!!
Everything you said in this video is the reason why I'm still vegan. This was amazing. Vegan for almost 2 years and NEVER going back :)
I remember in the summer of 2017 I was so tired of feeling so tired and sick all the time. I'd read about vegan diets and thought a lot about it so one night i jumped on TH-cam and several hours later after binge watching what seemed like every video you ever made, I decided I wanted to be vegan. Every single video you and the girls from The Vegan View put out are so inspiring to me and constantly solidify my lifestyle and choices. I could go on and on, but I'll keep it short and sweet- thank you, thank you, thank you for all that you do for vegans everywhere. I hope you realize how many people you help on a day to day basis and how much you are appreciated.
This!!! 🙌🏼 I couldn’t have said it better myself.
Preach it mama! So glad to see someone actually do this video 🙌🏻
I'm still vegan for all the reasons you said and said so well, thank you!
Love this! Thank you so much for putting this out!
This was so well done Nicole! I find it so hard to put it into words of why i'm vegan / why I'm still vegan but you have done it!
Omg I love this so much!!! Thank you Nikki, you are amazing girl ❤️ nearly 2 years vegan and never going back 💪🏻
Love this ❤️. Your quote in the end is what I live by and why I believe that one person can make a difference. I’m still vegan ❤️🙌🏽
I've been vegetarian for 2 years and a week ago I decided I was going to 'cut down' on my dairy and egg consumption. After a few hours of research that same night I decided I was no longer going to consume or buy any animal products. I feel so proud of my choices and I am having so much fun with my food!
Omg you got me with tears 💕 I’m still vegan and proud!
Love this video. 219k gallons of 💧 saved per year.... An amazing stat! Happy to play my part too.
so important! thank you for making this!!☺️💕
This honestly made me tear up. Such an incredible, powerful video.
And “eat like you care” might just be my new motto. ❤️❤️❤️
So glad to know that some people still care 👏🏼
nikki, you moved me.
this video is so true, beautiful, honest, powerful and just incredible and i thank you for sharing it. you really put into words what it’s all about. much love ♥️
Best video I’ve watched in a long time! Good job Nikki ❤️
I’m not Vegan... yet! Over the last year I’ve cut out dairy,beef and pork. I’m a work in progress. One step at a time and I believe I’ll get there. That’s why I’m a subscriber of this channel. I find it very helpful. Thanks!
This is zo relatable! I went plantbased a year ago for health, and as time progressed and i saw what it did to me.....
After about 3 months i first got the question "don't you ever smuggle?" after not understanding what they ment i got it. With every weightloss diet people fall off the wagon and eat pasta if they are low carb or potatochips if the are low fat. I never went outside my "diet" ti got me thinking. My diet is not a diet, it's a way of life.
Eating outside vegan is simply not an option, animals are not food.
I eat whole food plant based low oil, i do smuggle with that on occasion but even that is rare, when you make the connection there is no way back. I'm now vegan for life.
It made my life so much better in every way, i lost some friends and it has not always been easy but i'm still vegan, and for ever will be.
I just don’t understand why people still search for reasons to eat animals !!
I truly believe that living in peace with every being is the key to enlightenment.
I also respect plants and love mother nature.
"rather than what they really are: a life" LOVED this, absolutely beautiful video nikki!
“Win, win, win” 💚🌱
Comparing animals like pigs and cows to my beloved dog was the main reason I went vegan. I would never eat my dog, or any dog, so why would I eat a beautiful cow?
I am so glad you guys did this! I actually thought about how a video like this would be so beneficial from you guys before you posted it. Thank you! And yes, I am still vegan❤️
That’s awesome Ashley! I’m so glad we were on the same page and that we were able to make a video series that you really wanted to watch. That makes me so happy ☺️❤️
I started becoming vegan for health reasons. I was told I had a pusedotumor condition in my brain and there was no cure and I was supposed to be on this horrible medication everyday for the rest of my life. I took my health into my own hands researched veganism and after 8 months being on whole food plant based diet my condition was gone and I was able to get off medication, my doctors were shocked and told me to keep doing whatever I’m doing. Veganism has changed my life forever and saved my life along with so many other lives.
I'm new to this journey ... less than two years and I'm only about 95% vegan, but it's videos like this that inspire me to "man up" for that last 5% and go for it! You are beautiful and inspirational. Thank you for such a great manifesto!
