C J That you willfully ignore how the dairy and egg industries operate since eight years. So what does it say about you? You're most likely vegetarian to put yourself on a pedestal, not for the animals. I managed to be vegetarian for six months-ish. Then I realized how hypocritical it is and went vegan.
Alex i am curious, do you find it immoral for people to eat sustainably raised meats, meaning from local organic free range farms that treat animals well?
wow you seems like a not nice person! and since you seems to need these definition, this is coming from a vegan. relax or you wont make that lifestyle for too long.
S S Kushner is probably up right how pacing wondering why Natalie Portman does not like him. Until then, he’ll have to settle for being a multi billionaire trying to help the president govern our great country while Portman acts in shitty films.
@@msalcido89 They're all satanists sadly..I liked Natalie before I knew who and what hollywood really is and what needs to be done to get roles..it's deplorable, no good humans really in hollywood in my opinion, they just play one for the public..
I admire Natalie Portman for standing up for what she believes in. Despite probably already knowing there's going to be backlash, she decided not to go to Israel to receive the Genesis prize because of Israeli government treatment of Palestinians
It's a shame she reproduced though. She should have adopted. Breeding more humans is disastrous for both the environment and animals I guess she is just another human who has to pass on her so-called special genes. She is fake af as well. "Don't wanna judge anyone" lol. Gimme Morrissey any day instead of this hypocrite.
Find local farms that practice humane ways of raising livestock. We can help with our wallets and try not to buy meat if we don’t know the source. Of course it’s not that easy, but the more the public demand the things, the sooner it can happen. Also reducing your meat intake and finding alternative sources of protein will help too. I know it won’t be easy, but I am willing to do my part as a meat eater.
C J also you can reduce meat intake! You don’t have to become vegan or vegetarian, but if you have meat in every meal every day, that’s 21 meals each week with meat in it. What if we reduce that to 15 meals? 10 meals? If everyone reduced their intake by half I think it would help a lot !
TheSilentMONARCHY I've vegan, and I agree that it doesn't have to be all or nothing. It's difficult to commit to eating zero animal products and to demand that of everyone is unrealistic. Eating local helps too - look into co-ops and shares in CSAs in your area to support independent farmers!
@Jason Q She wasn't judgemental, she is just stating facts. Humans will have to change their behaviour in order to survive. If future generations won't think and behave differently - there won't be no future generations
lalala she was being judgmental. I know, because I’m judgmental and I agree with her. 😁 I still eat meat, but I’m all for change. We consume what the industry provides. If vegan burgers were the only burgers available, that’s what people would eat. It’s like electric cars. Great. I’ll take one. Oh...there are none. So, we’ll have to be patient.
Jason Q Ah, sorry. I thought you were being defensive. I guess I've met too many people in real life who'll just go crazy if someone states they're vegetarian/vegan. I understand your point but I think, as she states, we consumers too can change a lot. You already see that change in supply everywhere you go. Industry is profit based - it won't change until we change. :)
If you go look for the Conan interview from 1994 when she was 13 she tells a story about going to France while filming The Professional and how she didn't like the food because she's a vegetarian. She's consistent!
@@MyLalala9 she said in the interview she doesn’t pass judgement when talking about meat eaters. Although it seems she not judges Jared for his political career
@@rohin614 There's a difference between a personal dietary choice and a position in government that he got through nepotism that he then used to further his own interests. Not equal in the slightest. If you make a series of political decisions in your "career" you will be judged. That's not a personal choice, it affects millions.
@@MyLalala9 i think it’s wise to look to friends/family first while searching for someone to be your advisor. Secondly the things he did benefited the interests of the masses(which is his job) and yes , himself. Lastly I agree he will be judged as we all are and should be but just find it funny she doesn’t judge people for their diet but does for politics. And your diet choices affect more than just yourself, for example her diet choices have definitely impacted many people
Jared's daddy paid 2.5 million to get him into Harvard because Jared is a lazy fool. Here's a high school administrator commenting on his acceptance - "There was no way anybody in the administrative office of the school thought he would on the merits get into Harvard. His GPA did not warrant it, his SAT scores did not warrant it. We thought for sure, there was no way this was going to happen. Then, lo and behold, Jared was accepted. It was a little bit disappointing because there were at the time other kids we thought should really get in on the merits, and they did not."
Marcel Diezasch do you work for the Harvard admissions office? No? Then your know-nothing statement basically carries no water. You cant quantify your statement with facts, you're basing it off of a gut reaction. Did Jared get in off of his father's dollar? YES! How do we quantify that? His test scores, grades, and SATs and 2.5 million dollars. How do you quantify your claim? Oh? It's based off of nothing? How many black people and Indian people deserved to be at Harvard? How many didnt? Give me that number and I'll happily agree with you. But until then, you're making baseless assumptions.
Stephen Colbert is a great host 👏🏻 Respectful and intelligent. I like that closing statement “Once we treat animals better, maybe we will treat each other better”
This was expert interviewing skills by Colbert. He kept the focus on his guest and was able to keep the conversation flowing forward while setting her up for banter. She even looked to be a little shy at first but he handled it masterfully. He managed to draw details from her naturally and was very engaged throughout. 5/7
Truly. You can really tell when he likes someone, he goes back to being like a normal guy who's kind of in awe--and who wouldn't be. I've had a crush on Portman since she was in the Professional and Beautiful girls. Such an amazing presence.
@Josue2018 Trumpdump is turning into quite the little dictator though, he doesn't want to answer to Congress. He thinks he's above our laws. How elitist of him, how dare we question his corruption? We peasants.
@Josue2018 Do we though? It seems like Congressional and Senate Republicans are pretty much saying the President can do whatever he wants without fear of consequence. That means we live in a dictatorship, not a free country. Maybe WAKE THE FUCK UP, PERHAPS?
Josue2018 this is dumb, is a stupid believe that is imposed to americans to say latin america is not free or that is not free enough as the United States. In Fact I dare to say we have more freedom that you. It’s illegal to buy guns and do shootings in the schools and the we dont believe too much in that consummerism trash that you vanerate as if it were freedom. You are as much as us latin americans victims of this consumerist society whom the governemment of United States controls in al over the world.
"Say what you want! It's a free country!" sez Colbert, wisely. Natalie ripostes, "Yes, the last days..." That's how she stole me heart in "Beautiful Girls" She speaks truth to Glower!
Sure, because it is compassionate to shun a fellow American and a fellow Jew because of their political Party. XD It is Hypocrisy and Virtue-Signaling!
@Daniel Callahan Nobody was talking about Roman Polanski. The comment was simply about somebody promoting more responsible and sustainable consumption of meat that could be less cruel to the animals and less harmful to the environment. It seems that you are the SHEEP who can't see past your indoctrinated hatred of "liberals" to get that message. Sad. "Baaaaa baa" (translation for those non-sheep folks out there, that is me telling him to "go fuck himself", in his native Ungulate language)
She is incredibly classy while talking about two very uncomfortable topics. It would be very disheartening to see an old friend either transform into or reveal himself as a monster. And talking about veganism without being judgemental is difficult because ir is a moral issue where she disagrees with the majority of people in the world. But she walks that fine line with grace. Good for her.
It is not classy to call somebody that you once called friend a monster. And just why or how did Kushner transform or reveal himself to be a monster? Oh, wait, I know. He's Donald Trumps's son-in-law and works in his administration. That's enough, isn't it? Also, If they wanted to talk about former bad students who went far in politics, why not mention Obama and Kerry? Oh, wait, I know this one, too. They're Democrats.
@@davesimental3571 It is right there in the comment. "It would be very disheartening to see an old friend either transform into or reveal himself as a monster." Personally I think celebrities should stay out of politics, most of them haven't had the education, or acquired the knowledge to be able to add anything of any value.
She makes a great point about how people in general should try to be at least a little more conscious about what they eat and try to replace, say, one or two meals per week with a vegan alternative. Factory farming isn't sustainable but that doesn't mean everybody needs to become a vegan. It's not an all-or-nothing proposition. If millions of people just ate a little less meat and dairy, that itself would have a huge positive impact on the environment.
She is almost too perfect. It sickens me. 😂 LOL. Beautiful Vegan Harvard educated award winning actress who happens to be an environmentalist. Let other people have some sunshine lady! 😂
Way To Go, #NataliePortman re the #veganism & new movie #EatingAnimals. Maybe guide Jared toward real Conservatism ? ... Conservation, #ProFamily, #EconomicPatriotism, anti-corruption ...?
Genuinely laughed? It looked like she was forcing herself to laugh. @braceswhey, my friend from Huntsville, from college, Rebecca Miller.. she is doing things like that, and recently repaid in full her college loans, using some website.. I think it's All40.com or something.. Interesting thing is that she was able to do it working part time only, managing her classes along the way as well
Ichigo TRILLONATOR I think you think it’s genuine, like how most guys think women like them when the women are just being polite. Plus, she’s an actress.
@PaintedWOLF, you are just a jealous human being. She went to Harvard not Columbia, that was repeated several time during the interview btw, but you was too focused on hating. The regular folks you have in mind don’t go to Harvard. You have to be either super smart and academically gifted OR super rich and your daddy makes massive donations to get admitted to such universities. I suggest you go back to focus on “making America great again” lol
I love that she wants to bring awareness, but not judge those who choose to eat meat. I do what she said. two or three times a week I don't eat meat, but then, I do love my veggies and pasta.
So this is how good it feels to watch an interview with two highly intelligent, Harvard going individuals. I can only hope I had their intelligence. So much chemistry. Stephen Colbert should have her more on the show!
He did have her... he is Hamill's errr... Luke's father. Hehehehe... He came back through a wormhole. (waves hand horizontally) "These are not the DNA tests you are looking for."
She is sooooo dumb!!!! She went to harvard for what??? So some explain that dumb woman a lot of people depend on that industry and I am totally against beef and pork because of the methane and pigs pollute the water. But apart from that I cannot do without chicken and fish I think they are fine, when eaten in moderation. Tell that dumb woman every one has his own choice.
Dale McComb very true. If we didn’t kill animals for our consumption (food, leather for shoes, clothing, etc) this planet would be over run in a heartbeat.
@@mickswann357 do u also need a citation that if you don’t breathe air, you die. You want a citation? Look at India. The one country that doesn’t eat cows & are overrun with them nearly everywhere you go. You’re an idiot.
Noplay I had the feeling she was quite nervous - probably about the whole vegetarian/vegan bit. People can be super super sensitive about that. I think Colbert handled it really well by giving her the opportunity to explain her view instead of simply making fun of her or being defensive
I wish this interview had lasted at least 30min.. She is my queen. The perfect woman: smart, funny, cute, beautiful, sexy, and COMPASSIONATE. It doesn't get better than this.
thank you so much for interviewing Natalie Portman on your show as well as promoting her documentary! we need more guests who believe in compassion and kindness for all living beings. I am very impressed that Stephen Colbert doesnt eat any land animals!
Absolute scum is an absolute claim and only the Sith and/or conservatives speak in absolutes. She has too much charm and self awareness then to judge as the aforementioned do with absolute hate. Say what you want about Kushner but at the end of the day I bet he cares about something you care about but you will never know, the problem with our culture is that the vitriol for ratings news media has taught us to hate those we disagree with instead of seeking what we have in common, hate is easier and more contagious then understanding and that is why I believe our screen faceted society is probably doomed.
this is how an intelligent woman approaches the vegan thing, she doesn't go around aggressively and condescendingly telling people how evil and bad meats are which often trigger backlashes from the other side.
DDMM DM I'm wouldn't be so sure about that. It does create a lot of backlash, but at the same time, the message gets out there. The theory behind "violent" protests like that is that any publicity is good publicity. I don't necessarily agree with that, but I also wouldn't dismiss it completely. A lot of civil rights movements in the past were very in your face and it did work after all.
They are still telling you the truth ! Too bad it doesn’t always come in the package that makes you feel good . Try taking some of that great advise , because it will benefit you and the planet .
I do agree with their concerns about animal being badly treated in the factories but a lot of the things they said such as vegan is the healthiest or meat is evil, it will kill you...etc are not so accurate. I am not saying that meat is superior, reality is just not that simple but some vegan people just think they know the whole scientific truth but in actuality, the contrary is true. Many of them simply don't know enough "real" science to grasp the whole picture. I am absolutely ok with most vegan people, just those who go around "educating" people condescendingly are pretty annoying indeed.
PianoShow It’s far easier to change a person’s behavior by being polite and nice. Screaming at people and cursing them out will not endear anybody to a cause.
Yes: the problem is factory farming! Regardless of what you eat, we should all be able to agree that the animals who are consumed, or used for what they produce, shouldn't have to suffer in order to serve humans. You don't have to think they're smart or cute; you just need to acknowledge that they can feel pain and fear, and that they don't deserve that torture. And if someone can't even be met on that level, well, is there really any point in bringing up the impact factory farming has on the overall health of humans and the Earth? It doesn't make sense to try to convert people to veganism or vegetarianism. It's futile to even consider. But the way food is produced is something that needs to change and can change.
NuthinMuffins yep I agree for the most part, personally I think meat grown from meat cells seems to be the most ethical and environmental friendly way to produce meat, never tryed only becouse it's new and I'm yet to see it for sale at my supermarket, but yer I think that is the way forward
THIS! Humans are omnivores, and just because we have to ability to consciously decide not to eat something doesn't mean we have to. But what we do have to do is be humane when we play god to these animals. animals hunting in the wild don't torture their food before eating it and neither should we. it's not about giving up something, it's about changing the way to get it.
I love how she just accepts everyone no matter what they decide when it comes to their diets... she doesnt judge people for eating animals because its their choice, not hers, and shes not preaching about it either... she is just a vegan and tries to explain why she is one, not why others should be. If only all vegans were like her
If you're a vegan you SHOULD judge people for their diets, just like we judge people who are sexist or racist. If you choose to be sexist or racist, your "choice" has a victim that you're ignoring and therefore you're making the world a worse place. It should not be tolerated. Why should we respect someone's "choice" if they choose the cruel option? That's not a choice, that's a violation.
If all vegans were like her, there'd be far less vegans in the world! Many people need a good, sharp kick up the arse to wake up like I did. I'd spoken to vegans like Natalie before and it didn't make any impression on me. Gary Yourofsky's "Greatest Speech You'll Ever Hear" was the kick up the arse that I needed. Been vegan for 5 years, now, and wish it was far longer! :) We're not all swayed by niceties and grace!
@@weirdunclebob 100% Agreed. I knew many Natalie Portman type vegans for a long time, and never went vegan. Nothing wrong with her of course, but I'm just saying that many people are too complacent in their horrible choices, and need to have someone point it out. My experience is that most people want to be good in theory, but few are willing to actually make changes to themselves to be good, and if you have a vegan like Portman saying stuff like 'no judgment if you eat meat', then your average people like me who hadn't thought about the ethics of their choices will continue to exist in our ignorant little bubble thinking we're still good people as we murder and rape animals. It was watching Gary Yourofsky and Joey Carbstrong that made me actually question what I was doing and made me go vegan overnight because I could no longer claim I was against animal cruelty if I didn't.
the issue when I go vegan I end up eat a lot of carbs. Beans give me gas, Tofu ok but I get tired of it for a while. Then the next thing is feel very weak and I eat a lot more often because the low amount of vegan calories won't keep me go long for a whole day. So I end up on and off on vegan.
K L I understand that. I'm a vegetarian so it was not a hard switch for me, but for people who eat meat from childhood must consult a doctor or dietitian and educate themselves before making the switch. All the best man. Hope you remain healthy while keeping empathy towards animals.
Parth Patel idk dude, I grew up eating fat steaks, went vegan overnight, dropped all meat and dairy or practically anything from animals and had no negative effects. Obviously not everyone can do that, physically or mentally, but it is possible.
Nice to hear from a vegan who's not morally outraged at ANYONE raising or eating meat, regardless of the animal's treatment. Wholeheartedly agree with her on ethical treatment of animals. 90% of the meat my family eats is pasture-raised and slaughtered locally, but most people don't have that option. We need to push for it.
Pasture raised still ends in slaughter. Nothing ethical about killing an individual that WANT TO LIVE!!!!!! You're eating a plate of cruelty and THEN justifying it with "pature-raised". Do you think a pig is less terrified while be SLAUGHTERED because it was pasture raised??? FFS
She is not a true vegan because she is a breeder. Breeding humans is not logically consistent with veganism. She also endorsed companies that support animal testing and sells leather products (Dior).
look you baited two silly extremists to reply to your reasonable post. I love that Natalie follows her specific moral path and has no issue with how the rest of us follow ours. Would that I could aspire to live even a little like she does.
Even eating vegan or vegetarian some of the time reduces your carbon footprint. Militant vegans needs to understand that if you encourage people to do small steps then it will create a positive change instead of vilifying people who consume animal products.
Would the movie end with her pulling a lever to send a Washington Metro Red Line train packed with explosives (and the corpse of a masked figure) set to detonate roughly halfway between Farragut North and Metro Center?

Anjayl It is a common misconception that this response is grammatically incorrect because “good” is viewed as an adjective, and adjectives do not modify verbs. However, “I'm good” is as grammatically correct as responding “I'm well.
This was all over the news a while back. Here is one of the many links that covered the story. www.theguardian.com/film/2018/apr/20/natalie-portman-israel-genesis-prize
Amazing person! Turned vegetarian at 9! Went to Harvard. Thank you for your kind message. I didn't know Stephen tried it for a few months and his wife is continuing. Stephen, I am a big fan. Now I admire you.
If all vegans approached the problem like her, i'm damn sure they wouldn't be as hated by everyone. She doesn't vilify people for eating meat nor does she scream in their faces about it.
i agree, when other ppl do the opposite is dumb as hell , it doesnt even make sense to prosecute ppl for eating meat when humans have consumed it since the beginning of time, ppl who behave like as if its a sin are so annoying dont ya think?
But have you actually encountered vegans screaming in your face? People say this kind of thing about me a lot - that I'm one of the "rare" vegans who isn't a jerk about it, but I've never seen or met these mean vegans who are supposed to be the majority. I feel like this might be a myth? Or if they do exist, then maybe some confirmation bias happens, so that even if they're very very rare, the stereotype is confirmed. But I also notice that as soon as people find out I'm vegan, (usually if we're eating together and they notice what I order) if they're not, they seem to feel the need to immediately defend their own eating choices, like my just being vegetarian near them is a challenge laid down. So maybe it's more about self consciousness or fears of judgement, rather than anything we're actually doing.
i have a friend who is a vegetarian she guilts trips me each time i eat meat hehehe in a none aggressive way, nonetheless i think its a minority thats usually depicted on social media and tv, its the press's fault for that, there is nothing wrong with your diet choices as long as there is respect between ppl it shouldn't matter or seen as a challenge, you need to surround yourself with people who accept u for u :)
Most vegans actually aren't the way they're painted. It's just that meat eaters tend to be very sensitive to this one particular issue, much moreso than other issues. Question something that they do or believe, and you might not get much of a reaction at all, but just tell them you had a veggie burger for lunch and prepare for "are you judging me!?". It really is sometimes that much of an extreme caricature. I never say a word about it to people I know, literally, nothing, ever, but I regularly get "guess what I had for lunch, pot roast with bacon on top" or something similar. I ignore it as if I didn't hear it. I get that people need to compensate for actions they believe are wrong, so I just keep my mouth shut and occasionally roll my eyes. Outside of comment threads, I never hear vegans say a word about it.
Interesting to hear. Did this interview help you consider to stop eating animal at all then? Or do you like her approach because you can continue with your behaviours without considering change? Do you think you’ll watch the movie?
that's ironic, considering how the left wants to strip the whole population of every constitutional right possible with their constant attacks on free speech and 2nd amendment, while demanding for everyone to be taxed into oblivion.
MrG0TH1ER Exaggerations, not lies. Ms. Portman is exaggerating, too. The left do a lot of censoring in colleges, of opinions they disagree with. Trigger warnings, etc: they've earned the term "Snowflake".
Augustus You got that the wrong way around. They only want to tax the really rich, you know those trump buddies who profited most from Trumps tax cuts.
I agree big changes need to be made. See "Kale vs. Cow" by a nutritionist. About how we can reduce carbon, improve soil and the environment, improve human nutrition, reduce health care costs, and greatly improve animal welfare.
I like her message much better than militant veganism. I don't have issues with eating meat, but I am very very opposed to the Factory Farming conditions. I was lucky to grow up in a rural farming community here in Canada, so I saw many farmers who do it right, and I hate to see them vilified and lumped in with Corporate Factory Farms.
sn12 It's delicious. And I don't see anyone complaining about animals eating other animals. Humans are just as much animals as any other species. It's the circle of life.
Just love her..not only is she a very talented actress, but also very sweet, intelligent and down to earth.. she has always reminded me of myself in certain ways..With her demeanor )
As a long-time vegetarian Nathalie, the whole 'what if carrots had feelings, Natalie?!' hit very close to home. I also subscribe to not judging others for what they eat! All I hope is for people to be a little more conscious about what they eat and where it came from, and try to make choices that are better for the world when they can.
Nathalie Bank They say plants have feelings too. What about that thing where they respond when sung to? Don't wantonly destroy any life, just take what you need and be grateful.
hey @@cockeyedoptimista plants don't have feelings. they don't have a parasympathetic or sympathetic nervous system. plants are very interesting and you can find lots of quick articles on them. they don't have awareness like we do. they have a dna blueprint that they follow. and they are much more than that---plants and animals evolve side by side. for example, trees and birds evolve side by side. it is the singing of the birds that opens the pores on trees to begin photosynthesis. without birds, there would be no trees. its not that they enjoy music, its that they are hardwired to respond to bird songs. there are plant communicator devices in the world now and I have used those and learned a lot. plants themselves actually sing when their frequencies are transmitted to notes. once the plant is "aware" the song that is being sung is its own, it sings louder and sometimes changes its tune. you can look those up. vegetables like carrots have no feelings but they do wish to preserve their life based on biological data. they admit a toxin to certain species of animals and to human beings which essentially says "don't eat me". that is why many vegetables are slightly toxic until cooked or steamed. IT is not a feeling of not wanting to die. it is life protecting itself. a carrot doesn't feel pain when bit in to. Also, many plants are like this: toxic to some species and not to others. a particular berry may actually reach out to be noticed in nature by its evolutionary partner--- say a bear. the berry and the bear are dependendent on one another. the berry is non toxic to the bear and the bear does the berry a service of after eating it, the excrement contains the seeds which fertilizes and plants more of those berry plants in the perfect range and environment for it. If you are concerned about causing suffering (good job) then you can enjoy a fruit diet. wheat and corn and fruits like tomatos and peaches etc. these are all very high sugar foods but the plant produces these fruits and actually wants beings to take and eat them. if not they fall to the ground and rot for insects. it hurts the plant not to produce fruit. a carrot being a whole being unto itself--- of course it protects its life. it doesn't want to be eaten. it wants to live. as we all do. but its not from an emotional perspective like we humans and animals have. it is purely energetic based on dna. peace and love
@@janeseamore1370 Quote from an article: Plants behave in all sorts of ways and react to many different types of stimuli. Some people believe that plants grow better when spoken to or when music is played nearby. ... Plants don't have brains or central nervous systems like humans; therefore, they can't have emotions or reasoning capabilities . They are, however, sentient life forms and they do have "tropic" and "nastic" responses to stimuli. Plants can't vocalize or flee from danger, so they must rely on other ways to thrive and to protect themselves when threatened. They can choose which direction to grow, for example, and can defend themselves and aid pollination by moving their leaves, petals, and stamens. Plants also produce both attractive and defensive messenger chemicals called pheromones, much like humans, animals, and insects. Etc, etc. I finally read your whole comment; pretty interesting. I'm not going to eat only fruit, sorry. I was just saying, as you did, that plants try to preserve their own lives like other living beings. Interesting differentiation between carrots and things that are produced like seeds, nuts and fruits. Does that mean we should not eat roots? Whatever. Anyhow I'm not an idiot, I know that plants don't have nervous systems and can't feel pain. There were those studies, though. Oh well, bye. Oh, also I don't know what you're talking about regarding the "frequencies" of plants. I'm not aware of them sending out any kind of vibrations, be it sound or light, etc. Also I never heard that about birds opening up the pores in plants and starting photosynthesis, I'll have to check that out. Interdependence: yes, that's the thing. I know animals poop seeds out, by the way; also carry them on their fur, etc. Peace and love to you too. Nice to hear.
Everyone that can should own a home with enough space to learn about growing their own food, and raising chickens or ducks for their eggs and find out how even the creatures with the smallest of brains have feelings and emotions and then reconsider their stance on 2nd and 3rd trimester abortions and life in general.
lol um it actually is just you. Objectively speaking "Black Swan" is not only one of the best horror films ever written but it is actually one of the greatest films ever made. If you re-watch with the craft of film making in mind you will realize It's goddamn near perfect.
You do realize that 'free range' chickens have the option of roaming outside of their pens, but because the food is inside, they never actually leave. And 'borrow' eggs'? YOu give them back after you poop them out? BTW, I've been to a slaughterhouse. And I still love steak.

The WAY “This is a free country” “Maybe the last days of” Aged wowza ...
She predicted 2020
I eat meat and I 100% agree with what she is talking about. Our current system is not sustainable nor is it humane.
I also eat meat, I agree with most of what she says, just don't like the title of her show "eating meat" makes it look wrong right in te cover.
Find local farms that practice humane ways of raising livestock. We can help with our wallets and try not to buy meat if we don’t know the source. Of course it’s not that easy, but the more the public demand the things, the sooner it can happen. Also reducing your meat intake and finding alternative sources of protein will help too. I know it won’t be easy, but I am willing to do my part as a meat eater.
C J also you can reduce meat intake! You don’t have to become vegan or vegetarian, but if you have meat in every meal every day, that’s 21 meals each week with meat in it. What if we reduce that to 15 meals? 10 meals? If everyone reduced their intake by half I think it would help a lot !
TheSilentMONARCHY I've vegan, and I agree that it doesn't have to be all or nothing. It's difficult to commit to eating zero animal products and to demand that of everyone is unrealistic. Eating local helps too - look into co-ops and shares in CSAs in your area to support independent farmers!
Consider alternate protein sources, support grass-fed livestock sources and encourage up-and-coming lab meat.
I appreciate her not-judging approach. Regardless of the diet, one thing we can all do or start doing today is to waste less food.
Not judging LOL- she started out calling an old friend a super villain...
Not judgmental? She goes on to describe how future generations will look on us in shame and disappointment! 🤨
@Jason Q She wasn't judgemental, she is just stating facts. Humans will have to change their behaviour in order to survive. If future generations won't think and behave differently - there won't be no future generations
lalala she was being judgmental. I know, because I’m judgmental and I agree with her. 😁 I still eat meat, but I’m all for change. We consume what the industry provides. If vegan burgers were the only burgers available, that’s what people would eat. It’s like electric cars. Great. I’ll take one. Oh...there are none. So, we’ll have to be patient.
Jason Q Ah, sorry. I thought you were being defensive. I guess I've met too many people in real life who'll just go crazy if someone states they're vegetarian/vegan. I understand your point but I think, as she states, we consumers too can change a lot. You already see that change in supply everywhere you go. Industry is profit based - it won't change until we change. :)
If you go look for the Conan interview from 1994 when she was 13 she tells a story about going to France while filming The Professional and how she didn't like the food because she's a vegetarian. She's consistent!
Love her but I found it inconsistent that she passed judgement on Kushner for his political views.
@@rohin614 How is that inconsistent?
@@MyLalala9 she said in the interview she doesn’t pass judgement when talking about meat eaters. Although it seems she not judges Jared for his political career
@@rohin614 There's a difference between a personal dietary choice and a position in government that he got through nepotism that he then used to further his own interests. Not equal in the slightest. If you make a series of political decisions in your "career" you will be judged. That's not a personal choice, it affects millions.
@@MyLalala9 i think it’s wise to look to friends/family first while searching for someone to be your advisor. Secondly the things he did benefited the interests of the masses(which is his job) and yes , himself. Lastly I agree he will be judged as we all are and should be but just find it funny she doesn’t judge people for their diet but does for politics. And your diet choices affect more than just yourself, for example her diet choices have definitely impacted many people
I'm watching this clip during the quarantine and she says "the last days of" which hit differently...
I was thinking the same!
she knows
Oh yes its just the beginning
She clearly saw the signs
Until Joe Hiden gets into office
Jared's daddy paid 2.5 million to get him into Harvard because Jared is a lazy fool. Here's a high school administrator commenting on his acceptance - "There was no way anybody in the administrative office of the school thought he would on the merits get into Harvard. His GPA did not warrant it, his SAT scores did not warrant it. We thought for sure, there was no way this was going to happen. Then, lo and behold, Jared was accepted. It was a little bit disappointing because there were at the time other kids we thought should really get in on the merits, and they did not."
Failing upwards.
ozayevable Yeah, but the fact there were kids who deserved it much more is the point.
M M "get it on their merits" will never be the way Ivy admissions run, thanks ro both legacies and affirmative action
Only a subset of Harvard students gets chosen on merits.
The rest is done via money, sports or racial diversity programs.
Marcel Diezasch do you work for the Harvard admissions office? No? Then your know-nothing statement basically carries no water. You cant quantify your statement with facts, you're basing it off of a gut reaction. Did Jared get in off of his father's dollar? YES! How do we quantify that? His test scores, grades, and SATs and 2.5 million dollars. How do you quantify your claim? Oh? It's based off of nothing? How many black people and Indian people deserved to be at Harvard? How many didnt? Give me that number and I'll happily agree with you. But until then, you're making baseless assumptions.
I mean... she's a too perfect human being (beauty+intelligence+attitude+talent).

Stephen Colbert is a great host 👏🏻 Respectful and intelligent. I like that closing statement “Once we treat animals better, maybe we will treat each other better”
Nah he’s a complete moron. & so are you
@S.Y. Exactly!!!!!!
Meanwhile, Trump has been busy teaching his disciples how to treat their fellow Americans like SHIT.
Colbert is a dull pajama boy. No that Trump is going away, little Stevie will be very nervous as he has no talent except to ridicule the Trumpster.
From what I've seen, that depends on the individual and their biases...
She is just such a natural in everything, so classy, and what a great actress.
This was expert interviewing skills by Colbert. He kept the focus on his guest and was able to keep the conversation flowing forward while setting her up for banter. She even looked to be a little shy at first but he handled it masterfully. He managed to draw details from her naturally and was very engaged throughout. 5/7
Tewfeek ur overanalyzing
is that audio 5 video 7, or does your rating system only go up to 7
Truly. You can really tell when he likes someone, he goes back to being like a normal guy who's kind of in awe--and who wouldn't be. I've had a crush on Portman since she was in the Professional and Beautiful girls. Such an amazing presence.
Dave S 5/7 is a perfect score ;-)
(it's a meme)
He missed the chance when talking about Jared being a supervillian to ask her about what it was likely being married to Darth Vader.
3:03 Natalie Portman missed an opportunity to reprise that line: "So this is how Liberty dies; with thunderous applause."
Yes!!!
@Josue2018 Trumpdump is turning into quite the little dictator though, he doesn't want to answer to Congress. He thinks he's above our laws. How elitist of him, how dare we question his corruption? We peasants.
@Josue2018 Do we though? It seems like Congressional and Senate Republicans are pretty much saying the President can do whatever he wants without fear of consequence. That means we live in a dictatorship, not a free country. Maybe WAKE THE FUCK UP, PERHAPS?
@Josue2018 I live in Latin America, what's the problem u idiot?
Josue2018 this is dumb, is a stupid believe that is imposed to americans to say latin america is not free or that is not free enough as the United States.
In Fact I dare to say we have more freedom that you.
It’s illegal to buy guns and do shootings in the schools and the we dont believe too much in that consummerism trash that you vanerate as if it were freedom.
You are as much as us latin americans victims of this consumerist society whom the governemment of United States controls in al over the world.

"Say what you want! It's a free country!" sez Colbert, wisely. Natalie ripostes, "Yes, the last days..." That's how she stole me heart in "Beautiful Girls" She speaks truth to Glower!
Oh, my God! This woman is amazing!
How great a line was that? “To be more conscience would be a really good thing.”
Natalie Portman is a gem. I love her for her moral stance. kindness is the best characteristic a person can have. Politically savvy too.
Natalie Portman is beautiful inside and out. She's intelligent and compassionate too.
Sure, because it is compassionate to shun a fellow American and a fellow Jew because of their political Party. XD It is Hypocrisy and Virtue-Signaling!
I love how she doesn't say "don't eat meat", but she does still put emphasis on the tragedy of factory farming, this is the voice we need
@Daniel Callahan Nobody was talking about Roman Polanski. The comment was simply about somebody promoting more responsible and sustainable consumption of meat that could be less cruel to the animals and less harmful to the environment. It seems that you are the SHEEP who can't see past your indoctrinated hatred of "liberals" to get that message. Sad.
"Baaaaa baa"
(translation for those non-sheep folks out there, that is me telling him to "go fuck himself", in his native Ungulate language)
tiredlocke you're great lol
She seems like a compassionate person, very charming and intelligent!
Carrots have "peelings" not feelings...lol.
She is incredibly classy while talking about two very uncomfortable topics. It would be very disheartening to see an old friend either transform into or reveal himself as a monster. And talking about veganism without being judgemental is difficult because ir is a moral issue where she disagrees with the majority of people in the world. But she walks that fine line with grace. Good for her.
It is not classy to call somebody that you once called friend a monster. And just why or how did Kushner transform or reveal himself to be a monster? Oh, wait, I know. He's Donald Trumps's son-in-law and works in his administration. That's enough, isn't it? Also, If they wanted to talk about former bad students who went far in politics, why not mention Obama and Kerry? Oh, wait, I know this one, too. They're Democrats.
I know, maybe it has to do something ( or everything) with her degree?
A monster? Really? He's a republican not fucking pennywise.
She said supervillain, not monster.
@@davesimental3571 It is right there in the comment. "It would be very disheartening to see an old friend either transform into or reveal himself as a monster."
Personally I think celebrities should stay out of politics, most of them haven't had the education, or acquired the knowledge to be able to add anything of any value.
She makes a great point about how people in general should try to be at least a little more conscious about what they eat and try to replace, say, one or two meals per week with a vegan alternative.
Factory farming isn't sustainable but that doesn't mean everybody needs to become a vegan. It's not an all-or-nothing proposition. If millions of people just ate a little less meat and dairy, that itself would have a huge positive impact on the environment.
make that two days a week...Its really easy actually.
Oh I know, most of my meals are vegan, I was just trying to not be pushy :)
That is easy to say, but when poor people generally use meat as its source of protein because its a cheap source you eat meat.
acerhen somerhen luckily the cheapest foods are vegan . Rice beans lentils tofu seasonal fruit and veg. Can’t get more healthy and cheap than that
But bacon cheeseburgers taste good, tofu burgers not so much.

Genuinely laughed? It looked like she was forcing herself to laugh. @braceswhey, my friend from Huntsville, from college, Rebecca Miller.. she is doing things like that, and recently repaid in full her college loans, using some website.. I think it's All40.com or something.. Interesting thing is that she was able to do it working part time only, managing her classes along the way as well
Ichigo TRILLONATOR I think you think it’s genuine, like how most guys think women like them when the women are just being polite. Plus, she’s an actress.
@PaintedWOLF, you are just a jealous human being. She went to Harvard not Columbia, that was repeated several time during the interview btw, but you was too focused on hating. The regular folks you have in mind don’t go to Harvard. You have to be either super smart and academically gifted OR super rich and your daddy makes massive donations to get admitted to such universities. I suggest you go back to focus on “making America great again” lol
I love that she wants to bring awareness, but not judge those who choose to eat meat. I do what she said. two or three times a week I don't eat meat, but then, I do love my veggies and pasta.
Love this lady. Very intelligent and witty. Please have her on again soon.
So this is how good it feels to watch an interview with two highly intelligent, Harvard going individuals. I can only hope I had their intelligence. So much chemistry. Stephen Colbert should have her more on the show!
He did have her... he is Hamill's errr... Luke's father. Hehehehe... He came back through a wormhole. (waves hand horizontally) "These are not the DNA tests you are looking for."
Such a perfect time to broadcast this so widely. Thank you Stephen and Natalie.
She is sooooo sweet.
We are a perfect match. That is why she should hit me up on psychobf@gmail.com.
Very attractive too!
Natalie is such a beautiful woman. Star Wars was lucky.
She is sooooo dumb!!!!
She went to harvard for what??? So some explain that dumb woman a lot of people depend on that industry and I am totally against beef and pork because of the methane and pigs pollute the water. But apart from that I cannot do without chicken and fish I think they are fine, when eaten in moderation. Tell that dumb woman every one has his own choice.
I enjoyed when mila kunis went down on her.
I lost about 20 pounds by going vegetarian. I didn’t even want to loose wait. I can highly recommend to do that lifestyle. It’s been 23 years now.
Dale McComb very true. If we didn’t kill animals for our consumption (food, leather for shoes, clothing, etc) this planet would be over run in a heartbeat.

She seem not loose like she is on other talk shows or SNL. Her other side is much more comedic, but she is lovely as always.
Noplay I had the feeling she was quite nervous - probably about the whole vegetarian/vegan bit. People can be super super sensitive about that. I think Colbert handled it really well by giving her the opportunity to explain her view instead of simply making fun of her or being defensive

She's a really nice person and a fine actress. Loved her in "The Professional".
I find her calling Jared Kushner a supervillain so offensive!
He's a minion at best!
Absolute scum is an absolute claim and only the Sith and/or conservatives speak in absolutes.
She has too much charm and self awareness then to judge as the aforementioned do with absolute hate. Say what you want about Kushner but at the end of the day I bet he cares about something you care about but you will never know, the problem with our culture is that the vitriol for ratings news media has taught us to hate those we disagree with instead of seeking what we have in common, hate is easier and more contagious then understanding and that is why I believe our screen faceted society is probably doomed.
He's just Trump's minion
She didn't mean supervillain as in he's a smart one but rather very evil
Short-term smart...long-term stupid.

The carrot interrogation was a bit much.
1:52 - the most contagious laugh!
this is how an intelligent woman approaches the vegan thing, she doesn't go around aggressively and condescendingly telling people how evil and bad meats are which often trigger backlashes from the other side.
DDMM DM I'm wouldn't be so sure about that. It does create a lot of backlash, but at the same time, the message gets out there. The theory behind "violent" protests like that is that any publicity is good publicity. I don't necessarily agree with that, but I also wouldn't dismiss it completely. A lot of civil rights movements in the past were very in your face and it did work after all.
They are still telling you the truth ! Too bad it doesn’t always come in the package that makes you feel good . Try taking some of that great advise , because it will benefit you and the planet .
I do agree with their concerns about animal being badly treated in the factories but a lot of the things they said such as vegan is the healthiest or meat is evil, it will kill you...etc are not so accurate. I am not saying that meat is superior, reality is just not that simple but some vegan people just think they know the whole scientific truth but in actuality, the contrary is true. Many of them simply don't know enough "real" science to grasp the whole picture.
I am absolutely ok with most vegan people, just those who go around "educating" people condescendingly are pretty annoying indeed.
My sister should learn that skill.
PianoShow It’s far easier to change a person’s behavior by being polite and nice. Screaming at people and cursing them out will not endear anybody to a cause.
Yes: the problem is factory farming! Regardless of what you eat, we should all be able to agree that the animals who are consumed, or used for what they produce, shouldn't have to suffer in order to serve humans. You don't have to think they're smart or cute; you just need to acknowledge that they can feel pain and fear, and that they don't deserve that torture. And if someone can't even be met on that level, well, is there really any point in bringing up the impact factory farming has on the overall health of humans and the Earth?
It doesn't make sense to try to convert people to veganism or vegetarianism. It's futile to even consider. But the way food is produced is something that needs to change and can change.
yes well said!
NuthinMuffins yep I agree for the most part, personally I think meat grown from meat cells seems to be the most ethical and environmental friendly way to produce meat, never tryed only becouse it's new and I'm yet to see it for sale at my supermarket, but yer I think that is the way forward
99% is pure cruelty tho. So, what are you going to do about that?
NuthinMuffins even the biggest meat eater does not like conditions from factory farming.
THIS! Humans are omnivores, and just because we have to ability to consciously decide not to eat something doesn't mean we have to. But what we do have to do is be humane when we play god to these animals.
animals hunting in the wild don't torture their food before eating it and neither should we.
it's not about giving up something, it's about changing the way to get it.
SoTalented, intelligent, and beautiful! A principled person with a great heart! Her performance in Black Swan is as good as it gets!
I love how she just accepts everyone no matter what they decide when it comes to their diets... she doesnt judge people for eating animals because its their choice, not hers, and shes not preaching about it either...
she is just a vegan and tries to explain why she is one, not why others should be. If only all vegans were like her
If you're a vegan you SHOULD judge people for their diets, just like we judge people who are sexist or racist. If you choose to be sexist or racist, your "choice" has a victim that you're ignoring and therefore you're making the world a worse place. It should not be tolerated. Why should we respect someone's "choice" if they choose the cruel option? That's not a choice, that's a violation.
If all vegans were like her, there'd be far less vegans in the world! Many people need a good, sharp kick up the arse to wake up like I did. I'd spoken to vegans like Natalie before and it didn't make any impression on me. Gary Yourofsky's "Greatest Speech You'll Ever Hear" was the kick up the arse that I needed. Been vegan for 5 years, now, and wish it was far longer! :) We're not all swayed by niceties and grace!
Agreed with you until the last sentence. It reeks of "She's one of the good ones" condescension.
@@weirdunclebob 100% Agreed. I knew many Natalie Portman type vegans for a long time, and never went vegan. Nothing wrong with her of course, but I'm just saying that many people are too complacent in their horrible choices, and need to have someone point it out. My experience is that most people want to be good in theory, but few are willing to actually make changes to themselves to be good, and if you have a vegan like Portman saying stuff like 'no judgment if you eat meat', then your average people like me who hadn't thought about the ethics of their choices will continue to exist in our ignorant little bubble thinking we're still good people as we murder and rape animals. It was watching Gary Yourofsky and Joey Carbstrong that made me actually question what I was doing and made me go vegan overnight because I could no longer claim I was against animal cruelty if I didn't.
yeah... but she seems to judge people for their "politics"... especially of the Trump supporters
Nicely done. No judging, just empathy for the animals. Go vegan 👍
An act of violence against nature should be judged as severely as that against society or another person. - Dr.Michael W.Fox
the issue when I go vegan I end up eat a lot of carbs. Beans give me gas, Tofu ok but I get tired of it for a while. Then the next thing is feel very weak and I eat a lot more often because the low amount of vegan calories won't keep me go long for a whole day. So I end up on and off on vegan.
K L I understand that. I'm a vegetarian so it was not a hard switch for me, but for people who eat meat from childhood must consult a doctor or dietitian and educate themselves before making the switch. All the best man. Hope you remain healthy while keeping empathy towards animals.
Parth Patel idk dude, I grew up eating fat steaks, went vegan overnight, dropped all meat and dairy or practically anything from animals and had no negative effects. Obviously not everyone can do that, physically or mentally, but it is possible.
blase correa good for you. All the best 👍
Nice to hear from a vegan who's not morally outraged at ANYONE raising or eating meat, regardless of the animal's treatment. Wholeheartedly agree with her on ethical treatment of animals. 90% of the meat my family eats is pasture-raised and slaughtered locally, but most people don't have that option. We need to push for it.
Pasture raised still ends in slaughter. Nothing ethical about killing an individual that WANT TO LIVE!!!!!! You're eating a plate of cruelty and THEN justifying it with "pature-raised". Do you think a pig is less terrified while be SLAUGHTERED because it was pasture raised??? FFS
She is not a true vegan because she is a breeder. Breeding humans is not logically consistent with veganism. She also endorsed companies that support animal testing and sells leather products (Dior).
look you baited two silly extremists to reply to your reasonable post. I love that Natalie follows her specific moral path and has no issue with how the rest of us follow ours. Would that I could aspire to live even a little like she does.
Even eating vegan or vegetarian some of the time reduces your carbon footprint. Militant vegans needs to understand that if you encourage people to do small steps then it will create a positive change instead of vilifying people who consume animal products.

If all vegans approached the problem like her, i'm damn sure they wouldn't be as hated by everyone. She doesn't vilify people for eating meat nor does she scream in their faces about it.
i agree, when other ppl do the opposite is dumb as hell , it doesnt even make sense to prosecute ppl for eating meat when humans have consumed it since the beginning of time, ppl who behave like as if its a sin are so annoying dont ya think?
But have you actually encountered vegans screaming in your face? People say this kind of thing about me a lot - that I'm one of the "rare" vegans who isn't a jerk about it, but I've never seen or met these mean vegans who are supposed to be the majority. I feel like this might be a myth? Or if they do exist, then maybe some confirmation bias happens, so that even if they're very very rare, the stereotype is confirmed. But I also notice that as soon as people find out I'm vegan, (usually if we're eating together and they notice what I order) if they're not, they seem to feel the need to immediately defend their own eating choices, like my just being vegetarian near them is a challenge laid down. So maybe it's more about self consciousness or fears of judgement, rather than anything we're actually doing.
i have a friend who is a vegetarian she guilts trips me each time i eat meat hehehe in a none aggressive way, nonetheless i think its a minority thats usually depicted on social media and tv, its the press's fault for that, there is nothing wrong with your diet choices as long as there is respect between ppl it shouldn't matter or seen as a challenge, you need to surround yourself with people who accept u for u :)
Most vegans actually aren't the way they're painted. It's just that meat eaters tend to be very sensitive to this one particular issue, much moreso than other issues. Question something that they do or believe, and you might not get much of a reaction at all, but just tell them you had a veggie burger for lunch and prepare for "are you judging me!?". It really is sometimes that much of an extreme caricature. I never say a word about it to people I know, literally, nothing, ever, but I regularly get "guess what I had for lunch, pot roast with bacon on top" or something similar. I ignore it as if I didn't hear it. I get that people need to compensate for actions they believe are wrong, so I just keep my mouth shut and occasionally roll my eyes. Outside of comment threads, I never hear vegans say a word about it.
Interesting to hear. Did this interview help you consider to stop eating animal at all then? Or do you like her approach because you can continue with your behaviours without considering change?
Do you think you’ll watch the movie?
2:27 man that was such a good dig at O'Reilly!!! I just about pissed myself 😂😂😂
You can hear the audience react when Natalie described Jared Kushner as a super-villain (3:09). That was a mic drop moment.
Thats wonderful and nicely presented, thoughtful and promising... educative )

@@gypsybandit7373 Trump troll again.
that's ironic, considering how the left wants to strip the whole population of every constitutional right possible with their constant attacks on free speech and 2nd amendment, while demanding for everyone to be taxed into oblivion.
MrG0TH1ER Exaggerations, not lies. Ms. Portman is exaggerating, too. The left do a lot of censoring in colleges, of opinions they disagree with. Trigger warnings, etc: they've earned the term "Snowflake".
Augustus You got that the wrong way around.
They only want to tax the really rich, you know those trump buddies who profited most from Trumps tax cuts.
She is so pretty.
KT Bon - Yes, she has that classic beauty of the movie stars of the glamour days.
"what will I say about it on TV?" and then she basically didn't expand. Class.
He truly is happy about her Birthday and that genuinely makes me smile because these are two of my favorite things.
I agree big changes need to be made. See "Kale vs. Cow" by a nutritionist. About how we can reduce carbon, improve soil and the environment, improve human nutrition, reduce health care costs, and greatly improve animal welfare.
She's on point with the animal thing.
Beautiful, witty, classy, and intelligent. Young ladies please take note that this is real beauty
Such a charmed life she's had. Too proper and kind.
Natalie Portman is this generations Audrey Hepburn.
Nope

Haven't heard Natalie sing
She's a pretty good rapper tho
fakeItRight I was thinking that so maybe it was just how she was styled in this interview?
No
I like her message much better than militant veganism. I don't have issues with eating meat, but I am very very opposed to the Factory Farming conditions. I was lucky to grow up in a rural farming community here in Canada, so I saw many farmers who do it right, and I hate to see them vilified and lumped in with Corporate Factory Farms.
The way animals are raised or treated is not the only concern of some of those who decided to stop eating them :)
As an American I will get stoned for say g this but Canadians have us beat on looks health almost everything
Cecelia M it doesn't matter how they were raised how can one justify the selfish killing of an animal who doesn't want to die???
sn12 It's delicious. And I don't see anyone complaining about animals eating other animals. Humans are just as much animals as any other species. It's the circle of life.

Just love her..not only is she a very talented actress, but also very sweet, intelligent and down to earth.. she has always reminded me of myself in certain ways..With her demeanor )

As a long-time vegetarian Nathalie, the whole 'what if carrots had feelings, Natalie?!' hit very close to home. I also subscribe to not judging others for what they eat! All I hope is for people to be a little more conscious about what they eat and where it came from, and try to make choices that are better for the world when they can.
Nathalie Bank They say plants have feelings too. What about that thing where they respond when sung to? Don't wantonly destroy any life, just take what you need and be grateful.
hey @@cockeyedoptimista plants don't have feelings. they don't have a parasympathetic or sympathetic nervous system. plants are very interesting and you can find lots of quick articles on them. they don't have awareness like we do. they have a dna blueprint that they follow. and they are much more than that---plants and animals evolve side by side. for example, trees and birds evolve side by side. it is the singing of the birds that opens the pores on trees to begin photosynthesis. without birds, there would be no trees. its not that they enjoy music, its that they are hardwired to respond to bird songs.
there are plant communicator devices in the world now and I have used those and learned a lot. plants themselves actually sing when their frequencies are transmitted to notes. once the plant is "aware" the song that is being sung is its own, it sings louder and sometimes changes its tune. you can look those up.
vegetables like carrots have no feelings but they do wish to preserve their life based on biological data. they admit a toxin to certain species of animals and to human beings which essentially says "don't eat me". that is why many vegetables are slightly toxic until cooked or steamed. IT is not a feeling of not wanting to die. it is life protecting itself. a carrot doesn't feel pain when bit in to.
Also, many plants are like this: toxic to some species and not to others. a particular berry may actually reach out to be noticed in nature by its evolutionary partner--- say a bear. the berry and the bear are dependendent on one another. the berry is non toxic to the bear and the bear does the berry a service of after eating it, the excrement contains the seeds which fertilizes and plants more of those berry plants in the perfect range and environment for it.
If you are concerned about causing suffering (good job) then you can enjoy a fruit diet. wheat and corn and fruits like tomatos and peaches etc. these are all very high sugar foods but the plant produces these fruits and actually wants beings to take and eat them. if not they fall to the ground and rot for insects. it hurts the plant not to produce fruit. a carrot being a whole being unto itself--- of course it protects its life. it doesn't want to be eaten. it wants to live. as we all do. but its not from an emotional perspective like we humans and animals have. it is purely energetic based on dna. peace and love
@@janeseamore1370 Quote from an article: Plants behave in all sorts of ways and react to many different types of stimuli. Some people believe that plants grow better when spoken to or when music is played nearby. ... Plants don't have brains or central nervous systems like humans; therefore, they can't have emotions or reasoning capabilities . They are, however, sentient life forms and they do have "tropic" and "nastic" responses to stimuli. Plants can't vocalize or flee from danger, so they must rely on other ways to thrive and to protect themselves when threatened. They can choose which direction to grow, for example, and can defend themselves and aid pollination by moving their leaves, petals, and stamens. Plants also produce both attractive and defensive messenger chemicals called pheromones, much like humans, animals, and insects.
Etc, etc. I finally read your whole comment; pretty interesting. I'm not going to eat only fruit, sorry. I was just saying, as you did, that plants try to preserve their own lives like other living beings. Interesting differentiation between carrots and things that are produced like seeds, nuts and fruits. Does that mean we should not eat roots? Whatever. Anyhow I'm not an idiot, I know that plants don't have nervous systems and can't feel pain. There were those studies, though. Oh well, bye.
Oh, also I don't know what you're talking about regarding the "frequencies" of plants. I'm not aware of them sending out any kind of vibrations, be it sound or light, etc. Also I never heard that about birds opening up the pores in plants and starting photosynthesis, I'll have to check that out. Interdependence: yes, that's the thing. I know animals poop seeds out, by the way; also carry them on their fur, etc. Peace and love to you too. Nice to hear.
Well said.
Everyone that can should own a home with enough space to learn about growing their own food, and raising chickens or ducks for their eggs and find out how even the creatures with the smallest of brains have feelings and emotions and then reconsider their stance on 2nd and 3rd trimester abortions and life in general.
Happy birthday Natalie, i love you x. Thank you for your hard work at helping the animals.
I love this woman. Thank youuuu for doing what you do for the world and all it’s creatures, Natalie.
My favourite actress, I love Leon, V For Vendetta and Black Swan.

If that is an original comment you are a legitimate genius.
hmm I didnt like Black Swan at all, but thats just me it seems haha
lol um it actually is just you. Objectively speaking "Black Swan" is not only one of the best horror films ever written but it is actually one of the greatest films ever made. If you re-watch with the craft of film making in mind you will realize It's goddamn near perfect.
CLOSER? No?
I have been in slaughterhouses . You don't eat meat any more after what you see . I need to live with my conscience . Feels good.
Eggs and almond milk only ... we can borrow eggs from chickens that roam freely on the farm
You do realize that 'free range' chickens have the option of roaming outside of their pens, but because the food is inside, they never actually leave.
And 'borrow' eggs'? YOu give them back after you poop them out?
BTW, I've been to a slaughterhouse. And I still love steak.
D.E.B. B Not the chickens I grew up with... they roamed freely on our farm eating worms, grains enjoying life with their chicks
We also had pigs, goats and cows for milk
