A simple hack. I’ve stopped using store bought soy milk for cooking or smoothies. Instead, I keep cooked whole soybeans in the fridge. 1/4 cup soybeans blended with 1 cup of water as a whole food substitute. Particularly great in bread!
Funny enough I do the same thing. I keep them in the fridge though cause I use them within 4 to 5 days. And if you want it a little creamier you just add more Beans or a few cashews/almonds.
If you consume those 2 products then you are responsible for killing more animals and destroying the entire environment and your own health, than what ethical people such as the Delany sisters who lived to age 104 and 109 would do by growing as much as their own omnivore foods on their own property and then canning the rest for the Winter.
I agree. Plant based meats can be helpful in transitioning to WFPB and if that’s as far as one gets, it’s better than where they were. I used them for that reason by now rarely indulge in them.
Humans have been modifying the genetics of plants and animals for not only centuries but for millennia. If life didn’t modify its genetics naturally, there literally would be no life on this planet. The fact that altering genetics can now be done in a lab instead of careful cross breeding is largely immaterial. The “GMO” hysteria is nothing more than hysteria. Problems? What problems?
Love the level of detail here! Whenever the question is "is X food healthy?". the follow up should be "compared to what?" Thanks for taking the time to address all the nuances!
I'm not as big a fan of Impossible Burger just because it's relatively high in saturated fat, but I do eat a fair amount of mock meats. They provide a way to increase your protein intake without adding as much calories as eating an extra serving of beans would, which can be good if you are doing weight training and body recomposition.
I had a Beyond Burger once and it was just as disgusting as the animal-based original I had already given up eating. Confirmed to me we should eats plants as near to the way they naturally are as possible. Give me rice & beans or potatoes & kale any day over that processed junk.
Yes me too ! Can’t eat food that is tryin to look or taste like meat 🤢 but they r good if it stops others eating meat but people need to realize even though they are vegan they are also a ultra processed food .

My husband tried to go vegetarian but he hates most veggies. Won't eat them and does not like the smell of them. I buy rotisserie chicken for him or make stuff like that for him. The best thing to do is take a small portion, for yourself or your family and freeze the rest for a another day or meal and remove the skin. Be sure to fill up on veggies first or fruit before eating it. You know it is okay to have a bad meal, desert or treat once in awhile. The next meal or snack, you do better by having your veggies and fruits. Do not treat a bad meal or snack as a bad day, it is just one meal or a moment. I had M&Ms yesterday because I was too lazy (also sick with a cold) to go downstairs to get my real dark chocolate. :) You got this!
Animal AG's effects on greenhouse gasses, in the USA at least, aren't as big an issue as they are made out to be. Yes, cattle in the USA are at 91 million, however, buffalo are down from 30 million to 420k. Another thing to consider is that, while global cow population is up, other ruminants are down. I already gave you the example of the buffalo. Another example, sadly, is the elephant. In Africa the elephant population has dropped from 26 million to 415k. While cattle numbers are up, unfortunately, every other ruminant's numbers are down. Another thing to consider is that, of the top 5 methane producing countries, only the USA and Brazil are part of the methane pledge.
Elephants are not ruminants. And if you subtract 420k, or even 30 million, from 91 million you still get a lot of cattle. Plus you have to add the use of fossil fuels to raise those cattle from fertilizers for fodder, to powering the farms for the production of that fodder and the farms to raise the cattle, to the transport to the slaughterhouse, etc.
I think (correct me if I'm wrong) that the methane concern comes from domestic cattle being fed grain as opposed to eating grass (like wild cattle would do). This causes them to have more trouble digesting, which in turn causes more methane.
Been eating nothing but meat for the past 5 months. Blood pressure resolved itself, triglycerides have plummeted, stopped snoring, no brain fog, lost 53 lbs., so tell me again why I shouldn't eat real meat?

This discussion is certainly skewed toward vegan/ vegetarian diet without providing any viable evidence that this is safe, or preferable for human nutrition. I for one will stick to an ancestral diet as best I can and will reject this plant based propaganda until such time as you can produce some evidence humans are actually evolved to live on such a limited diet.
@@pobrien864 most people don’t get enough vitamins on a standard diet. I get them the same way everybody else does. Take a multivitamin. I’ve always taken one no matter my diet. I think you’re looking for some strange dietary perfection. A vegan diet has been repeatedly proven to be healthier. I don’t think it’s perfect, but it’s better than eating McDonald’s every damn day.
I disagree - we have not evolved to eat a vegan diet, and we certainly have not gotten to this point in our evolution by supplementing our diet with processed supplements that have been proven to be far less bioavailable than those obtained from animal based sources that humans have relied on for thousands of years before the advent of agriculture. If it works for you that is fine, but I am in the process of reversing 50+ years of eating a “ healthy balanced” diet and the chronic health conditions that it causes.
Anyone else who hardly cares about not eating meat, yet watches this channel just out of idle curiosity about what he has to say but totally ignoring his advice?
Dr. Gregor, there is missing information in the WFPB world that needs addressing and unpacking. Plants provide the 8 essential amino acids and our body makes the 12 that constitutes the 20 in a complete protein chain. Animal products supply all 20 amino acids. So, does our body still make its 12, that would bring the number of amino acids to 32 (the 20 from the animal plus the Body’s 12.) for a single protein chain. Then what amino acid from the animal protein chain, creatinine for example, is helpful or hurting the human body. Does the body nullify the extra protein from the egg or cow, eliminate it harmlessly, or something more harmful to the Body. There is a complete absence of information/research on these important facts.
@@Magnulus76 Granted, excess “protein” is excreted or burned as fuel is a good “generality.” But, I believe “protein” here regards the 20 AA that the body uses or burns but not the extra 12 that comes to exist when humans eat “animal” protein having all 20 amino acids plus the 12 it makes to complete the 20 AA protein chain. Animals=20AA. Plants= 8 +12 AA so, does the body NOT make its 12 when animal protein is ingested containing all 20? I believe the answer with specifics will help us understand “why” animal foods are deleterious to the human body. And, maybe I need more education. But, the conundrum does exist and disease mortality compels us to answer this question with scientific specificity. Thanks for your consideration.
The 12 you mention (actually I believe it is 11) are included in the 20. In other words your body needs 20 but makes 11 of them itself, so you need to get the other 9 from diet.
For a long time I would alternate between Beyond Meat, Impossible Burger and beans and lentils. It was ok but I just can't drop the real meat intake. Must have real meat at least once a week. Eggs and Fish are on my menu too. Sugar and high carbs are probably worse for you than any other food.
I stopped buying sugar and oil, most things have sugar or oil or both in them already. Flexitarians like you are the fastest growing group and are making a huge difference, and for that I thank you. I'm a 10 year vegan b.t.w.
plant based meats are racism towards those who traditionally ate plant based diets but do not care much about burgers, sausages, cheeses, sliced breads etc such as indians from india ... why should we indians try burgers ... burgers do not make us salivate only dhals, rotis, rices, biryanis, pakodas, idlis, dosas put our salivary glands on overdrive ... do another study on salivary glands and you will find indians performing better when served their traditional foods because all those natural enzymes in saliva have a million years of history of darwinian evolution ... westerners just need learn easterners' cookery to go plant based ... you do not need beyond burgers
We are what we eat....... Are you a vegetable ? Are you gassey, skinny fat or just not feeling good? Put some animal protein and fats in your diet and you'll feel much better.....

The 12 you mention (actually I believe it is 11) are included in the 20. In other words your body needs 20 but makes 11 of them itself, so you need to get the other 9 from diet.
There are complete plant proteins. Or easy combos like rice and beans.
Or plant food is poison.
For a long time I would alternate between Beyond Meat, Impossible Burger and beans and lentils. It was ok but I just can't drop the real meat intake. Must have real meat at least once a week. Eggs and Fish are on my menu too. Sugar and high carbs are probably worse for you than any other food.
I stopped buying sugar and oil, most things have sugar or oil or both in them already. Flexitarians like you are the fastest growing group and are making a huge difference, and for that I thank you. I'm a 10 year vegan b.t.w.
Eat healthy every time ,& exercise, no cheating! Unless u ride a bicycle, & i do , y i stay skinny, hint hint , 💝🚴♀️
plant based meats are racism towards those who traditionally ate plant based diets but do not care much about burgers, sausages, cheeses, sliced breads etc such as indians from india ... why should we indians try burgers ... burgers do not make us salivate only dhals, rotis, rices, biryanis, pakodas, idlis, dosas put our salivary glands on overdrive ... do another study on salivary glands and you will find indians performing better when served their traditional foods because all those natural enzymes in saliva have a million years of history of darwinian evolution ... westerners just need learn easterners' cookery to go plant based ... you do not need beyond burgers
NO
We are what we eat....... Are you a vegetable ? Are you gassey, skinny fat or just not feeling good? Put some animal protein and fats in your diet and you'll feel much better.....
GTH!
No.
No
No
No was indeed the answer. Sadly he skirted saying "no." He instead couched it via "compared to what?"
so lame, stop making content based on how long the video is supposed to be, 7:00 minutes in still asking the same question as the title. scam
