As a black person i know what he means. Alot of people really are surprised when a black person says they’re vegan. I think because black people are associated with soul food which is probably the worst diet ever. Soul food is the result of the scrap meat and unwanted shit given to slaves.
Idk what you’re talking about or what country you live in but here in America black people are associated with soul food. Im speaking as a black american. Idk what you guys in the Europe, Africa, or Asia go through
They eat like 10 different animal products and then ask that stupid shit... There are thousands of plant foods (which are free of cholesterol, disease, blood, pus, feces...)
Literally been asked today, felt the need to go really preachy, decided I liked the friendship of this human and so I spent the following 1 hour describing alllll the food I can eat.
The best reply to "what if you were trapped on a deserted island " is " imagine if you lived in a country where you could easily go veagan". Oh wait a minute
Rebecca Crewdson I mean it's kinda true though, now all the plants are dying. I'm not saying it to be sarcastic or rude but I've asked that question before lol.
Rebecca Crewdson I've gotten this so many times from my friends (they're mostly joking) to the point where I just started to go with it and now I kinda play a character as an inside joke.
There really is a stereotype that all vegans are skinny white women (because a lot of the famous vegans are, and all the cook book writers are etc, which is an issue within veganism actually). But anyone can be vegan.
I'm vegan and what I find so annoying is when people are like "you're vegan?", and then try to START a fight with me about it smh. They're like "what's so good about veganism huh? Vegans suck. Why are you vegan that's stupid. Tell me one thing about veganism that's good", and I'm like "if you really want to have this conversation, sit down, cuz it's gonna take me about an hour now to really explain everything to you."
And when they keep pushing you and pushing you with dumb questions, they end up saying "ugh, vegans only talk about veganism". YOU AKSED AND MADE A BIG DEAL, ALL I SAID IS NO THANKS I DON'T WANT STEAK smh
CovaCata LOL so true. I'm the only vegan in my fam, and at the dinner table if any of my siblings ask me something like "why don't you eat dairy? Dairy isn't mean to the animals", then when I try to respond calmly and nicely, my parents are like "STOP TALKING ABOUT THAT AND STOP PREACHING", and I'm like "wtf.... he asked me. All I'm doing is answering, you should tell him not to ask in the first place."
I've never understood that, especially the perception of vegans and vegetarians as being weak. I'm not vegan, but I have a lot of respect for vegans and their commitment to staying true to their beliefs. I think it's really cool how creative the vegan community is when it comes to food. Plus I've met lots of vegans and the only time they mention it is when we're actually trying to decide what to eat or when we're having a related conversation.
Rouge Blott why would you be rude against a person saying i couldnt be a vegan, vegans are excacly like jehovas witness but jehovas witness are very nice even though you tell them you are not religious and they respect that and try to have a conversation and say have s good day and walks away, vegans are just incredible rude to everyone else that isnt vegan
This is coming from a meat eater, but I feel like meat eaters are just as obnoxious, or more obnoxious as vegans when vegans tell people that they are vegan. I've seen meat eaters be like wow thats so weird how do you do it your diet must be so restricted. Like meat eaters have a problem with judgy vegans, and then do the exact same thing to them back
I respect your view point. There can be annoying preachy people from both groups and I am glad that SOMEBODY understands this (coming from a vegetarian)
@I LOVE NUTMEG :] No. One is not better than the other. Both groups can eat healthy - just because someone eats meat doesn't mean they're unhealthy. If you insult and judge someone for their lifestyle, you don't deserve respect. Whether you're a meateater, vegetarian or vegan.
That's a total misconception! Both meat-eaters and meat-freers can be healthy or unhealthy, depending on what they eat. True, we vegans don't eat animals or animal products, but that leaves room for a lot of processed foods. I remember my cousin once told me she was going to try to eat healthier and asked me for advice. I felt like laughing. I looked at the cream cheese I had in my fridge a bit later and wondered what the hell was in it that made her and other meat-eaters think I eat so healthy (side note: I also enjoy French fries, potato chips, Oreos, and a whole bunch of other foods that aren't so healthy).
One time I was talking to my friend, *in private*, about how I was trying a vegan cream cheese and one of the agriculture teachers pops his head out of his office from across the classroom and says "What, are you vegan or something???" very aggressively. I got scared/didn't want him to start arguing me so I lied and said I was lactose intolerant and he was like "Oh, ok, good." So yes, I agree, both can be very obnoxious and annoying lol
the most annoying thing to me is that whenever I tell someone I'm vegan, it doesn't matter the context, they will usually become really defensive and try to justify their diet somehow, and then get mad when i try to defend myself 😒
I learned its best avoiding explaining yourself because from my past experiences i noticed they arent really interested in my answer they just urgently want to either feel better about themselves and just want to use whatever my answer for choosing vegan is to justify their position further - they are rarely 99% of time willing to see things from my point of view. So i think its just pointless talking because i dont enjoy empty-talk that doesnt serve any purpose.
Conor Shanahan first off, your grammar is at the level where no one can take you seriously, and second they aren't putting themself on a pedistle they are just mentioning that they don't eat meat or dairy
foxylee never met one who wasn't an absolute sanctimonious prick. I was a vegetarian and they looked down on me still. I can't be vegan or vegetarian for health reasons regardless of what I want to do. I got sick and had to start eating meat again. Both times.
Literal conversation I had: "Would you like (insert meat item)?" "No thank you." "It's good though! Why?" "I don't want one." "But it's delicious! How could you not want this?" "I just don't want one." *puts it on my plate* "just try it!" "I can't. I'm a vegan." "Oh my gosh! I hate how people are just won't stop talking about how they're vegan! Shut up already!" *initiate face palm*
How would the animals eat anything, it's a last chance survival situation where the desert island is rid of any food apart from the animal and yourself, but I don't recommend that you eat yourself.
The silly thing about the desert island question is that it's been proven time and time again when humans are stranded somewhere without a food source, they will always eat each other, yet that's not justification for cannibalism in your day to day life. Now, I eat meat, myself, I just find that question completely and utterly ridiculous.
I find this question hard to! as someone who does eat meat I probably wouldn't eat meat on a desert island because I don't have the skills, or even the ability to actually kill something myself. it's be easier mentally and physically to just eat some plants.
if ther are animals on desert islands then there will be plant sources of food... as the animals mostly eat plants and each other... i would slaughter an animal though if i needed to eat tha tbad fuck it, my life matters more than some animal. im vegetarian but ill do what i gotta to survive
What a stupid thing to say the reason why people would say someone was a phsyco if they killed a dog is because for centuries animals have been used for everything and we’ve kind of categorized them and pigs cows chickens have always been animals which we have eat but dogs have always been a domesticated species and always will be because they have been used for hunting so years later we don’t that any more and dogs have become a household pet which have been loved by someone so if someone kill them they’ll be pretty pissed and sad
@@sloppy_porridge People in China sometimes eat dog. Some people have pigs as pets. And why is it okay to kill millions of cows but not millions of cats. You are a perfect example of speciesism.
Non-Vegans: If you were stranded on a desert island, would you eat an animal? *If you had the choice to live without harming animals, would you do it?*
My favorite one is "But if you're vegan/vegetarian you're just eating the animals food so you don't REALLY care about them" like okay let me just eat air, rocks and water 🤷🏻♀️😂
@Kamakaze Don't take this the wrong way, but you shouldn't despise all vegans just because one caused something horrible. We do what we can to keep the fanatics quiet, but in the end, it's their choice what they say and do. It's rather unfair of you to judge thousands and thousands of people for the actions of one extremist. Her son's death was a tragedy and it's incredibly saddening to think about, but, logically, how does that fall on the rest of us?
@Kamakaze I understand how that could be difficult for you, but please remember that each individual is responsible for their own actions no matter what they profess. :)
Ive actually heard the "fish/animals live in water and you steal their home by drinking it" a lot. It makes me cringe to think that some people think this way.
My father used to tell people that he refused to drink water because fish pee in it, it was one of his more jokier reasons for only drinking alcohol...
top questions I get asked: "where do you get protein from?" "you're vegan, do you still eat seafood?" literally so annoying, people need to research lol
Sapurina so then we ourselves aren't judged by other just because we're vegan, so that all misconceptions and lies are cleared. And just to be more educated in general?
why don't you educate the people asking the question yourself? if someone asks you a question about your beliefs in a kind and earnest way then you should help them understand why you personally feel that way in a kind and earnest way. honestly if i wanted to go and "educate" myself on veganism i would find as many studies and articles saying it is awfully bad for your health and will kill you as i would studies and articles saying it is the best and only diet and you'll die if your aren't a vegan. sometimes it is nice to know how someone personally feels about something they are actually experiencing first hand rather than reading news and hearsay all over the internet
jasminejo2424 that's exactly what we try to do, except the problem is there's like this instant hate when people discover that you're vegan. You can find it in the comments, you can find it anywhere.
I've heard the theory of plant sentience, I am a biochem major at university, I get where people are coming from, but the argument is so full of fallacies (not to mention, even if plants were sentient they are not more so than animals) that THAT is what annoys me.
I agree , plants are not more sentient than animals. I've never really been a "plant person", no gardening for me, but watching that movie just gave me a new found respect for plants.
If it is true what you’re saying we would have died as a species long ago. Humans have been eating meat for the last 2.5 million years you clown. What are you anyway a doctor?, scientist?, I doubt it, you’re probably just a sheep that blindly eats the Bullshit that’s fed to you. (Sorry bean curd vegan bullshit) haha
@@Deadspawns Just because you'll die early from eating bacon doesn't eman the species will die out. Also it's been around for 1,500 years, not 2,500,000 that you made up so you're off by over 99%. Don't be accusing anyone else of being blind or spreading bullshit, what you just said is bullshit.
@@blazn0 True, though you've got to admit 1,500 is closer to 3,500 than 2,500,000 is. That being said the time span isn't relevant, we've had slavery, rape and murder much longer than that, it's not a basis for morality.
I hate when people automatically assume you're skinny and fit and you work out everyday and do yoga and take all these supplements etc etc... Like fuck no. You can be an unhealthy/lazy vegan (me).
honestly if i were stranded on a desert island like i'd definitely stay vegan like they expect me to all of the sudden be able to hunt??? nah catch me pickin some berries
Actually, she probably wouldn't. B12 is not produced by animals, it's produced by bacteria. The reason there's not much b12 in the food is that our food is too clean, and if she was stranded on a deserted island, she probably wouldn't eat food that was treated with pesticides (herbicides, insecticides,...), that was thoroughly washed, she would probably eat it as soon as she found it, and BAM, bacteria and b12 :)
Yeah ok because the calorie count is 'some' berries is definitely equivalent to any kind of meat you could find. Also you in civilization now so your lucky enough to actually have good vegan food with all of the nutrients you need. I'm pretty sure if you actually valued you life you would eat both.
Here are others, with the last one being a particular favourite of mine: - if you're a vegan you can't drive a car or use the computer -where do you get your iron? -but...but....B12!!!!! -what about breast milk? -So....You can't have oral sex, right?
"what do you eat then?" "can you eat this? can you eat that?" "what do you eat then?" "what do you eat then?" "are you a hippie?" "what do you eat then?" "i coudn't do it bc i wouldn't know what to cook" "I won't restrict myself" "the world is going to end anyway" "what do you eat then?" "what do you eat then?"
@Im Everywhere oof lol you havent met people who are vegan, but if veganism is a personality trait than I would understand that perspective. stay in drugs dont do school
it will never beat the people who say something like 'stop shoving it down my throat' or 'just shut up youre wrong' when someone says that it pisses me off so much
I'd say that one of the hardest things about being/going vegan is social pressure. That's it. There are umpteen dozen things you can get that are vegan, and the more local/seasonal and less processed(like oils, refined sugar+wheat, junkfood) that food is, the more you're eating a diet that is natural to humans and provides all the essentials AND helps the environment, humanity, nature and the planet out tremendously. Leafy Greens, Fruits and Legumes as main-staple, with Root Veggies, Rices and Fruit-Veggies as secondary essentials, with Grains, Pastas, Nuts, Alternative Animal Products and Dessert Treats if you desire as tertiary add-ons. Mmmmm. The biggest gripe I have is that if others are cooking things for me, they still use eggs, dairy, oils, refined sugars, meat broth. It's a bit annoying. I don't want to say anything, but I'd much rather that they cut that stuff out. It's a bit tricky to talk about because they don't understand how the foods they eat affect their body. Eating for pleasure is fine, but personally, I'd rather eat for pleasure with mind of consequences+empathy. It's difficult to speak up when you're immediately labeled and defended against.
Wheat isn't bad unless you have Celiac disease , and you mentioned pasta so I assume you ment gluten-free pasta, gluten-free products are more processed them wheat products.
I suddenly stumbled across this video again and noticed my comment got lots of likes & some comments I never received. @MyGuyWiFi - It's almost been a year since I went vegan. The comment I wrote was from my first month early transition period. I wasn't as confident about speaking up back then, but now I am. I worked at a local family oriental restauraunt that made free meals for me. Before I went vegan I ate whatever they cooked & anything my parents made too- but after going vegan I had troubles speaking up about this sudden diet change & didn't want to rock the boat. I gradually opened up about the change though. Today I still work there, but I don't really eat any food there anymore being so health conscious. It's not a great idea to educate a long-time oriental family who cooks and deep-fries traditional meat-based foods. But with these changing times they'll eventually have to add vegan items on their menu to keep up revenue. I have supported one co worker to go vegetarian though, which is a great seed for future potential ease into veganism to come. My family was originally very resistant and bewildered about my diet change, but now they're opening up & some are easing into the possibility of going vegetarian and vegan. For being vegan only 1 year, my presence has helped open up new doors to them. I try to encourage plant based choices when I can, but there's much to be done. @Emily Walker - I think I just meant highly refined/processed wheats. Though I myself find wheat makes me feel congested and heavier (as well as oil) so I avoid eating it anyways.
Technically she's right. It is a meat in the biological sense, but in cooking we use the term "poultry" to refer to 'meat' from birds. Just like how we don't call a pieces of sushi or cod meat, we call it fish. Meat is a term used for any land based animals that are not birds. So really, your mother was right. Chicken is poultry, which isn't the same as meat, when talking in culinary terms.
@@nickeynguyen3404 Your dismissive, arrogant, tone, is proof that you see yourself as superior, because you are a vegan. Why not try some humility? Why not admit that your way is not the only way? Cue the denials, and claims that vegans are angels. BORING!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! If vegans cannot handle people asking questions, let them keep their preaching, and judging, to themselves.
Every vegan once thought: I couldn't be a vegan 😂 I didn't eat pork and lamb because of religion, my dad has a disease called gout where he can't eat red meat or seafood, and chicken is kinda dry for my taste, like I'd rather eat a juicy fruit. That's how meat kinda got taken out of my life. I also have a tiny dairy intolerance, and dairy gives me cystic acne (I'm a teen :[ ), so I stay away from it. I hate the taste of eggs, so that's also not something I'd eat. That basically leaves me with a vegan diet. Once in a while, I'll eat something where I can't exactly taste the animal products, like zucchini pancakes that use butter or something. I stay away from animal products in my skincare and clothes because I feel like that disgusting to put on my body. I pretty much have slowly and accidentally turned myself kinda vegan. Yes it's a lot of prep in bulk and creativity, but It's actually cheaper and more simple. U also get to eat more without worrying that a little steak won't fill u up. It works for me 🤷🏼♀️
Masha Nikulina that's me girl! I'm not vegan but I eat mostly plant based food, and it's for health reasons :) I'm have big milk intolerance and meat just disgusts me. Every now and then I get a little milk in my system or egg from chocolate but it's very rarely.
Masha Nikulina I have the same situation as you. I was already a vegetarian since I was 8, I am lactose intolerant and get bad acne from dairy, and I think eggs are so gross. I think going vegan was one of the best decisions I’ve ever made
Imagine for all your life you have been doing something and not even consciously thinking about it. You wake up, do it. Go out, do it and return, do it. Everyone around you does it too and thinks nothing of it. Then one day you see someone living a lifestyle or even just saying something like, you know your behaviour may not be correct. At first you can kinda laugh it off and be reassured by other people in your surroundings that carry out said behaviour and are sure thats the way of the world. Now as life goes on and we meet more and more people and more and more of them are telling me that what i and my previous friends/family do is "wrong". The first thing we feel is defensive right i mean screw them, who are they? We may at this point decide to look into it more or just ignore it and carry on. If we ignore it and carry on we need a way to discredit those that disagree with us because as humans we like to be "doing whats right" in our minds. So we often suffer from cognitive dissonance and to correct this we target these people not their (potentially correct) ideas. If we choose to read up for ourself what we find is that to our horror we have been living a life that is non-sustainable, cruel, harmful to the planet and its people. To the point that its very clear this behaviour needs to stop. At this moment when the change is made everything is so clear and you see through the pretty packaging of our behaviours. You see through the "well everyone does it" (i mean why vote then?). You see though all of the excuses to maintain the status quo and its upsetting but also liberating. Then you turn to the ones you care about , that you consider "good people" and you try to show them what, you believe, is right. Then they call you pushy, stuck up, annoying, preachy etc.. In this i tried not to make it sound like im talking about veganism. What if it was slavery, war, whatever. In this situation what would you do?
Yes because veganism is exactly like slavery or war! You've sussed it out! Jordan for presidente. Please genocide all meat eaters for thinking differently to you oh fuhre- I mean, presidente?
Good post. Sorry people are too slow to understand your point. I could spend all day reading negative comments on vegan videos though, lots of morons out there
The most common ones are “I would be vegan but I love bacon to much” “You’re probably protein deficient” and “oh yeah my brothers best friends cousins dogs previous owner was vegan”
me:animal rights health environment love speciesism morals cruelty meat eater: BUT BBBBBBBBBBBBBBBBBBBBBBAAAAAAAAAACCCCCCOOOOONN IIIIISSSSSS TAAASTEH!!!!!
Even as someone who eats meat, bacon included, this annoys me. Bacon is just another type of meat. It's nothing special, amazing or magical, there are foods that taste better, foods that taste worse. Even if someone isn't ready or willing to give up meat, they should at least consider the value of an animal's life, and acknowledge that the food they're eating was a thinking, feeling creature capable of love and affection, and respect the fact that someone else might not want to contribute to ending lives. As for vegans being preachy, I've seen a lot more meat eaters talking about why people should eat meat than vegans telling meat eaters to stop eating meat.
“plants have feelings too” literally the amount of plants it takes to feed an animal for all its life to make a burger is very noticeably less than the plants it takes to have a vegan meal
B12 deficiency is not a vegan exclusive problem you know, it happens to everyone! Most vegans also tend to be slightly more conscious of nutrients, so a lot of us supplement, also a lot more vegan products are coming out already fortified with B12. I also hope you understand how we would have gotten B12 naturally in the past, and how this is not evidence at all that we should have to eat meat! A plant based diet is actually far more nutritious in every way than a standard omnivorous diet, which is why, contrary to what you have stated, vegans actually tend to live longer!
When my friends eat my vegan food they are like “this is really good” and then when they find out it’s vegan they say “eww that’s why it’s so disgusting”
So accurate. God the other day at work it got brought up that I was vegan and my manager, who I thought was my friend and is usually really nice, told me an array of nasty and downright mean things including her very strong opinion that veganism is stupid and cows are pointless animals that deserve to be slaughtered because all they do is eat and poop. I'm usually pretty good about taking shit like that, but coming from a "friend" I was genuinely upset about what she said. I don't attack her for eating meat and doing rodeo shit, so why is it acceptable for her to attack me? And people say vegans are preachy and extreme.
Yep! I don't push or enforce any of my beliefs of others, people eat, cook and use non-vegan things in front of me, the only freaking force I've had pushed onto me since being vegan, is non-vegans interviewing me as if they're in the right, veganism is wrong and I have done something incredibly wrong. It's like, you keep thinking that buddy but, you're just defending a guilty conscience!
I feel you! A friend of mine once told me that she "believes all cows are happy because they get food and a place to stay in" wtf......... yeah if they barely see sunlight and breathe in fresh air and roam freely they will still be happy because they have food and shelter??? and then it's okay to kill them too?? if you were that cow would you feel the same way? -_- we were in public but I wanted to yell or something lol
There are sooo many people who directly after you tell them you're vegan ask you questions like: "Oh so you also only use recycled paper? You must use green energy then? But aren't fruits shipped so far that..... etc" (just some simple examples). People get offended so easily and basically tell you that in order to justify being vegan you have to be perfect! Hey! I'm just a little human and I am doing one thing at a time and trying my best at it! I'd rather be vegan and do one good thing by being doing that than give up being vegan just because I can't be perfect :D Of course my ultimate plan is to get better in better at saving energy, water and resources in general!
Courtney Courteau Someone could reverse heart disease (has happend is proven fact), cancer. I lost 30 lbs. Some were off all meds. We would be able to feed starving kids with the grain we feed to our cows. I have more energy. Lessen green house gas emmisions. Reverse diametes. Meat is pointless you can get all vitamins from plants including b12, protein, vitamin b3. Save 1 animals life. Not support a business that illegally brings immigrants in from mexico overworks underpayes the immigrants get deported back (tyson chicken yes they make mcdonalds chicken mcnugggets). Save 1 animals life. Shall I countinue or do you get the point.
"If you were stranded on a deserted island..." I'm assuming if it's deserted there's probably going to be a lack of wildlife... And if there were animals, they're getting their food somewhere... That argument makes no sense.
@@chickennuggets1990 No, but if I had watched Bear Grylls then yes. Also, if you were in a developed country where you could easily choose to live by not hurting someone, would you do it? I don't think you will.
Just because an animal is eating something doesn’t mean it’s safe for humans. Those animals have adapted to eating that thing and you could make yourself very sick by trying to eat the same thing.
Boglenight What's incredibly idiotic is trying to think you have outsmarted millions of years of evolution. Eating meat is natural and healthy. Herbivores exist to be eaten by carnivores. Our purpose on this planet is to eat them.
ECURB511 You obviously know very little about zoology. Let me guess, you're a christian that doesn't care about facts and evidence but simply writes what they think is right without care for evidence?
Boglenight Do you mean the people in the video sound idiotic? Or the people asking the question? Because I agree that the question was idiotic, but not the people in the video.
When they say that your preachy even though they come to you and try to pick up a argument where if you defend yourself in any way shape or form it "proves their point"
the only time i don’t mind being asked where my protein comes from is when it’s genuine and coming from folks who want to become vegetarians or want to transition into being vegan. there are so many options.
Plants do not have a Nervous System therefore they do not have feelings. I have found that people don't seem to understand this. Also why do we have to have a list of reasons to justify what we eat, what if I just don't like meat! It's just a personal thing, everyone else can eat whatever they want I don't care. My days don't go around food either, eating is a little detail of being alive, I care about other things. LIVE AND LET LIVE.
Anyway when you eat plants directly instead of wasting tonnes and tonnes of them to feed a cow who will producess so little calories, you are doing less harm. So win win
"Live and let live" as a justification for eating meat is a little bit ironic, isn't it? Because that's exactly what vegans want for everyone, including the animals.
That last girl was awesome! Its so true! I was a "dic*k*ead" too, trying to prove vegans wrong and I did my research and digged and digged to try to prove them wrong and finally, I was left without arguments agains them. They were right in every single point and when I opened my eyes I had to joined them and I wish I would have done it sooner. Ignorance is not bliss. *Do your research!* xx
you must of literally did zero research if you cant find any scientific claim that veganism is a ideology and not scientifically feasible. . .if you are even telling the truth.
Ivona Flakus It’s the same thing all the time with vegans XD if someone disagrees with you, all you do is say that they’re uneducated and don’t know what they’re talking about. In your mindset, if people don’t give in to your self-destructive lifestyle, they’re naive and selfish.
I would like to have some vegan friends just to be able to not always needing to justify myself :O (sorry for bad English) I only have omni friends and I love them but seriously sometimes it gets kind of annoying and sad that they always have to mock me
Oh my god same I have a couple that sometimes see it as something to mock and everything I believe about animal cruelty is fake like my friend wore a real rabbit fur one day and the second I made a slight remark about not agreeing with it she made a really big deal about it and a couple other friends have mocked me about it since😒
+Calli Holliday well I'm not vegan and do not agree with using fur stuff but if someone uses it I Would not remark about it because some people can be sensitive and not get it.
I LOVE THIS VIDEO SO MUCH. I relate to every single one of these. 😂 “But bacon” is my personal favourite because even when I did eat meat I hated bacon. It’s a piece of pig not an oxygen tank lmao
I'm vegan and I got pissed off when my friend was eating chicken nuggets and she grabbed the chicken nugget and started putting it near my face and moving it around and going oooo like that's fucking rude and messed up like what do you think I'm going to fucking it the damn chicken nugget. I also hate when people ask me are you still vegan or if you have kids are you going to make them be vegan and then they get shocked when I say yes like what is being vegan bad or something. I remember this girl grabbed her ice cream and kept saying do you want it I know you want it and also she said something like she's trying to break me down to eat animal products like bitch you think that I'm going to suddenly not be vegan and I have been vegan since I was eleven years old. I also hate when I'm eating something and people think it's ok to take it away from me and see what is it. Also get near me and keep looking at it like can I eat in peace it's food have you never seen a salad before or whatever I'm eating that day. I could keep on ranting but I should stop now.
My "friend" asked if i would raise my kids on a vegan diet and obviously i said yes so she said that's disgusting and wrong and should let them eat what they want. Ya its wrong to not want my kids to eat animal carcass. Some people...smh, i swear one of these days Alice, right to the moon!
Keep strong. Times like those are tests of your resolve. Do it for Them! Do it for those who don't get a voice. I'm still a newish vegan. Whenever I want to have snacks I loved before, then find out have animal products in them, I think of all the pain and suffering and oppression that went into them. I keep strong for them.
Pancho Villa what's rude is you thinking you have a right to be angry at what someone else wants to eat. Don't want to eat meat? Cool. Don"t but let others
I wouldn’t say fit . You can be fat and a vegan , it’s not all diet . Plus a lot of their food have higher amounts of cholesterol which can affect their health just as much as a regular person . Plus they usually end up lacking in numerous nutrients .
*Oh, but don't forget these ones:* - "but if we didn't have dairy farms, wouldn't there be too many cows??" - "is that why you look so pale??" No it's cause I don't go outside - "Do I need to put my lunch away?" - "don't believe what you see on the internet" yeah, let me just go to the nearest slaughter house, I'm sure it's *completely* different - "oh I read this one article about this vegan who died caus-" just stop, there can be many other factors such as age, illnesses, etc. - "no, I'm going to have to turn down your polite offer of trying that fake food, because it's vEgAn" well, more for me - "you can't be 100% vegan" - "you're so sensitive" - "oh, I said the word beef, are you going to have a tantrum now" - "But like..... wHaT dO yOu EaT???" *(Yes I receive many of these comments daily)*
But I don't think asking to put their lunch away is so bad. That's them being considerate of your feelings. It's left to you to explain that it's not a big deal and that the sight of meat won't kill you😊🍖
I have people very close to me that offer food that isn't vegan. I literally only say, "no, thanks." They push the issue so much, asking why I'm being stubborn, etc. So I'm like, "well, it's not vegan." Then, of course, they accuse me of being picky or complicated or self-centered or all of the above. I tend to avoid the term vegan a lot because it just sets people off. Weird. Just let me do me, okay?
My friend the other day gave me the first ''don't believe everything you read on the internet'' comment when I was literally sourcing scientific facts and studies that have been written by actual scientists that have then been sent off to other scientists to be approved for and they all have meat/dairy and egg diets so its nothing bias, but yet she still said to not believe everything I'm seeing on the internet. its stupid lmao Edit: (The studies were about the environmental impact that animal agriculture has on the world and that its one of the leading causes of climate change and deforestation. There are also other studies showing that the number one leading cause of death in humans is heart disease, which is caused by consuming animal products.
I really really really want to be vegan but my mom won't let me, she only went as far as letting me be vegetarian and I've been one for 4 years but as soon as I can get a job to buy my own food I'm gonna be vegan
lowlife heathen honestly that is me too. My whole family lectures me about why I should eat meat every time we have dinner together and it's just really frustrating! But I plan on being vegan or at least continuing being a vegetarian when I move out
lmao same here. I'm the only vegetarian in my family and like they don't but vegetarian friendly foods but then get mad when I'm like not eating? Like there are so many ingredients that are animal based like it's not just not eating meat. Like it's meat, gelatin, glycerides, collagens, and a ton of other crap
ShroomyHoles I feel you there, but just as a recommendation you might want to hold up on the "like"s; it took me a couple read-throughs to understand what you were saying. But yes, family and veganism for me do not mix either.
that's just stupid. plants don't have a nervous system that make them react to pain. if you put a child's hand next to a fire, the child will remove his hand, if you put the hand of a pig next to a fire, same thing will happen.. if you put a carrot in a fire, the carrot won't run away.. -.-
You are stupid if you think that humans don't kill plants. And it is also obvious why carrots won't run away, because they don't have same biological functions as animals, and they are also already dead.
It doesn't matter what I eat. I'm only saying that humans also kill farmed plants (mainly root vegetable plants), just like how they also kill farmed animals. You can do with this information what you want.
This week I went to a friend's house and when he said to his mom that I was vegan she started going in on me , and I was like ??? I'm black and overweight so I think you can imagine what she said
So, I recently went vegan and I have to say, I will never go back to eating meat. Vegan food is tastier, I feel better, I have more energy and my skin has totally cleared up. Also, my mental health has improved so its win win all round!
what I hate is when people say "but being vegan is so expensive !!!!" that's so incorrect, like look how much meat and milk costs versus fruit and vegetables and almond milk ..???? yeah try to tell me now that vegan is more expensive. it's not. oh, and it's healthier and causes much less harm to the environment and to intelligent living creatures.
almond milk is sooo expensive though (at least in my country) :( a box of regular milk costs 1 dollar and a box of almond milk is 4 and a half dollars...
Where I live it’s actually really expensive to be vegan. I can understand how someone on a low budget income would rather get a loaf of bread for one dollar and some sandwich meat for 2 instead of buying vegetables and fruit, and other vegan options. The almond milk is like 5 dollars.
We once talked about veganism in class and my teacher asked me what I eat as a vegan so I went like “potatoes, pasta, rice, fruit, veggies.. also basically everything you can imagine can be made vegan.” Then my teacher was like “so... what else can you eat?” 🤦🏼♀️
Stupid meat eaters dont realize that even when THEY eat, meat is just a portion of their meal usually. Meat is usually accompanied by starches or vegetables on a dinner plate. Meat and dairy products make up probably only 10% of the worlds foods
The only reason they exist is for consumption. They’ll go the way of their ancestor the aurochs when the species survived in Europe until 1627, when the last recorded aurochs died in the Jaktorów Forest, Poland.
I've been a vegan for a year. I honestly, don't angry or annoyed when people ask me these questions (which they always do) because it gives me a, what may seems a single chance to have the discussion. A chance for them to learn and to understand what veganism is.
Natlynx Jørgensen why though? Plant based diets wreck havoc on my digestive system and cause me acne, inflammation of my joint and bloating fatigue and other things. No thanks. I will eat my meat and stay lean, healthy and muscular.
Mrs. W Great for you, but I’m pretty sure the plant based diet wasn’t the reason for your acne, because it never happened to me, I’m a teen (the time where your hormones are raging and are most likely to get acne) and I went on a plant-based diet for a month, didn’t get acne, I felt way more healthier than before and I know it sounds weird but I felt cleaner on the inside.
When they ask you if you can eat [some (refined) vegetable] I've been asked by a guy whether I could eat cucumber. I said no, because you have to milk a cow for that.
I was a vegetarian for over a year and all I heard is "where do you get protein?" "eat meat! It's so good!" "You're gonna force me to stop eating meat, aren't you?" Like no, you eat meat if you want, that's your choice and this is mine. I gave up my one year streak after I was forced to eat meat, and it was completely humiliating.
Lmfao I have no idea why that's so funny. I think because it sounds insane. Like she'd have to be a pretty abusive person to try to force feed you anything. I think if you would've held out you guys would've probably left. No one can 'make' you do anything unless you were a minor. And if so I'm sorry that sucks that someone forced you to do something you weren't comfortable with/
CassyCrass not anymore!!!! well in some places at least! be careful, I almost bought a bag today but double checked the ingredients. why do they have to fix something that isn't broken :((
They don't have feeling in the same way that a sentient beings do. If you take away a mothers calf she will cry and scream ! If you pluck a carrot from out off the ground you don't see anything happen even if look very closely!
it is so funny how everyone keeps complaining that vegans are preachy, like if christians do not wear any cross “preaching” they are christians or if they do not wear any t-shirts sometimes about god, like if any fan of a team sport or band does not ever wear a t-shirt, like people do not wear bacon t-shirts, like people do not wear political t-shirts, is any of this wrong or preachy or is it just people expressing their likes and beliefs like they are supposed to? why vegans cant expose their beliefs, the t-shirt clearly does not say “vegans are better people“ “you should be vegan” blah blah blah, it just says vegan or anything related to veganism and is not like they wear this every day of their lives so why you are so freaking determined to find a problem to veganism? As someone said in the commments this is obvs a vegan ir says in the titles then why are you here arguing? i didnt know that shoving believes in face to someone is posting a youtube video or any social media sharing about it? who is here putting you a gun into your head and saying if you are not vegan you die? So funny how people that are not vegans complain about that when they basically do the same thing with their beliefs... you are just trying to find excuses...
I'm vegetarian, not vegan, but I still get some of theese. People always say 'oh, but meat is really nice, and it's gonna die anyway' and aaaaagh it's so annoying! The first thing they say is 'Wait, you're vegetarian?!?' And its like, and it matters because? They also seem to have a hard time wrapping their head around it. I explain its because I don't agree with eating anything it was once living, it makes me feel sick, and they come out with 'but the animal will die anyway, but it tastes so good, but what is the point...' And it drives me round the bloody bend. And some people are plain insensitive. I get stuff like 'I wouldn't ever date a vegetarian, I have vegetarians, vegetarians are so stupid' and the list goes on If you do this, don't... It doesn't matter about whether we want to eat meat or not, it's none of your business, just think about what you say
This is a genuine story: my friend decided to become vegetarian and then unknowingly managed to eat like 5 chicken skewers?? Then a week later we were at lunch and she started talking about how she had been vegetarian for a few days now and we look down at her plate and she had got every meat offered??? She didn't realise too??? It was such an odd situation she genuinely did not recognise that she was eating meat????
Things I’m tired of hearing from anyone: condescension. Whether you’re vegan, pescatarian, vegetarian, gluten free by choice, or even if you’re a meat eater that’s clogging the arteries with a burger a day... I don’t really care as long as you don’t push your own personal choices on me and talk down to me. Sanctimony and sententious rhetoric are the absolute worst fucking traits in existence and meat eaters and vegans and everyone inbetween can be guilty of it.
My pet peeves are So what can u eat? What can I give u when u come to my house !? Why did u become vegan? Are u still vegan? Oh wait you can't have that! When they think u love salad and salad is all you eat 😑 When they don't like u Cus they think u are gonna lecture them ? 😂 There are so many more as well but These are a few
I'm vegetarian, not vegan, my pet peeves are: ⊙What do you eat then? ⊙The animals are going to die anyway... ⊙But meat tastes really good! ⊙Animals were put on the earth for us to eat... ⊙People waving meat in my face ⊙WAIT, YOU'RE VEGETARIAN?!? ⊙Them: Can I have some sausage Me: sure! Them: Ooh, this is nice, what type? Me: Quorn... Them: EWWWWWQ QUORN! Me: but you liked it.... Them: EWWWWW ME: -_- ⊙No offence, I wouldn't date anyone vegetarian (actually get this, it's ducked up) ⊙I hate vegetarians ⊙Stop acting as if we're evil for eating meat omg (even when I don't) Them
So what can you eat? My answer... “ever heard of oranges and apples? They have rice and beans for vegans you might have never tried it. Like sandwiches and subs.... but without animal products.”
Well it is, when it's asked the first time. Sometimes you visit someone, and they make all of this fuss about not being able to serve you any food, like it's the end of the world, or something. Then you calmly explain that you can eat anything made of plants, or even just one plant, like an apple, I would be happy having just an apple. And you visit the next time, and the same story. It gets annoying sometimes.
Everyone always says "if you had to eat meat or else all your friends die, would you do it?" or "would you eat meat for a million dollars" I'm just like no. No I wouldn't and that would never even happen tf.
Guys, it makes sense why they said that. I mean, those are some bad friends. Also, they were joking. It’s obvious that they would say that to their friends cuz they were annoyed by their rude behavior.
That desert thing annoys me. Because in India, in rajasthan there are alot of people from desert who are Jains and are vegan and have awesome food options. Pachkoota is one of them.
I am vegan and love my cat, a carnivore. I loved him before I woke up and became vegan. Those are not contradicting things. I think their point is more along the lines of how the thousands of animals a meat eating human living in society consumes per year are not loved, how that person does not even think of those animals, how that person is apathetic to the plight of hundreds of billions of animals being born to die every year. You can eat meat and love your dog, but you can't eat meat and love every animal you eat without it affecting you negatively. To feel nothing if you loved those you ate.....then you would be a sociopath. Or maybe just numb to it, if you were forced to eat meat and your will to live made you comply... Same way I would be devastated if I ate my much loved cat.
Both sides should be allowed to go about their daily lives without being judged on what they eat. I'm not judging what vegans and vegetarians eat, and I'd like to be treated in the same fashion. My life goes on, as do yours.
because it's more than a personal choice since it affects the environment and the animals on a big scale. This doesn't mean it's okay to shame people on both sides.
My top 10 comebacks for the holidays: 1. Leave me alone. I don’t tell you what to do or ask you weird questions. 2. Are you a baby? One which requires breastfeeding? Trust me, you won’t miss cheese. 3. You’re just jealous that you lack moral convictions or willpower/self control. 4. Hey do you eat bananas? Some people don’t. I don’t eat animal products. So...? 5. Us and Them by Pink Floyd is a good song. We are one family. 6. Don’t knock it until you try it, colon cancer boy. [Last 3 words are optional (follows ‘soy boy’)] 7. I get adequate nutrition from a well-balanced, whole food, vegan diet. Where did you study? 8. I just don’t like crappy eggs or shitty milk. Why would you eat a dead animal?!?!? 9. Interesting that nobody thrives on eliminating all plant foods. Not recommended. 10. All I wish is that non-vegans would shut up about vegans. It’s all they ever talk about.
chorro Trust me, they are to some people. I know that being vegan is a life style, it’s not like smoking. But I’ve been vegan for 14 years and I’ve ran into so, so many people who believe it is. Is possibly one of the most annoying things too.
@@danielbergeespe1636, what's wrong with YOU!? All animals deserve to live happy, "a pig is a cow, is a lamb, is a wolf, is a bear, is a boy" that is one of the best quotes to know when comparing species, face facts: WE ARE EVIL
Atlas we are evil? so in your opinion all predators in nature are evil? and who tf compares a pig to a boy? you are sick like every other vegan, mankind have eaten meat in all the time we have lived, even the first humans were meat eaters. It is completely normal and not evil to eat meat. animals are simply not worth as much because they dont live that long and dont do much on this earth. animals such as cows, sheep and pigs are meant for feeding humans because they have evolved for it and couldnt survive without humans. its just how everything have evolved because humans have keps animals to feed them as long ss the time shows
"You're vegan? But you're black" LOOOOOOOOOOL
oh i get it cause black people eating chicken is a stereotype :D *sienfield laugh track*
I thought it was because meat was a huge part of our diets culturally. Not just chicken, but pork, beef, etc. But um... yeah okay lmao
***** "U is a Stereo Tipe and a ricst." lol
I'm really not like. I just thought it was funny lmao
Sonia Sina im pretty sure that comment was ironic :D (hopefully)
"BUT YOU'RE BLACK" is the most hilariously ridiculous thing i've ever heard lmao
Yes hahahah I almost chocked XD
As a black person i know what he means. Alot of people really are surprised when a black person says they’re vegan. I think because black people are associated with soul food which is probably the worst diet ever. Soul food is the result of the scrap meat and unwanted shit given to slaves.
@@ether6136 also veganism is associated with the white hippy movement.
Idk what you’re talking about or what country you live in but here in America black people are associated with soul food. Im speaking as a black american. Idk what you guys in the Europe, Africa, or Asia go through
+Marly B Lmao you are so sweet and ok i get what you’re saying.
they forgot about "what do you even eat, then?" like they can't imagine even one meal without meat
Jayne Duncan the amount of times I've had this line said to myself is absurd lol
They eat like 10 different animal products and then ask that stupid shit... There are thousands of plant foods (which are free of cholesterol, disease, blood, pus, feces...)
Literally been asked today, felt the need to go really preachy, decided I liked the friendship of this human and so I spent the following 1 hour describing alllll the food I can eat.
right !! and i never know what to answer lmao
I just get so surprised when I hear that that idek how to answer 😂😂 like ever heard of vegetables
The best reply to "what if you were trapped on a deserted island " is
" imagine if you lived in a country where you could easily go veagan". Oh wait a minute
@adam zarbon Murder and rape is a choice too. It's called moral obligation.
I still wouldn't;/
"If you love animals so much why are you eating their food" is another personal favourite
Rebecca Crewdson I mean it's kinda true though, now all the plants are dying. I'm not saying it to be sarcastic or rude but I've asked that question before lol.
There are so many plants though and it takes like 1/10 of the energy to grow a plant than it does to feed a cow
omg I never had this one 😂😂
Rebecca Crewdson I've gotten this so many times from my friends (they're mostly joking) to the point where I just started to go with it and now I kinda play a character as an inside joke.
I hate this one but always joke around with it since it's my friends that say it in a joking matter.
"You're vegan"
"yeah"
"but you're black"
WHAT?! 😂😂😂😂
I literally burst out laughing when he said that xDD
There really is a stereotype that all vegans are skinny white women (because a lot of the famous vegans are, and all the cook book writers are etc, which is an issue within veganism actually). But anyone can be vegan.
That person obviously never heard about Rastafarianism and ital food. Lots of black people are vegans.
thank you so much ...lol so many people dont get that the Caribbean is full of vegans and vegetarians due to culture and religion
Immanuela Patterson ironic given the Rastafari religion
I'm vegan and what I find so annoying is when people are like "you're vegan?", and then try to START a fight with me about it smh. They're like "what's so good about veganism huh? Vegans suck. Why are you vegan that's stupid. Tell me one thing about veganism that's good", and I'm like "if you really want to have this conversation, sit down, cuz it's gonna take me about an hour now to really explain everything to you."
Meow Glab and then they say vegans don't shut up when they're the ones bringing it up 😒
***** Yeah exactly
And when they keep pushing you and pushing you with dumb questions, they end up saying "ugh, vegans only talk about veganism".
YOU AKSED AND MADE A BIG DEAL, ALL I SAID IS NO THANKS I DON'T WANT STEAK smh
CovaCata LOL so true. I'm the only vegan in my fam, and at the dinner table if any of my siblings ask me something like "why don't you eat dairy? Dairy isn't mean to the animals", then when I try to respond calmly and nicely, my parents are like "STOP TALKING ABOUT THAT AND STOP PREACHING", and I'm like "wtf.... he asked me. All I'm doing is answering, you should tell him not to ask in the first place."
I've never understood that, especially the perception of vegans and vegetarians as being weak. I'm not vegan, but I have a lot of respect for vegans and their commitment to staying true to their beliefs. I think it's really cool how creative the vegan community is when it comes to food. Plus I've met lots of vegans and the only time they mention it is when we're actually trying to decide what to eat or when we're having a related conversation.
*doesn’t say anything about veganism* “I could never be a vegan” WHEN DID I ASK
Rouge Blott “I’m Vegan” WHEN DID I ASK
@@PossumPoobah most vegans only say that when you ask so I mean
Rouge Blott why would you be rude against a person saying i couldnt be a vegan, vegans are excacly like jehovas witness but jehovas witness are very nice even though you tell them you are not religious and they respect that and try to have a conversation and say have s good day and walks away, vegans are just incredible rude to everyone else that isnt vegan
Daniel Berge Espe you should look up earthing Ed on TH-cam
A lot of vegan literally asked me.
This is coming from a meat eater, but I feel like meat eaters are just as obnoxious, or more obnoxious as vegans when vegans tell people that they are vegan. I've seen meat eaters be like wow thats so weird how do you do it your diet must be so restricted. Like meat eaters have a problem with judgy vegans, and then do the exact same thing to them back
yeah but one is better than the other just one eats healthier than the other.
I respect your view point. There can be annoying preachy people from both groups and I am glad that SOMEBODY understands this (coming from a vegetarian)
@I LOVE NUTMEG :] No. One is not better than the other. Both groups can eat healthy - just because someone eats meat doesn't mean they're unhealthy. If you insult and judge someone for their lifestyle, you don't deserve respect. Whether you're a meateater, vegetarian or vegan.
That's a total misconception! Both meat-eaters and meat-freers can be healthy or unhealthy, depending on what they eat. True, we vegans don't eat animals or animal products, but that leaves room for a lot of processed foods. I remember my cousin once told me she was going to try to eat healthier and asked me for advice. I felt like laughing. I looked at the cream cheese I had in my fridge a bit later and wondered what the hell was in it that made her and other meat-eaters think I eat so healthy (side note: I also enjoy French fries, potato chips, Oreos, and a whole bunch of other foods that aren't so healthy).
One time I was talking to my friend, *in private*, about how I was trying a vegan cream cheese and one of the agriculture teachers pops his head out of his office from across the classroom and says "What, are you vegan or something???" very aggressively. I got scared/didn't want him to start arguing me so I lied and said I was lactose intolerant and he was like "Oh, ok, good." So yes, I agree, both can be very obnoxious and annoying lol
the most annoying thing to me is that whenever I tell someone I'm vegan, it doesn't matter the context, they will usually become really defensive and try to justify their diet somehow, and then get mad when i try to defend myself 😒
If no one asked we don't need to know you are vegan.
I learned its best avoiding explaining yourself because from my past experiences i noticed they arent really interested in my answer they just urgently want to either feel better about themselves and just want to use whatever my answer for choosing vegan is to justify their position further - they are rarely 99% of time willing to see things from my point of view. So i think its just pointless talking because i dont enjoy empty-talk that doesnt serve any purpose.
Isabelle Bepler we get it ur vegan , u don put u self on a pedistle because of it bro
Conor Shanahan first off, your grammar is at the level where no one can take you seriously, and second they aren't putting themself on a pedistle they are just mentioning that they don't eat meat or dairy
The morally manipulative arguments - they make vegans look like a bunch of extemists wanting to push an agenda, no matter what
I've never met a condecending vegan or vegetarian (I know they exist though), but oh boy, have I met some condecending and belittling meat eaters.
foxylee ive only meet thoes type of vegans and never any meat eaters like that
The only vegan i have ever met honestly compared me eating meat to child molestation and murder, no joke
foxylee never met one who wasn't an absolute sanctimonious prick. I was a vegetarian and they looked down on me still. I can't be vegan or vegetarian for health reasons regardless of what I want to do. I got sick and had to start eating meat again. Both times.
Look up freelee
Well, yes, I believe you have met one since the day you became vegan/vegetarian! Yourself! Have a nice day!
Literal conversation I had:
"Would you like (insert meat item)?"
"No thank you."
"It's good though! Why?"
"I don't want one."
"But it's delicious! How could you not want this?"
"I just don't want one."
*puts it on my plate* "just try it!"
"I can't. I'm a vegan."
"Oh my gosh! I hate how people are just won't stop talking about how they're vegan! Shut up already!"
*initiate face palm*
People shouldn't force what they eat onto you. Whoever you were talking to... disappointing.
Damn must be sad I’ll go eat meat now have a good meal
vegan and ACE 😉
@@cosmicstarloves i'm no longer vegan. Turns out I'm allergic to most meat alternatives
As an omnivore, I find this shit annoying. If I want to strictly eat plants, let me.
"I'll eat what the animals are eating" is my new response to that deserted island question. Thanks.
Yeah, because a snake will suddenly become vegan for you, little angel =)))
How would the animals eat anything, it's a last chance survival situation where the desert island is rid of any food apart from the animal and yourself, but I don't recommend that you eat yourself.
JustJaida...ok. So you're gonna eat grass?
How about the carnivore's or omnivore's?
well then u lack b12
The silly thing about the desert island question is that it's been proven time and time again when humans are stranded somewhere without a food source, they will always eat each other, yet that's not justification for cannibalism in your day to day life. Now, I eat meat, myself, I just find that question completely and utterly ridiculous.
I find this question hard to! as someone who does eat meat I probably wouldn't eat meat on a desert island because I don't have the skills, or even the ability to actually kill something myself. it's be easier mentally and physically to just eat some plants.
if ther are animals on desert islands then there will be plant sources of food... as the animals mostly eat plants and each other... i would slaughter an animal though if i needed to eat tha tbad fuck it, my life matters more than some animal. im vegetarian but ill do what i gotta to survive
Best comment
I would live off coconuts, bananas and maybe fish if I had to
+Funkadelic FlowerChild There would be no coconuts or bananas on a desert island; those are tropical plants.

Kills a dog =psycho/kills a pig=normal/kills nothing =extremist ???
LOL
Cause pigs are dosmectied for food
What a stupid thing to say the reason why people would say someone was a phsyco if they killed a dog is because for centuries animals have been used for everything and we’ve kind of categorized them and pigs cows chickens have always been animals which we have eat but dogs have always been a domesticated species and always will be because they have been used for hunting so years later we don’t that any more and dogs have become a household pet which have been loved by someone so if someone kill them they’ll be pretty pissed and sad
@@sloppy_porridge People in China sometimes eat dog. Some people have pigs as pets. And why is it okay to kill millions of cows but not millions of cats. You are a perfect example of speciesism.
Its cause dogs are smarter and loyal and pigs taste good
Even in LOST, they ate fricking mangoes, okay. So that "deserted island" argument is bull.
because Lost was a documentary and not a fictional TV drama. . .
thawn4444 You clearly don’t understand sarcasm.

You couldn't survive an mangoes alone and most islands wouldn't have mangoes
First season was the only good one.
Non-Vegans: If you were stranded on a desert island, would you eat an animal?
*If you had the choice to live without harming animals, would you do it?*
MyGuyWiFi sure
I would eat an animal because it would probably taste good

BUT OTTERS LOVE THEY ROCKS!!!11 just kidding. i get you, im vegan too.
Right? Like... You mean that eating the animal itself is better? Sure 😑
whenever I talk to someone who is vegan or vegetarian im so intrigued and inspired, I don't understand the hate they receive
H50 that’s exactly how I felt before going vegan, maybe it’s a sign 😉
Yeah, that’s how it was with me too. You’re vegan material.
At first i dont either. I always defend them whenever someone shit on vegan but after seeing some crazy vegan. i started to understand.
@Kamakaze Don't take this the wrong way, but you shouldn't despise all vegans just because one caused something horrible. We do what we can to keep the fanatics quiet, but in the end, it's their choice what they say and do. It's rather unfair of you to judge thousands and thousands of people for the actions of one extremist. Her son's death was a tragedy and it's incredibly saddening to think about, but, logically, how does that fall on the rest of us?
@Kamakaze I understand how that could be difficult for you, but please remember that each individual is responsible for their own actions no matter what they profess. :)
Ive actually heard the "fish/animals live in water and you steal their home by drinking it" a lot. It makes me cringe to think that some people think this way.
I thought it was a joke from vegans/ comparison to how stupid the "you eat animals' food" is...
My father used to tell people that he refused to drink water because fish pee in it, it was one of his more jokier reasons for only drinking alcohol...
SevCaswell in fact there is some water in alcohol
lmao this one dude in my class said this to me once
There joking lol
top questions I get asked: "where do you get protein from?" "you're vegan, do you still eat seafood?" literally so annoying, people need to research lol
Or you can explain it to them.
Why do people "need" to research this?
Sapurina so then we ourselves aren't judged by other just because we're vegan, so that all misconceptions and lies are cleared. And just to be more educated in general?
why don't you educate the people asking the question yourself? if someone asks you a question about your beliefs in a kind and earnest way then you should help them understand why you personally feel that way in a kind and earnest way. honestly if i wanted to go and "educate" myself on veganism i would find as many studies and articles saying it is awfully bad for your health and will kill you as i would studies and articles saying it is the best and only diet and you'll die if your aren't a vegan. sometimes it is nice to know how someone personally feels about something they are actually experiencing first hand rather than reading news and hearsay all over the internet
jasminejo2424 that's exactly what we try to do, except the problem is there's like this instant hate when people discover that you're vegan. You can find it in the comments, you can find it anywhere.
"plants have feelings too" oh my god I get this all the time, my brain dies more and more each time
Watch The Secret Life of Plants.
yup, there goes a tiny bit of my frontal lobe
t's and i's You didn't watch it. I'm saying this as a fellow vegan, watch it you might learn something.
I've heard the theory of plant sentience, I am a biochem major at university, I get where people are coming from, but the argument is so full of fallacies (not to mention, even if plants were sentient they are not more so than animals) that THAT is what annoys me.
I agree , plants are not more sentient than animals. I've never really been a "plant person", no gardening for me, but watching that movie just gave me a new found respect for plants.
"if bacon is that big a deal for you, you need to get out more". Lol.
thebestwillow yea, get out and eat more bacon
If it is true what you’re saying we would have died as a species long ago. Humans have been eating meat for the last 2.5 million years you clown. What are you anyway a doctor?, scientist?, I doubt it, you’re probably just a sheep that blindly eats the Bullshit that’s fed to you. (Sorry bean curd vegan bullshit) haha
@@Deadspawns Just because you'll die early from eating bacon doesn't eman the species will die out. Also it's been around for 1,500 years, not 2,500,000 that you made up so you're off by over 99%. Don't be accusing anyone else of being blind or spreading bullshit, what you just said is bullshit.
@@frankatwood3095 Humans are eating bacon for over 3500 years. So you are also wrong.
@@blazn0 True, though you've got to admit 1,500 is closer to 3,500 than 2,500,000 is. That being said the time span isn't relevant, we've had slavery, rape and murder much longer than that, it's not a basis for morality.
I'm vegan but I'm a big girl so I hate when people ask me "so what do you eat?" lol I'm like "obviously a lot"
A lot of what??? That’s what people are asking.
Tia Lillish literally everything that you eat, without the meat
and breast milk and ovulations etc
I hate when people automatically assume you're skinny and fit and you work out everyday and do yoga and take all these supplements etc etc... Like fuck no. You can be an unhealthy/lazy vegan (me).
lol u slay
honestly if i were stranded on a desert island like i'd definitely stay vegan like they expect me to all of the sudden be able to hunt??? nah catch me pickin some berries
Good luck staving, I would just eat the vegan.
and aside from all that you'd lack b12
Actually, she probably wouldn't. B12 is not produced by animals, it's produced by bacteria. The reason there's not much b12 in the food is that our food is too clean, and if she was stranded on a deserted island, she probably wouldn't eat food that was treated with pesticides (herbicides, insecticides,...), that was thoroughly washed, she would probably eat it as soon as she found it, and BAM, bacteria and b12 :)
Yeah ok because the calorie count is 'some' berries is definitely equivalent to any kind of meat you could find. Also you in civilization now so your lucky enough to actually have good vegan food with all of the nutrients you need. I'm pretty sure if you actually valued you life you would eat both.
i'm actually dying @ the responses like how dumb can u be lmao
Here are others, with the last one being a particular favourite of mine:
- if you're a vegan you can't drive a car or use the computer
-where do you get your iron?
-but...but....B12!!!!!
-what about breast milk?
-So....You can't have oral sex, right?
Linda Liriel LOL who told you being vegan means you can't drive?
Meow Glab loads of people, the reason being the bugs that get hit.
Linda Liriel HAHAHA omg that's too much
"But... BACON!" is possibly the worst thing ever though, seriously..
so where do you get b12 from then? im sorry but i find being vegan idiotic but you must think the same about eating animal products, so we're even
"what do you eat then?"
"can you eat this? can you eat that?"
"what do you eat then?"
"what do you eat then?"
"are you a hippie?"
"what do you eat then?"
"i coudn't do it bc i wouldn't know what to cook"
"I won't restrict myself"
"the world is going to end anyway"
"what do you eat then?"
"what do you eat then?"
@Im Everywhere oof lol you havent met people who are vegan, but if veganism is a personality trait than I would understand that perspective.
stay in drugs dont do school
it will never beat the people who say something like 'stop shoving it down my throat' or 'just shut up youre wrong' when someone says that it pisses me off so much
Unoriginal What
“But vegans don’t have protein”
“Omg but your going to be skinny”
“Vegans don’t have b12”
“Vegans don’t have omega 3”
People act like meat is the only food.
Im a vegan and people always tell me "so your a hippie?"
What!?!😂
Simultaneously a hippie and an extremist...
Did you tell them you're apparently also gay, malnourished and hysterical?
There are vegan bikers and vegan black metal fans too.
I'd say that one of the hardest things about being/going vegan is social pressure. That's it.
There are umpteen dozen things you can get that are vegan, and the more local/seasonal and less processed(like oils, refined sugar+wheat, junkfood) that food is, the more you're eating a diet that is natural to humans and provides all the essentials AND helps the environment, humanity, nature and the planet out tremendously.
Leafy Greens, Fruits and Legumes as main-staple, with Root Veggies, Rices and Fruit-Veggies as secondary essentials, with Grains, Pastas, Nuts, Alternative Animal Products and Dessert Treats if you desire as tertiary add-ons. Mmmmm.
The biggest gripe I have is that if others are cooking things for me, they still use eggs, dairy, oils, refined sugars, meat broth. It's a bit annoying. I don't want to say anything, but I'd much rather that they cut that stuff out.
It's a bit tricky to talk about because they don't understand how the foods they eat affect their body. Eating for pleasure is fine, but personally, I'd rather eat for pleasure with mind of consequences+empathy. It's difficult to speak up when you're immediately labeled and defended against.
So you eat the animal products? You could say no... You should educate them!
Wheat isn't bad unless you have Celiac disease , and you mentioned pasta so I assume you ment gluten-free pasta, gluten-free products are more processed them wheat products.
I suddenly stumbled across this video again and noticed my comment got lots of likes & some comments I never received.
@MyGuyWiFi - It's almost been a year since I went vegan. The comment I wrote was from my first month early transition period. I wasn't as confident about speaking up back then, but now I am.
I worked at a local family oriental restauraunt that made free meals for me. Before I went vegan I ate whatever they cooked & anything my parents made too- but after going vegan I had troubles speaking up about this sudden diet change & didn't want to rock the boat.
I gradually opened up about the change though. Today I still work there, but I don't really eat any food there anymore being so health conscious.
It's not a great idea to educate a long-time oriental family who cooks and deep-fries traditional meat-based foods. But with these changing times they'll eventually have to add vegan items on their menu to keep up revenue. I have supported one co worker to go vegetarian though, which is a great seed for future potential ease into veganism to come.
My family was originally very resistant and bewildered about my diet change, but now they're opening up & some are easing into the possibility of going vegetarian and vegan. For being vegan only 1 year, my presence has helped open up new doors to them.
I try to encourage plant based choices when I can, but there's much to be done.
@Emily Walker - I think I just meant highly refined/processed wheats.
Though I myself find wheat makes me feel congested and heavier (as well as oil) so I avoid eating it anyways.
My mother in law literally straight up told me chicken wasn't meat. Like in what world lol
Jeeez 😂😂😂😂😂🤦🏻♀️
Hahahaha
Technically she's right. It is a meat in the biological sense, but in cooking we use the term "poultry" to refer to 'meat' from birds. Just like how we don't call a pieces of sushi or cod meat, we call it fish. Meat is a term used for any land based animals that are not birds.
So really, your mother was right. Chicken is poultry, which isn't the same as meat, when talking in culinary terms.
S. Swan I know I’m 2 years late but that is literally my gran she says “but you still eat chicken right that’s not meat?”
S. Swan my stepdad told me that i could eat fish since i’m a vegetarian sis what drugs was he on
Them: “What’s the most difficult part about being vegan/vegetarian?”
Me: “Idiots asking me this question.”
Omg yes
People ask that and it’s very stupid
If you cannot handle people asking questions, why preach at them?
@@tardislady9546 oh, I’m more than happy to reply to questions if they’re actually curious. It’s only when people ask to annoy me.
@@nickeynguyen3404 Your dismissive, arrogant, tone, is proof that you see yourself as superior, because you are a vegan. Why not try some humility? Why not admit that your way is not the only way? Cue the denials, and claims that vegans are angels. BORING!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! If vegans cannot handle people asking questions, let them keep their preaching, and judging, to themselves.
At 0:13 when the women in the pink sweater laughed at her card, I knew it was "Where do you get your protein right away" ;P
Every vegan once thought: I couldn't be a vegan 😂 I didn't eat pork and lamb because of religion, my dad has a disease called gout where he can't eat red meat or seafood, and chicken is kinda dry for my taste, like I'd rather eat a juicy fruit. That's how meat kinda got taken out of my life. I also have a tiny dairy intolerance, and dairy gives me cystic acne (I'm a teen :[ ), so I stay away from it. I hate the taste of eggs, so that's also not something I'd eat. That basically leaves me with a vegan diet. Once in a while, I'll eat something where I can't exactly taste the animal products, like zucchini pancakes that use butter or something. I stay away from animal products in my skincare and clothes because I feel like that disgusting to put on my body. I pretty much have slowly and accidentally turned myself kinda vegan. Yes it's a lot of prep in bulk and creativity, but It's actually cheaper and more simple. U also get to eat more without worrying that a little steak won't fill u up. It works for me 🤷🏼♀️
Masha Nikulina that's me girl! I'm not vegan but I eat mostly plant based food, and it's for health reasons :) I'm have big milk intolerance and meat just disgusts me. Every now and then I get a little milk in my system or egg from chocolate but it's very rarely.
same for me!
www.wikihow.com/Tie-a-Noose , good job killing the animal food and why the fck cant you be normal pls
Masha Nikulina I have the same situation as you. I was already a vegetarian since I was 8, I am lactose intolerant and get bad acne from dairy, and I think eggs are so gross. I think going vegan was one of the best decisions I’ve ever made
Masha Nikulina u need meat
Imagine for all your life you have been doing something and not even consciously thinking about it. You wake up, do it. Go out, do it and return, do it. Everyone around you does it too and thinks nothing of it. Then one day you see someone living a lifestyle or even just saying something like, you know your behaviour may not be correct. At first you can kinda laugh it off and be reassured by other people in your surroundings that carry out said behaviour and are sure thats the way of the world. Now as life goes on and we meet more and more people and more and more of them are telling me that what i and my previous friends/family do is "wrong". The first thing we feel is defensive right i mean screw them, who are they? We may at this point decide to look into it more or just ignore it and carry on. If we ignore it and carry on we need a way to discredit those that disagree with us because as humans we like to be "doing whats right" in our minds. So we often suffer from cognitive dissonance and to correct this we target these people not their (potentially correct) ideas. If we choose to read up for ourself what we find is that to our horror we have been living a life that is non-sustainable, cruel, harmful to the planet and its people. To the point that its very clear this behaviour needs to stop. At this moment when the change is made everything is so clear and you see through the pretty packaging of our behaviours. You see through the "well everyone does it" (i mean why vote then?). You see though all of the excuses to maintain the status quo and its upsetting but also liberating. Then you turn to the ones you care about , that you consider "good people" and you try to show them what, you believe, is right. Then they call you pushy, stuck up, annoying, preachy etc..
In this i tried not to make it sound like im talking about veganism. What if it was slavery, war, whatever. In this situation what would you do?
what on earth is your point? lmao
Because so many people complain of vegans being pushy, moaning etc. But i was trying to explain why they can be like that
Jordan iguess ahh fair enough, but you do get that one occasional vegan who makes all other vegans look bad XD
Yes because veganism is exactly like slavery or war! You've sussed it out! Jordan for presidente. Please genocide all meat eaters for thinking differently to you oh fuhre- I mean, presidente?
Good post. Sorry people are too slow to understand your point. I could spend all day reading negative comments on vegan videos though, lots of morons out there
The most common ones are “I would be vegan but I love bacon to much” “You’re probably protein deficient” and “oh yeah my brothers best friends cousins dogs previous owner was vegan”
Cows eat 3x as many plants as the average vegan. So meat eaters eat more meat and vegetables. I'm a vegan bodybuilder ffs.
Sk ya that's not true
@@elinbellander4016 because the cow would have digested it. But I think this comment is a joke.

🙄🙄
I love animals and I still love bacon oops?
Even as someone who eats meat, bacon included, this annoys me. Bacon is just another type of meat. It's nothing special, amazing or magical, there are foods that taste better, foods that taste worse. Even if someone isn't ready or willing to give up meat, they should at least consider the value of an animal's life, and acknowledge that the food they're eating was a thinking, feeling creature capable of love and affection, and respect the fact that someone else might not want to contribute to ending lives. As for vegans being preachy, I've seen a lot more meat eaters talking about why people should eat meat than vegans telling meat eaters to stop eating meat.
“plants have feelings too”
literally the amount of plants it takes to feed an animal for all its life to make a burger is very noticeably less than the plants it takes to have a vegan meal
yeah because vegans tend to die early from malnutrition
Really? Which ones?
the B12 deficient ones (:
B12 deficiency is not a vegan exclusive problem you know, it happens to everyone! Most vegans also tend to be slightly more conscious of nutrients, so a lot of us supplement, also a lot more vegan products are coming out already fortified with B12. I also hope you understand how we would have gotten B12 naturally in the past, and how this is not evidence at all that we should have to eat meat!
A plant based diet is actually far more nutritious in every way than a standard omnivorous diet, which is why, contrary to what you have stated, vegans actually tend to live longer!
there are no studies confirming that vegans/vegetarians do live longer
When my friends eat my vegan food they are like “this is really good” and then when they find out it’s vegan they say “eww that’s why it’s so disgusting”
That's stupid what does vegan food taste like
@@Undefinedde like plants and soya
My boyfriend's dad always says, "this is delicious...considering it's vegan." 🤣🤣🤣
that is crap
@@Nick_MG No, it doesnt. Not all of it anyway.
So accurate. God the other day at work it got brought up that I was vegan and my manager, who I thought was my friend and is usually really nice, told me an array of nasty and downright mean things including her very strong opinion that veganism is stupid and cows are pointless animals that deserve to be slaughtered because all they do is eat and poop. I'm usually pretty good about taking shit like that, but coming from a "friend" I was genuinely upset about what she said. I don't attack her for eating meat and doing rodeo shit, so why is it acceptable for her to attack me? And people say vegans are preachy and extreme.
Sophia Baker im sorry you had to witness that❤️
What the fuck? That is so messed up. Sounds like a true bigot.
She a traditional “southern” gal?
That's really rude! I'm sorry you were treated that way :(
Yep! I don't push or enforce any of my beliefs of others, people eat, cook and use non-vegan things in front of me, the only freaking force I've had pushed onto me since being vegan, is non-vegans interviewing me as if they're in the right, veganism is wrong and I have done something incredibly wrong. It's like, you keep thinking that buddy but, you're just defending a guilty conscience!
I feel you! A friend of mine once told me that she "believes all cows are happy because they get food and a place to stay in" wtf......... yeah if they barely see sunlight and breathe in fresh air and roam freely they will still be happy because they have food and shelter??? and then it's okay to kill them too?? if you were that cow would you feel the same way? -_- we were in public but I wanted to yell or something lol
There are sooo many people who directly after you tell them you're vegan ask you questions like: "Oh so you also only use recycled paper? You must use green energy then? But aren't fruits shipped so far that..... etc" (just some simple examples). People get offended so easily and basically tell you that in order to justify being vegan you have to be perfect! Hey! I'm just a little human and I am doing one thing at a time and trying my best at it! I'd rather be vegan and do one good thing by being doing that than give up being vegan just because I can't be perfect :D Of course my ultimate plan is to get better in better at saving energy, water and resources in general!
There isn't anything good coming out of being vegan.
Courtney Courteau Hahahahahahahah

"You don't justify something that's wrong based on it being tasty" PREACH
How is it wrong exactly?
"If you were stranded on a deserted island..."
I'm assuming if it's deserted there's probably going to be a lack of wildlife... And if there were animals, they're getting their food somewhere... That argument makes no sense.
If you were stranded on a desert island... would you eat a cactus
@@chickennuggets1990 I would eat sand XD
@@chickennuggets1990 the outside of the cactus is sharp but the inside is full of water to drink
@@chickennuggets1990 No, but if I had watched Bear Grylls then yes.
Also, if you were in a developed country where you could easily choose to live by not hurting someone, would you do it?
I don't think you will.
Just because an animal is eating something doesn’t mean it’s safe for humans. Those animals have adapted to eating that thing and you could make yourself very sick by trying to eat the same thing.
"What if you're stranded on a desert island?" best answer: "That's never happened to me, how about you?" shows them how ridiculous they sound.
Boglenight they were being sarcastic
Meow Glab
It's incredibly idiotic.
Boglenight
What's incredibly idiotic is trying to think you have outsmarted millions of years of evolution.
Eating meat is natural and healthy. Herbivores exist to be eaten by carnivores. Our purpose on this planet is to eat them.
ECURB511
You obviously know very little about zoology. Let me guess, you're a christian that doesn't care about facts and evidence but simply writes what they think is right without care for evidence?
Boglenight Do you mean the people in the video sound idiotic? Or the people asking the question? Because I agree that the question was idiotic, but not the people in the video.
When they say that your preachy even though they come to you and try to pick up a argument where if you defend yourself in any way shape or form it "proves their point"
It's the same logic that makes all black persons "angry," all muslims, "evil," all women, "emotional." Fuck the status quo.

mimi Boo yeah cause I really wanna put my life in danger again because so aggressive Vegan bullied me
Hahahahahah yessssssssss
the only time i don’t mind being asked where my protein comes from is when it’s genuine and coming from folks who want to become vegetarians or want to transition into being vegan. there are so many options.
Plants do not have a Nervous System therefore they do not have feelings. I have found that people don't seem to understand this. Also why do we have to have a list of reasons to justify what we eat, what if I just don't like meat! It's just a personal thing, everyone else can eat whatever they want I don't care. My days don't go around food either, eating is a little detail of being alive, I care about other things. LIVE AND LET LIVE.
Anyway when you eat plants directly instead of wasting tonnes and tonnes of them to feed a cow who will producess so little calories, you are doing less harm. So win win
"Live and let live" as a justification for eating meat is a little bit ironic, isn't it? Because that's exactly what vegans want for everyone, including the animals.
So you know what to do not to be another goldfish ;)
yeah but it's not like the want to be killed when we kill animals the don't feel pain
Thanks you said JUST what
i was going to say
Why do people care more about their tastebuds than lives?
Yes, i also don't know why people eat root vegetables.
Riley Corkery Because they're selfish
something i will never understand girl
Riley Corkery because they have a superiority complex.
People don't even care about the lives of their own species - So this fucked up mental state is common in them
That last girl was awesome! Its so true! I was a "dic*k*ead" too, trying to prove vegans wrong and I did my research and digged and digged to try to prove them wrong and finally, I was left without arguments agains them. They were right in every single point and when I opened my eyes I had to joined them and I wish I would have done it sooner. Ignorance is not bliss. *Do your research!* xx
Yes, as a vegetarian for 30 years, I tried to prove vegans were wrong too, so I did my research and ... I'm vegan now ! :D
you must of literally did zero research if you cant find any scientific claim that veganism is a ideology and not scientifically feasible. . .if you are even telling the truth.
Ivona Flakus
It’s the same thing all the time with vegans XD if someone disagrees with you, all you do is say that they’re uneducated and don’t know what they’re talking about. In your mindset, if people don’t give in to your self-destructive lifestyle, they’re naive and selfish.
+thawn4444+

I would like to have some vegan friends just to be able to not always needing to justify myself :O (sorry for bad English) I only have omni friends and I love them but seriously sometimes it gets kind of annoying and sad that they always have to mock me
We can be friends...

I have one vegan friend :,(
Oh my god same I have a couple that sometimes see it as something to mock and everything I believe about animal cruelty is fake like my friend wore a real rabbit fur one day and the second I made a slight remark about not agreeing with it she made a really big deal about it and a couple other friends have mocked me about it since😒
you gotta get new friends man
+Calli Holliday well I'm not vegan and do not agree with using fur stuff but if someone uses it I Would not remark about it because some people can be sensitive and not get it.

ew bacon is so gross the only meat I usually eat is chicken or the occasional beef haha
Chloë Brisson but it's a tasty bit of pig.
Me too, friend. When I used to eat meat I didn’t like bacon, didn’t like anything cooked on the grill, and I only ate chicken and turkey.
And you still can eat bacon bits
Chloe B TRUE LMAO bacon is gross & it’s so overhyped I don’t get it. It’s literally just strips of fat & grease. 😂
I'm vegan and I got pissed off when my friend was eating chicken nuggets and she grabbed the chicken nugget and started putting it near my face and moving it around and going oooo like that's fucking rude and messed up like what do you think I'm going to fucking it the damn chicken nugget. I also hate when people ask me are you still vegan or if you have kids are you going to make them be vegan and then they get shocked when I say yes like what is being vegan bad or something. I remember this girl grabbed her ice cream and kept saying do you want it I know you want it and also she said something like she's trying to break me down to eat animal products like bitch you think that I'm going to suddenly not be vegan and I have been vegan since I was eleven years old. I also hate when I'm eating something and people think it's ok to take it away from me and see what is it. Also get near me and keep looking at it like can I eat in peace it's food have you never seen a salad before or whatever I'm eating that day. I could keep on ranting but I should stop now.
My "friend" asked if i would raise my kids on a vegan diet and obviously i said yes so she said that's disgusting and wrong and should let them eat what they want. Ya its wrong to not want my kids to eat animal carcass. Some people...smh, i swear one of these days Alice, right to the moon!
Keep strong. Times like those are tests of your resolve. Do it for Them! Do it for those who don't get a voice. I'm still a newish vegan. Whenever I want to have snacks I loved before, then find out have animal products in them, I think of all the pain and suffering and oppression that went into them. I keep strong for them.
IM SO HAPPY TO SEE ALL THE VEGANS WTF I THOUGHT I LOST HOPE IN HUMANITY BUT NOPE. #stopthecruelty

all these people look fit af

- "you can't be 100% vegan"
- "you're so sensitive"

- "But like..... wHaT dO yOu EaT???"

Jay Reno throw a tantrum is the phrase
But I don't think asking to put their lunch away is so bad. That's them being considerate of your feelings. It's left to you to explain that it's not a big deal and that the sight of meat won't kill you😊🍖
I have people very close to me that offer food that isn't vegan. I literally only say, "no, thanks." They push the issue so much, asking why I'm being stubborn, etc. So I'm like, "well, it's not vegan." Then, of course, they accuse me of being picky or complicated or self-centered or all of the above. I tend to avoid the term vegan a lot because it just sets people off. Weird. Just let me do me, okay?

My friend the other day gave me the first ''don't believe everything you read on the internet'' comment when I was literally sourcing scientific facts and studies that have been written by actual scientists that have then been sent off to other scientists to be approved for and they all have meat/dairy and egg diets so its nothing bias, but yet she still said to not believe everything I'm seeing on the internet. its stupid lmao
Edit: (The studies were about the environmental impact that animal agriculture has on the world and that its one of the leading causes of climate change and deforestation. There are also other studies showing that the number one leading cause of death in humans is heart disease, which is caused by consuming animal products.
I am 9 im a vegan just to save animals
Your parents generation ruined the housing market
Fucc me
That's super awesome I'm really happy for you 😊😁💞👌
Awesome! Wish I would have been so intelligent at your age!
Maryam Salyakhov that‘s great !!!
#savetheanimals
I’m a new vegan, somebody asked about me about protein for the first time the other day. Love that for me
Why ruin your life
Why caring about other people’s diet?
@@Gigachad-kb1pp Why do you think being vegan ruins someone's life?
@@EclecticallyEccentric no meat no fun
I really really really want to be vegan but my mom won't let me, she only went as far as letting me be vegetarian and I've been one for 4 years but as soon as I can get a job to buy my own food I'm gonna be vegan
Show her uprooting the leading causes of death and the excuses speech.
lowlife heathen honestly that is me too. My whole family lectures me about why I should eat meat every time we have dinner together and it's just really frustrating! But I plan on being vegan or at least continuing being a vegetarian when I move out
The 4th Schuyler Sister i'm in the same situation as you
lmao same here. I'm the only vegetarian in my family and like they don't but vegetarian friendly foods but then get mad when I'm like not eating? Like there are so many ingredients that are animal based like it's not just not eating meat. Like it's meat, gelatin, glycerides, collagens, and a ton of other crap
ShroomyHoles I feel you there, but just as a recommendation you might want to hold up on the "like"s; it took me a couple read-throughs to understand what you were saying. But yes, family and veganism for me do not mix either.
"I think people don't want to believe it because they enjoy it."
This is soooo true!!!
People are also killing plants for enjoyment.
that's just stupid. plants don't have a nervous system that make them react to pain. if you put a child's hand next to a fire, the child will remove his hand, if you put the hand of a pig next to a fire, same thing will happen.. if you put a carrot in a fire, the carrot won't run away.. -.-
You are stupid if you think that humans don't kill plants. And it is also obvious why carrots won't run away, because they don't have same biological functions as animals, and they are also already dead.
then tell me what you eat then? you probably eat chicken, bacon, milk and eggs...
It doesn't matter what I eat. I'm only saying that humans also kill farmed plants (mainly root vegetable plants), just like how they also kill farmed animals. You can do with this information what you want.
This week I went to a friend's house and when he said to his mom that I was vegan she started going in on me , and I was like ??? I'm black and overweight so I think you can imagine what she said
Pamela Leal ye same
I am soooo sorry Pamela... Even the so called nicest people can be the mist awful when it comes on to veganism
Pamela Leal For some reason being vegan apparently gives everyone a free ticket to comment on your looks and weight.
Yeah. That’s why people are defensive when it comes to vegans, it seems (almost pure carnivore talkin, here)
@@esppupsnkits4560 Almost pure carnivore?
So, I recently went vegan and I have to say, I will never go back to eating meat. Vegan food is tastier, I feel better, I have more energy and my skin has totally cleared up. Also, my mental health has improved so its win win all round!
Tastier my ass
I hate when ppl are offended by the fact that I'm vegetarian.
what I hate is when people say "but being vegan is so expensive !!!!" that's so incorrect, like look how much meat and milk costs versus fruit and vegetables and almond milk ..???? yeah try to tell me now that vegan is more expensive. it's not. oh, and it's healthier and causes much less harm to the environment and to intelligent living creatures.
Kelsea Williams it is because plants are given medicine too. If veganism wasn't expensive then people in third world countries would be vegan also
almond milk is sooo expensive though (at least in my country) :( a box of regular milk costs 1 dollar and a box of almond milk is 4 and a half dollars...
noora yeah that’s what i do :)
I can’t survive a vegan diet
Where I live it’s actually really expensive to be vegan. I can understand how someone on a low budget income would rather get a loaf of bread for one dollar and some sandwich meat for 2 instead of buying vegetables and fruit, and other vegan options. The almond milk is like 5 dollars.
We once talked about veganism in class and my teacher asked me what I eat as a vegan so I went like “potatoes, pasta, rice, fruit, veggies.. also basically everything you can imagine can be made vegan.” Then my teacher was like “so... what else can you eat?” 🤦🏼♀️
Stupid meat eaters dont realize that even when THEY eat, meat is just a portion of their meal usually. Meat is usually accompanied by starches or vegetables on a dinner plate. Meat and dairy products make up probably only 10% of the worlds foods
Ether are you saying meat eaters are stupid or that certain ones are?
+The Chatatas I was speaking generally. Of course i dont think all meat eaters are stupid.
i just say food now
@@ether6136
_Uhh. Didnt you just?_
Sir, there's no such thing as a "male cow" they're bulls. Bulls & cows are collectively called cattle.
The only reason they exist is for consumption. They’ll go the way of their ancestor the aurochs when the species survived in Europe until 1627, when the last recorded aurochs died in the Jaktorów Forest, Poland.
Very ture. A cow refers to a mammals like bovines or whales that is female.
I've been a vegan for a year. I honestly, don't angry or annoyed when people ask me these questions (which they always do) because it gives me a, what may seems a single chance to have the discussion. A chance for them to learn and to understand what veganism is.
I’ve never gotten “you don’t look like a vegan” lmao. People guess I’m a vegan before I ever say anything because I have dreads lol
*Humans can perfectly live without meat*
Mind-blowing isn't it?
Natlynx Jørgensen but I don’t want to live without eating it sry
@@emir4126 period
Natlynx Jørgensen why though? Plant based diets wreck havoc on my digestive system and cause me acne, inflammation of my joint and bloating fatigue and other things. No thanks. I will eat my meat and stay lean, healthy and muscular.
Mrs. W Great for you, but I’m pretty sure the plant based diet wasn’t the reason for your acne, because it never happened to me, I’m a teen (the time where your hormones are raging and are most likely to get acne) and I went on a plant-based diet for a month, didn’t get acne, I felt way more healthier than before and I know it sounds weird but I felt cleaner on the inside.
Mrs. W umm, it might be because you’re allergic to a certain thing that you ate when you were on the diet.
When they ask you if you can eat [some (refined) vegetable]
I've been asked by a guy whether I could eat cucumber. I said no, because you have to milk a cow for that.
I was a vegetarian for over a year and all I heard is "where do you get protein?" "eat meat! It's so good!" "You're gonna force me to stop eating meat, aren't you?" Like no, you eat meat if you want, that's your choice and this is mine. I gave up my one year streak after I was forced to eat meat, and it was completely humiliating.
MickeyInWonderland who forced you to eat meat? That's horrible. Are you vegetarian again now?
MickeyInWonderland gosh you poor thing :( you should get back on it though
How were you forced to eat meat...
Maree Taylor she shoved it in my face, said we couldn't leave the restaurant until I ate it, then shamed me to random customers eating there
Lmfao I have no idea why that's so funny. I think because it sounds insane. Like she'd have to be a pretty abusive person to try to force feed you anything. I think if you would've held out you guys would've probably left. No one can 'make' you do anything unless you were a minor. And if so I'm sorry that sucks that someone forced you to do something you weren't comfortable with/
I eat meat but I don't like bacon, bacon is so overrated
HAM!!
Your mum is overrated
Malva Malfoy same bro I thought I was alone with that I hate bacon
Malva Malfoy I agree
Never tried it
I LOVE THIS VIDEO. it's really too bad it goes right over the heads of the same people that are saying these comments in the first place
Also when people say "Plants have feelings too." Like what do you want me to do just not eat?
U can eat plants. Y’all step on grass and $hit so it’s fine go eat plants. The humans destroyed everything, so it’s fine.
Fun fact: Oreos are vegan
CassyCrass not anymore!!!! well in some places at least! be careful, I almost bought a bag today but double checked the ingredients. why do they have to fix something that isn't broken :((
They're made with palm oil, tho ;-;
not the proper way with milk
Vito Corleone why?
Gillian Watkins they got soya milk
Since when did BBC3 become buzzfeed?
I'm vegetarian. I had a friend asking me what I would do an a desert island. I answered that I would eat him. He stopped asking, I wonder why ;)
Good for you
RavenGhole And then everyone clapped right?
That’s not vegans!
if you have more empathy for an animal than for a friend im sorry for you
@@waifu_png_pl6854 it was a joke...
"But killing people's nice isn't it" hahaha that cracked me up
I surprisingly get the "but plants have feelings too" the most ......
This says the most about how dumb people are when you put them in a corner !
Yeah, plants are living things too, so.. They have feelings.. They need basic things to survive like everyone else
They don't have feeling in the same way that a sentient beings do. If you take away a mothers calf she will cry and scream ! If you pluck a carrot from out off the ground you don't see anything happen even if look very closely!
Alanna Bayse ino rite
MikasaAckerman they are not sentient
Most plants rely on being eaten to spread their seeds.
it is so funny how everyone keeps complaining that vegans are preachy, like if christians do not wear any cross “preaching” they are christians or if they do not wear any t-shirts sometimes about god, like if any fan of a team sport or band does not ever wear a t-shirt, like people do not wear bacon t-shirts, like people do not wear political t-shirts, is any of this wrong or preachy or is it just people expressing their likes and beliefs like they are supposed to? why vegans cant expose their beliefs, the t-shirt clearly does not say “vegans are better people“ “you should be vegan” blah blah blah, it just says vegan or anything related to veganism and is not like they wear this every day of their lives so why you are so freaking determined to find a problem to veganism? As someone said in the commments this is obvs a vegan ir says in the titles then why are you here arguing? i didnt know that shoving believes in face to someone is posting a youtube video or any social media sharing about it? who is here putting you a gun into your head and saying if you are not vegan you die? So funny how people that are not vegans complain about that when they basically do the same thing with their beliefs... you are just trying to find excuses...
Being preachy and judgmental is different than expressing and sharing your beliefs.
and why cant vegans express their beliefs?
Q:Where do you get your protein?
A:I don't know, maybe peanut butter, lentils, almonds, Quinoa, pine nuts, oatmeal, walnuts, bean sprouts, sunflower seeds, avocado, peas, sesame seeds, hemp seeds, almond milk, brown rice, black eyes peas, green beans, broccoli, black beans, cashews, figs, veggie burgers, whole wheat bread, pinto beans, almond butter, peanuts, breakfast cereal, kale, chickpeas, kidney beans, cauliflower, pistachios, Brussels sprouts, Lima beans, pecans, macadamia nuts, coconuts, and pretty much anything else made from plants.
Most people don't like all of those.
it's not even about 'liking' it, animals don't like being killed but hey ho
Ed Winters brought up a good point about the desert island argument: if there is an animal, there are plants somewhere near.
I'm vegetarian, not vegan, but I still get some of theese. People always say 'oh, but meat is really nice, and it's gonna die anyway' and aaaaagh it's so annoying! The first thing they say is 'Wait, you're vegetarian?!?' And its like, and it matters because? They also seem to have a hard time wrapping their head around it. I explain its because I don't agree with eating anything it was once living, it makes me feel sick, and they come out with 'but the animal will die anyway, but it tastes so good, but what is the point...' And it drives me round the bloody bend. And some people are plain insensitive. I get stuff like 'I wouldn't ever date a vegetarian, I have vegetarians, vegetarians are so stupid' and the list goes on
If you do this, don't... It doesn't matter about whether we want to eat meat or not, it's none of your business, just think about what you say
This is a genuine story: my friend decided to become vegetarian and then unknowingly managed to eat like 5 chicken skewers?? Then a week later we were at lunch and she started talking about how she had been vegetarian for a few days now and we look down at her plate and she had got every meat offered??? She didn't realise too??? It was such an odd situation she genuinely did not recognise that she was eating meat????
Bridie O'Dare did you eventually tell her? :0
derpapixie awaywithunow of course! She's given up on the idea now, still not sure how she didn't realise
Bridie O'Dare lmao
Things I’m tired of hearing from anyone: condescension. Whether you’re vegan, pescatarian, vegetarian, gluten free by choice, or even if you’re a meat eater that’s clogging the arteries with a burger a day... I don’t really care as long as you don’t push your own personal choices on me and talk down to me. Sanctimony and sententious rhetoric are the absolute worst fucking traits in existence and meat eaters and vegans and everyone inbetween can be guilty of it.
What Kitten said
Vegans don't try to do so because they wanna annoy you, they do it because they don't want anyone to support animal abuse or die early
Bruh, I’ve been vegan for about 3 years and I hear all of these comments all the time. It’s hillarious how acurate this was.
Alicia Robinson Shut up
Black Jesus exactly....
You look pretty upset
My pet peeves are
So what can u eat?
What can I give u when u come to my house !?
Why did u become vegan?
Are u still vegan?
Oh wait you can't have that!
When they think u love salad and salad is all you eat 😑
When they don't like u Cus they think u are gonna lecture them ? 😂
There are so many more as well but These are a few
I'm vegetarian, not vegan, my pet peeves are:
⊙What do you eat then?
⊙The animals are going to die anyway...
⊙But meat tastes really good!
⊙Animals were put on the earth for us to eat...
⊙People waving meat in my face
⊙WAIT, YOU'RE VEGETARIAN?!?
⊙Them: Can I have some sausage
Me: sure!
Them: Ooh, this is nice, what type?
Me: Quorn...
Them: EWWWWWQ QUORN!
Me: but you liked it....
Them: EWWWWW
ME: -_-
⊙No offence, I wouldn't date anyone vegetarian (actually get this, it's ducked up)
⊙I hate vegetarians
⊙Stop acting as if we're evil for eating meat omg (even when I don't)
Them
Fancy vlogs by Katherine what can I give you? Is a caring question wtf
Most of these are genuine questions, I think your problem lies with you.
So what can you eat? My answer... “ever heard of oranges and apples? They have rice and beans for vegans you might have never tried it. Like sandwiches and subs.... but without animal products.”
Well it is, when it's asked the first time. Sometimes you visit someone, and they make all of this fuss about not being able to serve you any food, like it's the end of the world, or something. Then you calmly explain that you can eat anything made of plants, or even just one plant, like an apple, I would be happy having just an apple. And you visit the next time, and the same story. It gets annoying sometimes.
Can we talk about how beautiful the man with the purple shirt on? He is so pure? So perfect? Oh my gosh? He's beautiful. He's vegan. Oml
Everyone always says "if you had to eat meat or else all your friends die, would you do it?" or "would you eat meat for a million dollars" I'm just like no. No I wouldn't and that would never even happen tf.
If you would rather let living humans die than eat *A PART* of an already dead animal, you are a phycopath.
@@nicolai6257 😂 then i recommend not living in the woods cus you would die by day 3.
YeetMeatToFeet please shut up lmao
Guys, it makes sense why they said that. I mean, those are some bad friends. Also, they were joking. It’s obvious that they would say that to their friends cuz they were annoyed by their rude behavior.
That desert thing annoys me. Because in India, in rajasthan there are alot of people from desert who are Jains and are vegan and have awesome food options. Pachkoota is one of them.
“But you’re black”. 😂😂😂 CKASSic! I get that one ALL-THE-TIME!!
ive never gotten that one
It annoys me that people say if you eat meat you can't love animals.
I am vegan and love my cat, a carnivore. I loved him before I woke up and became vegan. Those are not contradicting things. I think their point is more along the lines of how the thousands of animals a meat eating human living in society consumes per year are not loved, how that person does not even think of those animals, how that person is apathetic to the plight of hundreds of billions of animals being born to die every year. You can eat meat and love your dog, but you can't eat meat and love every animal you eat without it affecting you negatively. To feel nothing if you loved those you ate.....then you would be a sociopath. Or maybe just numb to it, if you were forced to eat meat and your will to live made you comply...
Same way I would be devastated if I ate my much loved cat.
Same
if vegans and vegetarians can mind their own business then why can't meat eater do that?smh
they can?
Both sides should be allowed to go about their daily lives without being judged on what they eat. I'm not judging what vegans and vegetarians eat, and I'd like to be treated in the same fashion. My life goes on, as do yours.
because it's more than a personal choice since it affects the environment and the animals on a big scale. This doesn't mean it's okay to shame people on both sides.
My top 10 comebacks for the holidays:
1. Leave me alone. I don’t tell you what to do or ask you weird questions.
2. Are you a baby? One which requires breastfeeding? Trust me, you won’t miss cheese.
3. You’re just jealous that you lack moral convictions or willpower/self control.
4. Hey do you eat bananas? Some people don’t. I don’t eat animal products. So...?
5. Us and Them by Pink Floyd is a good song. We are one family.
6. Don’t knock it until you try it, colon cancer boy. [Last 3 words are optional (follows ‘soy boy’)]
7. I get adequate nutrition from a well-balanced, whole food, vegan diet. Where did you study?
8. I just don’t like crappy eggs or shitty milk. Why would you eat a dead animal?!?!?
9. Interesting that nobody thrives on eliminating all plant foods. Not recommended.
10. All I wish is that non-vegans would shut up about vegans. It’s all they ever talk about.
What about the, “Oh I’m vegan too! Except I eat bacon. And fish. And I’m only vegan on mondays and fridays.”
Nobody does that. The word smoker and vegan are not interchangeable
chorro Trust me, they are to some people. I know that being vegan is a life style, it’s not like smoking. But I’ve been vegan for 14 years and I’ve ran into so, so many people who believe it is. Is possibly one of the most annoying things too.
bee you must be in an insane asylum
Craziest one I've heard ( probably a last resort response) "my food eats your food!"
If you can watch an animal die and think “that’s my burger”
You. Need. Help.
for real!
like you can just eat a cow like that its gotta be processed and cooked up to perfection
No. This is how our ancestors lived. If people didn’t have this mentality the human race would cease to exist.
Verity Britcliffe wtf is wrong with you?
@@danielbergeespe1636, what's wrong with YOU!? All animals deserve to live happy, "a pig is a cow, is a lamb, is a wolf, is a bear, is a boy" that is one of the best quotes to know when comparing species, face facts: WE ARE EVIL
Atlas we are evil? so in your opinion all predators in nature are evil? and who tf compares a pig to a boy? you are sick like every other vegan, mankind have eaten meat in all the time we have lived, even the first humans were meat eaters. It is completely normal and not evil to eat meat. animals are simply not worth as much because they dont live that long and dont do much on this earth. animals such as cows, sheep and pigs are meant for feeding humans because they have evolved for it and couldnt survive without humans. its just how everything have evolved because humans have keps animals to feed them as long ss the time shows
”plants have feelings" so do vegans...?
