So about a month ago I started a run of interviews that I wasn't quite sure I was going to do until the last minute because I knew that my granddaughter would be born sometime in May. Things worked out to where I could make it to the Farb Fest after she was born and get my first run of interviews started for this year. I had been on the road for about a week and a half prior to getting to Mike. I was hoping I could do a little dance with Mike to his theme song and make a personal appearance in this video with him. So I grew a beard in anticipation of this and because it seemed fitting now that I'm a grandfather. I also wanted Mike to play a little song since like me he is a musician. And I thought it would be cool if he whipped something up in the kitchen dressed silly to fit his fun personality into the mix. But he is such a busy guy! Every day of the week it seems he has something athletic to engage in plus family and friends to juggle and of course his TH-cam channel to keep running. So we had just enough time to fit this interview in pretty tight within his schedule!
That run of interviews started with a 15-hour drive from home to Kansas where I was for about a week, then Iowa, Chicago, Michigan, Ohio, Kentucky, and Tennessee before returning back to North Carolina. It was one of my most productive runs getting about 31 interviews in the can. A half dozen of those interviews were restaurants that were in route. I noticed a pattern of success stories that galvanized these restaurants into existence as a way of giving back to their community and educating others.
I need to thank my friend Jessica Lannine, Huyen Tran, Shanti, and Mike for helping along the way to make this a more productive run than usual. Typically I have to do this completely alone which really can wear me down emotionally. But this time I was able to stay out of a dark place with friends to interact with along the way and help here and there. Anywho, I hope this interview with magic Mike turned out good enough considering how awesome he is and how starstruck I was making it a little more challenging than usual. Thanks for watching and commenting! I really hope I can break 100,000 subscribers this year. It's a dream of mine to get that youtube plaque! But more importantly reach as many people as I can. I have some exciting content I'm looking forward to transitioning into later this year. But before I begin moving in that very honed in direction I still have quite a few more interviews to get out of the way that will be nice to set the premise for what's to come! 💚
I'm glad you two found a way to get together to create this video. I hope your upcoming endeavor allows you to travel far less, and get some well-deserved REST! What you've done here on your channel so far with these interviews is so important, and I can't wait to see how it pans out for you in your next area of focus.
@@iamdebmiller that's so sweet of you! thank you! maybe you've heard the saying though, "there ain't no rest for the wicked" so there ain't no rest for me, not for a while anyways! :) Thanks for being such an awesome part of the community here and getting in early on RaisingChildrenVegan.com! I can't wait to get back to that! :)
@@VeganLinked Thanks for creating an awesome community! 😃

I became vegan last year, whilst in recovery from cancer. I ate less and less meat (concerned about the links with cancer) and then came across research that suggested a link between dairy and breast cancer. Watching Mic, this channel, PlantChomper and Ed Winters and other vegan influencers who know the research helped me see that a vegan diet was not only good for my health, it was good for the planet and for the animals. Its the animals who keep me on the vegan path - I might take 'risks' for enjoyment but not at the expense of another's life. Its going great!
Beautiful, thanks so much for watching and commenting!
Such a great conversion! Thank you Jeff and Mike!🙏🌱
Great interview - a pleasure to get to know Mic(hael)! better since I've watched his TH-cam videos for years. Thanks!
Same!!!❤
Great background info. Mic's channel is a great resource. Thanks ❤
Thanks for your great content, VeganLinked! And this is such a good interview. Michael made so many awesome videos that helped me to not only stay an ethical vegan, but also stay a healthy vegan! Awesome work! And I think the name "Mic the Vegan" works really well.
Ooo can’t wait to watch this just had to comment first because i love Mikes channel! Thank you for interviewing him and for sharing !
Mic the Vegan is one of the TH-camrs I like to watch the most. I listen to playlists at night when I can't sleep. I'm not saying his voice puts me to sleep, just that he has a calm, well-spoken voice. I also like that he's fact based and provides sources.
seriously I do the same and i'm not even vegan! Something about his videos are so calming.
I wouldn't want to kiss anyone who has death on their breath.
No doubt!
Same, makes finding someone to date more difficult but something I can't look past.
@@adiohead I don't think I could over come my gag reflex.
Yep I don’t enjoy chicken-flavored kisses anymore either.
I'm vegan now, been married for 7 years to my wife whom I met right after going vegan. She isn't vegan. It's hard often times. But I don't judge others. Even if I feel what they're doing is wrong, it's not my place to judge them. Although I will admit, if for any reason I find myself single again, I would only date a vegan
This is waaay cool. One of my favorite influencers. I Love Mic's content!
It was great to have you and next time you will be in the video too for a dance collab Jeff debut lol
I haven't yet watched the video and this comment is raising many questions in my mind.
@@longknoll8065 My pinned comment may help explain. 😁
Didn't know you played ultimate. Really wanna play with you sometime now.
Please do an update on the oil video.
Oh my goodness great collab!!!!💚🤍💙😍
Nice surprise, good to know more about the person behind the videos I watch avidly, enjoy and learn from. 👍😊
The first thing people believe that stop them from going vegan is the simple belief that you need protein to survive. This would imply that if you don’t eat meat you are going to die or be seriously disabled before death. I personally checked my own pulse for two weeks after going vegan as I thought maybe I was gonna miraculously have a random heart attack because I stopped eating meat, understanding and compassion can help us educate, Carbs FTW!! 💪💪💪
:) lol that's what's up! you're not kidding! A teenager/football player came by my house the other day trying to sell bug spray. I said "no thanks, I'm vegan and try not to kill things". He was so surprised that I was alive. It was as if he thought vegan was synonymous with being dead. He ended up asking me every question in the book! We ended up talking about 30 minutes and he didn't bring up the bug spray at all anymore. It was so much fun showing him all the different athletes I've interviewed and being able to respond to everything he asked. I really look forward to doing street activism one day when I have get caught up. I later thought it would be so cool to cross paths again with him in like ten years and see if our conversation had any impact on his life. :)
Which is totally stupid since Lots of plant based protein exists.
In fact, most of the protein supplements taken by people who build muscle is plant based.
And the protein requirements Overall are low.
Great interview! I recently subbed and you're nailing it! Mic's approach with rounded science coupled with his humorous side is awesome. Pretty sure I found him, through Ryan and Anji👍 Those guys are amazing.
As someone trained in accredited nutrition with focus on SIBO/Dysbiosis, I'm guilty of getting in the comments from time to time and shutting down the pseudoscience. Things like lectins and pytates fear mongering and anti-nutrient garbage grind my gears.
"The ex vegan exhale" I always thought of it as a psychological response, almost a placebo effect if you will, however, the "weight lifted" makes perfect sense.
Yay! Glad the algorithm knew I’d want to see this
I so appreciate you all talking about influencers. I had no idea! I like broadening my horizons like listening to MictheVegan! Great vid!
Thanks so much for watching and commenting! So glad you found some inspiration 🙂
Great video - love the work that both of you do.
thanks so much :)
Mic Yeah!
Magic Mic!
Yayyyyyyy 🎉 Mic!!! 👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻
Almost first 😉
Wooooohooooo! Lemme grab a smoothie and settle in, I've been waiting for this 👍
I like the proof with simon hill as well
So many are in deep denial of the truth regarding animal flesh and dairy, while the stories, rumors, and powerful interests keep pushing the false narrative.
Great episode, watched mic a lot when I first went vegan
Super. I love Mic's videos ✨
Thanks for another interesting interview; Mike's videos have been a really helpful resource for me so it's good to learn more about the man behind them.
Love Mic! 🙌🙌🙌
What a thumbnail! ❤
💚💚💚🌱🌱🌱
I'm loving this interview 🙌
22:43 I agree with Eric about why more vegan restaurants shut down due to inflation. In addition to that, vegans only make up between 1 to 4% of the population in North America, so vegan businesses have a much smaller pool to draw from. For now.
28:54 now subscribed to Angie Sadeghi 😊
Really great interview ❤❤❤
Yay love this!!
Mike is a very nice person that inspired me to go Whole Foods plant based along with McDougall, Esselstyn And doctors like greger.
I fixed my cholesterol when I was 48 which was seven years ago. It was so dramatic dropping from 210 to 120 in my weight drop 50 pounds. My blood pressure dropped to normal and so did my resting heart rate. Both were controlled by a previously medication, but I don’t have to take any longer.
This can be done by almost anyone with those types of issues with Dr. supervision of course.
I’m still healthy although my diastolic is 83 which it should be less than 80 so it’s slightly elevated my waist to hip is at or possibly even slightly above .5 and I always like to keep that below .5 which is an indicator of good health.
knock the salt out maybe? Be careful with salt!
@@VeganLinked I measure it daily so I get about 1200 mg of salt. I think it has helped. Thanks for the tip.
When I was young, bread with butter and sugar was a normal breakfast for us!
Funny, I remember eating white bread with pancake syrup and thinking that was breakfast
Chicken = Fowl
Chicken Eggs = Menstrual in a Shell
Knowledge is a Super Power
Plants you eat - man-made and never existed in nature until humans cultivated them
@@KK-lg8uz That seems a weird way to defend eating chicken periods.
@@nottoberemembered you’re lost.
@@KK-lg8uz Don’t think so. There are several cultures around the world who have been vegetarian for generations. My own son is vegan from birth and thriving. You would dismiss all that because we have selectively bred plants? We’ve done the same thing with the animals people eat.
Do you eat plants yourself? What about drink or smoke them? Or are you ‘full’ carnivore?
@@KK-lg8uz Nor did the animals exist that we eat today. Chickens that fall over because their breasts grow enormous in a very short amount of time; that lay 300 eggs per year; sheep that don’t shed; cows that give mind boggling amounts of milk etc. etc.
good video Mic!
loved this video thanks i really enjoy MictheVegan's content he does a really good job I think better than anyone on youtube with a larger audience
Living with a parrot I can tell you that birds are extremely self aware and emotional
birds are so amazing!

Same some?

Hey! If you have some lifelong vegans there for me to interview I would love to come interview them and their parents for future releases focused on that! Or if you have something significant you think I should cover for this channel let me know. VeganLinked.com/contact
That sounds like a pirate utopia.
@@d.rabbitwhite eutopia
would it be good to replace rice with another 255 gram serving of beans? i like beans way more than rice but i eat rice cuz i hear whole grain helthy would it be healthier to eat more beans instead? i would love that
I try getting a variety of grains and legumes. I don't eat a lot of rice, I eat kamut, groat oats, farro, etc. and save rice for when I'm eating out or eating an amy's enchilada dish and for legumes I try to eat lentils, black beans, soy, etc...
While worrying about food combining may or may not be really all that necessary, it's said that between legumes and grains you get a nice balanced dose of all the amino acids/proteins you need. I tend to eat grains for breakfast and legumes for lunch/diner. Dr Greger's daily dozen ap is free and backed by some pretty comprehensive nutritional science. I think he recommends getting 3 servings of each, although, that seems like a lot for me. But I probably do good getting a balance. I don't weigh what I eat, I did for a bit when I was toying with Bryan Johnson's diet. I may try again. But, I think learning to eat intuitively, not too much, not too late is key. A lot of things seem to be pointing at breakfast being most important and lunch being really more like dinner and cutting off early is ideal. Like Dr Greger says, breakfast like a king, lunch like a prince, and dinner like a pauper. But, I'm beginning to think skip dinner if you're not hungry 4 to 6 hours before going to bed. Bryan Johnson cuts off at 2 pm I think. The 100 year old Dr. John Scharffenberg does the same thing. Even Sadh Guru says going to bed hungry can solve most of our problems :)
I may not have necessarily answered your question, but that's just my take on it... intuitive eating is kind of like an art. It's a legit thing really, the book on it is fascinating. Kind of like hara hachi bu too
I thought I was low in Omega 3 but my insurance would not pay for the test. I ordered the test myself and discovered I was low. I started Vegan Omega 3 and 3 months later I retested. The 2nd test came back normal.
cool, we don't really know what that means it means to increase omega 3 serum levels but I can only assume it translates into a good thing :)
It would have been cool also to see if maybe just making some changes in your diet would have done the trick. I actually ordered the omega-3 tests from Dr Fuhrman. But I want to take more than one test and get results from different Labs to see how consistent they are. And it would be also neat to Do this after consistently consuming whole plant foods properly for at least 6 months. And then test again after another 6 months or a year of adding things like chlorella and other sources of potentially long chain fatty acids. And then based on all of these results consider doing a supplement and testing again after 6 months. But again I don't really know if increasing serum levels translates into something meaningful for your heart or brain. I say this because Dr Tim Radak has done extensive research on this and I have a video several years old now that explains the science from his Research and perspective and conclusion was if you eat whole plant foods you'll likely be fine even with low conversion and even without trying to get certain omega-3 rich foods. But there's so much controversy around this topic that it's hard to know for certain what to make of it all. And I'm not really all that certain there are studies that have thoroughly hashed out the difference between somebody eating a proper whole Food vegan diet and someone supplementing and comparing the two for long-term Health outcomes. And maybe even comparing them to say a pescatarian...
Microphone the vegan xD
🔥🔥🔥🔥
❤🌱🌱
I would have been interested in hearing you guys talk about the Starch Solution diet and John and Mary McDougall.
What would you want us to talk about that for? Like what question do you have in mind?
@@VeganLinked About how they talk about low fat being key in the diet. They say to eat nuts instead of nut oil, eat olives instead of olive oil, and eat avocado instead of the oil. Also, how starch is a staple and then nonstarchy vegetables. So much conflicting information out there that it's confusing. My beliefs lean to what they say but I like to hear it from multiple sources. I also follow Chef AJ and Healthy Emmie who follow their approach. You didn't mention any of them so I was wondering if you disagree.

Ultimate frisbee!

Cereal dosent exist.... Nor the Dog food 😲🙆🤷🤦
Yeah I couldn't find the dog food brand online at all
Just get v-dog
.
Hi i was vegan for 2 years i eat walnuts organic cereal penut butter kidney beans salad not all the time and animals sometimes but i miss vegan 😊!!$$
Why would you start eating animals again?
I guess I got tired of eating same food but can i ask u a question can i eat yogurt at night to fall asleep and continue my vegan lifestyle??$$😊
@@vickenbastajian2369 there's tens if not hundreds of thousands of Vegan whole Food options to choose from especially when you start experimenting with different recipes. There's no reason to needlessly harm animals because you can't figure out how to be more creative with legumes, greens, grains, fruits, veggies, mushrooms, nuts, seeds, herbs and spices and a variety of each. It's better for you to develop a sophisticated palette rather than a lazy one that requires body parts, organs and secretions. And it's also better for the animals, the environment, etc. There are vegan yogurts. But you can also learn to go to sleep without having to eat something first. It's probably not a healthy habit. But if you don't care about health then that doesn't matter I suppose. Try learning to make food about health and fuel to do great things. It's May involve going to bed on an empty stomach And getting the bulk of your calories in the morning. Like Dr Greger says eat breakfast like a king, lunch like a prince, and dinner like a pauper 🙂 let me know if you have any more questions! And please don't take offense to what I'm saying I'm just trying to be straight up! Hope you have a beautiful day And learn to love things that love back
NO Thank-you so much for describing in detail facts about vegan lifestyle and how it benefits humans in the long run and animals and planet 😊!!$$
@@vickenbastajian2369 Don't get me wrong, there is a learning curve for everybody. Even I am learning ways to step up my game constantly. There's really nothing better to invest in than my health and impact on others. So I enjoy the challenges 💚 once you go vegan though really there's no turning back because it's an ethical, moral obligation that makes you vegan and then you find a way to make the diet and lifestyle work.
Carnivore diet healed me!
Do you agree it's wrong to hurt animals unnecessarily?
@lifetrekering It won’t contribute to your health in the long run, though.
@@VeganLinked Plants are sentient, or have plant-specific sentience, because they have complex sensory systems and exhibit traits associated with personhood.
Growing fruits and vegetables requires the mass use of pesticides to kill millions (closer to BILLIONS) of birds and other animals to prevent them from destroying crops. Harvesting these crops, meanwhile, maims or kills field mice and other animals caught in the path of the machines.
So unless you never shop for food, you can stop with the killing/hurting notion.
I like Mic but that first 15 seconds made me want to gag.
Why does it matter why you went vegan, Mic stating "selfish reasons". Who cares? The outcome is still the same.
That kind of talk is what turns some people off to even talking about veganism and implies that if you don't do it for the right reason you are inferior.
If someone is not eating animals, wearing animals, etc. why would it matter if are about their lives being of higher importance? You can be vegan without falling into the trap of thinking that animals and humans are equal. Dare I quote the vegan society definition of veganism? No, I shall:
""Veganism is a philosophy and way of living which seeks to exclude-as far as is possible and practicable-all forms of exploitation of, and cruelty to, animals for food, clothing or any other purpose; and by extension, promotes the development and use of animal-free alternatives for the benefit of animals, humans and the environment. In dietary terms it denotes the practice of dispensing with all products derived wholly or partly from animals.""
You can do all of those things all the while caring about your health and your family's health first.
They aren't mutually exclusive or one path being superior to the other when the ultimate end is exactly the same - less suffering, no more wasting land space for feed crops and livestock grazing. No overfishing anymore. No raising animals for their pelts to wear or their meat to eat.
Literally trillions of lives spared via either path.
I don't know what to tell you about you not understanding why it's important to hear why other people go vegan.
Your logic doesn't appear consistent, how is doing it for selfish reasons something that's going to turn people off? Other people have done it for selfish reasons, for example Chef Babette, a lot of people are very vain. How is wanting to protect yourself against getting Alzheimer's something that would turn people off?
I don't know why you feel the need to quote the definition of veganism, do you really think we don't know what the definition is? I mean he goes into the ethical component which is very much implied in the definition of veganism. Maybe if you get past the first 15 seconds you will understand things better. It's pretty odd that you felt like you needed to share the definition of veganism here. I guess you think this is the first video I've ever made and I've only been vegan a week or something... Perhaps you should dig a little deeper before commenting on people's videos. I have a format and I have it for a reason if you don't like it, again maybe you should start your own channel. It's a very obvious thing for me to do, ask people why they went vegan. There was even a pamphlet made by vegan outrage called "why vegan" that helped many people go vegan explaining why people go vegan. When people understand why people do things they have the ability to consider doing those things. Please spare me the negativity, I do all this on my own and it's a lot of work. Apparently you don't appreciate it but about 86,000 other people do. No one ever pleases everyone. I get thousands of comments, many of which are people who are not vegan being very negative. So no more negativity please.
The question of why fits perfectly with the title "How Mic Removed His Meat Goggles" definitely benefits from setting this up with why he went vegan.
I care. I have watched mic's videos for years and hearing his background stuff was interesting to me. Also selfish isn't inherently a bad thing. In this case it was making the point of coming to it in a way different from many vegans. I think it odd that it was so repellent to anyone, but ok.
I also don't give two cents about the official definition. I have my own ethos. I do think that nonhumans are equal to humans in that all have a right to live as they would.
In another vegan interview this woman told the story of vegans who were very ethical and they were into streets out reach work and saving animals yet these people returned to eat meat now they are no long vegan it is really strange and scary to think they believed in being vegan and did not want to cause animals to suffer now they have turned their backs on been vegan and now they have gone back to been a meat eating and drinking milk products.
Right on, I'm glad I don't know any of those kind of people...
The human psyche is very adaptable. Deeply internalized values are really, really rare. Under pressure, most people will slide back to whatever society has established as the norm
@@Limemill If that was the case we would never change but we do. And that's why so many people are successfully Vegan for so long and many more are especially being born this way
@@Limemill you're just rambling nonsense. Please stay relevant, i don't have time for off track, negative theories especially when they are not grounded in reality
@@VeganLinked that’s quite a lot of unwarranted anger directed at me, it seems? Unfortunately, most vegans DO slide back, we have the studies. Just like most keto heads do and, in fact, most people who are not one way or another in line with society’s existing norms. And yes, at some point in time, every now and then there comes a push for a change in society, after which new generations are raised in this new reality and therefore form the basis of this new, slightly better society. And often changes for the good coincide with the improved circumstances / standard of living. Just like humans, en masse, turn to crime when their conditions are bad and stop committing crimes when their conditions improve (situational need / opportunity is the factor that is statistically correlated the most with prevalence of crime). These are the averages. Still, there’s always a minority that goes against the grain and vegans today is one such minority. But for it to become a majority, I bet it will be due to governments too afraid to challenge the oil industry but willing to promote plant based eating to fight climate change just like they did with recycling. Ethics will be a distant third or fourth consideration. Which is fine as long as most people do the switch and the animal product industry dies or almost dies
Great interview!
