Why COP27 Refused To Discuss Food...

- เผยแพร่เมื่อ 9 ก.พ. 2025
- It was great to speak at COP27. But not so great to go around the stalls, which were nearly exclusively (apart from ProVeg International and a couple of others) talking about fossil fuels. In this vlog, I explore this topic and ask people what they think the single biggest thing we can do to reduce our impact (as individuals) on the climate. Hope you enjoy! - Klaus Mitchell

It’s like having a conference on lung cancer yet allowing people to smoke cigarettes at the indoor meetings
what?! you're still vegan?! wow, you really amaze me! do you think it will last til the end of this year?
@@v.a.n.e.
I’ve been vegan for years
@@vietnamd0820
that's what I thought. it's time to give up. you have been a martyr long enough; leave it to the younger generations
Great analogy @Be Vegan And Prosper.
It's the very least we can do
_And_ everyone there not even knowing that it causes lung cancer.
I grew up in a Caribbean island on rice and beans. Saying being vegan is a privilege is absurd.
So how many years has it been since you ate an egg or any kind of meat?
Which vitamins do you take?
@@sueme1954 my entire lifetime. I take the normal vitamins D3 and B12.
exactly ;D
Different countries have different ability to farm food. Desert countries like the Middle East can’t farm as much and rely on animals to stay alive. With modern developments, however, we should be able to find ways to get more plant options for these countries, like hydroponics.
@@magnanimae5408 yup!
“Veganism is wrong because it’s for privileged people only!”… few seconds before: “people should put solar panels on their homes” 🙃🙃🙃.
Thank you for your patience and for speaking out about this problem 🙏, I can’t imagine the amount of frustration you felt, but don’t worry, we are millions of people fighting for this cause, even if we don’t use suits or go to fancy summits, we are here changing things from the bottom 💪.
Right after that too she said poor people have to eat plants because they are cheaper. lol Entirely defeating her previous point that eating plants is priviledged.
Smh right so I'm privileged to be able to be plant based but reality is your privileged to put solar panels on your home. But at the end of the day people need to start growing food at home
Right! And what about people like me who live in an apartment? How the heck am I supposed to have a solar panel?
And then there is the concern on how solar panels are made. I admittedly haven't done the research on them but are making them worse for the environment than the benefit for having them?
I got a quote for solar panels on my house, 23,000 pounds.... Yeah no worries mate...
@@playjazz87 👌👏👏 plain and simple 👏
10:55 She says eating vegan comes from a privileged point of view
11:54 Yet she says Egypt is largely plant-based because it's the cheaper option
Wow. She contradicted herself. Amazing...
Then also says people should buy solar panels and new cars... wait a second? 😆
She probably believes the Egyptian population is treated unfairly because they can’t afford to consume more meat.
@@leafybrew077 I know right? WTF.... These peeople are dumb af...
none of these young women that are there, were supposed to be there. they are too young and naive to be discussing such lofty topics ....
not a contradiction, a nuanced explanation is given. it is a privledge in most societies. meat is calorie dense which is also a contributing factor why plant based is for privledged in most societies.
I attented COP in Paris and there was not one vegan menu at all. I just surived with side dishes
The Connections (2021) [short documentary] 🔥
Embarrassing as a species..
And I am very sorry 😂
@@robinjames7967 to whom?
@@Amza440 pretty much everyone featured in this video bar claus.. facepalm material.. these are the people who are meant to be educated on the subject.
I could feel your frustration through the screen Klaus but no matter how futile it must have felt you made a stellar job! Change is coming and it's because of heroes like you
Are you for real do you want to be owened by the WEF you will own nothing and be happy when you are a useless eater you will be removed from the planet ,I give up be careful what you wish for I'm a vegan who wants my family to have freedom and be alive .
I absolutely couldn't do what Klaus did. They are so determined to believe what they want to believe.
This is very true. All of us who are activists must know that change isn't happening as fast as we'd like it but it is happening. We must keep on.
Well said!
This is like a comedy. Hard to believe all those people ignoring the problem number one.
These are the people in charge of helping our environment... We're screwed. 👋
No, you have it wrong. WE are all in charge of helping our environment.
@@zola-yk8tf What he meant was that of those people are so clueless then we are screwed.
It is so depressing that the awareness is so weak and that most of the people can't join the dots and understand where is the biggest problem
Its like the matrix. The narcissism and dis-education of society assures that we dont want to understand as we go with the group for fear of being othered. Klaus seems to not mind being othered. Ive kind of learned to take it as a directional cue almost. As if the more people are trying to ignore,deny, and muddy the subject the closer I may be to direction.
The biggest Problem is overpopulation.
More people consume more of everything.
Eating plant based is great, but at the same time people should consider smaller families.
@@CordeliaWagnerThe biggest problem is people consuming too much and too inefficiently. I agree we should have fewer kids and I am having none although capable. When the western coountries consume multiples more than the other 6.8 billion and the 6.8 billion dont all have electricity, Id say its consumption. The world would almost function if that was the motivation but no matter which animal muscle, milk or egg, or fish you consume, its outsized. It takes multiples of water and feed that could be fed to humans to produce the same amount of calories. So we have enough food and water now for every human on earth but, humans insist on having an animal meal so ten+ times the grains, water, fertilizers, etc are used for the incredibly selfish humans to have what they think they want. Were not smart and were taught adn steered what to want. Look into Edward Bernays. The social engineering is what keeps us toddlers. Also while over population is a problem too, its really about us being horrible narcissists and only thinking of the effect on we humans vs the lives being tormented ad killed for any amount of people. Iluusory superiroity just cause we can and other creatures on this alien planet only being worth what we can use them for. Modern day inter-species slavery.
Its kinda like only caring about our family, our country, our state instead of anyone outside of that becasue we cant see the value or lack the imagination to. Consume less, consume better and stop having kids as its cruel to have them for your completeness as they will have challenges that modern parents only pay lip service to. Having kids to struggle and suffer. Some people are not educated and their world veiw is small. Kinda like how I dont hold starving people to the same obligation as the entitled over consumer.
It's like when I watched a pandemic documentary at the start of COVID. These scientists were talking about how there was a new avian influenza outbreak while sitting down to a huge table of chicken dinner! That very scene was so bizarre to me it actually got me to stop buying animal products. I was like, "Wait, so they KNOW chickens are infected with diseases and spread them to us and they still eat them?? HOW??" The documentary was called "Pandemic: How to Prevent an Outbreak" and I was like, "Aren't they CAUSING outbreaks by eating chickens? How is this preventing an outbreak?"
I dunno, there was just something about it where my brain wouldn't accept that level of cognitive dissonance. So it was my wake-up and yet the scientists in the very documentary were just as blind as ever.
@@suicune2001 Welcome top reality. Its very lonely and grim here.
i'm from Brazil, a country runned by meat industry. This industry destroyed the Atlantic Forest, the Brazilian Savanna... and almost 20% of Amazon. I worked in COP8 in Brazil...I don't see any change ....it is depressing !!
I'm so sorry... Change is coming but it's too late for many precious assets of our world😥
This is why I have no hope for the future, even the people who are supposed to fight against global warming wont even aknowledge the elephant in the room.
Its ok my friend, it's not like you are immortal.
Fossil Fuels?
don't look up vibes for sure
Ya,, let everyone else take care of the problem," but I need my burger"
Thanks for your work in this. We're all behind you!
the lazy-liberal stereotype rears its ugly head
I’m losing faith in humanity
Stunning to see these people "engaging in change". Noone however is willing to engage on an individual level.
This is another reason why 'the leaders' so called all have to go. None of them lead by example, quite the reverse.
This is why we’re heading for certain doom, just accept it. Humans won’t change. Humans are too stupid to save themselves.. no other way to say it..
And the left wonders where that "lazy liberal" stereotype comes from.
@@rasputozen just lazy human mentality... lazy, ignorant and narcissistic.
Focusing on individualism lets multinational corporations and governments off the hook
Good to see some representation for plant based eating at the COP27. I'm from an indigenous culture and it always makes me feel disappointed in fellow indigenous people to see them disengage with conversations because they are offended.
Vegans understand that where meat is a necessity plant based eating is more difficult, but that doesn't make it morally justified for those who don't need meat to survive to use that as a moral justification!!!!
Never ceases to amaze me how many so-called/self-proclaimed environmentally-conscious people have no idea what harms the environment the most, and how _they_ can make the most difference. Even if you give them the facts, they're not interested in making any individual changes in their own lives.
perhaps because your ideologically driven facts do not correspond to reality?
Willful ignorance is bliss.
@ It sure is
@@v.a.n.e. that wouldn’t be a bad take if it wasn’t incorrect…
what is "that"? my question in its entirety, or 'ideologically driven facts'? I guess it's not my question, since questions can't be incorrect @@elfullin
"I dare you to speak to indigenous people about meat" - imagine so confidently appropriating an indigenous person's experience to justify your own needless consumption of meat
She probably was indigenous, to be fair.
@@tobbs5410 Even so, if she could afford to attend this conference, she is probably not one of those who are eating meat out of necessity.
This ❤
The planet is definitely concerned about infinite consumption under the belief of infinite growth and profit. That is true whether it is animal, plant, fungi, virus or bacteria. Needless is Any Overconsumption. Sustainability is an additional dimension as well. The potential pitfalls, but importantly the potential benefits plant based eating could make to man made climate change should have been welcomed and supported in the name of environmental systems sustainability.
Don’t most indigenous populations eat meat?
That was honestly painful to watch. We're so fucked. It was nice having a livable planet while it lasted.
My ears are in pain when listening to all these ignorants who say that food does not matter or has low impact on climate. Good job Klaus.
It's absolutely crazy that people think its more realistic for everyone to drive an electric car, rather than just buying rice and beans instead of meat and cheese.
Elon Musk has won...
And he is against public transportation....
everyone driving an electric car will make things worse. the world doesn't have enough space for all those cars and roads. we need more focus on public transport _immediately._
Buying rice and beans makes you priviliged unlike owning an EV.
Wow people in the mayor environment protection conference didn’t realize and don’t know their facts !! So surprised!
This is why we’re heading for certain doom, just accept it. Humans won’t change. Humans are too stupid to save themselves.. no other way to say it..
But they know a lot about posturing and virtue signaling.
People are happy to talk about change, as long as it's not a change they have to make...
This was a real eye opener. I truly thought that if someone went to COP27 they would know about the impact of Animal Agriculture on the planet. I am truly surprised and disappointed. We have a lot of work to do. Thank you so much for working so hard and for going to COP27. I will share this everywhere I can here in Costa Rica.
It has no impact. Don't fall for this nonsense. It was already debunked by real science.
@@kudr66 Cite your sources, the only people I can find that agree with you work for the beef and dairy industry.
@@jean6453 For example: "Relative Potency of Greenhouse Molecules", Wijngaarden, Happer, 2021
@@jean6453 The above-mentioned study is exceptionally good, because their calculations precisely match radiation observed from space.
@@kudr66 I will read it , thanks
I absolutely LOVED that cowardly act at the end. "I dare you to talk to the indigenous groups about meat". Yeh, then she walks away faster than a speeding bullet. No conversation. No dialogue. Allowing her to feel like she made a point when she made ZERO point. I also loved how the original woman just kind of nervously runs off with her after being essentially rescued from a conversation she was uncomfortable having. Googling away on her phone trying to debunk him whilst he's talking which looked really rude. The cognitive bias is painfully obvious. You can see it on everyone's face. They are ready to discuss how individuals need to make changes...rrrrrriiiiiight up until they find out they might need to change too. Hilarious.
Ok let’s face it that you vegans can get as butthurt as you want. People will always do what they want. Not what you want them to
@@Amza440 The only butthurt people I seen in this video were the non vegans having micro tantrums at someone saying that the animal agriculture industry plays a massive part in climate change and environmental devastation. People don't like hearing things they don't want to be true.
It's not what I WANT them to do either. It's what people NEED to do in order to reverse the damage that is being done to the planet. But I 100% agree with you. People WILL do what they want. Regardless of how it affects people, animals and the planet we live on. And that's the whole problem.
If she genuinely cared about indigenous populations then she would be vegan because her animal based diet is using land, water and crops that takes resources from those indigenous population and makes it more difficult for them survive.
@@Stoic2000I know it’s hard for some people admit it, but mostly people don’t really care about animals compared to having most other things that will help the environment. For me personally food is much more important than anything happening to animals
I'm sorry to say this but she is a vile human
Proud of having humans like Klaus in the community!!! Thank you!!!
We're living in "don't look up".
Yes, but not on this subject.
Need the vegan version of Don't look up with all the vegan actors
People want to change the world without change themselves.
They all want to blame big corps, because that means they don't have to take ANY personal responsibility
Your wrong.. any real change has to be global, every country and industry are responsible - besides us. Everyone is responsible to make change happen. Diet is only one small factor in a sea of factors causing climate change.
Because Big Corps are the biggest factor, or at least a close second
Exactly
Rice and lentils and potatoes is a privilege and steak and shrimp is not? OK.
Looool
08:32 love how he changed the focus from meat/dairy/eggs to food waste lol. But excellent video, shows the massive blind spot in the environmental movement and so many logical holes and inconsistencies and wrong thinking and triggered people i don't know where to start
I liked that too. Like "hey were talking food production" This is the normalized narcissism of our society, go from denial to changing the subject thinking no one will notice or not having an actual stance because youre for hire. So there is no principles, just cant say something that will get my consultant ass canned. Word salad is how we all die.
6:33 is even better with the dude falling asleep - most of them are asleep.
Amazing video and outreach! The woman who said most were there to peacock was right. A lot of noise ABOUT change but no one willing TO change.
who are these people, they do not have a clue, why do they need to be there?
Vegan is so much privilege. That's why I'm eating mashed potatoes and crescent rolls tomorrow.
hmm, potato induces privileges, that's intriguing
Rice Cooker hates me, putting it through the ringer
Keep at it! It took me 47 years to figure it out on my own. Had I known of other vegans, I am positive the change would have clicked a long time ago. I know your frustration because I see what people do/say despite having the information. Most of the time I’ve found many people don’t make the change because of fear of change and not liking to be uncomfortable even if it saves lives, suffering, and improves overall health.
Painful, so painful. My brain was trying to gnaw its way out of my head watching this.
Mine, too. I just wanted to slap most of them and tell them what ignorant hypocrites they were!
hard to take an environmental conference seriously when its sponsored by coca cola
Coca-Cola is a vegan drink (as far as we know).
@ hardly the point. Vegan does not automatically equal environmentally friendly. Coca Cola definitely isn’t.
@@MS-zj3fl, that’s irrelevant because Coca-Cola isn’t promoting any dairy brand at the conference and almost nobody even knows that Coca-Cola owns a dairy brand. You even failed to name it, a sign that it isn’t particularly well-known and that Coca-Cola sponsoring this kind of events isn’t contributing to the brand recognition of that dairy brand.
@@selmalovestodance, Coca-Cola isn’t any less “environmentally-friendly” than most other food companies, including those that boast they’re environmentally-friendly in their advertising or promotion, such as the “best ethical and sustainable coffee brands.” The production of coffee (of any coffee) is much worse for the environment than that of any soft drink made by Coca-Cola. BTW, do you drink coffee?
@@MS-zj3fl coca cola representative has entered the chat 🤣
Great journalism showing the ABSURDITY of governments sending people to those fairs who don't even know what is the issue they are trying to solve.
As a newcomer to plant-based foods, agricultural, environmental, forestry, I am gobsmacked 😲😱about these people who attend COP27 Conference all about climate change. Yet the misinformation about the animal farming, deforestation and fishing industries are not properly covered or addressed. I hadn't realised until now how the ignorance, the denials regarding this aspect wasn't even considered... I am willing to do something for the next Conference to provide awareness in making a contribution to offer these changes to take us seriously. My heart is broken 💔 😢 😞 😔. Tell me what can I do?
While working from home during Covid lockdown, I said the same thing in a corporate e-meeting when we were asked how to reduce carbon print in my company. By changing to plant based is simply the most direct, realistic and effective way to achieve sustainability. Thereafter, I have a long pause and slience. Seemed like nobody understood what I was saying. 😆 😂 but I glad that I had made that statement.
That was so aggravating. Thank you for all your efforts mate!
Keep it up!!!! Bravo!!! "Never doubt that a small group of thoughtful, committed, citizens can change the world. Indeed, it is the only thing that ever has". -Margaret Mead
My biggest impact is to stay childfree.
To not bring more consumers into this world. Each child means a whole lifespan of consumption of ressources.
Second is eating plant based.
Third is being carfree and using public transportation.
Fourth is to buy high quality second hand clothes that I can combine to endless variations of timeless stylish outfits.
All four save me a lot of money by the way.
Would you mind sharing some of your earnings with me? I'm working on a game project and need funding. I'm also vegan.
I'm with you but I think we need more people with integrity and compassion like yourself. Maybe the reason for not having kids goes deeper than that but if that's all it was I'd hope you did have children to help offset the many psychopaths that currently parasitize this earth.
What about low waste or zero waste?
If as a species we stopped having children who would look after us when we require care, our society would crumble. Then you have to think about all of the people that do have children, born to parents who do not have the same mindset of looking after the environment and continue to treat it as a dustbin.
Someone who is educated on climate change?! How nice to see. Keep it up! I'm right there with you.
Thanks Klaus for being so brave and so consistently repeating the unobvious obvious ... I am a German nutrition scientist , working alongside with the international pioneers of a whole food plant based diet (and regenerative chemical free farming) for over 30 years now, like you never stopping to consult individuals, organisations and companies how they can happily shift their diets and end this insane and cruel, planet and health threatening animal torture and exploitation . I am shocked about the amount of ignorance after all these years... . The medical discussions especially in the United States now get weirdly into "meat based" (great Marketing of meat lobby), not addressing how chemical agriculture, food industry and other environmental impacts have impaired our digestive capacity to such an extent that intolerances against many plants occur (and would need professional help which is quite rare...). Very few therapists really are experts in plant based respecting nicrobiome and digestive capacity. Dear vegan community, please do not fall into the trap of highly processed, sugary,, nutrient lacking vegan products that will for sure not keep you healthy. This is best greenwashing for Agrochemical and Food Industry -and the best meat industry can have is unhealthy vegans I am afraid that the vegan labe also for highly processed foodl is contributing to parts of it. I am a member of proveg too, but I would love to see more real nutrition experts help the young generation to create a healthy "new normal". I will do so soon with videos and would be delighted to connect with you for an Intervie or so. I have done the work in practice: with patients, companies, schools for decades. "Exemple is leadership" as Albert Schweitzer stated so wisely. Thank you for your ongoing brave exemple- and thank you all in this community to report and also to film again and again what sins against Mother Nature we call "modern lifestyle ". I feel as young as ever to help the young generation with this transformation.Let us not give up and enjoy the rich and beautiful plant world.
Very enlightened and passionate person. Thank you for your views and expertise.
@@wisdomseeker2512 thanks so very much, at the moment I really need encouragement, all the best to you
@@andreahuber-juerss9681 you mean that nazi klaus shwab and his new world order agenda ?
I am an automatron. I only repeat what my government has trained me to say. Please do not ask me to think. I applaud your ability to keep a straight face, no matter what nonsense these people spew. I would be constantly saying, WTF.
WTF is a normal human response to nonsense expelled from such “caring” environmentalists… Hard to respond in a nice way… Human ignorance bothers me … Great comment! 👍🙏
Frustrating to hear all this, especially by people who should know, given that they are attending a conference all about climate change…and they don’t even understand the biggest driver of it.
The right term to define their attitude is self-righteousness.
You need to review what the "biggest driver' is. Diet is NOT the only driver. If it was, then we would be in good shape! It's frustrating to hear how everyone think that diet is the #1 requirement to help climate change and its not! Educate yourself....
Dang Klaus, giving a COP27 speech! Nice! It is crazy to think that nobody there even has a clue. But it's also inspiring that you are there getting out the word, blowing peoples minds. Keep up the good work dude!
Did he really give a speech, or was he just standing in an empty conference room? Sadly, it seemed the latter to me.
WOW!.. It amazes me how so called environmentalists can’t see the obvious elephant in the room through their oil and gas goggles… Nice job Klaus, you showed a lot more patience than I would have. So much ignorance, it’s criminal. ✌️❤️🌱
They don’t care, no matter what you do, if people don’t want to change they won’t, it’s that simple
17.40 he walked away, clear as day!! He knows that livestock industry is the worst! Great video.
This is really sad and so wrong. This world is fucked....good luck for our next generation...
Its 2022 man, how are these people at the conference not woke yet!? Blows my mind.
it hurts 🌈 thank you for your effort! omg all those people so involved and every single one is like “ahh naaah about this I don’t know anything/ engough about this, so let’s just ignore it for a now…”
you are totally right, it is offensive, sad and depressive. I have no words. we vegans need to be an example for the people around us and inspire them that its not the end of the world to eat tofu and vegetable instead of chicken or what ever.
I didn't think anything could lower my opinion of COP27 so you surprised me. Well done on your presentation and keeping your calm when interviewing people.
its very difficult to not be a big doomer after seeing all this. these are people that are supposed to care... this is very very very depressing.
They do care.....so long as it requires absolutely nothing from them.
Any movement that argues for non violence to animals is doomed to fail. Humans are predatory, violent, horrible creatures who live only to destroy inferior life forms. They thrive on death, suffering and blood like killing machines. And nobody can change them.
@@tobbs5410 You sound like a hopeful person
@@sebleblan I'm not. I've come to the conclusion that all humans love animal destruction.

Yep, the animal industry is still directing the thinking of people. However, every person you talked to has now a seed in their awareness, which at some stage will suddenly sprout into deeper understanding. Thank you Klaus and PBN 🙏💐🙏
You are a sick individual.
@@goozfrabah579, thank you. I wish you, your family and friends health and happiness.
@@KatarinaTawiri Are you vegan
@Katarina I was thinking the same. Before I went vegetarian/mostly vegan, I used to think that vegans were nuts. But the example of vegans at my church (they had a booth every Sunday) and the vegetarians that I personally knew, eventually had an effect on me.
You follow with one of the most evil people in the world shame on you
This was incredibly frustrating to watch. Thankfully you were there to spread some awareness!
At a cube of truth yesterday I asked someone what they think they can do about the animals who are suffering. They told me they can get people to sign a petition XD...
Amazing job as always Klaus . Keep up the great fight. I will until my last breath
This really shows how programmable people are in perspective and opinion-the fact nobody’s talking about animal agriculture whether consciously or unconsciously because they are the consumers-meaning leading cause, blaming everything but themselves to change. God bless you for your speech and bringing this point up(as If anyone should have to do that anyway smh) I honour you for this !
It’s heartbreaking to see this. Thank you for being there and representing this very important issue.
I absolutely loved the interview WITH the indigenous islander right before the "I dare you to talk to an indigenous person about this." And the islander saying STOP factory fishing... Did she talk to the island native?!?!?
Bravo. So appreciate that you took the time, and risked such social indifference or displeasure to ask the difficult questions about the effect of animal agriculture. From presenting about veganism and then going out to see what the viewpoint is from representatives around the world, pretty dispiriting. A couple of people really listened to you, that was good to see. Got to say though, it looks grim when they haven't even heard about the problem.
Most people don't want to admit that their barbaric animal-based diet is the number 1 problem.
Many of these people seem to be so focused on their own niche topic that they can't take a step back and acknowledge big picture problems and functional solutions that require accountability. Case in point that woman being baffled by how subsidies work and deflecting to indigenous cultures, while meanwhile insisting everyone purchase solar! Food agriculture as a system needs to change, this is not a hard concept, people just fear change.
Seeing these people and knowing they get paid to do their jobs there makes me angry how ignorant they are. It's just crazy tbh...
Great speech!! if you're not pissing some people off by advocating for animal rights and letting them know that by eating all plant foods they are also helping the planet, you're doing something wrong.
Well said! Right to the point! Thank you! 🙏👍👍👍
17 years being Vegan. Will never look back. Will never allow my body to be a grave of dead animal flesh.
Veganism is the future.
i hate when non-indigenous people use indigenous people to defend their eating habits: are you indigenous? are we talking about indigenous peoples and THEIR culture? NO! stop using them as an excuse for your choices!
What hope do we really have of fighting climate change when the vast majority of delegates at COP27 are naive to the fact that the animal agriculture industry is the leading cause of greenhouse gas emissions and deforestation worldwide. Of the delegates interviewed for this video, all claimed to be environmentalists and yet all but one failed to follow a plant-based lifestyle and/or didn't even know the climate change impacts of animal agriculture. The level of (often wilful) ignorance displayed is truly embarrassing. Such a frustrating watch. You do such great work, keep it up.
He holds a speech and people are staring at their Smartphones.
Absolutely baffling and riddled with hypocrisy. Thank you Klaus
Hey Klaus, Thank you so much for doing this! It is absolutely shocking how even this group of people know so little about the impact of Animal Agriculture. AND that they were serving mostly non vegan and plant based food at the Climate Conference of all places! It gives us even more incentive to keep doing our Whole Food Plant Based Cooking Show and to continue teaching this valuable information.
@Jill Omg, I love your channel! I just bought your cookbook, I love it! I especially love the photos for most recipes and that they're fairly easy to make!
Nuts how polarizing it is. This is a conference about climate change and people still be upset.
22:00 Elysabeth Alfano KICKING ASS! You finally found someone from your tribe (or should I say church)😂Thumbs up on that!
I hope you weren't demoralised by the ignorant people "bored" with your message. Well done on you talking about it when the majority so not want personal responsibility
Welcome to Egypt my friend 🇪🇬❤️ plant based and proud
Lady at 11:10 should understand that living in Mongolia is not a necessity. It doesn't justify eating animals.
Thank you Klaus! You are great! it must have been so depressing and frustrating...thank you for your work! We are with you! 💪🌱💚
It's estonishing to see that people are ready to talk about changes when it doesn't touch their greed and their own gluttony, but when you ask them to change food habits, no, no changes are needed for them 😂😂😂 it shows how humans function...
Thanks Klaus and Plant Based News for keeping up the fight in the face of such adversity. It is ridiculous how reluctant so many people are to learn and accept the truth and be part of the solution. We can't give up though and your tireless dedication means the world. Thank you.
This is mind blowing 🤯
A conference full of absolute lemmings, what hope do we have to get these agricultural changes made over the next couple of decades!
Fascinating, the amount of denial and unwillingness to take personal responsibility when Veganism is mentioned.
2:00 JESUS. These people have NO CLUE...
Klaus, you my friend, are a saint! I would have lost my mind. Thank goodness you found someone who got it but its more than concerning to have found so few.
My God it's super frustrating to see this.
All these people gathering around smiling taking group photos "look at me I was here" yet nearly no one was talking about a plant based food system.
The guy from that island needs to eats fish to survive and we have no problem with that but nearly no one at COP does but still do.
Gods are made up to control and exploit people.
Klaus, I'm sad to say that industries will ONLY make a change when it's too late.
What industries, the likes of Bayer and other chemical factories that are turning the earth to toxic waste dumps and vegans are helping?
I struggled watching him struggle with these people !! One thing I think of so many times with refusals to the idea of adopting plant-based eating is that they are missing out on the best tasting meals they could ever dream of having !! They scheduled the agriculture sector talks right at the time for lunch!
Ignorance is Bliss!!! Most people just don’t want to be told they are a huge part of the problem and it’s answer.
1st, Elizabeth is a rockstar! 🤘🏻 2nd, scary the lack of and downright opposition towards self accountability. people want legislation, politicians and industries to dictate the changes instead of personally responsibility… great work, Klaus!
I have no patience for these ignoramuses.
Thank you so much for your work. If it's getting frustrating, don't forget there is a loving, caring community that got your back.
Never ceases to amaze me how unaware people are. They are concerned by climate change, yet are unaware that the biggest contributors are the animals they put on their plates… kinda makes their concern pointless when aren’t adressing that.
Theyre not concerned, theyre playing roles and identities. Its the controlled opposition of our narcissistic society. For us to exist in this destruction, we must think someone is trying to fix it and do right as we almost never are. So we have stand ins, people doing a job, trained to be concerned about either lesser things or narrow things but, ignore certain things. Anyone actually concerned is vegan. Not saying everyone is terrible. Its the narcissisystem. It creates victims and/or Dunning Krugers who uphold the system by never standing for anything that is not allowed.
@@MrTittybutt I just find it so incredibly stupid, like putting up a facade for show and nothing else. Ill be very straight forward - i think these types of events feel completely pointless, a waste of time IF you're not vegan and adressing the biggest cause of climate, environment and every other issue.
It's so dowrright infuriating to see people participate in these events, yet be completely ignorant and all the while - munching on chicken, beef and pork.
As someone who went vegan knowing how much harm animal agriculture does to the climate and the world as whole, all of this just leaves me speechless.
I agree, the world is indeed narcissistic, and its disgusting as all hell.
U r doomed by climate change 😂😂😂
@@Kristers_K Yep, Its because we are Dunning Kruger Narcissists. We think were smart while destroying ourselves and behaving in a terrible, contagious ways, making excuses for everything we do along the way. Its pretty simple but takes character and self reflection. Harming others and seeing ourselves so highly for no reason isnt rational or intelligent, especially when so many of we humans do it at the same time. Spread empathy and humility. Being vegan is only step one, the absence of adding to the the misery on purpose. All meat eaters in the affluent west are narcissists, whether malignant or learned grandiosity. Its pretty easy to opt out and feels kinda good too.
The people who want to be leaders and representatives are generally the wrong people. People with values and empathy have shit to do and dont need the accolades or attention. They do it just to do it. Or in the case of veganism, they dont do the murder.
This was so frustrating to watch. I could feel your frustration. I know how uncomfortable it is to put yourself in these situations where people completely ignore the science on animal ag’s impact. Thank you for being there to represent veganism.
It's called "actively choosing ignorance" so "I" don't have to make any changes.
I can pretend to be concerned by driving an electric car and installing solar. But I still get to drive my car and use electricity and pat myself on the back but I don't have to give anything up.
People are pathetic.
Best out of touch / ignorant comments: "Turn out your lights when not in use" - "get solar panels!" and my favorite "I dare you to talk to indigenous groups about meat..."
Great Video
It’s so ridiculous and annoying to hear someone say,”start with small things, like install solar panels on your home and drive an electric vehicle “😂 and to be so completely dismissive of “plant based diets or something like that”. How out of touch are people, when the most concerned amongst us are attending these world summits and yet are hopelessly ignorant when it comes to cause and solution. Man, we’ve got a long way to go.
Ugh, so frustrating. Thank you so much for discussing animal agriculture with people. Hopefully they'll think back on convos like these as we bring more of the issues of animal agriculture to light.
22:10 COP's Hypocrisy and Ignorance: "They've actually said, "Don't change the food at COP, we don't have meetings if we can't have our burgers. And you're seeing chicken, burgers, fish served here at a climate change summit".
They speak with such confidence and then you say "What about the fact that animal agriculture is doing the most harm to the environment" and they all be like "y...yeah...I mean...so...I...yeah so I don't kNoW eNoUgH I DoNt UndErStAnD.....nO I......"
Denial is not just a river in Egypt. 😑
They're SO desperate to keep eating animals they pull out their phones to "fact check" him. 🤦♀️ That's what being addicted to animal cruelty will do to you.
