Are British People Vegetarian? | Easy English 106 

I'm a veggie too and I love you both even more now 💚

Thats a good practise for a sound health

Well said Lera 🙌🙌

Good luck! I think it is a future-proof idea 💡

Interesting comment! Both myself and Isi would find it hard in the UK if diary wasn't an option in our diet. We have thought about trying some vegan cheese but I'm not sure how sophisticated it is in comparison to the meat replacements. I applaud you on always making your own food when you go out. I agree with the guy in this video that veggies and vegans are probably really great cooks, in terms of using ingredients, herbs and spices to their full potential. Now that I'm a vegetarian, I find myself really having to consider my choices in herbs and spices.

Oh wow! Where do you live? And is it easy being a vegan in your area/country?

@@EasyEnglishVideos I'm located im Bavaria, Germany. Its okay and its getting better every year but I've already heard there are more vegan-friendly cities and countries. So its okay but it could be better. Love your vids btw, keep up the good work!

​@@noah29 Thanks Noah! 😃 Oh yeh, I (Isi) can imagine that life as a vegan in Bavaria isn't that easy, especially with the traditional food. But that also differs from being in a city or in the countryside. I see that Germany gets more and more options in supermarkets and also for eating out. I'm sure it will get better and better over the next few years!

@@noah29 I am also vegan in Bavaria 😄

Hello Agustin. Thanks so much for watching them and writing to us. Interesting that even a cultural meat-based country is coming round to the idea of veggie/veganism. I think in the near future we're going to have to come to terms that robots will do the majority of jobs and there've already been plenty of jobs that have become defunct due to human progression. Maybe replacing meat with a (hopefully more) sustainable and cruelty-free source is just another way we have to adapt to our world?

@@EasyEnglishVideos I think that you're bringing two interesting issues that can be either considered together or not. Human work replacement by machines on the one hand, and population's transition towards a more planted based diet on the other. Whilst the first issue is far beyond food industry and farming, I think that there is a connection in the sense that all this different concerns (animal rights, sustainability, workers rights, and so on) should not be seen separately. So yeah, I would say as a general statement that moving towards a cruelty-free and sustainable source is the way we should try to move forward. However, I am a little concern about making universal statements regarding how other people/cultures should live their own lives. The most important thing in my view, is to spread the word, and to rise awareness of all these issues so that people could make their own changes. And also to be a little bit more tolerant with the people that think differently (particularly in social media that turns out to be very toxic sometimes).

Well said Agustin 🙌🙌🙌

How dare they! 😂😂 I’m pretty sure they outdate and out subscribe us. I think they make good stuff so hopefully we can ride each other’s waves 🌊

@@EasyEnglishVideos How dare they was exactly what I thought!!! 😄

Thanks for writing and watching Sachin! Interesting to hear your point of view coming from a country that is quite veggie already. I (Mitch) recently decided to go veggie for environmental/ethical reasons. Also, it's just so easy here and it actually opens up a whole new fun experimental world of finding the best substitutes and alternatives.

@@EasyEnglishVideos This is indeed Praiseworthy. I am glad you turned into a vegetarian. I don't know how you shall feel: it's that you are transforming your lifestyle from a non-vegetarian to a vegetarian, which I have no experience of. But I assure you: you will love and enjoy it. 😊😉

@@EasyEnglishVideos I am veggie since 2015 (omg it is 7 years) and I haven't thought the ecological point of view. I am eating eggs, cheese and drinking milk just for proteins. By the way check for B12 vitamin cause it is there only in meat.

Both of us are veggies, Isi for much longer… in Britain it has become very accessible to become vegetarian. In fact, one of the biggest sausage producers now have their own vegetarian range

@@EasyEnglishVideos that's really great. What are your favourite veggie dishes? Do you or Isi have some favourite recipes? Are Cari and Janusz and Manuel veggie too?

Vegan don't eat any animal products such as milk, eggs, honey etc

Vegetarians eat dairy products like milk and cheese. Vegans don't eat anything that is not plant-based.

I love this idea and will defo make it soon! Do you want another pronunciation video?

@@EasyEnglishVideos Yeah! If you can, I am very greatfull for that.

I’d say that they all have a South East accent… it’s typically quite soft and the pronunciations are similar to that of a traditional London accent

@@EasyEnglishVideos appreciate your reply 👍🏼

Myself and Isi laughed so much at your comment 😜

🤣

I have definitely met some very militant veggies, but then on the other hand, met some very stubborn meat eaters. 😂

It’s better to think about animals suffering rather than not giving a hoot about it…

We completely agree! Yeah, we were surprised that we didn't meet more vegetarians and vegans when doing the interviews. Brighton is ranked the most vegan-friendly city in UK and 24% of people in Brighton are vegan. It is very easy to be vegetarian or vegan here, we have so many amazing vegetarian and vegan restaurants and you will find really good options in supermarkets. We often travel to France and we also struggled to find vegetarian/vegan options. We can only imagine that this will change over the upcoming years!

@@EasyEnglishVideos oh i must visit Brighton, I’ll make it a priority !

Awesome! I would just be very torn when I “needed” to kill an animal I would have raised and probably named. My grandfather raised rabbits and chicken I have seen him kill them and I would eat them and they were / are delicious. If I think of it though I do feel bad… they have feelings too… except for mice and rats. Those could all be exterminated. I am sorry and I know the snakes and owls would probably die because now they didn’t have anything else to eat but we could train them to be vegan and eat oats 🤪

Thanks Claudia 🙌

I'm glad you noted this.
