I wasn't a fan tbh. Just like Cowspiracy, it's basically propaganda with loads of accusation and manipulation. I understand that American documentaries often are that way but imho it just gives veganism more of a bad name and there's much better stuff out there that deals with messed up system failures.
@@smirbelbirbel Well, I think they did a great job showing how messed up and bad commercial fishing is and how it destroys the different ecosystems of the sea.
That’s just really hard to do without ending up with some very superficial conclusions 😬, a summary is hard to do, because there are different aspects of all these certificates and I think it is important to mention them all
I live where Peta's headquarters are. I dated a guy who worked for them and told me he had to jump in people's backyards and steal their dogs. That article clip you showed is true.
So sorry for all the poor animals that suffer and suffered and will suffer because of us... :( if we're concerned about social causes we should be concerned about animals, too. Because we are animals. Such a great video gittemary!!
I love learning about “sustainable labels” - a lot of them I don’t pay any mind to (ahem, peta) but labels like B certified are actually really helpful for me when I need to decide between 2 different brands
Gurl... you are certainly the Queen of Research on this and many other topics. I appreciate you giving us the scoop on all these labels and certifications... it’s a complicated subject, but an oh-so-important one!! Thank-you for all the work and research that you put into this video and others 🌸🌿🥰
This was such a useful video! It answered a few questions I'd been thinking about. I'd also love to hear you talk a little about the word "organic" and how it can be used in different contexts/on different products.
One of the biggest struggles for me is finding out if/how a product is made more sustainable. It's great to learn more about those (less) helpful certificates. Looking forward to the next ones!
This is fantastic, thank you for your clarity and for covering this topic! I can't tell you how many "leaping bunny"-type images I've seen on products that, on closer inspection, are just in-house copycats. 🤦♀️
This video is amazing, is basically what I've been wondering for a looooong time. I'm really excited to see the upcoming videos!! And thank you for taking the time to research all of this information and make it understandable for others.
This video makes me soo happy! I did an internship at system certification, and boii..these things are really important and your approach to this is great! Can't wait for part 2&3
Fantastic video and Gittemary Johansen we unfortunately live in a materialistic world and that's what causes waste and unsustainability and also what is behind the animal expoiltion industries.
The vegan label is an issue to me because it means the product does not have animal products IN it. However they can test on animals...which is not vegan so... I wish the "vegan" label was replaced by "plant based product" and there was a new "vegan" label that means it BOTH doesn't include animal products AND doesn't test on animals because that would be actually vegan
LOVE THIS!!! In terms of your question at the end of what we might like you to cover, I’d love you to examine fair trade cocoa certifications? There’s so many fake ass shit out there lol, big brands claiming they’re fair trade or environmentally friendly while still actively engaging in child labour >.
@@Gittemary I know that and it was awesome thank you! :D I just mean the branding that certain chocolate companies try to use specifically, like the other day I read on a chocolate bar it was “sustainable cocoa certified” but I couldn’t find any evidence that they’re at all sustainable or eco friendly, probably a case of green washing 😭
Oh nice! This is really helpful. I've been having some doubts about some of these labels and this video helped cleared some of them. Waiting for those next parts!
This is SOOOOO. ON. POINT. I've caught myself buying slightly more expensive fairtrade-certified foods and feeling an ease of conscience, but always with an aftertaste like "what's behind this label"?
After watching seaspiricy I don't know what to beleive about labels anymore. I've tried to look into RSPCA assured, with not much luck. I don't see how any meat product can promote animal welfare if the animal is killed at the end??
Eee the idea that Humane Farms is the bare minimum, wtf are “inhumane farms” doing? Also I sent an email about amazon’s new echo certification. It seems like an in-house certificate though.
I would love to see a video on the impact of Incinerating garbage! My husband thinks it’s an end all be all solution and that we can throw away food that isn’t even bad and don’t need to recycle either.
