I Tried Going VEGAN for 30 Days... Here's What Happened! | Morgan Yates 

Great statistics! I knew about the water. Could you tell us the source of the others? BTW don't put the links in or RU-vid deletes it.

@@someguy2135 check out “the vegan calculator” to see your personal impact. His sources are linked on his site :)

@@Rachelizabethompson3 Thank you! I will do that. I will cite this in my debates online.

Also, proud of you for doing this and showing how accessible being vegan can be, i always think if everyone went more plant-based rather than a few people going completely vegan it would help so much more so hopefully you inspire people to try a few vegan meals :)

@@madisonelyse6517 Thank you! I definitely don't see myself going fully vegan, but I do make an effort to cut back. Totally agree with you - every small effort helps!

Agree!! Once you start doing it for the animals it’s the easiest decision ever. And now a couple of years later of not having meat, I couldn’t think of anything more gross 😂

thissss

Just egg is a good replacement i love it

@o o comments like this will never encourage anyone to go vegan lol

Pile pan fried mushrooms on top of avocado toast and a little balsamic vinegar on top yummy

Soooo good lol

yes!!!

It’s soooooo good

@o o I agree but the all or nothing mentality keeps people from making changes due to feeling polarized and gives vegans a bad reputation.

You are not vegan if you eat eggs or dairy. Its called something else : vegetarian.

@o o chill we are all on the same side here ❤️

@@SamanthaKimC if I wanna call myself vegan I’ll do it. Thanks for you input. You can call yourself whatever you want.

@@brittanycarney1101 you don't have to go for the all or nothing approach, but if you're not vegan, you're not vegan lmao It's a really simple concept

Yay!!!!

Do you have any issues with iron or any other nutrients? I’m trying to go vegan and some people are scaring me by saying I’m going to be malnourished.

@@kelseyadkins1787 not at all! As long as you don't eat junk food for every meal, and eat decently balanced, you will be completely fine! I've had blood work done countless times and my levels of iron and stuff are completely normal, vegans being malnourished is a myth that has been disproven :)

@@kelseyadkins1787 You have to do your own research but as a vegan for almost two years, I never ever was scared of going malnourished or being on deficit for iron, protein or omega. You have to take care of yourself and your system but you have no reason to go in deficit if you make good research. You'll then be ready and set for life :)

Omg going to try!!

Yes it’s AMAZING ❤️

You definitely have to eat more as a vegan. Heaps of people have that problem when they first start it because they aren’t eating enough food .

That is not true there are plenty of vegan foods that are also higher calorie (nuts & seeds, nut butters ect ect)

I completely agree. I tried going dairy free but was still breaking out, that’s when I realize sugar was the culprit for me. Now I watch both, my dairy and sugar intake.

@o o Aaahh..both, and bacon and cheese! With a corn salsa on the side!

@o o Just trying to lighten things up a little, you missed the whole "bacon, cheese, corn salsa" thing...don't get me started about the innocent carrots...

@o o I'm not addicted to meat either... now, perfectly prepared meat...

@o o Thanks for understanding...it's not just the "land" animals...the available seafood is amazing...lobster, shrimp, scallops and the fish...sea bass, halibut, codfish! An addiction I tell you, an addiction!

@o o Thanks, now all can think about is bacon...

Just egg is a good replacement for eggs:)

hahahaha

?

Whenever I'm not feeling something I ask myself "am I willing to let ___ get in the way of my goal?"

Yes!

YES EXACTLY! veganism is more than just eating.. its everything! what you buy for clothes and also buying vegan products for your home!

Thanks for your thoughtful comment Todd! I totally see the difference, and originally did go on a long tangent in the video about how veganism goes beyond just the food for most vegans. I ended up cutting it out because I didn't feel like I was conveying my point well, but I'm with you on there being a difference between vegan & plant-based. I do think it's a lot harder/less realistic to convince most of the population to go fully vegan (myself included), which is why I hoped to show people that eating plant-based doesn't have to be that difficult. Even if people switch to a few days of plant-based eating a week, it's better than nothing in my opinion. Thanks for watching!

There is not a strict rule set to being vegan guys lol

@@brittanycarney1101 I don’t believe that I’m being pretentious for explaining what it means to be vegan. As I said in my comment, would we be so lenient with people who were only part-time anti-racist? “I Tried Being Ant-racist for 30 Days”? Afterwards, I was mainly anti-racist, but on that rare occasion I discriminate against someone it’s because it’s to my advantage to do so. Surely you can understand why this isn’t acceptable. How about “I’m Against Pedophilia for the Next Month.” However, after this trial period, I’ll be alright with someone who only molests children once a month. You see, when there’s a victim involved, there isn’t a convenient gray area. Hey, I applaud anyone who is making the effort to transition towards veganism by eating a plan-based diet. However, this doesn’t equate to being a vegan who is against ALL exploitation, abuse and slaughtering of innocent sentient beings. (By the way, the egg industry is one of the most heinous. And don’t be fooled by the “free range” BS.) That takes a moral commitment in which you align your moral values with your actions in regards to honoring the rights of animals. No one is saying that animals are equal to humans, but they have worth. Therefore, it’s the responsibility of humans, who possess moral agency, to protect those rights. Anyway, my initial comment was to distinguish between veganism and a plant-based diet. I never inferred that I was against anyone who is trying to reduce the meat/diary/eggs in their diet. It was never about being “protective over a label.”

Animals are not children lol

It can be more than just ethical based. A lot of people want to go vegan for health or environmental reason

And if not for animals there is the environment and ethic aspect of it also. The amount of food that are fed to livestock is insane , could literally feed a country

that is not healthy and bad for the environment and literally killing animals.

@@yes24__ *shrugs* Tell that to my improving body weight and abundance of energy.

@@BaileyConnell short term yeah, long term .. no. I don't know why you would choose a way that negatively impacts not just yourself. you can easily get that same abundance of energy by eating more plant based and less meat and dairy. The sources used for your diet supporting that it's not bad for the environment are flawed and have been debunked many times but idk I guess "fake news" when it's convenient.

@@ThatClassicGirlXO exactly, fake news when its convenient 🤣

@@BaileyConnell what is convenient about trying to have less impact on the environment negatively. Nothing that we need to do to that has a positive affect in any ways of our life is easy or convenient but that's why people don't want to change. Because we are comfortable with everything being quick, convenient , thinking everything here is for us and made for us. Everyone hates the movement or any movement that says otherwise and there are obvious reasons for that. For example most people love trump because all he does is tell his country that it's the best country in the world and that everything is okay all the time.
