It’s often seems plant based living is a new thing, but here in Jamaica Rastafarians have been eating plant based since for ever, they call it ital. which is derived from the word vital. It was an honour to cook with my friend ‪@chefvitaja‬ this delicious ital stew down by the river in Jamaica.

Glad the comments are back on. Ever since the first episode I wanted to say that I absolutely love your newer content. I can't wait to see more of you travelling and discovering new foods around the world. It's such a high quality production, that it could air on BBC. Love your content, keep on and stay strong mate. Edit: Forgot to say that your "garden to table" content and way of life are really inspiring me, and I aspire to go down a similar path in life.

Veganism and vegetarians are just now being accepted on a big scale in the USA. I have been vegetarian for 40 years, and back then, people acted like you were a lunatic for not eating a meat based diet. Atleast things here are changing. But yes Indians and others have accepted a vegan and vegetarian diet for many many many many generations

The concept of 'I-Tal' -the'I'-represents the higher states of Consciousness and its inextricable connection to the 'I'nI, viz., We ... Ubuntu-therefore, the etymological arrangement of 'I-Tal' was FIRST conceptualized by the early Rastafari and inextricably linked to the term 'Natural' -organic. Vital was the secondary attachment of the idea and practice!

So beautiful and delicious that food and powerful message and history. All those perennial trees avocado, mango, banana, coco, almond trees for past, present and future generations to enjoy. “Power and connection” My grandma was born in 1900 and she was a vegetarian. My father still born in 1933 he is a vegetarian……and through the generations too my daughters the last born in 2005 are vegetarians. All the generations mine yours into home grown, natural nature based food and medicine. Respecting mother nature….and the health of the soil. It feels so good being a vegetarian. Especially not being any part causing suffering to sentient livestock.

not only have there been explicitly vegan cultures & people throughout history, but prior to industrialization near-every meal was incidentally plant-based as frequent meat-eating was impossible for all but the ruling rich. lots of rich cultural plant-based food traditions exist as a result! excited to see these delicious jamaican dishes 👀

These videos are great Gaz. Those of us who converted, have been vegan for years and who intend to be vegan for life can sometimes lose that fervor we had when we started. It just becomes a normal life. But every day I try to take a second to be grateful to live in a time and place of abundance to be granted the chance to make a compassionate choice. Never forget just how much power, vitality, and compassion we are given from the Earth.

Donald Watson coined the word vegan in 1944. Archaeologist say plant based diets go back to prehistoric times, I wonder if they knew about B12.

@MrLoknar 6 месяцев назад

Fully and successfully plant-based wasn't possible, but there were mostly plant-based people of course, as well as individuals who tried and failed in the early 20th century for example.

@bonniepoole1095 6 месяцев назад

Prehistoric vegans also consumed insects and soil where B12 has been manufactured by the bacteria residing there. Maybe we're too clean, or chemicals have destroyed soil bacteria, or we don't consume enough raw produce grown in healthy, living soil. No plant or animal manufactures B12, only bacteria do.

@dianew7058 6 месяцев назад

God prescribed the Plant based vegan diet in the Garden of Eden 7,000 years ago and the ppl were strong vibrant and never sick, lived to 900 + years until after The Great Flood they had to eat flesh foods and the age went down from 900+ years to 80 years if lucky.

@welcomeback2mychannel 6 месяцев назад

Obviously not. They got it though, from soil and other incidental ingestion, not from eating animals.

@Dylan-lk4gc 6 месяцев назад

I’m not at all saying that the west invented veganism or more generally an ethical outlook that is kind to animals, but Ital isn’t the same as this. Veganism is about respecting animals for the animals’ sake, whereas this seems to be a philosophy about respecting yourself and in this vein is more concerned with what one puts in one’s own body, for one’s own sake. I think it’s an important difference to pay attention to. Still, the food looks delicious!

Its heartbreaking they have no idea what this connection feels like.
