Russell Simmons, Mýa, and Waka Flocka sat down for a delicious vegan meal to talk about how removing animals from their plate has changed each of them-and what a vegan lifestyle means for their health, animals, their community, and the environment.
PETA's mission statement is that animals are not ours to experiment on, eat, wear, use for entertainment, or abuse in any other way:

Today vegan food is more delicious and healthier than the cruel alternative.

I absolutely love the fact that these (black) artists have taken it upon themselves to have an open discussion regarding veganism. It is empowering to see people of color caring about, and engaging in, healthy lifestyles. We need to get AND remain educated!

@RayeTheDoula 6 лет назад

This is so amazing! I've been vegan since 2016 (was vegetarian before) and my only regret is not going vegan sooner! So many of my health problems have reversed & now I'm just waiting to conceive our miracle baby and have a vegan pregnancy! So many people think I'm crazy, but I'm committed to sharing this message forever! FOOD IS HEALTH!

@RayeTheDoula 6 лет назад

Never Blink I used VEGAN soy "chicken" by Gardein and BWW sauce! Thanks for the insult, I've worked REALLY hard to be vegan so it doesn't hurt.

@doglover1834 6 лет назад

Lmao that's good you went vegan. But why are you still fat?😂😂😂

@RayeTheDoula 6 лет назад

Never Blink and I was vegan before it was "trendy" but it's never been trendy in the south! God bless you.

@RayeTheDoula 6 лет назад

Never Blink But why does my size matter to you if I'm improving MY health 🤷🏽‍♀️🤷🏽‍♀️🤷🏽‍♀️

@RayeTheDoula 6 лет назад

Live Not Die LIKE I TOLD THE COMMENTER ABOVE, I USED THE WING SAUCE AND GARDEIN MEATLESS CHICKEN 🗣🗣🗣🗣🗣 IF YOU WATCHED THE VIDEO THEN YOU WOULD KNOW! What y'all can do it judge however you want. But what you WILL NOT DO is take my accomplishments away from me. I am very proud of what I have accomplished and how much weight I have lost being that most AA women are heavier ANYWAY AND women that have PCOS struggle to lose weight! I've lost 50 pounds now being vegan... you won't take the pride I have in that accomplishment from me.

@kiesytuts229966 6 лет назад

@starlamaurer4137 6 лет назад

I have been vegetarian for 6 years - vegan for 10 months. There IS a mind set change. A peacefulness that comes over you that you can't explain. My makeup, hair products. Shoes, clothes etc are all vegan. And Russell is right - angry vegans give the wrong delivery sometimes. Better to deliver the message without accusations - state facts. I simply state "since being vegan I am no longer on BP meds, asthma meds and I'm happy in my soul. I sleep well, love others and there is simply peace in my life. Thanks PETA - keep spreading the word as will I. 💕

@EllieMcHale1 6 лет назад

Starla Maurer yes! When people start a conversation with me expecting an angry response from me, I say "I'm happy to give you recipes and invite you over for dinner; you can discover yummy food and we can have conversations about more important and entertaining things; at the very core of how I choose to live my life, I am doing no direct harm to you or my community, so please respect my choice and I'll offer you the same respect."

@cobykonneor 4 года назад

I've been vegan for a decade and was vegetarian for a few years before that. I adopted a dog who has food allergies and he is also now vegan. At 14 yrs old, even his vet agrees he is healthier than he's ever been. We do our best to support only vegan companies for all aspects of life and encourage others to do the same. Thank you all for all of your hard work- Coby and OzzyDog

Can we just take a minute to appreciate how nice the comments are. Everyone's encouraging everyone and it's amazing. We have a few meat eaters in here but they aren't getting slammed with negativity. Instead we are encouraging one another to make that connection for ourselves, the animals, and the environment.

Donald Williams me too. I might still have a thyroid that works and a gall bladder in my body. All because of the meat dairy and eggs i used to eat. Being vegan at 57 now i enjoy my food more because it doesn't lay heavy in my stomach anymore.

@RahulsVeganCooking 6 лет назад

Yes the biggest problem is meat is the only thing that is thought to people in schools, TV, every restaurant in our communities serve meat, Hardly any vegan options. This is why people only eat meat, the industry makes big money. That's why I started a vegan cooking channel so people can learn about delicious vegan foods. I'm hoping times will change with social media and more people will find vegan foods and foods nature intended for us to eat, not what billionaires want us to eat.

@xFuzzyLove 6 лет назад

Rahul's Vegan Cooking you right. Every commercial or ad, is animal products. You rarely see something vegan. But the beauty of this generation of vegans, are making those big people furious and I like that. They losing money. Lol 😂

@RahulsVeganCooking 6 лет назад

+xFuzzyLove yes the big meat industry will eventually go down. They have been brainwashing people for too long. People are finally starting to find out the truth about food, social media is a huge help.

@barbidahoinsummer6769 6 лет назад

I worked assisted living and health and welfare insisted on no more than two meat substitutes a week, milk at two meals a day. The residents needed a healthier diet but unless they requested vegan themselves we couldn't serve it.

@Juice84 6 лет назад

Yo, I'm making a RU-vid video about this tomorrow. I had no idea May is vegan. I've been vegan for nearly two years now. My only regret is not doing it sooner.

@banysfinest 4 года назад

How did you start? That's where I'm having trouble.. I want to be vegan but I don't know how or where to start

Great format concept - hope PETA does more like this...

@Juice84 6 лет назад

This is one of my favorite videos on RU-vid =)

@b.j.dee2702 6 лет назад

🙏 Thank you PETA for this video- I recently went vegan because I'm sick of killing my body and participating in the cruelty and death of animals- animals we're meant to protect. There really aren't people in my section of the black community, speaking out on this and teaching it to the younger generation. I will definitely share this with friends and continue to push them to reform and lead a healthier lifestyle.

This video was amazing. I hope that it helps young ones understand and want to further research the process of how the food gets to their table from beginning to end. I've been trying to lean into a more plant based lifestyle...It can be done it just takes time and research...Thanks for this video. Our communities have to do better.

@mrsbrownsugarsweetz 4 года назад

This is so inspirational. I saw the video about the cows, I just stop eating beef. I knew about uncle Russell but not Miya and Waka Flacka. TI is the one that actually is really making me think about this thing. I haven’t transitioned yet, gotta get my ingredients up. This is not a cheap venture. I’m watching more videos trying to figure this thing out. I hate squash, egg plant, zucchini, anything with that texture so I got to find things I can eat.

@mischa23406 6 лет назад

This is cool. I have been on this healthy eating and habits for over a month now. No dairy, only fish, no eggs and no sugar! I feel amazing, people have told me im glowing. I know its from all the running and the change in my diet! Love this round table, healthier more affordable options are so necessary for improvement of the health in our communities!

@cherishdaly5781 6 лет назад

Congratulations to them maintaining the vegan lifestyle. Mya hasn’t aged at all. I am currently transitioning to the vegan lifestyle. The slaughtering process is one thing plus it isn’t good for the environment but from all of the research that I have done it proves that animal products can cause all types of health issues. There are many plant based foods that taste good. I don’t even miss eating steak, chicken, ham, etc. Pizza is the only thing that I crave from time to time.

@peta 4 года назад

Awesome to hear that you made the switch to a compassionate lifestyle! You can still have pizza when you choose vegan cheese and toppings. Check out some of our favorites here: www.peta.org/living/food/everything-you-need-to-know-about-vegan-cheese/

@MrHandsomeboynow 4 года назад

Flocka is a smart guy. The way he speaks here shows he put some real existential thought into it. He quit because of the social backlash, for the culture, etc. unimportant stuff. I believe he will go back to a vegan lifestyle because he ultimately knows what’s best for himself.

@veganc5028 Год назад

I'm 61, been vegan 9 years, was vegetarian for about 6 years before that. I am routinely mistaken for my grandkids mother not grandma. People are always surprised when I tell them I'm their grandmother. I have no health issues at all. Much healthier than my friends who are carnists.

@MysticRebelle7 6 лет назад

Saving the environment, improving your own health, and preventing animal suffering - there are so many reasons to go vegan: • Environment: animal agriculture is the source of 51 per cent of all greenhouse gases and 91 per cent of Amazon rainforest destruction, and it's the number one cause of species destruction and ocean dead zones. • Health: eating animal-derived foods can clog your arteries with cholesterol and increase your risk of suffering from obesity, cancer, diabetes, and heart disease. • Animals: a vegan lifestyle is the most effective way to protect animals. You can save lives every single time you eat.
