Vegans on top: Ori Shavit at TEDxHiriya 

😊

+Pablo Rages someone sounds bitter

I'm not vegan and I never get sick not even at the sight of blood and I mean a lot of blood.

if your not a vegan then you have 0 idea of what vegans talk about it. Try it yourself for a solid month. Then comment again. You'll be doing yourself and the planet a favor to.

I honestly think veganism is the next stage in evolution. It is healthier, better for the environment, better for our minds. There is no negative part of being vegan as long as you feed yourself properly. You can enjoy food just as much without the harm.

Don Vegan Any other biased and one-sided documentaries you'd recommend? I've been feeling a little too objective lately and I'm really hoping to get on the vegan bandwagon to cure it.

Don't forget the part where the exact same things is done but to grow food for vegetarians but more herbivores are then killed so they don't eat the vegetarians food so they can get there food from the land that animals once ate from. be

+Vegetarians are stupid are you? Highschool biology teaches you that to produce 10kcal of meat you need 100kcal of plants. 90% of that energy is lost so you can have a steak instead. We need to grow so many crops to feed livestock that we destroy rainforests for crop lands and farms destroying biodiversity as we know.

***** Well I do admit that the picture is not one of my best and the camera never does reflect the true tone of my skin..besides the color was modified with an effect on my computer..and since I know more about my health than you do "Dr", I will not be in a rush to get to a hospital..a hospital like all others...full of meat and dairy addicted humans..

BlizzardzRS Maybe Ronald McDonald will do a voice over doc for the meat and dairy drug industry..something you would never question.

planetarylove congrats. it's my 1st month b. feeling gr8 already. it ain't no placebo effect

Now 30 years, not once looked back

The world wants you to be vegan.

You wouldn't change it for the world and you are changing the world

Gilad Haim Substitute milk for plant milk, meat for tofu, beans, lentils and cereals, and switch to dairy free pastries, without egg or milk ingredients. And then you’re vegan! DONT ever go “fully-raw” vegan, that is just bad for you. Eat a variety of fruits and vegetables, always have beans or lentils every day, and on a side note, ditch sugar, like in fruit juices, which is awful for you. Check out chronometer- a website where you can log your food and see what vitamins and minerals you’re getting or missing. There are many vegan based cooking channels on youtube. Check out mike the vegan to learn about vegan nutrition. Good luck:)) Its a wonderful life-style and incredibly healing for both yourself, our earth and it’s animals:)

Lyss :))

Me too, and I'm newly Vegan! Greetings from Leicester, UK

Yess!!

Yeah, it's like it is a cult or something...

Starve to death eating plants? Individuals have remained 100% vegan from birth, and are thriving in their 90's. Plants have rights? I don't remember the last time someone was fighting for the ethical rights of carrots, but please let me know and I will look into their arguments. If you're so worried about plants, going vegan has the least impact on plant life. Farm animals require large amount of plant food in order to become that piece of flesh on your plate. Refuse to hurt an animal during an attack? You have rights, including protecting yourself. Therefore, if an animal or bacteria is harmful to you, you have the right to protect yourself and others by any means necessary, including killing.

Zach Morphus Don't you love it when people who eat meat come to Vegan Ted talks and defend eating meat? Why are you here? Go spread your love for meat somewhere else.

Yes! Sensitive subject.

I lol'd. Then tried. Now agree.

Brainbuster How u do that? :O

JidduKrish Namurti The gear at the lower right of the frame. Click it. In the menu, you should see Speed setting. (if you don't, then do a ggl search for request youtube html5). Click on the link you find. Then check that you want to try the html5 player. Now there will be the speed setting, so that you can play slow-talkers fast, and you can play sexy vids slow-motion.

Brainbuster XD. Ok. Ty

Actually this is easy on the ears even at 1.5x

Matilda Kivelä You're a fool who humanizes animals.

Peter Rabitt Nope, she is advocating that we basically give animals human rights, which is totally absurd.

Peter Rabitt Does It matter? They are both wrong.

Peter Rabitt I'm just going to suggest you get your head examined. Clearly the lack of meat in your system has depleted your brain cells.

Watch the research videos I've linked below with your family? I will weigh in on the science/research to provide another dimension to this! Please read, watch, share the vids I've linked & let's educate ourselves! :) The research only gets clearer over time about how unhealthy meat,/fish dairy, eggs + oil are for us.. Although many people are out of touch with the science/research and confused. From the hormones to industrial toxins that accumulate the higher up we eat on the food chain, the saturated fat/cholesterol and heart disease (biggest killer in western world?) + diabetes, links to cancers, overworking of the kidneys, effect on aging and much more. The vids I've linked below are short, interesting and literally walk through the scientific research studies/papers in an easy to understand way. Plus each page provide links to sources so you can read the research yourself. Survival of the fittest applies to humans too and it's not a good thing that most people are blissfully unaware of the ramifications of their diet/lifestyle. There's a reason we spend sooo much on health + suffer an onslaught of chronic diseases and suffer/die years or decades early.. We damage our bodies 3 times a day when we eat.. Just like each time you smoke.. Keen to hear your thoughts! This is just a fraction of the research! This organisation reads through 10's of 1000's of research studies/ research papers and explains them in their videos..

Yeah ok Max Wrong!

It's time for forward thinking!

***** Just great! I'm a vegan myself and I really enjoyed this speech.

True :------D

+tamppii Ⓥ Do you know how your comment looks ?!?!

xenoblad yes, I'm sorry, that's just how i automatically make emoticons...:--D

+OddSeuss I suspect this woman was converted by Mr. Yourofsky, since he spoke to the Israeli media, of which she is part.

he was invited multiple times and declined because his talk would have been too restricted

I can not stand her accent. Like scratching the whitewash of the wall or the chalk squeak of a chalk on a blackboard (not many of those around). It's not only the accent, her grammar is the pits, as well.

Ben Adam beauty is in the eyes of the beholder my friend. Personally i like the overall passion behind the words and not focus much on the imperfections of neither grammar nor speech. Peace

Ben, that's how Israelis speak. To her, you're the one with the accent. Are you really so shallow that you judge a book by its cover? What about the content of her lecture? Everything she said was accurate.

@@benadam8992 how many languages do you speak ? Bit pretentious to criticize someone for how they speak your language, she is talking about food and the environment. She is not hear to teach English. Trust you to miss the point 🤷‍♂️

+will smith I think jesus would prefer that you try to live your life mindfully, trying to restrain from unnecessary harm and caring for other living beings rather than just "be on his side", think you believe in him and expect to be on the right path. Anyways if you just pay attention to love then he's already with you you don't need any mind-slaving dogmas to make you feel better. Have more faith in yourself

I read "Great lettuce"

heather huelsmann yay

heather huelsmann Nope.

I guess we'll see

heather huelsmann I guess we will, because as of now, only 0.5% of of Americans are vegan. You have a long way to go.

1.5%, but yes, there is a long way to go. In some countries though, like Isreal, it is said to be 5-10%.

Least you can do for what?

samir bhosale So saying something outrageous like 5 million liters of water are saved if one person goes vegan is "good information"? Give me a break.

David Westrup lol

David Westrup You're just jealous because I chose pikachu and not you.

David Westrup she clearly was not serious....

Leeon Cohen actually I didn't find it that clear

***** Aww cute little baby. Do you want a soother with that projection?

We should focus on becoming an inter-galactic species rather than remaining stuck on this one planet.

+Great Wolf not before we fix our violence issues and blindness. We would spread it. What we should need first is to become responsible with our own planet before thinking of expanding to other ones

sugar in general and refined starch (which are sugar - same shit different colour). That's how I got overweight and everytime I have stopped with those shit I have lost weight - beyond 20 - 25 kilo's (40-50 lbs) but then I have made the same mistake all over again - I have been a bloody good boy so now I can reward myself............and here we go again.......THIS time :) -30 kilo (about 60 lbs) are the goal for this year :)

Nia LaLa Sugar addict = carbs and sugar = same shit different colour no matter what you diet you're on. That's all I bother for now. And it's on the high meat diets I have failed. I have failed when adding carbs back into my diet simply because my brain craved sugar.....Do you even realize how addictive sugar is? And that carbs/starch are the same as sugar? I have had two major physical withdrawels from sugar the past two weeks. Sweet stuff never were my things that's the irony of it all. Sweating, shaking, anger, mood swings and all that. Long live sugar and carbs that are turning the world into junkies! You must be sponsored by the grain industry you vegan types ;) ;) :) (joke) Not gonna continue the discussion in the future. I have said how it is for me and that high carbs diet never are an option for me no matter what package it comes from and if you don't understand that because you feel good on your vegan diet that's not my problem. I am fine if some people feel better than before when they eat high carbs. I wouldn't recommend it to anyone, but that's fine with me. I don't care. What matters to me is that carbs are my main enemy. I still eat some carbs and I am not a fanatic LCHF - about 20 % of my diets are carbs. But those are low GI carbs. And even this small amount are a bit risky for my. But thanks to no sugar spikes it seems like it's gonna work. And because the fat and protein makes me full a lot more than carbs. Now - discussion is over - not gonna be bothered again. Peace out.
