Vegetarian diet bbc Videos

+Artjoms Pugacovs Being a sentient being myself, I experienced both pain and trouble watching this video. Therefore this video is not vegan.

+Trevor O'Donnell I think she tried without really educating herself.....but that's most people about veganism... "I like meat too much" or "I just can't do tofu". This reminds me of those comments. The more I learn, the more you realize most Vegans don't buy that "vegan" stuff in the grocery. You have to actually cook and eat...eat a lot. Just keep eating. When I don't plan my meals or eat the same stuff for too long, yeah I feel lethargic, because I'm not eating a balanced diet. Vegan can be spaghetti and PB&J's. You gotta be informed and smart about being healthy. Vegan does not always mean healthy. Many vegans are healthy because they are well educated. 2 weeks...she was probably still detoxing from all the bad stuff...no joke.....But yeah...like you said, defeatest...she was like.."I'll try it...oh shucks, didn't give me energy like I was promised. Guess it's not for me..."

+James Yates yeah it was hard to watch this, doesn't exactly promote veganism in a positive light

+Trevor O'Donnell or eating anything good, i didn't get the whole "it's taking it's toll on me after 1 week" stuff. i don't know anyone who hasn't seen an increase in energy from dropping dairy.

+Olivia Bohannon It's fine if you are strong willed, I did the same and experienced an intense breakout in my skin which lasted almost 6 months. Because I was committed to veganism I just had to wait it out since there was no way I was going back, but I definitely wouldn't recommend other people doing the same haha (if anyone is reading this has experienced the same thing YOUR SKIN WILL HEAL). But I think we can all agree that this girl knows nothing and this documentary is a joke.

I used to eat like shit. Biscuits, eggs and bacon all day everyday. The logic of veganism hit me over about three days and I went vegan literally over night on that third day. If you're clever, or you're not weak willed, going cold turkey is fine IMO. ☺️I totally agree that this girl is a weak moron though. This 'documentary' is pathetic.

+RedWave You were not educated enough, nor did you try hard enough. This was an absolutely horrible documentary. You went about this completely wrong.

the images of the animals are not representative of how most of the industry is run. It is much more horrible.

oh my god just bring rice and veggies in a tupperware to work. Or a salad! Or a vegan sandwich! Or some pasta! you don't have to have a meat sandwich for lunch and you certainly don't have to rely on "snack foods"

The meals aren't as filling because you need to eat more! You need to eat more when eating mostly plants because they are lower calorie than meat! You went into this with nearly no education. you don't need to "find products" to eat, eat real whole foods! How can you not believe in vegan ethics? God I am only 10 minutes in and this is making me mad.

hahaha yes the 80s vegetarian diet did seem pretty limited :P

How was the sugar consumption then? Cos it's sugar that's causing the problems now..

+Chris Shaskin Chris, you've got it all wrong. A diet rich in complex carbohydrates is the only one that preserves the integrity of insulin function. If Kate continued to consume dairy, or sugar, or salt, or oils, then any of these can lead to weight gain. You can't, however, indict veganism per se. Read the history of Britain's affair with meat - the prevalence of stroke, heart disease and gout as well as obesity, in the 18th century, for example, when vegetables were more or less ignored.

+AnimalWelfareEduc What an incredible story, thank you so much for the role you played! Excellent piece of history retained :)

+PLANT BASED NEWS  I gave a DVD of the programme to Brian in 2012 with the suggestion that he used it at a meeting that was due to happen some months later, but I was vastly more pleased when l  learned that he had also put it on the Internet(I did not have the facilities to do so myself at that time). I was active in Kathleen Janaways Movement for Compassionate Living in the early 1990s and had kept a VHS tape of the programme at my home since 1992 - Kathleen Janaway gave me the tape then because I was one of very few people at that time that had 2 VCRs. I might say, quite immodestly, that without my involvement the programme could have been lost forever. Had the tape stayed with Kathleen whoever dealt with her belongings after she died may have thrown it away thinking it was of no value or may have just put it on a shelf and done nothing else with it.

I've still yet to see a better video arguing the case for the complete vegan philosophy though! Kathleen Jannaway rocks!
