Have you heard about the rubbery watermelon?? I feel like I’m gambling every time I buy a watermelon now

❤️💚🌱🍉

I'm blasting your youtube comment section - boosting the algorithm. Hope you don't mind! If you don't want me to - I won't, but I just don't want to be banned from commenting on a channel just for this. (I left at 45:11 - will finish commenting later)

45:11 I don't believe food is black and white just like clothes aren't. On one hand - if you thrift non-vegan items - you're relieving the consequences of someone else's carnist's responsibility - to face their own problems. Same with second-hand food! There's discount food stores - where if they don't sell non-vegan food - it goes into the trash. Now if you buy it - then you support that industry to not have to worry as much about overproducing animal products. But if someone buys food and couldn't finish it and you can tell them not to overbuy anymore and just eat the non-vegan food that one time - I don't see the issue in keeping that food from going into the trash as much - although it's still alleviating the consequences of their own burdens - it's about the animals in the end too.

42:49 something else I've suggested to people is to give back the clothing to the manufacturers. Unfortunately donating it just puts one non-veganness on someone else - so I don't agree with earthling ed on his donating - because it's just a status play that is net neutral for moving veganism forward (you'd just give you non-vegan clothes to someone else and then yell at them about why they're not vegan - when you personally make them that way). So I feel your method's better than his - where you're carrying your non-vegan burden with you - instead of placing it on others.

41:24 there's no one universal method of applying veganism in reality as far as I'm aware - so that's why you'd get different answers from different people. Until a universal answer comes - we're all going to have our own answers that're all right and might be wrong at the same time! So who's someone else to tell you what your doing is or isn't vegan - when no one really knows for sure? I don't believe anyone should tell anyone else what to do for veganism - because no one has any real answers tbh.

40:55 maybe you can find someone who'd normally buy wool and give it to them? That's what I'd do - I actually do it all the time!

38:40 me too - while I'm fine with the 2nd hand - if it's the last of the transition - making the most of the last wearings, I don't believe 2nd hand leather is vegan - especially since if someone looks at it - it'll encourage buying leather. It only makes sense if no one's allowed to buy more - the the last wearings is fine to me - but it's not vegan. I don't believe in buying 2nd hand leather - since there's so many vegan options to thrift, but I'm not a vegan - because I do believe in freeganism - where if someone's going to throw out a leather jacket - then it's important to take it - to make use of it - so the cow didn't die in vain. That said - I do understand joey carbstrong's sentiments of just letting the cow be in peace and respecting them - so that's acceptable too - if it weren't for the idea that you still would need to buy something after that takes from a potentially living being - even if it's a plant! Plastic takes from animals long gone too at times. Look - I'm going to try to keep the leather jacket out of the trash can - so I can give it to someone who's thinking of buying real leather - so that they just don't have to. I'll keep it around, I might wear it if needed or use it - but in places where I don't show others - so I don't encourage that behavior. I feel there's certain behaviors that're better for animals than veganism, because no matter what you decide - it's not going to be a vegan choice - throwing it out makes the trash can, pickup person's job, and landfill not vegan, so I'm about what I call (my made up word) 'helpism' to help out the animals as best as possible. That means elevating their value - by not being treated like trash - but someone we hold dear. No one way is going to be perfect and ideal - I feel everyone's is right and wrong in their own way - but that's my stance. I'm going to preserve it as much as possible to keep other lives from dying and keeping the trash from being non-vegan than going the vegan route. I just don't believe veganism does enough for animals, so I feel like there's more out there to it - and that's my thoughts. Maybe we can even give the leather back to the animals in some way - like skin grafts for cows that're burn victims or something. I just think keeping the leather around allows for that - but that's me - right or wrong.

35:15 see this is why I question what peta's actually doing investing in non-vegan companies - if it's just for profiting off carnism, because they just aren't really pushing veganism forward there. I say to leave the carnist companies fend for themselves and just work on growing veganism - to support those who're already vegan - bring people there, and to enact laws that limit carnist companies from going on the stock market instead of perpetuating their measly existence out of measly pity. I'm with nikki on this - that peta should put their mouth where their money is lol

30:48 while I like and support their idea in theory, it's poor implementation - I'd much rather them put their money into vegan stocks. It's a shame that all the money goes to non-vegan companies - simply to reward them the more they do wrong! I haven't heard any great out of it - and I feel this behavior is what's leading to less veganism - because people see vegan money going to 'helping' out bad behavior - that likely people form non-vegan companies just to get 'vegan correcting' money. It's blatantly fake veganism to me. I only invest in vegan only companies and encourage everyone else to do the same. Same with ETF's, especially the VEGN one - just because it says vegan, doesn't make it so - they invest in plenty of non-vegan companies unfortunately. I made a vegan only (and if it has non-vegan parts - I add a note) investment database for anyone who wants to check it out! If these entities just invested in vegan companies - I bet veganism would grow much quicker. But not just investing in veganism only - the demand has to be there too for the impact to happen! You can't just invest in a vegan company or transition a non-vegan one if no one supports it! That's the main issue in vegan investing!

29:34 I don't like kombucha because of the alcohol content in it - I wrote about how it's a health scam on my website within the past few days - just to make money off of other's misery - by doing tax evasion, but that might be why you might be having iron issues - alcohol (and I feel even in small amounts - there's 'no safe limit' found) depletes iron absorption, along with storing it in the body (since it destroys the liver). I saw someone the other day with teeth issues and they wanted them to get better, but they were drinking kombucha - where alcohol destroys the mouth as well - and they didn't want to give it up, due to being brainwashed by the kombucha industry and the idea that 'some' people got 'healed' by it - even though you can do the same healing without the alcohol. Something to look into. I'm about a 0 alcohol life and to rid the health sections of kombucha! No more government allowed tax health scams for me!

28:53 afaik - neither nuts nor meat nor mushrooms are high in iron - a misconception that I feel leads to low iron in humans in the first place (from what I remember, there's a few exceptions - but even the 'exceptions' are meager).

28:48 men can counter this by donating blood.

28:58 but it's sold online!

27:56 I try to post on reddit - but the vegan debate thread put my account at -500 points by trolls who just wanted to talk me down just for the sake of it, because they did that to everyone - so it's near impossible to bring it up, because when you get downvotes like that - your posts don't go through anymore to bounce it back up.

26:05 thyme has the most iron of any food period. Heme iron is preferred - because the body absorbs what it needs without short-circuiting the brain - according to dr barnard. I have my top 5 iron sources on my personal website. Most vegan foods that're high in iron are also high in vitamin c. You can also do white mulberries.

21:03 sounds like mcd's doesn't know its customers.

17:34 sounds like someone's in need of watermelon workouts. Come on - that watermelon makes a great kettleball minus the handle lol

16:42 forget an ice pack - just crack open that watermelon already and keep cool. If you eat watermelon - doubt you'd need an ice pack lol

16:19 I was going to say - there's a vegan online store I order at - called 'the vegetarian site' (I can't give the link lest youtube deletes my comment). It's in my fully vegan online stores database - if you'd like me to send that to you too. A lot of vegan companies are in connecticut - like lesser evil, etc. - if I am not buying from my own state to support it - I try to buy from connecticut if possible to support the veganism there. That's probably why you see pops ups there lol.

16:17 sounds like kerri has an opportunity to start their own and grab the market - as I say: you can see a challenge as a struggle or opportunity. I see it as an opportunity - I'm a cup half full kind of person.

14:32 same - connecticut has many unknown towns

9:33 I'll take a slice - hey - you at least gave us a digital 'slice' (i.e. - view) of it lol

6:05 sometimes summer might last into january! It depends on the year, but october and even november can be hot - it's like you wait for summer to end - and it just doesn't. But it's unpredictable - and that's why you'll see californians freezing at relatively warm temperatures - caught off guard by the cold when they expect warmth.

4:55 I knew you were going to comb your hair with it lol. Pretty soon you'll spin your hair like spaghetti lol

2:02 sounds pretty cool - but being retired - everyday is a day off lol. So the concept is going to still be foreign, even after explaining lol.

What he was eating then ???

sent my email - did you receive it? I know sometimes we get busy and don't focus on it, but just making sure in case you didn't see it but were looking.

Seals and Croft sing Summer Breeze. Great yacht rock tune

I loved Tattooed Chef!! They were my go to for “fast food!” RATS!!!

I don't have kids but if I did I would make sure they grew up with the story The Emperor's New Clothes. It's a great example of how a majority of people can be mistaken.

Nice video lass well said.🌱🌍💚🍀

Very nice.🌱🌅🍀

Looks delicious to be fair, enjoy!🌱🌅🍀

Censorship is not the answer, free speech for the air flyer!🌱😉🎵🍀

I feel like it will be a lot easier to change minds about puppets than food or even clothing. People have less attachment to how puppets are made. Of course some people will get upset if Big Bird gets a makeover, but the show addresses that through the dog character and the song It Still Looks Good. That's the brilliance of Kindness Town.

Regarding California Forever: they own the land, but local laws limit development. In November Solano County voters will get a chance to vote whether to allow the developers to proceed. California Forever is doing lots of outreach, and they have a good chance of winning. It won't be a vegan city of course, but it's planned to be walkable. Whether they win or not, California and probably the rest of the country needs more housing. Edit: I totally get peoples' skepticism. If I were in Solano County I would have to take a long hard look before deciding how to vote. As it is, all I can do is watch and hope it goes well.

Cheese is anything but happy for the victims.

How about a little commotion for the Watermelon Man? (for what it's worth, he has a way bigger truck this year) www.newhavenindependent.org/article/watermelons

This stream was way too fun 😂Thanks especially to my special guest 🍉

I visited South Korea as a tourist last September and I never went hungry, there were many 100% vegan restaurants in Seoul and Busan (more than we could try) and I still daydream about the food we ate! I tried so many new flavours and dishes

Lentils are nasty, but the leeks seem like a far more likely culprit.

Lewis is now my favorite athlete ❤

This was the first video of yours I've seen. Loved it! Subscribed.

I really recommend the book "Veganism and Eating Disorder Recovery" by Jenn Friedman about the approach of vegans get when they're inpatient care or even admitting that they are vegan when they are dealing with an eating disorder to mental health professionals.
