makes me sad that some vegans hate on you when you are actually one person that cares!!
Klara Verschuur anyone who hates on her facts obviously needs a reality check..
I'm not even vegan and I still love watching her because she actually uses her brain on things (I am a reducitarin and actively hurt the meat industry's bottom line just staying before someone jumps down my throat)
Some of her videos say stupid, ridiculous shit. This video however is great
Yeah people are too sensitive..
@@80slimshadys Just out of curiosity which videos of hers do you dislike / disagree with?
For being against animal abuse, these people are a walking irony
you do realize they dont intentionally try to starve their chilren ? Most times they dont notice that what you're feeding your child may not be enough. I was an overweight child at some point but my parents loved me like hell, does that mean they abused me ? No lol they just dont know much about nutrition like most parents
NOTE: i feel like there is a misunderstanding in what i was trying to say prior to a year ago, in no way am i saying this is a justification for child neglect. Nothing can every justify that, however, it is an explanation as to why this may occur. I am soley trying to give out a reason as to why this happened bc truly i dont believe that most people have the heart to starve or overfeed their children, and this couple in specific i dont think intentionally tried harming their children. Repeating once more, it doesn't have a justification for the underlying issues, and I'm not trying to side that what they're doing is okay
Dante Gomez how do u not know ur kid is starving
@@jborrego2406 the same way you dont know ur overfeeding your child
Dante Gomez Yeah..I think parents are pretty aware of when they are underfeeding, you would notice the child isn’t developing correctly. And if they genuinely couldn’t notice they’re child was underfed and barely developing then maybe they shouldn’t have kids.
@@cai3886 sometimes things go unnoticed. You never know until its too late. I had a friend who got diagnosed with diabetes as a kid. Im sure as hell their parents wouldve tried to prevent it if they knew what was going on. Symptoms at times arent shown and thats the scary part. I believe that if we have kids, we should be taking care of them properly and such but cant you be at least a little understanding that not all parents are evil bc they dont always notice their children are lacking in nutrients and minerals. I mean c'mon most westerners dont care about nutrition and what they feed their children yet we still give them the golden pass solely bc of "culture"
This is why home economics/nutrition should be compulsory in schools.
OhLookAWoodenSheep I agree, but I don’t think it would do any good to the people who believe everything from a school is brainwashing, and every professional nutritionist is brainwashed etc
This goes much deeper than that.
At least an updated nutrition information. Now, my high school didn't require home ec, but did require us to take a health class for a semester (where the other semester would be gym) were we did talk about "proper nutrition". The problem with their lessons though is that they were extremely outdated, using videos and text books from the 80's and early 90's and this was 2009 when I took health class. A lot of the stuff that we were taught were also inaccurate like saying the BMI charts are accurate for everyone. Also, from what I gathered that my high school's home ec class taught, weren't even really healthy recipes. A lot of the times they were cakes, pasta dishes, casseroles. So, it's not just about having these classes available but also making sure there is accurate and updated information in these classes.
It isn't? America is weird
In Finland nutrition is taught appropriately according to age to children. I remember learning about the plate model and the food pyramid when I was a kid, about 8 years old maybe? Home economics is taught for one school year (7th grade, kids are 13) for three hours a week. In home economics kids learn how to plan a proper meal, how to cook, how to clean and how to manage a household. In home economics class they also make vegetarian meals and talk about vegan meals and how to balance them. In Health ed. class you also learn about nutrition amongst other things related to health and well-being.
I am really grateful that I am receiving this kind of education.
Plain chickpeas and rice has to be the most tasteless combo ever hahaha, why does nothing she give her kid have seasoning on it???
Admittedly 6-19 months old children need little flavoring but including anything (bell pepper, mushrooms, literally anything) else is quite necessary...
I thought there was gonna be some curry or shit but it's just bland sad ass carbs lol
Oh yeah...seasoning...that has all the nutrients...its not just something to make it actually go down...it has like...nutrients...probably?
@@Butmunch666
Given that many of these children are still Brest feed iron (and protein (as contained)) would be the first future demands, given that herbs have higher concentration of certain nutrients than some vegetables, making pesto(ingredients may vary) flavored rice, tomato flavored rice and Carot&potato mash isn't the worst introduction to food.
@@fionafiona1146 the kid that she gave that meal to i think is 9 years old
"Maybe it's because feeding kids vegan is hard unless you know a lot about nutrition". THANKS for this. Many peopel think going vegan is just throwing away meat and stuff and you're good. Not even in adults, especially not in kids.
But it's humans' natural diet! How can our natural diet require any knowledge at all??
If you didn't grow up eating plant based then it means so much more than just throwing away meat ect, you gotta LEARN, and understand nutrition in my opinion.
@@UntakenNick because we have been brainwashed for the past 200 hundred years, we now think that you can't even get protein unless you have a huge portion of meat in your meal, if animal products were our natural diet them why is everyone so fat and diseased if we still ate instinctively?
80 Slim Shady's I think iamagainst was sarcastically referencing the common reply nutritionally deficient vegans give to any criticism of their diet and any/all deficiencies it may include... at least that’s what I hope
@@pingu5455 you may be right, you'd hope lol
yall vegan fold do yourselves a favor and look for indian recipes. there's so, so many healthy and delicious vegan dishes we have that are healthy and fulfilling
Vae vegan indian food has honestly saved me. i’m not fully vegan but i aspire to make as many meals as i can without inconveniencing my family vegan, and getting a vegan indian cookbook is the best purchase i’ve made
aaa omg i never thought of that
Vae
I’ve tried Indian food and it was so good! I didn’t really know what anything was but I think there were eggs and something kind of like a chip? I don’t know but it was really good and it was vegetarian :)
Yesss you can put some many beans in that shit, I'm extremely happy I live in a mostly Indian and Pakistani area of my city in the UK. Cheap bulk spices, everyone will offer you delicious recipes and tips
Yes!! As an Vegan Indian I can confirm!! Some of the food tasted just like meat and can subdue your craving, and it’s completely vegan!!
Why is no one using oils, nuts and seeds wtf ...
Or other pulses. My uni food plan is to make salad/baked potato topping from tomatoes, spices and lentils or chickpeas cooked down to a thick mixture (like slightly overcooked baked beans...)
@@emjenkins464 wow, that sounds super tasty! No wonder though that the world makes fun of vegans if this "eat some raw pepper for lunch" stuff is how they are represented on youtube and social media. I wouldn't want to eat like that.
A lot of plant based doctors that people are looking to recommend really low fat diets (no oils/no more than an oz of nuts per day/fatty foods like nuts are just an "occassional treat"). And Swayze gets called a shill/fake vegan for criticising that 🤷♀️
@@christina7454 I think it's because people in general think that all types of sugar and fat are bad for them, which simply is not true. But all this "light, zero sugar and low fat is always the healthiest choice" narrative that has been appearing on packaging, in media and everywhere basically forever now left people scared of everything fat and sugar too sometimes. Really sad how people, even though we have all this knowledge made available for everyone at any time, are still unable to do some basic research.
Babies STILL need breast milk. Almond milk, and plant based milk does NOT work for infants.
Then people wonder why their kids are “picky eaters”. Vegan or not, so many people don’t know how to prepare meals and they make bland ass food with no seasoning or spices or culture or FLAVOR. It’s so sad
I remember seeing this vlog of this vegan mom feeding her daughter pretty much an apple or a handful or berries, vegan buttered noodles or quinoa and some bland chickpeas or broccoli every single day and I literally said "oh that poor child". Her daughter looked very healthy and she was getting nutrients but in the most boring way possible.
So glad to be Caribbean. I've seen the mess people call food. Not prepared with love. No soul. Bland and boring. Like the cook!
The problem is lack of formula milk here. Nutrition for babies starts with formula or breastmilk. It’s clear that she is stunted at baby level she obviously didn’t get formula or breastmilk.
@@KittyKat-vb1nd All vegans are boring people and most of them are weirdos. Even the woman i this video says that mentally ill people are (for some reason) attracted to veganism.
@@datatsushi2016 yep.
Girl, you smart. And I’m sorry for that. Being smart in a world of idiots is an awful burden. Not saying I’M smart. I just imagine that it would be terrible. Good on you though.
I think having some self-awareness and humility is a decent indicator of intellect. Most people possess more intellect than they realize, they just lack control over their temperament. Surely you have smarts, even if the knowledge bank isn't necessarily what you desire. Everyone is on a journey.
So true lol.
Being smart in a world of idiots is an awful burden. ......this is so true!
You're giving this airhead a little too much credit, or perhaps your standards of intelligence are extremely low. Unnatural Vegan is a moron.
@@RJ-dw4jw What makes you say that? I'm a new viewer, haven't formed an opinion yet
I am SO glad you spoke about Monami Frost. Thought I was the only one who saw that it wasn‘t right. I commented on a video once that it was not nutritionally adequate to eat rice with ketchup and lettuce for lunch and that the whole day was lacking in so many nutrients and I was shocked at the amount of vegans, who defended her and said „mind your own business“ or „it‘s only a day“. Like... okay but why do you choose that day to put dangerous advice out there 🤦🏾♀️ thanks for the great video.
I've not watched her videos...but...rice, lettuce and ketchup!?!?! 🤢🤢 that is not a meal!
Monami looks like she's dying.
But kids can be so picky. I see her daughter eat tomatoes and fruit and all kinds of healthy foods I couldn’t get my kids to touch no matter what strategy I tried. I remember days I felt so guilty because I swear all they had were some goldfish. But they were never sick and were normal size. They’re in their 20s now and grew to normal size and still healthy. Thank God I had no one was judging me.
@@patty-cf7jj Yes but you weren't promoting your and your children's diets for profit.
Monami mentioned that her daughter's favorite food or meal is rice with ketchup, hence why she eats it so much. That's like giving a child dry cereal for breakfast because they love cereal but they are fussy and don't like it with milk. It's not a complete meal but I've seen many parents do it and I'm from a Slavic country where nutrition is very black&white. We have a big "grandma" culture a.k.a whatever granny gives you, you eat and you don't question how healthy things are because most of the time it's fried, "soul" type of food that's high in fat or sugar but if you dare speak about that or judge the food that it's given, it will be viewed as very disrespectful. My granny used to give me and my little brother HALF A CHICKEN with corn and fries for lunch when we were little and now that I'm vegan she and my grandpa still give my little brother things like frozen pizza, candy, chips and soda and when I tell them it's not healthy they say mind-blowing things like "but having soda is like drinking water and having pizza is basically eating 2-3 slices of bread". My point is: 95% of the population is fed a diet that is probably not nutritionally adequate but we are still somewhat "healthy". Kids in Asian countries eat rice with veggies for lunch, breakfast and dinner and that according to their country is considered a healthy meal. If you didn't give the child rice for a meal it would be called child abuse. She has a burger place, I'm sure Gabby eats there very often too so she has her "favorite" meals at home.
"the child isn't even vaccinated"
*shocked pikachu meme*
@@Jim55324 Bruh
@@Jim55324 i don't think you have a grasp on what vaccines are and how they function...
@@haighostu7364 What is every ingredient in every vaccine? Do you know? Trust me you don't!🤔
@@stargatekeeper3303 actually i am medically trained, and i do know quite a bit about vaccines and how they function pathologically, as well as why its drastically less dangerous to be vaccinated than the alternative, but okay.
@@Jim55324 just to clarify, some vaccines do contain mercur, BUT the amount of mercury in the vaccine itself is so low that isn't dangerous for the body, remember it's not the ingredient itself what makes it dangerous or poisonous for the body but the dosification of it ( i'm sorry for any grammar mistake, english it's not my first language)
Nutrition aside, I could not hang with this no spice life these moms seem to be eating.
I don't think that's because they're vegan, it's because they can't cook 😂
I know, those plain chickpeas no thank you
i have never seen a sadder salad than that sad tasteless watery iceberg with the sad tomatoes and sad cucumber slices. no wonder kids will not eat it.
@@katyadishian3939 and plain rice and raw veggies with it. No sauce, no spices. Kill me 😂
Baltic people can’t season for shit anyway lmfao
Wait- that’s all Europeans
I eat plant-based. My husband eats vegetarian. My kids eat plant-based at home and eat out of the home as the people I trust to help take care of them see fit. They eat tofu, they eat chicken, they drink almond milk, they drink cow milk. As they get older they can decide if they want to eat a vegan diet. They are well fed, well taken care of and very very loved. People can judge me for letting my kids eat meat sometimes. But I do my best and they are healthy and happy.
That's really so great.
That's one of the most sensible comments I've seen in a while.
That's the way it should be.
No child should be on any diet. It's just storing up huge issues for the future.
Why is eating meat bad? Humans are omnivores.
@@spuilloh2637 This is a bit of a mean, psychotic comment. For starters, you have no right to judge anyone's choice in what they feed their kids as long as they are getting what they need, and this lady sounds like she's fulfilling those needs
Second, stop with the vegan dick measuring contest. Every vegan seems to have it out for everyone else to judge how vegan they are, how they're not good enough etc.
Thirdly, many children love meat. Many children lack the desire to give up meat with their level of understanding. What you're suggesting is shocking them with gruesome stories of animal abuse to scare them into veganism, which I find cruel and manipulative. As a parent, you can control a child's perspective.
She feeds her kids plant based/vegetarian, but she doesn't control every aspect of their life, like of they're at a friend's house and have to tell the mom they can't eat anything. This'll help them grow up socially much better.
It's okay to let your children decide. If you believe in "conditioning to eat meat", then how the hell did most vegans choose for themselves to become vegan? Controlling a child isn't good, and if this is how she chooses to let her child grow up and make their own choice when they're older, you have no right to act like a condescending judge.
I once read a complaint about you on Reddit that said you "only criticize other vegans." But it seems to me that the online vegan community NEEDS healthy criticism from within. There's this weird veneer of pretty, goggle-eyed thin people talking about "wellness" or some other bullshit, but underneath it is a pus-filled wound of psychos, orthorexia, and the queen of both those camps, Freelee. Good for you, Swayze. Keep it up.
ThisIsViridus i agree, their plates look so pretty but we should understand more about what’s missing from their diets.
Well said ThisisViridus
This needed to be said. :)
ThisIsViridus i agree that she just trashes other people
Why doesnt she do vegan meals and vegan lifestyle
You dont have to dim someone else's light in order 2 make yours shine brighter
I love the healthy criticism point!
I’m from Germany and I love eating raw radishes and when I was growing up it wasn’t uncommon that some kids had raw radishes in their lunchbox
My 6 year old daughter loves radishes me not so much lol
My mom would slice it for me before dinner, to distract my hungry belly while i was waiting
I loved it! I am from Brazil tho
I'm American and my husband is Mexican and we both love radishes! He showed me putting salt and lime on them though and that's really yummy too lol
Tina Yael Severinovna M. Same in poland
Yass, I love the slight spiciness to them.
When your really young that is when you REALLY need protein and fat.
Thats why breastmilk is mostly proteins and fat!
@@jokerzbabe13 and food. 😒😒
@Ross Shapov You can get high protein on a plant based food. I think a Vegan diet is too extreme for a child though.
Moron, you always need protein and fat.
...and when you are really old...
AND all of the time in-between.
This is completely off topic but you look like Velma from Scooby doo

I've been trying to figure out who she reminds me of for like 3 years. THANK YOU
And she likes to get to the bottom of things! 🔍
Someone comments this on every single video
For real ! Especially when she wears orange 🍊
I thought radishes were eaten raw everywhere, I can’t imagine what they’d be like cooked!
Kind of like a potato! It's a great potato sub if you're like..diabetic or trying to cut down on carbs in like stews in stuff. If I ever have radishes going off I throw them in a soup. Okay so Cooked radishes are best Ina stew or soup hahaha
If you roast radishes, it's not that bad, but I just eat them raw.
Cold radish with salt
I have never eaten them cooked either. I have eaten a few different types and I like them raw and can't get enough.
Lots of people eat them cooked too with spices on it or steamed with some spices n lemon. So good
I'm vegan, but why tf would you not give your baby milk? Human breast milk is vegan because it's given with CONSENT

So vegan means not eating things without consent? Lmao
When the family says the excuse for starving their kid is “veganism” then it should be mentioned. Just like if a family abuses or kills their kid and blame their religion it should be mentioned. The reason people do things is the whole story .
...the whole story is that the people who do these kinds of things are ignorant or psychotic, or both.
Nothing about the couple is Vegan. Veganism also entails compassion. Which clearly these parents don’t have. I mean they didn’t even take her to a Dr on a regular basis. They are whack jobs that so happen to be Vegan.
Here in Germany, eating raw radishes is quite common. Most people eat it from their childhood on. It's really good with a little bit of salt, sliced into a salad or put onto a sourdough bread with butter.
Loranita yessss! I always ate that as a child! I live in Canada but am German.
Is sooo lecker!
Yep I grew up eating raw radishes, raw cabbage and raw turnips.
@@meanpoutine7095 It's also common in Mexican culture.
Ive never tried that but it sounds pretty good i might try it =D
It’s simple. Vegans need to promote seeing a doctor and researching nutrition. If this mother payed attention and took her child to the doctor they would have been alerted & helped the child.
She didn't vaccinate, didn't submit a birth certificare and didn't add her child to her Medicare Card (Australian Government health card we all carry to get medical/prescription/hospital etc). It's illegal not to register a birth in Australia (they even give you all the forms at the hospital). They weren't the ignorant poor, they were the opposite (they live in a 1M+ suburb). They both made a conscious decision to hide that child from the medical fraternity/the government. Those people didn't want the Drs to know what they were doing. What I wonder is if they thought they were right, why were they hiding their actions?
Sometimes abusive parents do this deliberately to avoid scrutiny. I think it may have been deliberate, not to do with veganism but people who were abusive to Thier child and wanted to hide it. (Also sometimes parents single out one child for abuse, they had two boys already but it seems they weren't treated in the same way as the daughter was. Sad but unfortunately it happens.
TKPS exactly .. either a person who is afraid of doctors & vaccines or simply neglectful but either way mentally ill. Luckily this PSA should help invoke fear in people to make sure their kids get a balanced diet & are looked at/advised along the way incase there’s issues.
Jake S no.. both if possible but at leastttt a doctor.
Atkins was a cardiologist. Being a doctor is not enough. The people recommending 35% diet are dieticians. Being a dietician is not enough. There is no simple solution. The harsh reality is that if you want the truth you've to work hard for yourself.
I did raw vegan for several months. While the mental clarity was amazing, I was not eating the required 2lbs of greens/day- so I stopped. But HOLY COW were the raw vegan support groups incredibly self righteous. And people were constantly asking if their health problems (nausea, pain, cramping, skin rashes etc.) Everyone would chime in and tell them "oh you're just detoxing further". 🤦♀️ you are officially my favorite vegan. THANK YOU for being a long term health seeker.
Wish people would stop buying into the idea that detox is even a thing.
@@Turai12 right? it's especially "funny" to hear that in the vegan community, when a vegan diet is supposedly so good for the kidneys and liver, and so would make their body even better at naturally getting rid of bad stuff. but nooo. detox this, detox that. it's... almost... as if it's... not about ....health... at all?
As a Hispanic, I love raw raddishes. They're really good.
Elie yes 🙌🏻
literally no pozole is complete without raw raddish
In Europe all people eat them raw.
As a HISPANIC, do you like rice too, senora?? That seems to be important, tina taco.
I’m Caucasian and a Mexican restaurant in North Carolina where I used to live would always give out raw radishes with meals. They’re tasty!
I remember reading the 30bananas forum a couple years back and a woman was upset that a friend was feeding formula to her infant. Someone suggested that she tell her friend to feed the infant bananas. JUST bananas. To, like, a 2 month old. Blew my mind not only that someone suggested this, but that nobody called it out as an absolutely terrible idea.
K. C.W who’s morals exactly?
Because to vegans, vegetarians and multiple religions, whatever your diet may be is likely immoral and backward.
A properly balanced vegan diet is neither immoral or backward.
@K. C.W I was raised almost 100% vegan and I was literally the tallest kid in my class, and was always extremely healthy. I've had my blood work done and Im very healthy. I'm also overweight, nowhere close to being malnourished
This shit is bananas B A N A N A S
@K. C.W That's so stupid it's actually funny. You wouldn't be force-feeding them a restricted diet. You'd just be feeding them what you chose to feed them. Like every parent. What's forced about it? When my brother and I were children, we hated eating meat. My brother wouldn't swallow it. He walked around all day with a big wad in his cheeks and throwing crying fits. Did anyone tell my parents they were immoral for continuing to press us to eat it? No. Everyone has a 'refused to eat broccoli' type of story. I am sure your parents made you learn/just made you to eat it or some other vegetable too. So long as their nutritional requirements are met, it's neither immoral or backward to decide what you feed your family.
@K. C.W neither saturated fat or cholesterol are necessary nutrients in anyone's diet. The Academy of Nutrition and Dietetics, Canadian Pediatric Society, the British Dietetic Association, the NHS all say vegan diets are appropriate for all life stages. I'm going to trust them over your obviously poor nutritional understanding.

@@kaylzzzza there's a reason why people who become vegans need a meat replacement, usually found in plants like beans.
Kids are picky, so limiting food ( while good intentioned) makes having vegan children more difficult. If it isn't working, and your child isn't eating then you have to do whatever it takes to get your child the vitamins it takes.
yep, my youngest had a totally picky phase. We ended up including chicken and fish into the veggie diet, just to include the other nutrients. Thank goodness he ate that, plus fresh fruit.
For a lot of vegan "influencers" and the most vocal vegans on the net, it's not about health or ethics. It's about control. They need to feel like they're in control of their bodies and their world, and controlling their food is a way to do that. It's why so many are borderline anorexic, because anorexia also has a control component. Labeling it Vegan lets them hide their issues and insecurities under a veneer of moral superiority so they have a ready response to people who are worried about them. Getting informed and learning about proper nutrition is out of the question because it forces them to put themselves into question.
The enemy of veganism isn't anti-vegan meat eaters, it's both these "Vegans" and poor mental health support and education.
exactly
Yes. I thought of this as she stated the lunatics, anorexics, conspiracy theory, fring outliers are drawn to this. Some of it is mental illness, like she says, but most of it is due to high levels of narcissism. You see this often in health guru's, therapists, and clergy. They project an image that is beyond reproach, but in reality their stance is less based on fact, and more based on their desire to be right, in control, worshipped, and trusted without question. It has very severe consequences on naive people, which is why I encourage everyone to do their own research, not with opinion pieces written by self-proclaimed guru's and influencers, but written by impartial research firms/colleges.
Anti-vegans probably do less harm to veganism then tolerence of psuedo sciences ever had.
@Bricheese Art I suffered from many eating disorders, I am pretty recovered these days, been vegan for 2 years and am so much better mentally. So yes some people will use veganism to hide behind but I would say that's only a minority
Yup. Freelee. She used to have an eating disorder and she still does.

I’m vegan and I can’t stomach raw veggies with the exception of celery, cherry tomatoes, and baby carrots, and salad ofc. If I put veggies in my food it needs to be cooked or sautéed or baked and seasoned with olive oil or spices or something to give them flavor. I could never ever commit to a raw vegan diet, especially when there are so many delicious vegan dairy and meat alternatives out there.
Yeah raw veg is so damn hard to digest and a lot of those nutrients will mostly just go to waste

13 year vegan. In university completing my nutrition degree. I am terrified for the future of vegan children with the nonsense, grossly inadequate, and misinformed information I see promoted by these influencers.
I truly believe there should be tighter regulations which extends to social media platforms which restricts non-educated people from giving this nutritional (read: medical) advice.
I'm terrified when I see these "educated" people recommend 35% fat diet and a lot of supplements. I wonder why UV can't do a video on the thousands of people that have been poisoned by the calcium supplements she recommends? This doesn't fit her narrative eh?
Imaginary Number only way you can be poisoned by calcium supplements is if you take more than recommended via what you eat or the supplements themselves
@@Justaperson354 You get poisoned by calcium supplements if your kidney aren't healthy and can't excrete quickly enough the excess calcium. All the calcium from pills is in excess, it does nothing good unless you're in metabolic acidosis. You also get poisoned by supplements because they're full of pollutants. The production quality is always low. They're just garbage to be used as little as possible.
@@Justaperson354 there is epidemeological data showing thousands of people developed metabolic alkalosos due to calcium supplements. This is a deadly problem. These people are trying to prevent osteoporosis. It's the nonsense promoted by UV and the like. I had obtained the incidence on US population but I've forgot the number. Maybe it's as high as 0.5% of population. I honestly don't remember. It's a disaster anyway. Clueless people like UV and most dieticians should stop prescribing pills to people. They're harming a lot of people.
@@Justaperson354 I think UV is just a stupid person. At least stupid by my standards. She believes that osteoporosis is at least in some cases due to calcium deficiency. At the same time, she believes meat eating doesn't cause calcium deficiency despite the fact that it's proven to remove calcium from the body. She is just inconsistent and she doesn't even see it. I believe calcium deficiency has almost nothing to do with osteoporosis. I say almost because in extreme cases like the Eskimo it probably had something to do with it. UV just repeats what she has heard without doing any real work.
It's scary, we as a nation are vastly under educated about health and nutrition.
it's not only in the US, I am sure
NatuHealth Those studies are based on replacing Saturated and trans fats from fast food, and highly processed meats in the western diet with the nuts, yes it reduces the risk of these things, but it is still bad. You are getting all the omega 6 from the linoleic acid, and barely converting the ALA omega 3s to EPA and DHA. So yes it is better for you than bad saturated fats and trans fats, but it is not healthier than high quality animal fats.
@@TheNaturalHealthBlogger Yes they "offer" health benefits because they are healthier than the saturated fats that western diets are consuming, they are still bad, there are so many factors to these hypothesis' that if you even eliminate one factor it can literally change the correlation to something from positive to negative. These studies are based on western diets, western diets consist of mostly fast food, processed garbage, sugar and fast forming carbohydrates, you cannot deny this. There is an insignificant amount of people in the west consuming ONLY local pastured organic foods, which are obviously good for the development and health of humans.
@@TheNaturalHealthBlogger Can you please send the link to the study, thanks!
Stop saying everything is scary. It's free will. Their problem they know better. Second when you feel scared say no I have power and this is what I'm going to do about it. Finding a solution, searching for answers. Dont spread fear. spread POWERRRRR
After my father passed away, I went through a 7 month OCD episode where I was watching vegan influencers like first thing in the morning and trying so hard to be vegan, and I just felt so fucking lost and confused. Veganism attracted me when I was mentally ill because you are validated through CZcams and Instagram, the food is colorful and pretty and makes you feel better about yourself, and it gives you a sense of control. I would count my calories, carbs fats and protein, vitamins and minerals, etc and it was so damn stressful. But me planning out food for the week and wasting half of it and hating myself when falling off the diet is not healthy. Now that I’m out of it (your videos helped) I feel even more in control, clear headed, and overall just relaxed. It’s even easier to be vegan than it was before. The mass online “vegan community” can truly be incredibly toxic for ppl with eating disorders and other mental illnesses like OCD (I don’t use the term OCD as an adjective, I am diagnosed). Thank you so much for the content you make!! ❤️
have you thought about incorporating insects into your diet? insects are an invaluable source of nutrients that a just nonexistent in a vegan diet.
*Dude can we get some good ideas for meals for kids that are adequate from you!!!! PLEASE*
lol @ Jake Bell feeding his kids based on what will win them a fight.
anyway, UV already has a few "what my vegan toddler ate today" videos up on this channel!
@Jake BELL Actually eats veg is a natural diet unlike meat which isn't, fish which isn't how is a slaughterhouse natural? answer it is not all you do is go to a shop buy a chicken or whatever meat is on the shelf but the acts behide it is not natural or moral.
Stir fry tofu/tempeh with veges on rice. Easy to make, has everything you need (protein, fat, veges, carbs) and is filling enough to satisfy a kid.
@@vtheory7531 actually no, feed them a variety of everything in small portions, including desserts and also allow them to dislike 2 things that they've tried but don't like ..... and you eat whatever you like. When they are 15/16 let them choose their own diet and if you followed my advice when they were small they will choose the perfect balanced diet and you won't have to worry about anything.
@@issax4667 This was just 1 dish idea, not a whole diet plan. Of course kids should try a variety of food. But since this is a Vegan video I thought I'd give a Vegan dish idea ok?
I once commented on a Monami Frost video about what she ate in a day while pregnant. I told her how unhealthy it was to eat so much sugar and carbs crammed into so few calories, and how her unborn baby was taking the brunt of her poor choices. I suggested more avocados on her toast and some pea protein powder in her smoothie bowls. Things that are both vegan and incredibly simple to incorporate into her regular diet and I was attacked for it by vegans who said ‘it’s just a day, mind your business.’ She even disabled the comments on that video and then made a separate video afterwards ranting about how she’s fine and we need to leave her alone. Yet she’s literally putting herself out there as a vegan role model. The whole community is so toxic and so willing to turn a blind eye to obviously inappropriate diet choices because they’re too proud and ignorant to admit they need to go back to the drawing board and actually learn about balanced nutrition.
What if you made a video on what you consider the optimal vegan diet and people commented on how unhealthy and deficient it is for lacking animal products and being full of sugar and anti-nutrients.. how would you react?
IAmAgainst well, like I said, she puts herself out there as a vegan role model. It is, quite literally, her job to do better. If she’s going to put something up on the internet that’s unhealthy and unbalanced, then she’s going to get backlash from people who actually know about nutrition, vegan or not. She gives herself and the community a bad name when she’s eating an incomplete diet and then broadcasting it like its okay and normal. That gives anti-vegans all the fuel they need to do what they do and it also opens the doors for competent vegans to criticize and make suggestions. Because at the end of the day, she’s a popular face of the community and she’s promoting a harmful way of eating.
@@UntakenNick That's ridiculous. If it were indeed an optimal vegan diet, you'd just show them the nutritional facts... You can't argue against facts. Just because someone says your dinner isn't good enough, doesn't make it true :P How do you survive in comment sections if you take everything people write for truth?
@@emileegorman7049 You're missing my point. You people criticize her for promoting a diet that is slightly more deficient than yours when at the end of the day any vegan diet is unnatural, unhealthy and incomplete.
IAmAgainst First of all, I’m not a vegan, so you can miss me with that attitude. I’m not even a vegetarian. Second, the whole point of my original comment to Monami was to give her advice about eating a more balanced diet while pregnant, because I’m tired of seeing starving women on social media who know nothing about nutrition taking it upon themselves to spread misinformation to their followers. A vegan diet can be balanced with the right supplements, but you never see it because most of the popular faces in the community just want to sit on a beach somewhere with their ukulele and eat fruit all day. It’s their JOB to be a vegan role model. They signed up for it. No one put a gun to their head. And most of them aren’t doing good enough. Go to any of their comment sections and you’ll see people as young as 11 or 12 saying they want to go vegan and save the animals and be healthy, but since these role models they admire so much aren’t giving them facts and data and proof that their diets are safe and whole, these kids will just mimic what they see and the cycle will repeat itself. That’s why I’m upset. Not at veganism, just at vegans.
Monami is also the kind of person who made a video about piercing her own cheeks and didnt really give any warning about why you shouldnt do it yourself. For anyone who doesnt know, cheek piercings need to be done by an experienced professional piercer cuz if you get the wrong place you risk piecing a saliva gland, not to mention how much tissue you have to go through, placement with gums, and just the fact that you need multiple follow ups to check on the healing and switch the jewlery to accomidate swelling.
Also her husband did his own demal anchor and removed it himself and she was chill with it, cuz you know a piercing that involves punching out skin and slide jewlery in it is def something to do yourself.
her husbands a body piercer though
Yeah her husband is a professional tho and she probably thought her viewers knew that since she talks about it a lot and he's kinda famous for it
Matthew Maltese she did...what to herself...?

@@trickster_198danny5 it's child abuse.
@Fluffy Hamster gorillas and humans are different. Our bodies need different things and we absorb differently than gorillas do.
@Fluffy Hamster you can. But it takes being really careful with your diet and knowing what to eat. Most people do not so they end up missing out on all of that. You also have to eat a ton of veggies to get the amount you need. Which is why nuts, seed, beans and protein powder help. Just eating lettuce gives you very little.
"who eats raw radishes ?" Looks down at bowl of radishes…. your not supposed to eat them raw? With a pinch of salt, never eaten them any other way..
I’ve never heard of cooked radishes
As someone who never eats radishes, based on all these comments I can't even tell anymore if its more mainstream to eat cooked radishes or raw anymore
@@KD-ou2nphahah I can only imagine :) Apparently you can eat them both ways. What is normal depends on the country you live in. Genarally what is eaten raw can be cooked, and what's eaten cooked is probably better that way. Making it odd if someone eats it raw if you only know it to be cooked.

I think you are the only vegan on this platform who even "believes" in bioavailability.
I literally hide being a vegan as much as possible and she is the only logical youtuber that makes me feel like vegan isn't a dirty word.
UV is not completely honest, though. I'm not for paleo and her argument still holds, but I'm not aware of there ever being a case of paleo child malnutrition. It's not a valid comparison to veganism. Veganism is much more dangerous, especially for children, and many people will never be educated enough to eat a proper vegan diet. Promoting it must be done very carefully, if at all. It's better to just teach people better nutrition until the population knows enough, and only then think about taking the leap towards abolishing animal products from their diets
I think many of the vocal vegans present their diet as the "correct" diet for humans or even claim we're frugivores or herbivores, so of course they can't say plants aren’t as easily digested as animal foods. I'll never understand the need to make stupid arguments when there are already so many good arguments for veganism.
@J Alex Summer except most vegans arent happy or love.....
Explain how come that vegan is not good for children, but ok for adults later, what happend to us that we get so diffedenr that we can adapt to it
I never knew ppl cooked radishes, I've always just eaten them raw (though sliced)
I feel these parents fail to understand that an Adult diet is not suited for a child. The diet the mother mentioned sounded too low in calories and kids really need those calories.
Honestly, I think this is happening so often because social media and CZcams give absolutely everybody a platform, including uneducated people and lunatics. Same reason anti-vaxx and juice cleanses got so popular too. People like and even idolise who they watch, which makes people not question anything that person shows or says. Great video once again!
Gokcen Yuzer anti vaxx ???
What about the anti vaxx??
When people with a huge platform (take Kat von D for example) talk about not getting their baby vaccinated and associate that with veganism and safety, people who idolise her tend to second guess and even reject something so important as vaccines. Over the last few years less people vaccinate their kids and this is part if why.
@@gokcenyuzer5459 i think you should do more research about vaccine..

Swayze, have you ever considered getting a degree in nutrition and dietetics? It just seems like the natural trajectory for you. That's my two cents. Thanks for all the great videos!
BaristaWithADog I fully agree
I agree. Watching UV was what inspired me to go into Dietetics. Now finishing my third year at university and it was the best decision I ever made!!
@@TheSkaterJo that's awesome 😊
Why would she bother when she makes just as much money if not more selling you idiots lies she read on google
She is sick and using antidepressants. Why u ever take her serious?
Can you make a vid where you explain the vitamins and things you need as an adult and as a kid. Not everyone has insurance to go to a nutritionist...
Lmao that's a good idea
Yes! Love unatural vegan and her logical, scientific approach, but at times I can get frustrated with how she wants you to basically become a full out researcher for nutrition or see a dietitian. Many cannot afford to see a dietitian, don't have the time, resources, or education to properly research (with all the missinformation and illegitimate sources out there this can be a very difficult task), or simply do not understand or cannot grasp wide nutritional ideas. Nutrition can be confusing, even for well educated and scientific thinkers! I would love if she did a series where she breaks down our nutritional needs for adults and kids, what fulfilling those needs does for our bodies, and how you can fullfill them (generally or vegan focused). I know shes not a nutritionist and I love that she makes sure to stress that, but because she isn't one she can often make the information more understandable to the general public. 😍
@@kiernanscanlon8965 sorry for this novel... but, unfortunately, it's not really practical or fair to ask her to essentially summarize a minimum of 4 years of formal education into a [series of] video[s]. Not only is nutrition confusing for educated folk, but what we learn about it changes... well... basically all the time. Adding a vegan component to it actually makes it even trickier since there is not as much research for every nutritional component in the same way there has been for a traditional omnivorous diet. You have to start understanding concepts like bio-availability and ditch everything you know about RDAs, because the amount of iron your body absorbs from plants is not the same amount of iron your body absorbs from meats, despite being labeled as having an equivalent amount, or that you should be consuming sugar with plant-based iron in order to increase bio-availability, or, again, how much your body can actually use (2013 Christides, Sharp). The human body is just way too complicated, and there are so many nutritional related problems that can happen (sometimes, it is what you're eating, sometimes, it is your genetics making your body not use it right), that it is impossible to cover everything. Just listen to your body. If you feel healthy, you are probably doing something right. If you aren't feeling healthy, you either need to research what is ailing you for yourself, or talk (AND LISTEN) to a professional, even (I can't stress this enough...) if it means (temporarily) abandoning your diet/lifestyle to get achieve good health. If you can find the solution in a standard diet, figure out how to get there with your preferred diet. Also, recognize and respect that what might work for your body, might not work for others. Health is not black and white; vegan or omnivore...
Wolf's Bayne or yea know it’s called fucking google??
Go to the EdX website. You can freely audit university nutrition courses. I did two recently from a European university. You can pay to get the university credit in some courses or take the tests but that isn't necessary
It's also good for other university courses, not just nutrition
I really appreciate your channel. Some online vegans are utterly foul, your calm, reasonable style is so refreshing.
People from Eastern Europe eat a lot of raw radishes. I used to eat them when I was a kid and I eat them now😊 I like Monami, but she should include more fat, like nuts or avocado..

“Lunatics drawn to veganism” that explains a lot of channels on here and a lot of vegans I see in festivals and gatherings.

Never been to a vegan festival. Can you say what made you leave so soon?
shortgirl65 probably the lunatics
There was an anti-vaxx and an MLM essential oils booth at my town’s VegFest 😕.
@Rose Laverdure I've run groups and meetups in the vegan movement for a long time and most of the vegans I've met in person, especially the ones for ethics and the environment are pro-vax.
@Rose Laverdure reminds me of a movie called scott pilgrim vs the world. Where a guy drank 1 single cup of coffee w cows milk and the vegan police came and took away his special powers saying that it doesn't matter he didn't know that it wasn't plant based. Obv that was as a joke but in a way i never forgot because vegans are very strict with each other too.
It's almost impossible to have a vegan positive community. Not sure why. I really don't know.
Serious question from someone who isn't vegan. Wouldn't breast milk be considered vegan since the mother can actually consent to it?
I'd say it is. most (reasonable) vegans who can breastfeed (some can't for various reasons) do it.
If it's freely given, it's vegan. Animal sheddings are vegan. Finding feathers on the ground is vegan. Eggs are technically vegan if they're from, say, a wild chicken that you came across and the egg hasn't been fertilized
@@ceilingfan4260 i mean, eggs aren't nutritionally vegan. Breast milk was designed to grow a baby human, unlike cow's milk, which was designed to grow a baby cow. I would say breast milk from a vegan mother is vegan, personally
"nutritionally vegan" is not a sensical statement
@@cgottschify it means something came from plants without being processed by an animal

There is absolutely no need for it and all that really happens is that her daughter exposed to an environment where food is scarce from a very young age, which could never not cause problems.
She doesn’t need caloric restriction at all and seeing her mother approach her diet like this is putting her at such a risk of eating disorders
@@josephinecatania4082 yeah that's fine for butter or vegemite but _not_ for peanut butter. And I'm french btw so this is just universal truth :)
@@dedoubecool sis just cause you put half of your peanut butter jar on one slice of bread doesn't make it universal truth. That's not even common sense

Regarding the radishes: here in Germany we just eat them as a snack. Just like cucumber sticks😂 I loved them even as a child! It's maybe the same in the UK and Latvia :)

Question, do you/most vegans believe in feeding their own kids their breast milk? Technically its not vegan and I've heard thats the reason why so many babies are being malnourished
Very interesting that you say that. Human breast milk is intended to feed human babies. I, as a breastfeeding mom, am not being injured or taken advantage of by breastfeeding my baby. So although not everyone is in agreement, breastfeeding can and is commonly considered vegan. Especially if the mom is following a vegan diet.
@@xxnekonekox Id find it interesting to know why you think it's technically not vegan? Being vegan is about not exploiting and harming other beings so, I'm not being exploited by feeding my daughter breast milk because I can choose.. I think it's quite bizarre people would think that's not vegan?
@@AmySmith-kt9cj because I've heard some vegans say its still an animal product, which is bizarre to me bc I agree with you, and since they believe that its still an animal product they give their child a substitue like almond, coconut, potato (not sure what exactly) and their child subsequently ends up starving or being severely malnourished like we see in these articles she talks about
@@xxnekonekox I agree and I have heard the same so I think it's important we spread the truth that it is technically vegan and hopefully misinformation won't harm any more babies 💜

Sadly, you are maybe the only voice of reason in the vegan community.
It's great that there is at least one vegan "influencer" who is not anti-vax, who is pro GMO and does not promote some crazy diet.
In case you don't know of it check out the FB page Vegan GMO
Breast milk is vegan. Fight me about it.
😂😂😂
there's no fighting about it, the mother is consenting to feeding her baby so it's absolutely vegan!!
@@eumesmo1892 I understand the matter of consent but the baby would need breast milk/formula regardless, in any situation.
@Good Cook Oh there's no doubt about the benefits of breast milk. I just mentioned formula in the case of mothers who couldn't produce breast milk or for families who have single fathers. Besides, there's a whole market around it and there's many babies who grew up on formula fine.
Technically it's not, but it is "ok" because it is given with consent and NEEDS to be given to a baby at least for a short amount of time. Me and my sister were raised vegan and we had breast milk and my parents are super strict vegans
A study from the U.K. found that, on average, vegan children are over an inch shorter than their peers with weaker and brittle bones. They are also three times more likely to be vitamin B12 deficient than those who are omnivorous. This study looked at nearly 200 children from the ages of five to ten years old, 52 of which were vegans. B12 deficiency has been linked to abnormal mood and brain disorders, depression, weakness or fatigue, changes in balance or coordination, damage to the optic nerve causing blurred vision, disruptions in myelination, and inflammatory processes.

I’ve only ever eaten them raw, it’s totally normal here in Germany 😅

I don’t think I’ve ever had a radish lol. Only place I’ve ever seen them used is raw on a salad, but I always pushed them to the side
Radishes are often boiled and then mashed, maybe mixed with a cream or butter (my brother uses equal parts vegan marginarine and cashew milk). They’re also a popular garnish in North America.
My family eats them raw, but people find it odd.
@@christyfinnegan1300 boiled? Wow, I have never heard that. Only ever eat them raw in salads.
We eat them raw here all the time. Sliced with dip or in salads. But also cooked in stir fry and pickled are delicious! My son doesn’t love them raw but he will eat them in stir fry.
I am not even vegan and I subscribed. I absolutely love the way that you talk about this. One of your videos showed up on my feed and I was interested because that particular title sounded interesting and then saw this video and just wanted to see how you present the topic. We need more people like you being the voice for different types of restrictive diets! Yes these diets can be wonderfully healthy but it is so important to get properly educated and so many people don't want to put in that effort. Of course with any diet it is important to be educated but especially when you are taking away most peoples staple foods for certain important vitamins and proteins. I didn't even know a few years ago that there were different types of protein until I was doing research on the vegetarian diet.
Thank you for making videos ❤
I just started watching your videos s few months ago and you are amazing. I was vegan for about 2 years to help my mom get healthy and help her lose some weight- so I started getting creative with what I cooked. I made almost all her food meal prep style (shes actively ignorant when it comes to learning how to cook lol so I’m figured it’d be easier to just double what I made her and eat that; so I was an incidental vegan but ended up really liking it)
I cooked her favorite flavors and recipes and made them all vegan with a bit of effort. I did all this in my mid to late 20s in my own kitchen then drove it 30 mins to her house twice a week when I went to see her so she’d have healthy and delicious food. I love my mother and it was fun learning about substitutions and cooking new menus and figuring out how to make everything healthier and pack it all with all kinds of nutrients, if can do that and work full time and basically support by boyfriend, how can someone not do this for their own kids? I just don’t understand? I get sometimes you’re in a rush or can’t cook or you’re ignorant about what is healthy, you learn becasue you love someone. The woman that wrote the article is half right, neglect is neglect, but like you said this kid starved for the parents inane beliefs that they’re foisting on their kid. I understand it is more pricey sometimes, but I didn’t spend a ton of money, I was able to budget pretty damn well and it was a bit cheaper not buying a variety of meat- aside from what my boyfriend wanted- it’s about how your prioritize. If the parents can afford the diet then they can afford to give the kid something balanced.
I don’t have a child yet but there isn’t a single belief I hold in this world that I wouldn’t break for my kids, really any kids, health, safety, and well being.
That being said, I did all this nutritional research and my vitamin D levels still tanked (I have kidney issues too so it wasn’t solely diet, my levels weren’t great to start but they got so low I was on 10,000iu prescribed a day) yeah it’s hard to balance everything. When it becomes dangerous is when you have to sacrifice your bullshit and worry about the life of your kid instead of if there is dairy in formula. I just can’t imagine a growing child that’s being fed basically potato water (which is like the least nutritious food on earth) being able to function or their brain to function, it’s disgusting.
I've always thought the same about Manomi Frost, thank you for these kinds of videos!
Now about the radishes. In Europe we eat raw radishes in salads but also raw as a snack, and in sandwiches
@Jessie Jay yes exactly hahaha! I thought that was normal everywhere, but apparently not
@Jessie Jay No everybody eats it Denmark, also kids. I have s Lithuanian friend who also eats radishes raw. Never heard of Apple pie with cheese :D
Jessie Jay my mom and all her siblings still do that just like their dad!! Lol
We eat radishes raw in the US, too -- we usually cut them up, though. I think UV was commenting on them being left whole, which is weird in the US. We don't cook radishes, y'all.
Jessie Jay dipping radishes into salt!!
I don't know how far this would go, but I strongly wish that my education featured a detailed and lengthy course explicitly revolving around nutrition and went into detail not only about standard nutrition, but about vitamins, allergies, various diets and dietary restrictions and how to do each and every one of them in a safe and healthy way--at least the ones that aren't so crazy restrictive that they can't be done in a healthy and safe way. Maybe a part of the problem is that education on diets is so heavily ignored in this country where I can't even remember a nutrition lecture in any of my health classes. We also don't really put any emphasis on dietitians to the point where I've had conversations with people who didn't even know that was a real profession. I mean It's complaining about something that will probably never be changed whereas at least your discussion could possibly reach some of these influencers, but if there was a bigger emphasis on diet education, then hopefully more people wouldn't see some 98 lbs woman raving about the newest 8-bananas-and-an-almond diet and think for a second that this is something perfect for a 6 month old toddler.
Lack of nutrition education is a big problem in most countries, so I don't think the US should beat itself up too much on this one. A lot of reasons cause that, from simply lack of interest on the government/education boards side to big companies lobbying to fear of parents being mad that their kids are taught that what they eat at home is trash. It's also unclear when such education should take place as our food habits form really early, but most people start caring about nutrition in their late teens if at all. On a personal side: I'm currently in med school and will have a total of 0 hours of nutrition classes before I become an MD, so a big change is definitely needed. I feel that as of now it is expcted that everyone just somehow becomes interested in nutrition and stumbles into the correct info.
I think as a society we should crawl before we walk. Getting people to understand and pay attention to macros and why we break things down into fat, carbs and protein and why they matter should be a baseline start.
A lot of people, including myself, grew up with really bad nutrition advice that just keeps getting repurposed and repackaged. There's a process of undoing that bad advice and it has to be based in a fundamental understanding of why we do these things. It's much easier to call bullshit on bad diets when you actually have a firm grasp of why eating 20 bananas in a day isn't nutritionally sound. This isn't just a vegan thing. This is a human thing.
Some level of this would be nice. Maybe dietary counseling tailored to each family's preference and redone if allergies are found. I had a milk allergy as a child (still lactose intolerant), and my mom had a really hard time giving me adequate nutrition for awhile. She had no help as well.
My B.S. in nutrition and dietetics along with my dietetic internship from ASU covered those topics in case you ever are interested in a thorough nutrition education.
my guy no. what you need in life is 12 years of theoretical mathemathics
You’re absolutely right about other diets. If there was a couple of extreme keto parents feeding their one year old nothing but bone marrow, puréed organ meat, and MCT oil, I think it would come up in the article. Side note: This reminds me of when I had my first baby. I have PCOS and only produce a couple ounces of milk a day. I was trying all these things, talking to a lactation special and all that, cuz “breast is best.” She tried to reassure me by telling me a great story of a couple who came to her with a six week old baby who hadn’t even gained back to their birth weight (you know how they lose a little right after birth then gain it back in a week?). It clicked for me then- These people fucking crazy. FED is best. Both girls had mostly formula with tiny, tiny breast milk supplements from me.
I have so much respect for you. Thank you for all your knowledge. I am subscribing today!
I loved raw radishes when I was a kid :P still eat them multiple times a week
Me too, my mom always used too pack them for my school snacks, also raw kohlrabi (I think it's some kind of turnip-Don't know for sure, I'm from Germany and english isn't my native language).
My kid loves them too :)
Yess! I have never eaten them cooked, I always assumed everyone eats them raw.. The best way to eat them in my opinion in thinly slized in a salad, it is soooo good!
@@mandi3891 what does it taste like?
@@isabellahu4606 really fresh an crunchy, almost like not quite ripe apple
You give me hope for the vegan community! Finally someone who's critical and informed! Thank you!
This video made me hit the bell. Thank you for the info and the compassion
I have recently found your channel.
You are a voice of reason on this topic and I appreciate you very much for that .
What hurts me the most, is that I’m not far from the area the Sydney couple that starved their daughter live in. Their suburb (and surrounds) is affluent, private school and university educated. $4million AUD for a house affluent. 6 figure price tag on a parking space affluent.
They had the means to provide their kids with the best and most nutritious food, to take them to the best dieticians and paediatricians in the country - many of which are within a 5 kilometre radius of their suburb. One of the two major children’s hospitals in the state is located just a 15 minute drive away.
Fuck, even if they were drowning in debt Medicare would’ve covered all of their expenses and they wouldn’t have had to spend more than the bus fare to and from the doctor.
But they didn’t. They were busy catching up with their flock of Bollinger-Bohemian mummies.
So what is your opinion of people who are _not_ affluent? As in homeschool non-affluent. As in rental house barely above broke non-affluent. Zero price parking space non-affluent. What do you do in _that_ situation?
mike4ty4 do whatever it takes to keep your kid healthy and alive.
@@user-gq2bv1dq4x I do not have a kid. And my question was meant more broadly than just "I".
I don't think anyones trying to imply that less affluent families are routinely starving their children or endagering their health or even making them maltnourished. But if you are in total poverty and become unable to feel your children properly unfortunately, that's out of your control. If you are rich then you are malnourishing your kids on purpose
They need some kale seitan
That won't help their multiple nutritional deficiencies
@@Re3iRtH It's an ongoing joke that some of her viewers have with her. A long time ago she said she was going to share a kale seitan recipe but she never did and people kept asking her about it. She has trolls that bring it up a lot in the comments of all her videos.
lola libre 😂
hail satan
@@DH-uw3us lots of trolls abound ;)
Thank you so much for this fantastic video. Great work! What you do is so so important and existential! Greetings from France ❤️
Omg I’m so thankful for this rational, balanced, sensible channel. 🙏🏻💙
Im so proud of you! Going through what you did with little baby, and tackling these people/articles is very brave of you 💕
Bless up for just being truthful and trying to put people to task.
I'm so happy I've found this channel. I found you looking for reviews of the 'Game changers'. Loving your point of views and how you communicate them. Awesome job, keep it coming please.
Raw radishes are yummy with lime and also to eat along with tacos!
Yep, I've never had a cooked radish, i love crunching on them raw with lemon and salt
Such good on tacos
Honeslty sometimes some vegans act like cult members. Eat what i say do as I say dont question my logic. That is what cults do. Btw its radish season and I love radishes and I have been eating raw radishes all my life never had it cooked
I'm scared to know what a cooked radish tastes like, I can't even imagine.
It’s the toxic SJW mentality that is so prevalent in social media. “I’m right, you’re wrong, lalalalalala can’t hear you.” The people that cry out ‘educate yourself’ seem to be the ones lacking in that the most. Logic, debate, respect, understanding and compromise are things that are growing extinct.
@@aketsuhide cooked radishes are quite tasty! I love them raw, but if you cut them in half and sauté them with their greens it makes a delicious(and pretty) side dish. Cooked radishes, like daikon, are also common in many asian dishes.
@@carolynhance5588 Does it have the same texture as a water chestnut when cooked? I've never thought of having them in anything but a salad or something I just eat as a snack. Also, do daikon radishes taste similar, since you've brought that up. :P
I grew up in a cult and when I decided to go vegan last year, I was soooo careful to avoid that legalistic mindset. I appreciate vegans like swayze that encourage research, having your own opinion, asking questions, really just doing your personal best.
My mother was (is) the best intentioned.
I was born at home. I was taken to the dentist, but never to the doctor.
I wasn't immunized. My mom believed that doctors were only for emergencies.
My mom took amazing care of me. We had a variety of foods, much of it garden grown. We lived in poverty so suffice to say, most children in well to do scenarios did not receive the care that I did, vegan or not.
We weren't plant based. We did not go to restaurants or eat fast food, we were fed meat. I asked to be vegetarian when I was 3 and my mom granted that desire despite our limited means, because she respected my moral stance.
My mom made a lot of mistakes despite her good intentions. But she fed and nourished her effing children.
My mom had no money, no resources, not even a high school education and she was painfully young. But she nourished us. She did breastfeed, which isn't required, and once we were given solid food she was diligent in what we were given to eat.
My point-people can be out there and my mom was (is). They can be terribly misguided, but that doesn't equate to total ignorance and neglect.
These people are clearly popping out "vegan" babies with no knowledge or regard to the care of a child. It IS a vegan issue. These people call themselves vegan and they're ignoring basic physiology and science BASED on their veganism. They're following dangerous vegan pseudoscience and applying it to the care of their infants and children. It IS a vegan issue; people need to stop being more concerned about veganism than the health and state of these neglected children. Yes, children can be raised as healthy vegans, of course. But that ideal should not take precedence over human lives. Come on.
Totally agree! I think these vegans believe a vegan diet will protected from them and their children from all illness.
@@VictoriaAbernethy I've had a lot of health improvements over the years. But I've been vegan for 8 years and initially, I was not following an adequate, healthy diet. I suffered from that. The first two years I just wasn't getting enough nutrients because of the way I was eating and it took a toll on me.
Once I became concerned about my nutrition, I made changes and saw great improvements. So initially, going vegan had negative impacts. Over time, extremely positive. But that's because everyone needs to focus on nutrition.
@@JennRighter I've only been vegan a year and a half. I watched what the health and thought I could solve all my problems, of which i had many. I had a rough start to my vegan journey. I fell down a lot of vegan you tuber diet trends. It's any wonder why I didn't quit but ethics played a huge part in that. It's hard to know how to eat with so much conflicting advice. I'm starting to feel better but like you it was because I focused on nutrition.
t h r e e ?
you're right, many vegans have no idea what they are talking about. a vegan diet can be healthy and you can get all the nutrients your body needs as long as you know what you are doing and the problem is people don't spend the time to research or learn about being vegan.
this is the first video I have seen where a vegan actually explains a proper vegan diet in a helpful way.
Late comment but you are one of the very few people who is so balanced. I love your vlogs. Informative and sane.
Sickens me when some vegans are like "but what about parents who feed them McDonalds for all meals?"
Gonna burst that bubble right there. Aside from saturated and trans fats, three Happy Meals a day is far more nutritionally adequate compared to a rice and oats diet. Still lacking... But at least it provides more nutrients.
And no fking shit that a Happy Meal isn't vegan. Not to mention, that's neither here nor there
What's wrong with saturated fat?
@@UntakenNick saturated fat is what causes your body to produce more cholesterol, leading to arteriosclerosis, atherosclerosis, and other cardiovascular system diseases and issues, as your arteries get clogged. ~nursing student
@@sunnybunnysky That's another one of those recent restrictions that I believe contributed to the obesity epidemic that didn't exist when I was a kid. Yes, use minimal fats compared to the rest of our diet but saturated animal fat is needed to absorb quite a few nutrients. As an older person, I never switched to vegetable oils rather stayed with butter and use animal fat for frying. I still do the meat and 3 veg, still have a small dessert, bread, full cream milk, eggs etc. Weighed the same my entire adult life and still healthy. Everything in moderation - everything. (Except maybe processed foods).
@@tkps You dont need animalfat, just fat is enough. Nothing special about a dead animal that we absolutely need ;)
@@martineo9638 yes there is. We are biologically inclined towards animals.
Heyy I love raw raddishes , how else would you eat them?? And I remember loving them as a child, too!
Roasted or in stews
I only liked raw raddishes because they had pretty colours lol
Even boiled by themselves and seasoned, or not.
What do the taste like raw? Spicy but not in a “hot” way? Or like pepper-y? Idk where I got that description from
My husband likes them fried with butter and garlic. I personally don't enjoy radishes, but he seems to love it cooked that way.
Thank you for putting light to this issue and bringing facts to the table. It is obvious that you know a lot about nutrition. It is such a hard topi because there are a lot of self-proclaimed experts out there.
I'm new to plant based eating, it's barely been a month I'm still learning how to cook vegan and you're helping me realize that I need to change alot about my diet and my childs even tho they aren't vegan, theres room to improve
If you need any help, you can ask me. I've been vegetarian all of my life, vegan for some of it. I know good recipes and such, if you need help. Just fyi, legumes and beans are a good source of protein, nuts and seeds are a good source of healthy fat, fruits and veggies are good providers of vitamins and minerals, grains are good carbohydrates. That's essentially what you need in your diet. Variety is good, don't just stick to the same thing over and over again. Best of luck, enjoy your diet and life. :)
(I don't mean this to offend, just trying to help. Do with it as you wish.)
Monami definitely needed to be called out for this! I find limiting your kids like this awful and if she’s not nutritionally informed then I hope this video is a wake up call for her... also, side note but way less important: SUCH a lack of flavour! Everything looks sooo bland it’s ridiculous!
kids like bland things though bc their taste buds are still in development.
piiinkDeluxe not true, kids like what their parents give them. My mum always cooked very tasty food and when I went to school and ate the bland school dinners I was very disappointed lol. By making everything bland and tasteless you are just setting your kid up to be a picky eater for the rest of their lives.
@@chelseafcgirl123 I guess it is the other way around, when you are ok with rather bland tastes because you are used to them, you will appreciate tasty foods when you're older but still be ok with unflavoured foods
@@piiinkDeluxe this is not actually true though. kids end up preferring bland food because we THINK they prefer bland & sweet food so that is what we start feeding them from birth (post breast/formula feeding). But the truth is, kids (and especially babies) do not taste the way we do. They do not have preconceived notions on taste of foods. You can see this plainly as many kids will start eating a bowl spicy salsa off of the table while no one is looking. Kids generally end up "liking" bland food because that is what we believe they like from birth and is what we feed them. If we were to feed them well seasoned foods and not shy away from flavorful foods like sauerkraut, kimchi, arugula, lemon, unsweetened (preferably homemade with real bacteria/cultures) yogurt/kefir and pretty much just any food we eat, they would not infact like bland food.
Bethany Day I agree 100%
you are so brilliantly well spoken, passionate and have such compelling conversations and commentary on so many topics. please never stop.
I looked up Monami and it says she was born in Latvia (from her accent I think she's a Latvian Russian, though); I'm from Latvia too, and we totally eat whole radishes like that! I grew up eating loads of them, and it's still one of my favourite veggie snacks as an adult 😁
I am an American and I am just used to having them in my salad, they are good. I had a phase where I would make these nice little salads with veggies and some rads. Yum
In Germany we eat them too. Why cut you can bite them. Nomnom
I love that you give advice not just judgement
