I recently decided I wanted to become vegetarian and it was quite hard for me at first because most of my family eats meat and so have I for most of my life but now I've gotten into it its much more easy for me :)
i try not to eat meat, but my family is like "you'll die without meat! you have to eat it!" and im like ok but if i eat meat then my chances of a heart attack will go up ! ha! actually i will live longer if i dont eat meat. i eat very little meat and all my sister does it eat meat.
You don't need meat but you need complete proteins ( in quinoa and soja) and omega 3 ( who is normally found in fish ) and omega 6 ( in red meat) but you can find these in some oils. Oh and last thing don't use butterine instead of butter because it can cause cancers... use oil! olive oil is the best oil! If this can help you for your new vegan life! And I've got some classes so this may be true! Well I hope so...
I met MCR at 8, i'm 20 now. Frank was always my inspiration to be a vegetarian, but my parents wouldn't allow me to stop eating meat till i was 18, so i convinced them at 17 and became vegetarian. After 2 years of vegetarianism i became vegan 8 months ago and I really have to thank this man because he was my main inspiration. Animals are my friends and i don't want anyone to hurt them ever. No animal tested cosmetics, no animal fur, no food that contains any part of them. They're friends, not food, not experiments. They're not ours. Vegan is the answer 🌱💜
You totally should!! I went vegan about a year and a half ago after being veggie for a few years and it's one of the best things I've ever done! There was a bit of a learning curve at first but I got used to it after the first month or so and it was way easier than I expected, I love it :D there are loads of good videos on youtube and websites with recipes and advice...good luck!
The video is called "if slaughter houses had glass walls" it's narrorated be Paul McCartney and it's very sad. If it wasn't for Kalel kitten I wouldn't have watched it like 4 months ago and I would still be eating meat.
this is why i love mcr soo damn much!! they are one of the few bands that actually shows how great their talent is and doesnt give two shits about the fame and the money, they are a band that actually cares about whats going on in the world and they have a voice that speaks through them and their music! and thank u frank for forever inspiring me and thank u for inspiring me to be a vegetarian C:
i love how caring mcr is..not just in the aspect of being vegan but trying to encourage kids to do selfless things and to be good to one another..you dont see any body else really thats so down to earth and so genuine like they are...its so sweet..they truly are beautiful people inside and out
I'm vegetarian, mainly for the reason meat makes me feel physically sick. I just don't understand how someone could eat the flesh of another living thing.
•HeavyDirtyCraftbabySoul • hey, if you health is bad is perhaps because you don't eat (complete) proteins anymore try quinoa and soja these are pretty good! And don't forget to add some oil to have omega 6 ( sunflower oil) and omega 3 ( olive or nuts oil)! I hope it can help you😘
Awhh Frank! :D This man gives me inspiration and hope. I totally agree with the reason he became vegetarian/vegan or whatever he is. I'm the same, I couldn't stand to even hear about slaughter so I decided to stand out and make a lifestyle change. I'm proud of him.
I love Frankie, he's such a great guy. I'm glad he is willing to speak out like this, not just about animal cruelty and veganism, but about doing selfless deeds for other people. He's such a sweetheart
i've been an MCR fan for about two years now, but I just found out yesterday that Frank is a vegetarian. I didn't know it was possible for me to love this man any more than I already had, but now I do!
"i found out about where my food came from and the cruelty involved in killing animals. No human being can watch a Video of animals being slaughtered and rightfully go out and get a hamburger.Animal testing is so Bizarre to find it acceptable to torture animals for cosmetics and Bullshit that we don't need. You just have to have common decency for our fellow men. Treat people the way you want to be treated and to really take care of our world because if you don't give a shit about it who will?
It really helps me, as a vegetarian, that he is saying this, and that he takes action about it. He was the one who inspired me with becoming a vegetarian, and helps mee keep going by saying this.
I love Frank. This is one of the many reasons that he is like....my idol. I'm a vegetarian. I don't remember whether I was before or after I saw this video...but w.e. Frank Iero ROX!!!!
AH I saw that video too it always comes up on the side of my facebook saying 'Ever Wonder Why Frank iero is Vegeterian - Watch This Shocking Video' and I did and I've been vegeterian for six years...
I know I'm 10 years late to this video but Frank was one of people who got me to start thinking about where my food comes from. Now I'm starting to go vegan and honestly couldn't be happier. No more excuses, the cruelty animals endure is so wrong and I don't want to fund it anymore.
More bands should care as much as My Chem do, because after all, kids look up to their favourite bands so much. But so few of those bands use that admiration to try and change the world for the better. I really respect frank for this. pretending that the world is perfect is not going to make its imperfections just magically dissapear. one good deed from every person, everyday would really make a difference
I had no idea he was so woke. I grew up on old school punk so never really got in these guys but always had respect for them and enjoyed the few songs I have heard. So stoked to see this. They should all watch Dominion on CZcams
right on ^^ lol. I'm a vegetarian too. I totally agree with frank's video, and I'm glad I found this video cause it just helps me keep going. Being a vegetarian isn't always easy, any kind of support is always helpful. To know that frank, one of the guys from one of my favorite bands is a vegetarian.. idk, it's just really... motivational.
I saw this video in November and because of it I've been vegetarian since the end of December. When you find out the cruelty involved it's obvious that we just shouldn't be using animals like that. Everybody should watch 'meet your meat' on Peta's site to start off with.Those of you saying aw I love chicken too much or whatever just watch a few videos or something it'll really change your view. Being vegetarian isn't difficult and it's such a good thing to do, for so many reasons.
@RANDOMWICKED Awee well I'm glad :D But yea that thought definately keeps you in the right state of mind. When you go to your local grocery store get products like "morning star" and "boca" and any other meatless products. It's a tad bit pricey... but so worth it. and it's really good for you
I think the first time I saw this video I was either already a vegetarian or was planning on it. Frank Iero is my idol! He really is just such an awesome person. Also really really talented. Though I do have one question: He's he vegan or vegetarian. I keep wondering that and I can't figure it out.
A few years ago I looked up all the horrible stuff they do to the animals we eat- the way they raise them and then butcher them. I was so saddened and shocked that I told my friends I was going to turn vegetarian but then I remembered I hate vegetables and my favorite food is meat. I just wish they were more humane to the animals. Kudos to Frankie for speaking out about the issue!
im vegetarian, but not coz of Frank, i was veggie before i knew about him :) one of the many reasons i love him for, he actually cares about other people than himself.
This video made me search some information about how animals are being treated in slaughterhouses and it's just terrible. Now I still eat fish for proteins and stuff, but I don't eat meat anymore! :) Frank should be proud of himself. This vid has made a lot of people (like me) aware of the bad treatments of animals. Thank you Frank! :)
He's a real rolemodel isnt he. im veggie, and have bee for a while now my dad hates it but im not giving up, its wrong. and frankies right. people think that this music and the people playing in bands such as mcr and lets say the used and MSI set a bad example. but really theyre an insperation with what they do. what a insperation. :) in proud to call myself a fan. FranksMyHero TheyAllAre x
I'll think about that while you think about this do you even know how many animals are force breed ? Honestly I think we would be okay if every one was vegetarian....but I know that will never happen
thank you frank for speak up for animals. im on my way to vegetarianism, half way:D no more red meat for me working on the rest :D thanks you've bee an inspiration!
i have ben a vegetarian for at least 2 monthes and a agre with frank so much and when people eat meat i dont care but i try to educate them on whear thar food comes from when people say we were made to eat meat we are you cant change that but toay sociaty toke the meat bissness to far if you ask me thay slauter 30 cows alive in at least 1 minit im in my teens and happy what im doing with my life
=] frank is so sweet. im trying to go vegetarian but my mother makes me eat wat she cooks =/ once im 14 i will be totally meat free because i truly love all animals. i cry when i spider is killed
i'm like going to write a paper about animal abuse and let the princpal of my school read. i hope he likes it and i hope everyone could make a difference b/c animals don't need that!!
Frank is awesome. I agree with everything he said 100%. I've been a vegetarian since I was young because I saw a video of a slaughter house. Animal testing is terrible too.
My dad said I can be a vegetarian soon cause he just doesn't have the time yet to help me with it. But everytime I eat a form of meat I feel bad because I think of what they do to animals and its awful. I say to my friends whenever they mention bacon or something that I don't like it. Trying to kick the habit. I -3 Frank and MCR
I became a vegan 2 years ago at school the food is mainly meat, so it was really hard at the begining, 'cause I was really into meat, but I made through and my whole family supports me.
Yay! I'm a vegetarian and people are all like, 'How do you survive without bacon/chicken/whatever?' and it annoys me. But this is too awesome for words!! :D I love how Frank always wants people to do good :) He's amazing! -3
im a FRENCH VEGITARIAN !!!! (well im like half british). My dad almost died when i told him i was becoming a veggie. Most of my french family dont even no what a vegitarian is!!! hehe i love frank.
Frank Iero is the model of human that came to say amazing things. The rest of the world could be shit, but remember we still have this amazing human being.
We weren't meant to consume processed sugar and corn syrup either but that hardly stops people. There are a lot of things humans aren't and/or 'supposed' to do, we adapt and change.
That is deep. I've seen so many things and I can't even eat it anymore....i can't bare the thought of what all the animals go through for testing and for people's food. it's just discusting! I am fourteen and I will speak up for animals until the day i die!!!!
im soooooooooooooo with you frank i found out were my food comes from and now im a vegitarian but there is a down side to it my hole family eats meat so they just dont worry about feeding me which is ok cuz im a good cook but they should at lest care a lil' about animals
@Allureist I totally agree with the fact that humans are "made" to eat meat, like you said it's nature. But I'm vegan because of the meat production. If everyone really knew what is going on and how animals are slaughtered I don't think they would buy that meat. The fact that the animals that are bred for slaughter live in terrible conditions, are genetically modified and die in a horrible way is the reason why i just don't buy it and why i don't help those companies or whatever to prosper.
When the only reason you knew he was vegan was because of all the fanfiction and you just came here to see where it all came from
potatolandqueen omfg yes 😂😂😂
potatolandqueen bro Mee too!
Saw this video back in 2010 before I even knew what fanfiction was... brooo
LMAO YES
Sameeee
I'm vegetarian, and I haven't looked back, it's really easy.
Shellie adkins veganism is easy too :)
Sakurah123456able
i'm thinking about going vegan :)
Shellie adkins That's great :D
I recently decided I wanted to become vegetarian and it was quite hard for me at first because most of my family eats meat and so have I for most of my life but now I've gotten into it its much more easy for me :)
shiloh
1.) WHY YOU'RE NAME
2.) I don't understand how you guys don't eat meat. I could never do it.
HOLY SHIT I JUST FOUND OUT THAT FRANK IS VEGAN! I'M SO HAPPY I DIDN'T KNOW I COULD LOVE THAT MAN ANY MORE THAN I DO
IT‘S BEEN SIX YEARS, BUT I COULDN‘T AGREE MORE
I didn't think it was possible to love Frank more than I already did, he's such an amazing person aw
Matthew Lush is vegan.... Frankie is vegan.
Welp, I guess I'm going vegan.
holy fuck you are amazing and same.
September Bade Frank's actually vegetarian not vegan
September Bade he's vegitarian not a vegan there's a big difference
i try not to eat meat, but my family is like "you'll die without meat! you have to eat it!" and im like ok but if i eat meat then my chances of a heart attack will go up ! ha! actually i will live longer if i dont eat meat. i eat very little meat and all my sister does it eat meat.
humans weren't even designed to eat flesh
You don't need meat but you need complete proteins ( in quinoa and soja) and omega 3 ( who is normally found in fish ) and omega 6 ( in red meat) but you can find these in some oils. Oh and last thing don't use butterine instead of butter because it can cause cancers... use oil! olive oil is the best oil!
If this can help you for your new vegan life! And I've got some classes so this may be true! Well I hope so...
I’ve been vegan for 11 years! Get them to the The Game Changers on CZcams or Netflix
I met MCR at 8, i'm 20 now. Frank was always my inspiration to be a vegetarian, but my parents wouldn't allow me to stop eating meat till i was 18, so i convinced them at 17 and became vegetarian.

You totally should!! I went vegan about a year and a half ago after being veggie for a few years and it's one of the best things I've ever done!

Why I love Frank.
If frank is vegan then okay call me vegan now because I'm changing my food choice!! ..... Umm yay?!?
The video is called "if slaughter houses had glass walls" it's narrorated be Paul McCartney and it's very sad. If it wasn't for Kalel kitten I wouldn't have watched it like 4 months ago and I would still be eating meat.
Same here, I saw Kalel's video on that over a year ago and then proceeded to watch the videos she talked about, which made me become vegetarian.
this is the custest thing i've ever seen .seriously i can't be more in love with this man
I really love this man, he's the sweetest person in the world.
I'm vegetarian, but going vegan when I can move out of the house. :)
i never liked most meats and the idea of it sickened me so going vegitarian for a while now is god damn easy
Frank makes me want to be vegan
I'm vegetarian now and I'm looking weight it's so easy to be one knowing how you get meat
this is why i love mcr soo damn much!! they are one of the few bands that actually shows how great their talent is and doesnt give two shits about the fame and the money, they are a band that actually cares about whats going on in the world and they have a voice that speaks through them and their music! and thank u frank for forever inspiring me and thank u for inspiring me to be a vegetarian C:
Finding out that frank was a veggie as well made me happy as shit
i love how caring mcr is..not just in the aspect of being vegan but trying to encourage kids to do selfless things and to be good to one another..you dont see any body else really thats so down to earth and so genuine like they are...its so sweet..they truly are beautiful people inside and out
I'm a vegetarian so I just completely fell in love with Frank Iero
I'm vegetarian, mainly for the reason meat makes me feel physically sick. I just don't understand how someone could eat the flesh of another living thing.
Cee The Freaky Cat but it’s dead when you eat it....
I accidentally saw one of those videos on a facebook ad. Scarred for life.
Thank you, that's all I was trying to say.
I'm glad that you were able to percieve that from early on.
Thank you for being such a lovely person Frank x
I'll have my 2 month-aversery of being vegetarian tomorrow :D parteeehhhhhh
Frifri Pegasus niice! I'm vegetarian for half a year but I might have to go back to being pescatarian because my health has been really bad
Oh lol just saw how old this comment is😂😂😂
•HeavyDirtyCraftbabySoul • hey, if you health is bad is perhaps because you don't eat (complete) proteins anymore try quinoa and soja these are pretty good! And don't forget to add some oil to have omega 6 ( sunflower oil) and omega 3 ( olive or nuts oil)! I hope it can help you😘

Frank is such an inspiration to me, it really means a lot to hear him say those words.
God bless him, I love him!
Awhh Frank! :D This man gives me inspiration and hope.
I totally agree with the reason he became vegetarian/vegan or whatever he is. I'm the same, I couldn't stand to even hear about slaughter so I decided to stand out and make a lifestyle change.
I'm proud of him.
YAY!!! send me the link when you're done please!!!
I love Frankie, he's such a great guy. I'm glad he is willing to speak out like this, not just about animal cruelty and veganism, but about doing selfless deeds for other people. He's such a sweetheart

@evilfinchman okay thanks heaps. I will try to buy some lentils and beans. and I will do some more research.
I had no idea he was so woke. I grew up on old school punk so never really got in these guys but always had respect for them and enjoyed the few songs I have heard. So stoked to see this. They should all watch Dominion on CZcams
my mom [and dad] did the same exact thing
but i kept telling them no and refusing to eat it etc. and gradually they backed down
Thank you :)

I think the first time I saw this video I was either already a vegetarian or was planning on it.
Frank Iero is my idol! He really is just such an awesome person. Also really really talented.
Though I do have one question: He's he vegan or vegetarian. I keep wondering that and I can't figure it out.
i'm not a vegetarian, but what he just said pretty much owns my soul right now.
I tried, but its so freaking hard! I diddn't realise what stuff you have to go through to become veggie
A few years ago I looked up all the horrible stuff they do to the animals we eat- the way they raise them and then butcher them. I was so saddened and shocked that I told my friends I was going to turn vegetarian but then I remembered I hate vegetables and my favorite food is meat.

Frank should be proud of himself. This vid has made a lot of people (like me) aware of the bad treatments of animals. Thank you Frank! :)
Honestly, you can't get better morals than this.
He's so young in this😭
He's a real rolemodel isnt he.
im veggie, and have bee for a while now my dad hates it but im not giving up, its wrong. and frankies right.

I respect Frank for doing this and this proves that members of My Chem are truly selfless... I like being an omnivore though...
I'll think about that while you think about this do you even know how many animals are force breed ? Honestly I think we would be okay if every one was vegetarian....but I know that will never happen
Right on, and it's Notawesomeatall7 not 77
Frank is such an amazing person.
Sometimes even the whole world is going to be against you, but if it's good you need to stand up for yourself. x
thank you frank for speak up for animals. im on my way to vegetarianism, half way:D no more red meat for me working on the rest :D
