Super interesting video! I am somewhat in two minds regarding its content and conclusions, however. Let me explain: I know it is a lot of effort to do, but I wished the video would take a more general approach towards the debate — the video itself gives me the impression that a handful of studies and specific truths are taken to come to a very confident, and very universal, conclusion. In other words: I wish it would address a wider variety of products and studies, especially those which come to a seemingly contradicting conclusion. I love that the video emphasizes the importance of how food is produced and differentiates processes within the vegan diet. Yet other claims appear relatively questionable and leave me wondering. I feel like, on occasions, the content gets lost in picking out single agents and arguments, while leaving out other points that could potentially add a new perspective. F.e., picking out Beyond Meat and processed coco oil goes (in my opinion) only so far as an example when there are so many other agents that differ — I don’t remember the last time I encountered coco oil in a plant based meat alternative. Additionally, the comparison between an omnivore diet and veganism lacks significance when you pick a method of meat production that is not representative of the overall industry. Correct me if I’m wrong: ecological regenerative shared agriculture is not the norm; it seems strange to call out veganism for requiring extensive plowing and soy production while in reality a majority of harvests are used to feed livestock in conventional factory farms.
I can’t help but get the slight impression that some arguments and sources have been cherry picked. I don’t want to accuse you of anything, especially not lackluster research. Truth is, it’s simply hard to keep an overview over this debate when every article and online video presents their own studies, alleged experts and conclusions.
Cheers.
Doesn’t have to be one or the other. You can cut back on meat consumption while enjoying an occasional plant based product, and it wont hurt you.
I personally love an occasional Impossible Burger or hotdog dog as a vegan. No, I dont recomend them for daily consumption, but as an occasional treat. No one is saying to eat them daily, vegans all push for a whole food plant based diet.
NO, beef is NOT just beef… its corn, soy, chemicals, hormones and antibiotics that all went into the cow before it wasslaughtered. Us vegans just want an occasional alternative or treat to our whole food plant based diets!.
What if your cholesterol is too high and the doctor wants you to get it reduced? What is your recommendation?
