wow, that recipe …
wow, that recipe looks REALLY good. i wil have to make it! thank u for posting
timetode, science …
timetode, science does not support your philosophy. eating meat works, but also, so do vegetables. it just happens that when one survive on just vegetables, the incidence of cancer, diabetes, autoimmune disease, and literally hundreds of various long-term health ailments will be lower.
nobody is forcing their philosophy down your throat. but taking such vehement offense to the suggestion makes me wonder if you don’t have insecurities on the subject. doesn’t matter, science has spoken.
“actually we can …
“actually we can easily get lots of omega 3 from flax seed,”
Oh BTW…Flaxseed oil, although an expensive commodity, is an excellent alternative to animal oils…Im learning to cook with it and mask the bitter taste..(or maybe im just getting used to it)..Excellent suggestion
“actually we can …
“actually we can easily get lots of omega 3 from flax seed, and whats wrong with educating children? Meat IS BAD! ”
FALSE!….Meat is not bad for anyone..never has been…Eating excessive amounts of animal fat is however proven to shorten ones lifespan…However, there is an obvious difference between those who manage themselves properly within the Vegan lifestyle…and those that do not…I can walk into a room and point out 90% of the Vegans immediately…Pale, thin, malnurished people.
actually we can …
actually we can easily get lots of omega 3 from flax seed, and whats wrong with educating children? Meat IS BAD!
Oh yum. I wish I …
Oh yum. I wish I was in that kitchen! I could imagine all the flavors and textures. *nom nom nom*
“I’m vegan because …
“I’m vegan because that makes me happy and I live happily. BTW, I do eat mashed potatoes (best thing in life). ”
You know what…I applaud you for that…If your a Vegan because it makes you happy, and feel good..then I applaud you and im happy for you…What my issue with some Vegans is the demonization of those who eat meat…And i feel it is dangerous to provide so little knowledge while promoting a major lifestyle change to children who have no idea how to manage themselves.
Do you know what ” …
Do you know what “handicap” means?
I do not encourage others to be vegan; I’m not that kind of person that tells others: Hey, do this, or do that! That’s stupid; if someone wants to be vegan, so be it, if they don’t, that’s good, too. I’m vegan because that makes me happy and I live happily. BTW, I do eat mashed potatoes (best thing in life).
“Still think I’m …
“Still think I’m sick or anything”
Throughout history people have acheived great feats athletically, and intellectually, despite certain handicaps…Your handicap is self induced…I dont think your phisically Ill…I think you may be dillusional though…and encouraging others to ume your handicap is very irresponsible.,..Go eat a thick juicy steak and a mound of fresh mashed potatoes every night for a week and see how much better your facilites work
Why would you …
Why would you dispise me? just because I’m saying whay I think? You just said what you think and I don’t despise you, And for the record, I only have A+ and A- in every single subject. Can you swim 7 km. every day? can you run 5 km. in less than 15 minutes? everyone can be healthy, despite what they eat, if they know HOW to balance everthing else, so don’t tell me what I need. Oh, I forgot one thing, English isn’t my first language. Still think I’m sick or anything?
“Lots of people …
“Lots of people like to be vegans, you don’t, well, you can say so, but in a nice way, don’t you think”
Lots of people sit on a high horse looking down their noses at other peoples lifestyles…I dont like your vegan attitude..and i despise you and your pale complected sickly lookin friends telling children that eating meat is bad..when their brains need it for proper developement…Your brain obviously never got the omega 3s or 6s it needed…Now your a few cans short of a six pack.
This looks good but …
This looks good but I wish you would let us know the exact measurements.
Hi Lydia,
I was …
Hi Lydia,
I was wondering when you are going to make another video? Can you please explain why Coconut oil is good, I am getting mixed messages. I’m currently following Dr McDougall plan for weight loss which cuts out all oils and would like to try your recipes. Thank you.
im sorry but your …
im sorry but your too skinny
I rarely eat meat …
I rarely eat meat myself and my diet consists mainly of raw vegetables, but what i find absolutely nonsensical about Vegan saying “I have more energy and have more mental clarity” from not eating Meat!. The Nonsensical part is that vegans still eat unhealthy stamina reducing and mental fog inducing crap like Sugar & Wheat Flour, not to mention a plethora of other items, which biologically is not good for the body, which suggest to me that half of the way Vegans feel is based on Placebo.
how do you know …
how do you know that for certain. Just know, 80% of the vegans and vegetarians said something similar to that at one point!
go grass fed beef!!!
go grass fed beef!!!
saturated fat does …
saturated fat does not cause heart disease. coconut oil has medium chain fatty acids and is the best oil for humans.
it is not pointless …
it is not pointless. What are you doing here anyway, if you don’t like it? don’t like it, don’t watch it, it’s very simple. Lots of people like to be vegans, you don’t, well, you can say so, but in a nice way, don’t you think?
Id be miserable to …
Id be miserable to if I was a Vegan.
what a pointless diet
you look and talk …
you look and talk so miserably during the entire presentation…it would be much more enjoyable to watch if you talked the way you did from 9:18 on (when explaining your reasoning for veganism). Just some advice, not criticizing. Also, coconut oil is so high in saturated fat that it would eventually cause heart disease.
Check out a video …
Check out a video here, PROTEIN MYTH By Tim Van Orden
He is a 40 yr old Vegan Super Athlete in Amazing condition attempting to make the US Olympic Team ! It clearly demonstrates why we’ve all been lied to about Protein. Check this out ! It will rock your Misconceptions and stir you to think about just how much we are lied to in this Society of Profits and control , Fight back with the Truth , Spread the word !
I wish we could …
I wish we could have an actual tried and tested and formal pronouncement on the value of coconut oil. I’ve cooked with it….it gained a bad reputation….i think back in the 50′s????someone correct me here…sorry. But the coconut and all of it’s derivatives…from what I learned in Food and Nutrition….are a power food…it’s an actual way to ‘survive’….on a desolate island….okay…..now….i’m having a fantasy…sorry….but…I agree with you, talented chef!
do you know the …
do you know the name of the the background music? anyone?
I feel loved, lol …
