I was a meat (beef) and potatoes Texas boy. I went vegan in February this year over health reasons. So far I’ve lost 70 pounds. Still not as healthy as I want to be but getting there.

I absolutely love the podcast. I have been plant based for more than 25 years... I love what you said about a potential goal when you turn 95. I turned 76 in November and my desire is to live a long healthy. I don't take any medication and my daughter and granddaughter are not vegan able to knock. They keep telling me they are not ready. I did share your podcast with my granddaughter. However, thank you for what you do. I do have your cookbook and will explore more into your blog and see if I can get my granddaughter to cook a dish with me again. Thank you!

I’ve been a vegan 54 years. We had few shops of use to us and had to form our own foods. My go to shops always Indian they had the foods I could eat.
Im used to it.
I prefer my own foods but am glad I get more GF flours I need, I eat tons of beans, grains, fruit + veg. My blood tests perfect last month again except I struggle with getting enough salt.

It's worth mentioning that a lot of people are B12 deficient (~20-30% of people) and especially Vit D (most people living away from the equator, even more so if they have darker skin tones). Being vegan or not doesn't make much of a difference, these have to be supplemented for most people.

P.S. B12 is not generated by animals, but by bacteria in a cobalt-rich soil, which is not the case for most land nowadays. Farmers supplement it in their livestock, so skip the middle step and take a tiny, cheap supplement.

I thank you for this! Simnett Nutrition is a good one for guys who think they can't get protein as a vegan for bodybuilding. I love your channel best, cuz I love sweet potatoes and lentils! And you're gorgeous, so it's nice to see you teaching words of wisdom. My grand-niece got in trouble at school around halloween for saying, "I'm not supposed to eat this, cuz my mama says I shouldn't eat poo."

Just a clarification because many don't know: veganism isn't a diet, plant-based is. Vegans eat a plant-based diet, however, *very important* there's no such thing as 1 plant-based or vegan diet. Not eating animal products is a non-action, it's not a diet. The spectrum is all the way from a junk food plant-based person to whole foods plant-based (WFPB, healthiest for humans). Veganism is an ethical stance against animal abuse and exploitation, not a diet. If your health matters to you, a WFPB diet is optimal.

Something about this video/you just soothed my soul. I didn’t even realize how anxious I’d been feeling. Thank you.

Hi Loved this video. I have been following you since your days in New York City when you were cooking out of your small apartment kitchen. I love your whole approach to grocery stores, cooking equipment and receipts . Your meal planners are fabulous. You have been a big influence in my life!

[CarolynViolin]

I have followed you and your website and YouTube clips for a long time. This clip was great! You look amazing! Eating healthy makes all the difference! I've been on an organic vegan diet since about 2015. I never ever have a health problem. I have no oil whatsoever in my diet. Dr Caldwell Esselstyn: "No oil!" A vegan diet never gets boring, contrary to what some people think. I eat a ton of vegetables, with fruits and whole grains and beans and seeds. Love this diet! Keep up the great work!

Hi, I'm not vegan or intend to be. I love your channel, and it's very helpful and improved my diet. I need more vegan days or at least vegan meals. The spectrum can be vegan to non vegan and improve everybody diet. I will check your new book
