The background is not important to me. What is important, is all that awesome informations you share with us my man 👏🙌🌱💪 Thank you!

[ThisIsHolyJJ]

Thanks for yet another excellent video. The fact that you've read through so many pages of jargon filled literature and then summarized it in plain English for us viewers is greatly appreciated. Really glad that science is giving us clearer answers these days, and good people like yourself are spreading the awareness of scientific findings. Keep up the incredible work brother! 💪🙏

As a vegan archaeological scientist myself, I endorse this message.

Re: green screen - not necessarily, but definitely more wigs & costumes. Love that.

[Reznic]

Your puns ALWAYS get me. I’m a sucker for a good pun 😂

Also as for the green screen I like it but it’s not like its why I watch your videos so I’m fairly indifferent ☺️

Plant Based since 4/20/21, Mic your videos have helped me alot thank you for all you do!.

[jannacoyote]

I like this background you have here. It feels natural & soothing. I never did care too much for green screens. 🤷🏻‍♀️💜🐚💜🤷🏻‍♂️

[EarthtoRosita]

i honestly prefer this background you had

I live in rural Malaysia and there are many Malays that know most of the edible plants in the jungle especially the tubers (ubi kayu = cassava) with many different varieties. The ubi kayu plant grows like a weed and is easily propagated by breaking off a branch and rooting in the soil. It's still a staple 600k years later.🙂

Leave the leaves! As always, informative and concise. I point anyone who questions nutrition and veganism to you. Thanks

So after going vegan for a year I gave up all sugars after a visit to my dentist, as a celiac our dental enamel is not great. I was astonished and so was my dentist that after two years my gums basically regenerated. This was confirmed by a x-ray on a tooth which was of concern before and after. His believe was that it was the vegan / sugar free environment which had allowed my mouth bacteria to change, thus allowing remineralization.

I read the book Catching Fire which was super interesting, and it’s cool to hear about this new piece of information about the strep bacteria and interaction with amylase. Thanks for passing along the info 😊👍

As a dietetics student and someone who's interested in human evolution, I was so happy seeing this article come out. Our brain growth is so much more consistent with high-starch diets than it is with animal foods.

Well, it makes sense. I have thrived my entire 25 year long life on almost exclusively plants, and completely without meat. In my experience potatos are one of the most energy-giving amazing foods I can eat.

[keketayv]

So thankful for my biology background. This was great info! I actual can understand what I learned a little better when I can relate it directly to actual life things vs a book! #veganlife

Bro I swear it was 100% mammoth and ... whale blubber. Tubers and veggetables weren’t invented until 2001 when Y2K gave the soy gmo gene patent to microsoft

thanks for your videos, always helpful and interesting. (green screen: not needed, but keep creating whatever way you like best) However I do enjoy viewing the quoted materials, and being able to read the material in context as you quote it.
This video was super interesting! Thanks for doing the heavy reading! 💕📚 🌻💪

The really huge massive people in my peer group are the most scared of carbs, all carbs including the healthy kind are bad according to them. They all love their palo or lo carb diets, neither obviously doing them much good.

[asldfjkalsdfjasdf]

So McDougall gets his view supported again and again.
Seems like he is right ... we are starchivores

The background is fine.
No need for the greenscreen unless it makes your life easier with the effects in the video.
Thank you for your work!

[anushkarachelmendonce]

Your content is so engaging I don't need a green screen to be engaged!
