London Public: 'We Used To Be Plant-Based'

[pattiannepascual]

He is correct.Unfortunately, most Americans think the food served in Chinese restaurants, Spanish restaurants, etc, think that's what these people eat in their countries.Not true at all.The meat heavy meals are adapted to what Americans want to eat, made special for Americans, who if they visited any of those countries, would be in shock there's little to no meat on the menus.They would not know what to order.

There are no infinite animals to prey on, never were. Plants are the renewable and sustainable food.

[giulias.]

Exactly. Even the Mediterranean diet, was healthy because they mainly eat fruits, vegetables, legumes, whole grains, and very little of animal products. Now it is different, at least in Italy. People indulge too much on meats and unhealthy food.

[TheDonwiggins]

It doesn't look like he is eating mostly fruits and veggies.

[stranglar-mgie]

Exactly 💯 meat was expensive back in the day people just eat bland basic food.Seems like nodays everywhere there's rich food! That's why some people live till a good age with no health problems 100%

[joyrobert]

[julioandresgomez]

Some say that protein from cereals is undigestible lol

My grandmother was born in 1933 and said she grew up nearly plant based, out of necessity.

Look at the meat consumption graphs ... meat per capita in Asia is rising rapidly. Makes me want to cry😢

[suvaranasalvi]

No question of a bit of meat or dairy at all.

Go vegan, go vegan, got to go vegan! Stevie Wonder

Meat as a staple diet is because of Industrialization

[markus]

People are always saying "but historically we've always been eating meat". Yeah right and historically meat has always been expensive treat you'd have occasionally and plants being the majority of what people ate.

[Srindal]

I think the word hes looking for is flexitarian

[FURYBrenton]

Meat certainly isn’t used for flavouring lol

[funthm]

Correct! No idea why vegans think it's a good idea to exclude meat completely!

[JohnSmith-flqn]

Because it's expensive. Not Because is less wished

[vegannafraali]

Animals are sentient individuals, not resources!

Be vegan! ⚖️

[DaniJSareen]

He is incorrect. We eat meat before plants became a thing, get your facts right mate

[Pterified]

I don't know man. My still long canines say otherwise. Here in South Africa we eat a lot of meat and we're still healthy (for the most part).
