It makes me so sad that this video doesn't even have 1000 views. I hope you keep doing your work anyways, it is great!

Keep on not eating meat, that is fine. I just do not want to pay for your health care. Achieving optimal nutrition is quite difficult without the help of nutrient dense protein sources. The protein in most plants is of much poorer quality than eggs or meat. Human dietitians still work off of a crude protein basis yet swine nutritionists balance diets based on amino acids (amino acids make up protein). Once human nutritionists start to look at diets from an amino acid vs. crude protein basis more people will see why high quality protein is needed. Yet I do not disagree with moderation. Keep on doing what you want because in this country you are allowed. Yet I have been involved in the industry for over three decades and really know what goes on. Like any other other industry, the swine industry is not perfecy. Yet we work hard every day to care for our animals, improve and make the world a better place. Perhaps if you were involved with farmers you would know this. God bless, Mark

Please make your "link boxes" stay a bit longer on the screen when editing, put them in a corner if they bother you but it would help viewers preload their tabs better. Great stuff btw :)
-
Great work, thanks. I can't believe I've just found out about your channe!l

+Veganism Unspun
Just found you, but already love your channel.
I've recently gone vegan while backpacking in South America and having met a girl have decided to settle in Chile.
Not the most vegan friendly culture, but I've made it work and can't see myself ever going back :) -
The fact that your subscriber count isn't above a couple million yet is inexcusable.
-
when you'd rather live next to a landfill than where your "food" comes from you know theres a serious issue
-
I'm watching all of your videos mate. Great work.
-
you should do a video with plant based news
-
Really appreciate the work that went into this. Outstanding, love the humor too!
-
I am so thankful that i found your channel. Please, please keep up the great work.
-
I wouldn't be up for educating children, they'd probably just mess everything up with their compassionate tendencies.
-
Thanks for all the effort !! :) Very well researched video. You deserve wayy more subs!
-
Your channel is awesome! I get so frustrated when I watch ads like that because I notice that every sentence is a lie! I love that you've broken it down so the truth can get out.
-
Stunning work. You sound like an investigative journalist gone rogue. Can't wait to see where your channel is headed. X
-
So happy to have found your channel.
-
Your videos are so very, very good. You present some complex concepts and break it all down so that even a meat eater could understand it.
-
Another fantastic video - this needs to go viral!
-
Dude you are so awesome!!!
Sometimes you sound a bit Welsh :P One wonders where from! -
I couldn't help but laugh at times. Loved it.
