I have been watching this in small increments just because *yawn* it's info that we already know, for the most part (in fact, much info is left out and it's not hugely scientific), but I've gotten through the first hour and it looks as if that is going to be the end of the health info and onto other aspects of veganism.
ANYWAY, wanted to show this to you guys in case you had friends interested in veganism for the health benefits that are less inclined to read something like the china study. It was nice to see a longer movie promoting veganism that wasn't just focused on AR, since many people don't really care about AR.

This movie is quite dry and a bit low budget but honestly it has good information. I wish everyone I know would watch it.
I wonder if I can link this on my facebook page?
you can just copy the link and post it as a status update.
I'm sure there are other ways, but that's the only way I know.
it works, though.
lol, cali, i know! still haven't finished it. that's why i wasn't soo excited about it. but it really is the only longer thing about vegan health i've seen!
i really enjoyed this thank u!
why would anyone promote this lifestyle?!?!? all it gets me is bizarre looks, sarcastic remarks, and eliminates more than half of my potential eternal luvz pool right from the top.
not to mention forcing me into quandaries and thought processes that go something like: i love red stripe, but how do i feel about squids being used as clarifiers? i mean, do i love squids? no. no, i certainly don't love squids, but i don't love squirrels and i still wouldn't want them puree'd up to make my beer more clear. I mean, if it makes my beer waaaaay more delicious, i guess it'd have it's benefits. Could there be anyway that squids aren't really living organisms? can we say for sure that they are alive at all? there's other beers on the market. "Ok, I'll have a Brooklyn Lager."
i mean really, squids stopped me from drinking my fav beer. i would promote sociopathic lunacy first
why would anyone promote a vegan lifestyle? is that a serious question? do u know what website you are on or did u get lost? i am not concerned what others think of me in this regard seriously... weird looks? half of ur "love pool" eliminated? just because u r vegan doesn't mean u need to surround yourself with only vegan people... at this day and age it isn't realistic... did u even watch the video? doubt it
I think that his post was fairly heavily laden with sarcasm and cynicism from experience of how most people react when he tries to discuss the info in the video in any way. Its hard to tell when stuff is written down, because there's no tone of voice, but it seems quite funny to me.
I'm pretty sure that if squid stopped him drinking his favourite beer, he belongs here :P
Jozep - love your thought process around the beer and squids! That's so how it goes sometimes...
ya i dunno i can't really comprehend what he is trying to say... i have a hard time understanding sarcasm... especially when it is typed instead of spoken... my bad if he was only being sarcastic :)
@amy - you seem fun irl (sarcasm... or no? i'll never tell!)
@theo, yea i'm relatively new to veg lifestyle (about a year or so), so my mind still tries to bend logic at times. funny enough though, i've found i actually prefer brooklyn lager anyway. so the squids won that battle, BUT I WON THE WAR!
You know its a good day when there is victory for both you and the squids :D
thank u so much for this video... my boyfriend is gonna try his hardest to be vegetarian and at least stop eating meat! i am so stoked u have no idea... i couldn't convince him with the animal aspect of it at all but the health aspect got to him! thank u times infinity... i am sending the link to co workers as well :)
awwww, aml! so happy for you!
I've been wanting to watch this since you posted it, but I have to get motivated!
I agree: a little dry for those already familiar with the info... but what a great introduction for those who aren't! Here's the direct link to the video on youtube, in case that makes it easier to post on FB or whatever: (www.) youtube.com/watch?v=7qC-_peW6i0.
Thanks for posting, hespedal!
Loved, loved, loved it! It was difficult to get started, but it really is a great video. There is SO MUCH info, and so many facts. I watched and listened, and P was listening, and linked it to a friend, and he now has him (carnivorous, disturbing-meat-comment-type-person) saying he wants to eat a vegan diet for a month!
I wish more people would be inclined to watch it. Thanks, hesp.
yay. so excited!
I loved this. I want to share it with everyone I know! Thanks for posting!
I showed this to a friend the other day and she decided to go vegan!!!!!!! :)>>> :)>>> :)>>>
i know this video is SO GOOD! i cannot sing your praises enough!
