If you don’t do anything else with your life, please just watch this.
His question and answer video afterwards is amazing too.
He is a hero.
I will always reblog this. I preformed a cut of this speech and it took me all the way to the state tournament. Changed my life forever. Watch it. I’ve shown this to two people and both went vegan the next day!
Via hello, mind.
I don’t understand how people are like “man I got sick from being vegetarian/vegan so I stopped”. The only way you got sick is if you chose not to eat right. But being either of those things doesn’t make you sick. Humans weren’t even made biologically to eat meat so your argument is invalid.
And it doesn’t even make sense.
I don’t even eat right and I still feel like a million times healthier than when I ate meat.
omg this happened to me the other day. some girl asked if I was a vegetarian still and I said “I’ve been vegan for over a year now” and she said “OMG you better be careful! it’s so hard to get all of your nutrients and protein! I went vegetarian for a year and got super sick.” and I asked her what she ate and she said… “oh I don’t like nuts or beans or vegetables much.” NO WONDER WHY YOU GOT SICK. omg. people. giving vegans a bad name b/c them eating an unhealthy vegetarian diet makes all vegetarian/vegan diets appear as unhealthy.
