I.D.E.A. Studios launch collection is available now to order to your home! 🚀 weareideastudios.com - thank you so much for your support! In today's video I respond to Russell Brand's recent video about processed plant-based alternatives. However, the aspect of the plant-based alternatives conversation I'm most interested in, is how these products are being targeted by the meat industry in an attempt to discredit veganism.

Expecting people to convert from a standard American diet to a strictly whole foods, plant based diet is insane. The vast majority of people won't be able to do it. Making veganism accessible for the average person is the goal. Processed vegan foods and mock meats help so many people transition. Once people become more comfortable with eating only plants, they'll usually naturally evolve and transform their diets to include less processed mock meats, and more whole foods. But if they don't, who cares? The goal was to stop eating animals.

But I know that it's a lot easier to cook for my meat-eating family using plant based meat substitutes, whenever they have dinner at my place. I agree that delicious meat substitutes lessen the need for meat. It's still about the animals for me, not so much about my health. Even though I feel much healthier now than I ever did before I went vegan. Thanks for the vid!

I actually stopped eating meat for health reasons (and I've been avoiding dairy for over a decade, having become lactose intolerant) and I don't miss it, so the meat alternatives haven't really interested me. However, I was glad that the restaurant my daughter chose for her birthday meal offers Beyond Meat burgers. It was enjoyable having burgers and fries again to celebrate a special occasion. Vegan meats are not something I'd want to eat every week, but the foods they're replacing shouldn't be eaten every week either.

I have to confess that I accidentally started WFPBD because I couldn't leave the house during the pandemic. I needed recipes for the non-perishables and I fell in the rabbit hole of WFPBD, I continued because of health (middleaged) and the peer review evidence in nutrition science. I never even thought about animal slaughter industry or destruction of forests for animal feed. It took someone who was vegetarian to point out that I was vegan, that made me to look for the definitions of vegetarian and vegan, just then, almost 6 months in the process that I fell in the rabbit hole of climate change and animal suffering. I now am very proud of reducing suffering and carbon footprint but in the beginning I couldn't care less.

People also don't understand that most animal products are processed. A lot of ground beef has red slime which makes it look healthier. White eggs don't get laid that way.

That's true, but most people in society won't understand the shirt if they see it. The point of these shirts is to advertise animal rights and get the people around you to acknowledge that veganism is a valid option. It can be helpful in sparking conversions. But if it said "I don't exploit animals", people in general might think that means you don't support exploitation of pet animals. Because non-vegans don't acknowledge that there are issues with how farm animals are treated.

I think Russel’s trying to be polite while also encouraging more people towards leaving animals off the menu more often and/or sooner. I am not an advocate for that approach, am more of “cold turkey” proponent, but I understand (from observing people’s reactions to me and my suggestions) that far too many people feel going at least plant-based overnight is too much for them and would in that case not change their habits, where gradual change might seem more digestible for them.

thats great that your using alternatives instead of the real animal that dies for it. but as the person said above culture doesnt dictate morality, its in some peoples cultures to do child sacrifices but this isnt considered moral purely because it was a cultural practice, if it causes someone else pain then its not justified no matter the reason, espeically if it doesnt HAVE to be practiced

Omnivores will continue to be omnivores. Just like priests make a sacrifice to give up sex, vegans make a sacrifice to go against their nature by only eating plants. Humans will continue having sex and eating animals because it’s driven by our dna.

I think that after you’ve been vegan for a while you really don’t care much for the meat alternatives anymore, however they’re nice to have sometimes when recreating the food you might have grown up with, swedish meatballs etc. Point is when you eat healthy 90% of the time it really doesn’t matter if these meat alternatives are healthy or not.

As an autistic vegan I can honestly say that veganism probably wouldn't be as accessible to me if I couldn't eat meat alternatives everyday. Due to sensory issues and executive dysfunction when cooking I HAVE to rely on them, and I'm glad to be able to. Meat alternatives has taken veganism from something wildly unaccessible to disabled communities to something quite achievable; for me anyway!

10 years vegan here, and while I started on a 100% ethical sentiment ,I'm 50 y.o now and I also do it for my health equally. No processed food for me, and anyway I always hated fast food and even cheese in my younger days. I don't miss the taste of anything non vegan. But I understand that for those who eat these alternatives, they are indeed voting for the elimination of animal exploitation, and that makes me happy. To each their own vegan meals!

I absolutely loved the clothes and the IDEA behind it. Get it? On the other hand, I really don't know why is it so hard to understand that veganism advocates for more plant based options to "regular" food precisely because it's not like we immediately just hate the taste of meat. It's easier to make someone transition when you show them that the sacrifice isn't that big because they can keep eating even those tasty not-that-healthy foods but cruelty free! And the more vegan people there are, the more alternatives will keep coming. This and the fact alone that we can thrive on a vegan diet should be great news for anyone concerned about animals and the environment, I know it was for me when I educated myself and I'm never looking back. Thanks for the information Ed.

Russell has stated on many occasions that he does consider the animals, and he's against exploitation in general, and I'm guessing that's an elemental of his spiritual exploration. He also stated (for comedic purposes) that he was peer pressured into veganism, since he has a strong ethical mindset, and knew it was the right thing to do even if he didn't really want to at first. So maybe he isn't an activist for the animals, but I'm sure it factored into his decision, since he seems like a very considerate, caring person.

I recently offered to let a refugee from Ukraine stay in my spare room, but didn't really think about just how unusual veganism can seem. When the English-speaking contact asked "Can they use the kitchen?", it was hard to provide a clear response. The thought of dead animals sitting in the fridge or on the counter - or of the smell hanging in the air - was sickening. At the same time, it's often considered a basic right and freedom of being a respected adult to be able to keep "food". Luckily it seems the incoming tenant understands somewhat. A big part of this is having alternatives: "Is that milk?" "It's oat milk." "Oh, okay, we have milk." Weirdly enough, Wal-Mart seems to have some of the best vegan options, although I prefer other stores otherwise. $6 vegan supreme pizzas, vegan ice cream sandwiches, mushroom steaks, these make it easy to keep things on-hand that feel like "treats". I like to just throw a bunch of premade stuff on a tray in the oven and let it bake because it's easy. Toss in a couple Prager's risotto burgers with a little green dressing, oil, and rosemary bread on the side, and it's fancy, and doesn't leave guests feeling like their freedoms are being infringed. Fresh is great, but so is prepped sometimes.

"Food processing" is a well defined term, covering the wide variety of ways that a plant or animal is transformed before being eaten. While it is certainly true that processing isn't bad in and of itself -- type, degree, and purpose of processing varies -- selective crop breeding is not a form of food processing.

For that reason I feel it should have been a discussion between them both, or a video simply addressing the subject, rather than the title & thumbnail used, directing it as a beef between Ed & Russell. Ed addresses the fact that the video isn't an attack on Russell as a response video, but the title/thumbnail suggests it is, and consequently might drum up hate & negativity where its not necessary. Having said all this, love both Ed & Russell for the positive change they are making in the world. United we make real change

I'm struggling to understand how you can equate red meat to a whole food. The most "whole" part of the red meat production process is the sperm and egg from where it starts. Then you start a highly intensive ultra processing system that lasts for up to 24 months and requires inputs such as sex hormones, growth hormones and antibiotics to produce the food. I wonder what the media narrative would be like if plant based burgers contained some of these inputs???

Jimmy Savile raised tens of millions for charity, may he rot in hell. _Also let's account for the team of people who worked on this brand and who are profited, not just him._ Yes, let’s! _Nothing wrong with earning a living, especially when done ethically and sustainably._ More euphemistic language, 'making a living' is working a job to put food on the table and pay your rent. Ed is either already a millionaire or fast approaching it. He's looking to make a fortune, not a living. I'm not saying he shouldn't make any money but there is a fine line and he has crossed it in my opinion. However you spin it, owning an international fashion brand goes against the oft-repeated vegan tenet of reducing all unnecessary suffering, or atleast stretches the meaning to the point of redundancy. _Again, veganism is about reducing animal suffering as much as practicable, and that doesn't exclude ambitious projects, otherwise, nobody would be morally permissible to do anything that could potentially cause harm._ So, basically capitalist wealth building is not a practicable restriction in your ethical vegan framework. Sounds good! The practicability comes down to necessity, as Ed himself is constantly banging on about. He doesn't need to do this for any reason. _I doubt he is getting rich because of these projects, but if you think so, I'll need proof._ A Penguin book deal, a restaraunt in central London, a youtube channel with 430k subs and sponsorship, a patreon, frequent trips all over the world to give paid talks at prestigious universities and similar institutions.

@@remotefaith yeah okay I see your point and pretty much agree. Your points make sense. I don't think I will stop supporting him and his content though because I honestly don't care if he pockets that money lmao. Not to say he's free of criticism if he's doing something altruistic, but I definitely think that the work he has done in other aspects is incredible and has a massively wide reach. The difference he has made in the vegan movement is incomprehensible. So the fact he is earning a lot of profit through doing something that might be more born out of desire than true altruism for once doesn't bother me tbh. The collateral damage of this just doesn't seem to be as harmful especially when he has taken so many moral and sustainable precautions. This might have been the only time he has created or launched something that doesn't have a huge selfless motive behind it.

The acronym should be I don’t exploit animals! (then it covers dairy, leather, and other abuses on animals) Edit: oops looks like someone in the comments already posted this. Sorry I didn’t read earlier but leaving this here to show agreement.

Hold up, you and Russell Brand are different people? One silver lining to this inflationary environment is that animal-derived products seem to be increasing in price faster than plant-based foods. The moment you can easily find meat alternatives for cheaper than real meat is the moment that veganism gets supercharged. It's getting close with some things; last weekend where I live, a gallon of store-brand milk was $3.23, where a half-gallon of store-brand almond milk was $2.19. I'm not sure how the brand names are doing against each other.

Putting meat into a specific form = unhealthy Combining different plant waste with chemicals to create something that looks and taste like meat = healthy? I don't get it.
