Do vegans crave meat?

Show Notes
Transcript

We’ve got some holiday and non-holiday travel going on, so we’re dipping into the vault for a couple of One Good Question episodes to fill the gap.

This episode features one of our gym members who is a practicing vegan, Nick Squires, sharing some more about how he transitioned from being an ardent meat eater to being a vegan. Since this is the time of year that some people make radical diet changes, it seemed like a good idea to drop this one in the feed.

Also, are GMOs bad? (No)

You can find Nick on Instagram (@meatmcsorley). Drop him a follow. He’s totally worth it.

00:00:09.480 --> 00:00:12.279
So rolling or a live thumbs up.

2
00:00:12.400 --> 00:00:14.679
That's a This is a live thumbs up.

3
00:00:15.080 --> 00:00:17.960
Ladies and gentlemen, welcome to one good question. I'm making

4
00:00:18.039 --> 00:00:20.000
up the questions, but typically we grabbing from you. It's

5
00:00:20.000 --> 00:00:22.879
our Friday episode Good Company Discord dot com if you

6
00:00:22.920 --> 00:00:24.559
want to get involved in the discord in the community.

7
00:00:25.519 --> 00:00:28.719
And we have actually the head council for soy and

8
00:00:28.800 --> 00:00:31.440
Veganism in the building, and so we're gonna pick his

9
00:00:31.519 --> 00:00:35.399
brains on that. I'm fat. I get a lot of cravings,

10
00:00:35.840 --> 00:00:40.079
tons of them, and typically they're around and some are

11
00:00:40.200 --> 00:00:43.600
maybe of of vegan nature. But I'm wondering if your

12
00:00:43.640 --> 00:00:46.960
whole brain chemistry probably changes in some way, right, Like

13
00:00:47.000 --> 00:00:50.880
you've never how long have you been not eating animal products?

14
00:00:50.960 --> 00:00:51.640
Eleven years?

15
00:00:51.719 --> 00:00:54.039
Okay, so the last time you like dreamt about a

16
00:00:54.079 --> 00:00:56.920
RIBI was probably a very long time ago. I'd assume no, oh,

17
00:00:56.960 --> 00:00:59.640
you dream about them, so like, oh, you're horny, dude,

18
00:01:00.119 --> 00:01:00.520
you're real.

19
00:01:00.759 --> 00:01:02.920
So there is like when I live in Vegas, there's

20
00:01:02.920 --> 00:01:06.640
this place called Fausto's Burrito chain and they make a

21
00:01:06.640 --> 00:01:11.359
California brito and I think about that burrito every three hours.

22
00:01:12.840 --> 00:01:15.040
What's the main meat in there? Like a carne asada

23
00:01:15.159 --> 00:01:15.480
or something.

24
00:01:15.640 --> 00:01:20.000
Yeah, there's this steaks rise, like it's a good California brito.

25
00:01:20.000 --> 00:01:21.879
But like I remember when I moved back to l

26
00:01:21.920 --> 00:01:23.480
A one time. It was like two in the morning

27
00:01:23.519 --> 00:01:27.680
and I was drinking and I started to drive to Vegas,

28
00:01:28.120 --> 00:01:31.000
you know, and I was like, I need that burrito. Whoa.

29
00:01:31.079 --> 00:01:32.439
And then I got like an hour down the road

30
00:01:32.439 --> 00:01:34.280
and I'm like, I shouldn't be driving pulled off like

31
00:01:35.159 --> 00:01:36.560
that burrito calls to me.

32
00:01:37.079 --> 00:01:40.280
Still, could you hypothetically do something very close though? No

33
00:01:40.439 --> 00:01:42.439
carn a soda for sure, and you probably do in

34
00:01:42.480 --> 00:01:43.280
the last couple of years.

35
00:01:43.319 --> 00:01:45.359
It's gotten. It's come so far. Yeah, I mean, like

36
00:01:45.840 --> 00:01:48.000
it's come so far and you'd be hard pressed a

37
00:01:48.040 --> 00:01:50.159
lot of time, especially like if it's by itself, Yeah,

38
00:01:50.159 --> 00:01:52.200
you can tell it's different than yeah, yeah, but when

39
00:01:52.239 --> 00:01:53.439
you put it in a brito all this stuff, you're

40
00:01:53.439 --> 00:01:54.079
not going to tell the different.

41
00:01:54.120 --> 00:01:56.640
I guess two follows. What's the biggest Like vegan craving

42
00:01:56.680 --> 00:01:59.359
when you're munching out, because like I get like a popcorn.

43
00:01:59.439 --> 00:02:01.840
I love pop corn, and that obviously could be vegan

44
00:02:01.959 --> 00:02:06.079
ish depending on how you want to dress it. Then uh,

45
00:02:06.239 --> 00:02:08.199
but then a lot of times it's like fried chicken.

46
00:02:08.680 --> 00:02:11.199
Shit like that French fries, right, you can dive in there.

47
00:02:12.879 --> 00:02:15.800
So some like snacky foods, chips. I'm sure there's so

48
00:02:15.879 --> 00:02:20.319
many a chip that aren't ruined for sure. The other

49
00:02:20.439 --> 00:02:23.360
question is that wasn't a question? No, The next one.

50
00:02:23.560 --> 00:02:26.120
The first one was yeah, whether you dream about meat?

51
00:02:26.599 --> 00:02:30.800
The next one is yours? Yeah, the veggie burrito? Okay,

52
00:02:31.240 --> 00:02:34.360
if you guys, and I'm judging all of them, Oh

53
00:02:34.439 --> 00:02:36.520
you guys, Yeah, don't want to eat fucking meat?

54
00:02:36.639 --> 00:02:37.319
Right, yeah, you.

55
00:02:37.319 --> 00:02:38.479
Don't want to fuck where you're going?

56
00:02:38.560 --> 00:02:39.000
Yeah?

57
00:02:39.039 --> 00:02:41.159
Why do you name all your foods after my foods?

58
00:02:41.639 --> 00:02:42.639
Because they're delicious?

59
00:02:44.000 --> 00:02:46.960
It's got to be vegan bacon? Yeah, because I love bacon.

60
00:02:47.000 --> 00:02:49.319
Why don't we just make it up? Why don't we

61
00:02:49.319 --> 00:02:49.599
call it?

62
00:02:50.240 --> 00:02:52.080
How is the word bacon not already made up? It is?

63
00:02:52.120 --> 00:02:54.159
It is, but it means something? What does it mean?

64
00:02:54.199 --> 00:02:58.199
Where I come from? These things have the solid meanings

65
00:02:58.199 --> 00:02:59.120
in tradition.

66
00:02:59.000 --> 00:02:59.840
Like a chicken finger.

67
00:03:00.199 --> 00:03:03.719
Yeah, yeah, hamberg you're not allowed to have that number, right, Yeah,

68
00:03:03.759 --> 00:03:06.360
hamburger that's not made of ham, ye, sir, it's made of.

69
00:03:06.280 --> 00:03:09.199
Beef or burger. Well, hamm is burger.

70
00:03:10.199 --> 00:03:12.879
Burger's not a thing. Yeah, hamburger is stupid. Yes, it's yeah,

71
00:03:12.919 --> 00:03:14.639
you went out, it's from a place and not a

72
00:03:14.960 --> 00:03:17.080
Oh all right, that's fair, but that oh yeah germany

73
00:03:17.199 --> 00:03:21.199
Yeah hamburger, yeah yeah, but that still confuses us. Yeah,

74
00:03:21.319 --> 00:03:24.080
meat eaters, right, so why are we? Does that throw

75
00:03:24.080 --> 00:03:28.039
people off? Because if I'm going anti meat and I

76
00:03:28.080 --> 00:03:29.319
get I get this all the time. You know what

77
00:03:29.319 --> 00:03:30.960
I mean? Because one of my best friends growing up

78
00:03:31.000 --> 00:03:34.439
was a vegetarian. Now I think she's fish and stuff,

79
00:03:34.439 --> 00:03:35.879
but she basically lived with me in high school. My

80
00:03:36.120 --> 00:03:40.560
parents like pseudo adopted her. My other best friend growing

81
00:03:40.639 --> 00:03:44.199
up wasn't anti meat, but like swear to God, until

82
00:03:44.199 --> 00:03:46.439
he was like seventeen, all the eight was pasta with

83
00:03:47.000 --> 00:03:50.879
butter like nothing else. Like his graduation picture with my

84
00:03:50.960 --> 00:03:53.039
dad is my dad getting him to eat his first

85
00:03:53.039 --> 00:03:56.280
hamburger at age eighteen. My dad's smiling soabay because he

86
00:03:56.319 --> 00:03:58.159
tried for like twelve years to get this study eat

87
00:03:58.159 --> 00:04:00.400
a hamburger and when he won, and for no other

88
00:04:00.439 --> 00:04:03.080
than just being a kid, you know. But long story short, Yeah,

89
00:04:03.080 --> 00:04:07.560
if I'm not eating animal products, I don't want my

90
00:04:08.400 --> 00:04:12.840
non animal product to remind me of animal I get more serious.

91
00:04:12.879 --> 00:04:14.360
Note, Yeah, I mean that's a question to get all

92
00:04:14.400 --> 00:04:16.959
the time, is like are these foods just for transitioning people?

93
00:04:17.000 --> 00:04:18.879
Who are people like getting used to a vegan diet.

94
00:04:19.160 --> 00:04:20.959
I mean, I've been eating the same way for eleven

95
00:04:21.040 --> 00:04:23.600
years now, and it's just for me. It's familiarity, you know.

96
00:04:23.639 --> 00:04:26.439
And a big thing of why I thought for a

97
00:04:26.439 --> 00:04:28.040
long time that I couldn't be vegan is because like, oh,

98
00:04:28.079 --> 00:04:29.839
I got to change my diet. Yeah right, Oh, I've

99
00:04:29.839 --> 00:04:32.399
got to eat all these salads and shit. Right, that's

100
00:04:32.439 --> 00:04:34.519
not gonna work for how I like to eat. That's

101
00:04:34.560 --> 00:04:36.600
not going to work for lifting. And then when I realized,

102
00:04:36.600 --> 00:04:38.720
like I can just eat the same exact way, just

103
00:04:38.800 --> 00:04:41.120
with a substitution, Like I get that, Oh, why would

104
00:04:41.120 --> 00:04:43.319
you want it to remind you of? It's because it's delicious, right,

105
00:04:43.519 --> 00:04:46.879
this food's you can't argue that it's delicious. And if

106
00:04:46.920 --> 00:04:50.000
I can just substitute it with something that tastes ninety

107
00:04:50.079 --> 00:04:52.839
nine percent the same, yeah, but doesn't come from an animal,

108
00:04:52.879 --> 00:04:54.680
then why not? But I like, I get that mentality.

109
00:04:54.680 --> 00:04:56.160
A lot of people ask that, like it's like a

110
00:04:56.160 --> 00:04:58.319
big gotcha question, like, oh, if you hate me, then

111
00:04:58.319 --> 00:04:59.000
why do you make me?

112
00:04:59.079 --> 00:05:02.000
No, mine's more humor. Yeah, but the reminding would like

113
00:05:02.040 --> 00:05:05.279
if I'm if I'm actually stepping that way, reminding me

114
00:05:05.319 --> 00:05:07.199
of it wouldn't probably make me happy.

115
00:05:07.399 --> 00:05:11.319
There are times where the substitution is so realistic that

116
00:05:11.360 --> 00:05:14.600
it gives me pause, like wait a second, like I'm

117
00:05:14.600 --> 00:05:17.759
gonna double check on yes, but you know, I don't know.

118
00:05:17.879 --> 00:05:20.279
They disconnect there for me is like it the closer

119
00:05:20.319 --> 00:05:21.319
that it tastes the real thing.

120
00:05:21.319 --> 00:05:25.560
The more you remember the garden burgers from like Costco

121
00:05:25.600 --> 00:05:26.720
in like the nineties.

122
00:05:26.360 --> 00:05:27.839
Oh my god. Or when you go and then give

123
00:05:27.839 --> 00:05:31.279
you like a portabet like a giant portobello, like even now,

124
00:05:31.360 --> 00:05:33.120
like I've seen like people like do like, oh, here's

125
00:05:33.120 --> 00:05:35.240
a carrot hot dog. If you give me a carrot

126
00:05:35.240 --> 00:05:36.519
hot dog, I'm gonna fucking kill you.

127
00:05:36.600 --> 00:05:38.360
That's a little crazy. What do they do just they

128
00:05:38.399 --> 00:05:40.519
just make it soft grill a hot dog.

129
00:05:40.399 --> 00:05:42.279
And they put it in a bun, put some stuff.

130
00:05:42.279 --> 00:05:43.480
I like, I will kill you.

131
00:05:43.560 --> 00:05:44.319
That's a little crazy.

132
00:05:44.399 --> 00:05:44.600
Yeah.

133
00:05:45.000 --> 00:05:48.319
Have you had Burrito Patch? Oh yeah, Brita Patch is outstanding.

134
00:05:48.360 --> 00:05:50.959
I don't like the burgers, but the burritos are fucking great.

135
00:05:51.079 --> 00:05:54.120
Yeah, over here, on k and twenty first right, like

136
00:05:54.199 --> 00:05:58.560
they do. They'll do a casada, put some steak in it,

137
00:05:58.560 --> 00:06:01.879
it melt, the cheese, sour creams and flock. It's incredible,

138
00:06:01.920 --> 00:06:03.279
Like you you would not be able to tell that.

139
00:06:03.519 --> 00:06:05.399
I've definitely had some of the cheeses and stuff and

140
00:06:05.439 --> 00:06:06.519
when it's cooked.

141
00:06:06.920 --> 00:06:09.879
I'm in it every time. Every month it gets better

142
00:06:09.879 --> 00:06:12.360
almost like eleven years ago. And it's like it's funny,

143
00:06:12.360 --> 00:06:15.399
like I have friends and bands and like there are

144
00:06:15.399 --> 00:06:17.879
tour manager has been Vegans's like nineteen ninety two, and

145
00:06:17.920 --> 00:06:20.759
it's like talking with him about what's happened since nineteen

146
00:06:20.800 --> 00:06:22.199
ninety I'm sure like you could, Oh, you could go

147
00:06:22.199 --> 00:06:23.600
to the store. You can get all the pastas and

148
00:06:24.120 --> 00:06:26.480
vegetable stuff, but like you can have tofu and you

149
00:06:26.519 --> 00:06:29.079
can have swim milk, nothing else, right, And how far

150
00:06:29.160 --> 00:06:30.959
that's come, And like there was like this for the

151
00:06:31.000 --> 00:06:33.160
first cheese that came out, you could have put it

152
00:06:33.199 --> 00:06:35.079
on the sun and it wouldn't have melted, right, Like

153
00:06:35.519 --> 00:06:38.319
it was impossible. Yeah, but now it's come such a

154
00:06:38.360 --> 00:06:40.439
long way that like even in the cheese, the cheese

155
00:06:40.480 --> 00:06:41.639
was a hard thing for a lot of people for

156
00:06:41.680 --> 00:06:42.079
a long time.

157
00:06:42.160 --> 00:06:47.959
Non dairy Benda Jerry's, the strawberry cheesecake. I'm fat and

158
00:06:48.079 --> 00:06:49.879
ice cream is probably my favorite thing on the planet,

159
00:06:49.959 --> 00:06:52.319
and that's still and Bena Jerry's isn't one of my

160
00:06:52.319 --> 00:06:54.120
favorite to begin with. I'm kind of an ice cream snop.

161
00:06:54.199 --> 00:06:56.879
Like it's good, obviously I'll eat it, And so I'm

162
00:06:56.920 --> 00:06:59.120
putting Bena Jerry's in general, you know, like maybe a

163
00:06:59.519 --> 00:07:02.279
seven and hour half out of ten. Yeah, the non dairies, Yeah,

164
00:07:02.279 --> 00:07:03.920
probably like six and a half out of ten, Like

165
00:07:03.959 --> 00:07:05.839
it's right there with the regular ben and Jerry's.

166
00:07:05.920 --> 00:07:09.120
Yeah, that's rowberry cheesecake one. However, many I bought when

167
00:07:09.160 --> 00:07:10.839
I was there as Helme and I would have eaten. Yeah,

168
00:07:11.279 --> 00:07:12.800
it felt like a bear at a campsite when I

169
00:07:12.800 --> 00:07:13.040
got that.

170
00:07:13.199 --> 00:07:15.600
The texture is good. I think the only thing that

171
00:07:15.639 --> 00:07:17.000
threw me off a little bit is I feel like

172
00:07:17.000 --> 00:07:20.920
it wasn't as cold, and I have a thing like that.

173
00:07:21.639 --> 00:07:24.639
I forgot the exact Kyle has the science broken down better.

174
00:07:24.800 --> 00:07:28.680
But there's something with diet sodas too, where I think

175
00:07:28.720 --> 00:07:31.600
it's diet coke like just doesn't get cold.

176
00:07:32.079 --> 00:07:34.480
Now that you say that, because I only drink that soda.

177
00:07:34.600 --> 00:07:36.240
Yeah, I drink side soda all the time. Yeah, now

178
00:07:36.240 --> 00:07:38.000
that you say that, we're like a diet pepsi. You

179
00:07:38.000 --> 00:07:41.079
grab that thing is icicles and you grab a Pepsi's

180
00:07:41.079 --> 00:07:43.399
not vegan. That's fucked what they got in there? About

181
00:07:43.399 --> 00:07:46.199
a gelatine, they won't tell you, Oh, that's even schedule.

182
00:07:46.800 --> 00:07:48.279
They'll say, they'll say it's vegetarian.

183
00:07:48.600 --> 00:07:51.000
Do you think that's covering their ass because the factory

184
00:07:51.000 --> 00:07:52.720
it's made in, rather than what's in a soda, Like

185
00:07:52.800 --> 00:07:53.800
I will.

186
00:07:53.600 --> 00:07:56.079
Go out like if it says may contain. That doesn't

187
00:07:56.120 --> 00:07:58.120
slow me down because I worked in the food industry.

188
00:07:57.839 --> 00:07:58.199
A little bit.

189
00:07:58.279 --> 00:08:01.000
I know, like, oh weird fair Belt, Yeah he ran

190
00:08:01.120 --> 00:08:02.839
Elkin here three days ago. We have to put that

191
00:08:02.879 --> 00:08:04.600
on their reliability. So that doesn't slow me down. But

192
00:08:05.000 --> 00:08:06.560
they were like, no, it's specifically not.

193
00:08:06.680 --> 00:08:07.439
Oh that's a little crazy.

194
00:08:07.480 --> 00:08:08.000
It's a little weird.

195
00:08:08.040 --> 00:08:08.199
Yeah.

196
00:08:08.199 --> 00:08:10.160
I wonder if it's in factories as meat sodas.

197
00:08:10.439 --> 00:08:12.839
Yeah, I wonder if it's a gelatinny type thing.

198
00:08:12.959 --> 00:08:15.680
Yeah, it's gotta be just that, like the diet Mountain dew,

199
00:08:15.839 --> 00:08:16.879
same company.

200
00:08:16.800 --> 00:08:20.040
Fine, nothing interesting color. Maybe the color could be.

201
00:08:20.160 --> 00:08:22.839
Yeah, I had the vegan Reese's Peanut butter cups a

202
00:08:22.839 --> 00:08:26.600
couple of weeks ago. They're just so odie. Yeah, they're

203
00:08:26.680 --> 00:08:29.399
very odie. I can't figure out what what is it?

204
00:08:29.480 --> 00:08:31.279
The glycerin is that what's the issue.

205
00:08:31.279 --> 00:08:32.879
It's oat milk based, like so instead of using like

206
00:08:32.919 --> 00:08:34.600
they're doing a milk chocolate, but they're using oat milk

207
00:08:34.639 --> 00:08:35.480
instead of dairy milk.

208
00:08:35.519 --> 00:08:37.360
That's the ben and Jerry's Ben and Jerry's all oats

209
00:08:37.440 --> 00:08:39.480
and it doesn't taste odie. I surprised. And obviously they

210
00:08:39.559 --> 00:08:41.200
got like fucking brownie bits and that ship.

211
00:08:41.240 --> 00:08:42.799
I'm glad that because like the first a lot of

212
00:08:42.799 --> 00:08:44.879
iterations of the vegan ice cream were coconut and it's

213
00:08:44.879 --> 00:08:46.759
just everything tastes like coconut. I had that that wasn't

214
00:08:46.799 --> 00:08:47.279
working for me.

215
00:08:47.399 --> 00:08:50.360
There was a there was a big push and nutrition

216
00:08:50.799 --> 00:08:53.440
for even performance nutrition in the like twenty tens for

217
00:08:54.320 --> 00:08:57.159
anti gluten, and it wasn't because of like Celiac or nothing.

218
00:08:57.279 --> 00:08:59.879
You know, there's just some guy spewing shit that I fall.

219
00:09:00.600 --> 00:09:03.720
So I started eating a bunch of coconut milk to

220
00:09:03.759 --> 00:09:06.000
avoid dairy and stuff because of inflammation and all these

221
00:09:06.000 --> 00:09:09.279
other things that are probably fake. And so there's a

222
00:09:09.279 --> 00:09:13.159
coconut mint chip ice cream that like almost got the

223
00:09:13.159 --> 00:09:15.879
coconut out because the mint, you know, mint's pretty potent,

224
00:09:16.000 --> 00:09:19.639
but yeah, it always kind of tastes like fucking coconut,

225
00:09:19.799 --> 00:09:22.679
and it's like it feels like hollow. It felt like hollow. Yeah,

226
00:09:22.679 --> 00:09:25.200
like the ice cream didn't feel like, you know, hardy

227
00:09:25.200 --> 00:09:26.879
where the bend and Jerry's was kind of hardy.

228
00:09:27.000 --> 00:09:27.200
Yeah.

229
00:09:28.120 --> 00:09:30.080
I will twist this around and say that I actually

230
00:09:30.120 --> 00:09:32.600
like vanilla soy milk better than any other kind of milk.

231
00:09:32.399 --> 00:09:37.799
Period, honestly, Like it's a nothing tastes like milk, But

232
00:09:38.120 --> 00:09:40.840
like once you get past that, it's like, what's better

233
00:09:40.919 --> 00:09:43.480
than milk that tastes like vanilla?

234
00:09:43.639 --> 00:09:45.080
Or yeah, exactly, it's.

235
00:09:44.919 --> 00:09:46.840
Like putting it in my protein shak and my cereal

236
00:09:46.919 --> 00:09:47.240
or whatever.

237
00:09:47.399 --> 00:09:49.759
Why is it that if I drink a milk from

238
00:09:49.759 --> 00:09:53.399
a cow or an oat, milk from an oa, yeah, yeah,

239
00:09:53.440 --> 00:09:56.080
it's like totally normal. But if I drank a human milk,

240
00:09:56.120 --> 00:09:58.440
if I told you guys, bodybout to do it, man,

241
00:09:58.440 --> 00:10:00.440
which I'm supposed to do. No, I almost got that too.

242
00:10:00.440 --> 00:10:03.200
When I first got really into lifting, Like I lifted

243
00:10:03.240 --> 00:10:04.879
my whole life for sport. But when I got into

244
00:10:04.879 --> 00:10:07.240
like meathead shit. Two thousand and eight, two thousand and

245
00:10:07.320 --> 00:10:11.200
nine college, me and my buddy found a website that

246
00:10:11.360 --> 00:10:16.320
was really selling you some HGH full woman breast milk

247
00:10:16.679 --> 00:10:18.679
that was supposed to really get you going. I think

248
00:10:18.720 --> 00:10:21.799
colosstrum was the big push at the time and HGH

249
00:10:21.919 --> 00:10:22.679
for whatever reason.

250
00:10:22.879 --> 00:10:23.360
Very sweet.

251
00:10:23.519 --> 00:10:25.799
Well, you see how fast babies grow, Yeah, yeah, they

252
00:10:25.840 --> 00:10:28.080
do be growing fast, right, maybe this will help me

253
00:10:28.200 --> 00:10:30.840
grow fast. But if I did do that, you guys

254
00:10:30.879 --> 00:10:32.440
would look at me like I'm insane.

255
00:10:32.840 --> 00:10:34.360
I think it's more normal than cow.

256
00:10:34.240 --> 00:10:36.200
Milk, right, and in concept is way.

257
00:10:36.080 --> 00:10:37.799
More norm coming from a consenting party.

258
00:10:38.000 --> 00:10:40.840
Yeah, you know, one of my own races being species,

259
00:10:40.960 --> 00:10:44.000
they're maybe not being bred just to produce milk. Dude,

260
00:10:44.080 --> 00:10:46.879
imagine if that was the norm. We just have the

261
00:10:47.120 --> 00:10:50.000
double D factories. Yeah, yeah, we just have double D

262
00:10:50.120 --> 00:10:53.919
factories of these poor ladies in cages. Yeah, just getting milked.

263
00:10:54.039 --> 00:10:57.799
But also like from cow milk that's made to make

264
00:10:57.799 --> 00:11:00.519
a cow grow one hundreds of pounds in size, true

265
00:11:00.720 --> 00:11:03.200
in a true year. So yeah, yeah, it.

266
00:11:03.120 --> 00:11:03.919
Could be the same thing.

267
00:11:04.639 --> 00:11:07.840
Yeah, I read into it obviously before I purchased woman's

268
00:11:07.879 --> 00:11:10.039
milk from the internet, which in two thousand and nine

269
00:11:10.039 --> 00:11:11.879
probably would have been way more sketchy than it is now.

270
00:11:12.080 --> 00:11:14.200
You said before you did not before you.

271
00:11:14.440 --> 00:11:18.279
I actually never ended up doing it because a lot

272
00:11:18.279 --> 00:11:20.720
of the turns out that our guts just can't absorb

273
00:11:20.720 --> 00:11:25.000
the HGH that it is in there or precursors and then.

274
00:11:25.039 --> 00:11:25.840
Injected it somewhere.

275
00:11:25.919 --> 00:11:28.080
Yeah. Now I'm just grown and my tummy doesn't want

276
00:11:28.080 --> 00:11:28.799
me to grow anymore.

277
00:11:29.480 --> 00:11:30.480
I've tried it. It's sweet.

278
00:11:30.679 --> 00:11:33.320
Really, I was gonna say, yeah, I've never been around it.

279
00:11:33.360 --> 00:11:36.759
Really I tried it too, I'm sure at some age,

280
00:11:36.960 --> 00:11:40.480
but not that I remember. I don't know. I might

281
00:11:40.480 --> 00:11:43.799
have been a bottle fed. I really don't know.

282
00:11:44.360 --> 00:11:45.000
I really don't know.

283
00:11:45.080 --> 00:11:46.759
How about you have kids too? One?

284
00:11:46.799 --> 00:11:47.320
I have one?

285
00:11:48.080 --> 00:11:48.799
How do they eat?

286
00:11:49.360 --> 00:11:54.840
So my daughter was raised vegan, vegan through the pregnancy,

287
00:11:54.960 --> 00:11:55.679
vegan from birth.

288
00:11:56.080 --> 00:11:58.519
You know our wife's vegan then, yeah, since two.

289
00:11:58.399 --> 00:12:01.639
Thousand and four, we're not get anymore. But you know,

290
00:12:01.799 --> 00:12:05.039
she's been vegan seenty four and so it came up.

291
00:12:05.080 --> 00:12:06.759
I wasn't vegan when we started, and I went vegan

292
00:12:06.759 --> 00:12:10.759
when my daughter was one, So I had some concerns.

293
00:12:10.799 --> 00:12:12.720
But like we went and we talked to pediatrician. We

294
00:12:12.799 --> 00:12:14.759
talked to the og y N and they said, you know,

295
00:12:15.279 --> 00:12:17.440
just monitor it. There's nothing like you'd add right now

296
00:12:17.480 --> 00:12:19.720
that would make any difference. And so we just kept

297
00:12:19.720 --> 00:12:22.080
the close eye on it, and it hasn't be an issue. Now.

298
00:12:22.080 --> 00:12:24.120
My daughter constantly tells me she's more vegan than me.

299
00:12:24.519 --> 00:12:25.200
How old is she?

300
00:12:25.200 --> 00:12:25.799
She's eleven.

301
00:12:25.919 --> 00:12:26.320
Yeah, so.

302
00:12:28.120 --> 00:12:30.120
You know, I've been vegan for ten years. I said,

303
00:12:30.200 --> 00:12:32.960
I might have said eleven earlier, but it's ten because

304
00:12:33.000 --> 00:12:34.399
I went vegan when she was one. And so she

305
00:12:34.480 --> 00:12:36.279
constantly is like, I'm the true vegan. I've been vegan

306
00:12:36.320 --> 00:12:38.639
since birth and vegan long vegan queen. Yeah, and I

307
00:12:38.639 --> 00:12:39.200
can't argue it.

308
00:12:39.240 --> 00:12:41.039
What if she's fifteen and wants to eat your bye?

309
00:12:41.080 --> 00:12:41.440
You cool?

310
00:12:41.639 --> 00:12:43.799
So this conversation's come up. You know, obviously, as she

311
00:12:43.840 --> 00:12:46.759
goes to school, she sees people eating animal products, so

312
00:12:46.879 --> 00:12:49.639
it's like, we've never you know, obviously, you raise your

313
00:12:49.679 --> 00:12:50.600
kid with your own values.

314
00:12:50.639 --> 00:12:50.759
Right.

315
00:12:50.759 --> 00:12:52.399
At a certain point, they questioned them, I said, you

316
00:12:52.399 --> 00:12:55.200
can make whatever choice you want. We took her to

317
00:12:55.399 --> 00:12:58.840
a farm sanctuary. We skipped the part where they show

318
00:12:58.840 --> 00:12:59.399
the factory farming.

319
00:12:59.399 --> 00:12:59.559
Shit.

320
00:12:59.600 --> 00:13:00.720
I'm not trying to traumatized the kid.

321
00:13:00.759 --> 00:13:02.039
Sure, yeah, I love it a little.

322
00:13:02.200 --> 00:13:05.480
We had her meet the animals. Said make up your mind.

323
00:13:05.879 --> 00:13:07.879
But this is the connection that I was lacking as

324
00:13:07.879 --> 00:13:09.519
a kid. I didn't know where this was coming from.

325
00:13:09.720 --> 00:13:11.399
I probably would have made the same decision I made

326
00:13:11.399 --> 00:13:13.639
as an adult if I had a connection to the animals.

327
00:13:13.759 --> 00:13:15.720
So I said, spend some time with the animals. Understand

328
00:13:15.720 --> 00:13:18.159
where your food is coming from. And she's stuck with it.

329
00:13:18.279 --> 00:13:20.879
You know that's interesting because I grew up on a farm. Basically,

330
00:13:21.080 --> 00:13:24.120
I went to a very weird Hogwarts style school and

331
00:13:24.279 --> 00:13:30.840
the school has a farm on it pigs, cows, chickens, sheep, lamas.

332
00:13:31.000 --> 00:13:34.080
As I graduated, we got a lama and then a

333
00:13:34.159 --> 00:13:36.000
very large garden where we do all the gardening and shit.

334
00:13:36.159 --> 00:13:39.120
And I think about that age second or third grade, right,

335
00:13:40.840 --> 00:13:43.879
you get like a month and you have to go

336
00:13:43.919 --> 00:13:47.000
into school at like five am and do all the shit.

337
00:13:47.399 --> 00:13:49.480
We have a regular gardening class where you'll be milking

338
00:13:49.480 --> 00:13:52.440
cows and shearing sheep and doing normal stuff. But for

339
00:13:52.519 --> 00:13:54.480
that month, in like third or fourth grade, you go

340
00:13:54.519 --> 00:13:57.480
in and do all the work, like you're feeding everybody,

341
00:13:57.559 --> 00:14:00.320
You're collecting the eggs, et cetera et cetera. Always had

342
00:14:00.320 --> 00:14:02.799
like a respect for it, but it never threw me off.

343
00:14:02.960 --> 00:14:06.480
But obviously it was a very humane situation right where

344
00:14:06.559 --> 00:14:09.679
on the river this cow's fucking happiest ship dancing around,

345
00:14:09.799 --> 00:14:12.080
you know, Like the vibe is so different.

346
00:14:11.840 --> 00:14:13.240
For sure, And it's like I don't have I almost

347
00:14:13.240 --> 00:14:15.519
don't have a problem with with susten. It's hunting, yeah,

348
00:14:15.559 --> 00:14:18.279
because that animals living so different, it's living its own life.

349
00:14:18.480 --> 00:14:20.720
And then like, obviously I don't support it. Sure, I'm

350
00:14:20.759 --> 00:14:23.279
not a fucking hunter. I'm not gonna go hunting. I'm like, yeah,

351
00:14:23.159 --> 00:14:28.159
you're not a man fair compared to factory.

352
00:14:29.519 --> 00:14:29.960
Makes sense.

353
00:14:30.039 --> 00:14:32.159
That animal lived its life and then in the blink

354
00:14:32.200 --> 00:14:34.120
of an eye, it's like what happened for me? And

355
00:14:34.240 --> 00:14:36.799
veganism is thinking about the entire life cycle of an

356
00:14:36.799 --> 00:14:40.600
animal just being fucking hell from the moment it's born,

357
00:14:40.960 --> 00:14:42.679
just hell. And I can't you know, I couldn't get

358
00:14:42.720 --> 00:14:42.879
with that.

359
00:14:42.960 --> 00:14:43.879
Yeah, I would.

360
00:14:43.600 --> 00:14:46.000
Probably feel a lot differently if the food industry was different.

361
00:14:46.080 --> 00:14:47.679
Yeah, or you grew up in a different country or

362
00:14:47.720 --> 00:14:51.679
who knows what. Yeah, yeah, interesting, interesting, Well, he dreams

363
00:14:51.679 --> 00:14:56.039
about steak boys every night. Every night dreaming about that carneasada.

364
00:14:56.200 --> 00:14:58.039
That's all I got. I dream about food all the time.

365
00:14:58.320 --> 00:15:01.240
Not actual dreams, you know, more daytime dreams. Yeah, like

366
00:15:01.360 --> 00:15:04.159
Actionable said, they're pining for it. Yeah, yeah, planning the

367
00:15:04.159 --> 00:15:05.639
rest of my day and I was about to come.

368
00:15:05.879 --> 00:15:08.360
Yeah you dream about food so us.

369
00:15:08.639 --> 00:15:11.039
Yeah, yeah, you're a fact kid hard too, Oh, I

370
00:15:11.080 --> 00:15:12.919
definitely am. Yeah.

371
00:15:13.679 --> 00:15:16.039
I get flashes of like I haven't had that in

372
00:15:16.080 --> 00:15:18.679
a long time. That would be really good right now. Yeah,

373
00:15:18.919 --> 00:15:20.639
at least been Chinese food, and I haven't had Chinese

374
00:15:20.639 --> 00:15:22.480
food in ages. It's like Chinese could be good.

375
00:15:22.559 --> 00:15:26.360
I go through phases of the type of junk I like, yeah,

376
00:15:26.399 --> 00:15:28.440
like I've been on a chicken chicken deal, you know,

377
00:15:28.600 --> 00:15:30.679
just like a chicken strippy deal, because I eat so

378
00:15:30.919 --> 00:15:34.000
the same shit every single day. It's like nutritionally yea.

379
00:15:34.120 --> 00:15:35.840
Then I'll go through a block of like, dude, I

380
00:15:35.879 --> 00:15:37.000

381
00:15:37.159 --> 00:15:38.919
I'll eat the same thing until I'm sick of it

382
00:15:39.440 --> 00:15:41.200

D fixation. It's yeah, I'm gonna eat this every day

384
00:15:43.799 --> 00:15:46.080

385
00:15:45.960 --> 00:15:48.240
