Why Are Vegetarians Annoying (An Exploration of a Cultural Rift)

Good morning, John! Let's have this conversation. I feel like I've recently decided I just wanna have lots of really tough conversations on VlogBrothers. Let's, let's take these... Let's face it head on! John, I have a problem.

And its name is meat. Let's get this out of the way, there's definitely some conflict going on between, uh, the vegetarians, vegans of the world, and the rest of the world. I'm gonna talk about why I think that is in this video and I'm gonna start with the fact that vegetarians are....Right. Yes, animals raised for food do not have nice lives and even if they did they would still be killed in the prime of their lives so that I could have a tasty snack.

Yes, the amount of food eaten by animals who will later be eaten is massive. And so as more people eat meat, more land has to be put under cultivation. Yes, livestock contribute massively to climate change and are a primary reason for deforestation. And, yes, most people don't need to eat meat to be healthy.

And there are reasons both ways, like more than a billion people make at least some of their living from livestock. You don't wanna take all of those peoples' livelihoods away all at once. But as the global population grows as the global economy grows, it is very difficult to argue that vegetarianism is not a good thing. Basically, the important thing here is vegetarianism allows more people to have more food with less impact.

It's good. And so, when someone tells me that I should be a vegetarian or leaves a comment on a video asking me how do I. Justify eating meat, I have no recourse but to say that they are right and that I am wrong, but that I will continue eating meat because I'm the kind of person who has a hard time controlling myself, and it's hard enough not to eat a half a bag of Oreos for breakfast. Now my personal willpower aside, there's a fundamental conflict going on here.

I live in a society where eating meat is normal and being a vegetarian is not. It's Montana, you guys, like, there are places in America where vegetarianism is very normal; this is not one of them. But there's a difference between acting in accordance with society's expectations, which will very rarely get you criticised and is definitely the easy thing to do, and actually living in a way that is best for the future and for people and for all of the organisms on the planet. And that's the reality of meat-eating.

It is a thing that I don't need to do, but I do, despite the fact that it makes the world worse for current animals and future people. This is a big one for our society, but there are lots of examples of this, like I've always found it a little bit immoral that I spend money on things that are not necessary like Coca- Cola, and flying to San Francisco, and that fifth ticket to The Force Awakens, when there are people dying of preventable diseases. I do those things instead of giving that money to Save the Children for the same reasons that I eat meat:  because it's easier, it's simpler, I like them, and I'm not perfect. But it's also more than that, like, acting in accordance with society, to a certain extent, isn't just the easy thing to do, it's also, kinda, the only thing to do.

I've experienced this, you can only do so much breaking with culture before you become extremely uncomfortable. It's very hard to find self-worth, it's very hard to find connection... Like imagine if every time I saw someone buy a Coca-Cola, I, like, mumbled under my breath, like, "You know, there are people dying of preventable diseases." I would not have a lot of friends. So why are people annoyed by vegetarians? Because they have the audacity to work extremely hard to live in accordance with their values.

And because those values conflict with the values of society at large. People don't want to be told that the way that they live their lives and the things that they enjoy are making the world less good; especially when you got other stuff to worry about. But look, as frustrating as I'm sure both sides can find this at times, this cultural conflict is not a bad thing. I honestly believe that we're on our way to a better, brighter future, and 200 years from now, people will think it's ridiculous that we ate meat the way that we do.

There's no reason not to appreciate vegetarians for working very hard to live in accordance with their values, and I. Completely understand their desire to convert me and other people to their cause, to have us eat less or no meat, so I am thankful for you, all of you people who tell me to not eat meat. And, yet, I am going to continue eating less, but not no meat, because it's easier, it's simple, I like it, and I'm not perfect. John, I'll see you on Tuesday..

What Would Happen If the World Suddenly Became Vegetarian

Americans love their meat, with the average
person consuming roughly 198 lbs (90 kg) of pork, beef and chicken every year. The global average is considerably less, at
around 75 lbs (34 kg) per year, but not everyone is a meat lover, as around 5% of the worlds
population choose to be vegetarian. In the USA, close to 5% of people choose this
lifestyle compared to 12% of Bris and 30% of Indians. With the majority of the population currently
consuming meat and enjoying burgers, ribs, bacon, wings, and steak on a daily basis,
what would happen if everyone just stopped? How would it affect the economy, our livelihoods,
the environment, and our health? Thats what were going to look into,
in this episode of the Infographics Show, What Would Happen If the World Suddenly Turned
Vegetarian? Do not forget to subscribe and click the bell
button so that you can be part of our Notification Squad.

Economy
It is estimated by the North American Meat Institute (NAMI) that the meat industry brings
$894 billion to the US economy with $95 billion of that being for beef alone. 800,000 People are employed in the meat and
poultry business in the US, and millions worldwide, so a sudden turn to vegetarianism would mean
a huge loss of jobs. It would, at the same time, create jobs in
different fields. Moving into a meat-free lifestyle would have
a significant impact on the worlds economy, with the meat industry being perceived in
value of up to $1.6 Trillion by 2050.

Social Impacts
The social impacts of global vegetarianism could be devastating for many communities. Currently, around 1 billion people dedicate
their lives to tending to livestock and lands or working in meat factories, so if we stopped
eating meat, their livelihoods would be stripped from them, losing their income and lands. What work could they do instead? Many may take to growing and selling fruit,
vegetables or wheat crops, or finding another source of income. The poor could be hit hard with their diet
no longer including the nutrition that they get from meat with animal products containing
many more nutrients than grains and rice.

There are many cultural and religious traditions
that include meat as a focal point, which would no longer exist or would have to be
altered due to a vegetarian lifestyle. Many of the 1.8 Billion Muslims around the
world celebrate Eid al-Adha every year as part of the Islamic calendar and as part of
this tradition, a goat or sheep is slaughtered and some of the meat is offered to poor and
needy families. In the USA, a longstanding tradition is having
a turkey on the table for Thanksgiving dinner, but in a meat-free environment, what would
be the feature food on our plates? Tofurkey? Now lets look at some of the positive impacts
a sudden change to vegetarianism would have. Environment
In a vegetarian world, our environment would be much better off, leaving way to a healthier
and cleaner planet for future generations.

Livestock production and the meat industry
is thought to be one of the biggest contributors to climate change, with a larger impact on
the planet than anything else, as 14.5% Of the worlds greenhouse gas emissions are
caused by the human activity of meat production. Most people do not even think about the effect
food has on climate change, but if we stopped eating meat, we would be doing our planet
a favour with gas emissions being reduced significantly. Meat production emits much higher gas emissions
than fruit and vegetable production, and research has shown that the production of beef is so
environmentally destructive that it causes 5 times more climate warming emissions than
other animals. In the US, an average family of four emit
more greenhouse gases due to the meat they consume than from having two cars on the road.

With the sudden change to vegetarianism and
the elimination of meat, our food related emissions could drop by up to 60-70%. Water
Another major environmental cost of meat production is water usage, with livestock consuming more
of our water than anything else, and also being one of the largest causes of polluted
water. The total water footprint for one pound of
beef is 200 times that of one pound of plant foods. One kilo of beef requires 15,000 litres of
water before it arrives on your dinner plate, while a roast chicken would take up 4,325
litres.

Globally there are millions of people that
do not have access to clean drinking water, so if there were less livestock to feed, there
would be a lot more water to go around. Land
According to Dutch scientists, there are currently 2.7 Billion hectares of land being used for
cattle grazing with between 20-30% of the globes ice-free land solely for farming
pigs, chicken and cattle. Another 100 million hectares on top of that
are dedicated to growing the crops that feed the livestock. In the US, around 700 million tons of food
are consumed by livestock alone each year, which could actually be given to humans instead
to help combat world hunger, which could be eliminated with an estimated 40 million tons
of food.

Global vegetarianism could free up this land
currently used by livestock, and even though a lot of it would not be suitable for habitation
for humans, some of it could be used to cater to the growing global population, to grow
more plants, and to lead way for other innovative ways to use the land. Health
56 billion animals are farmed and killed each year for human consumption with many being
kept alive by a steady diet of drugs so they withstand the stressful and unsanitary farming
conditions. At any time of year, there are approximately
20 billion chickens, 1.5 Billion cows, 1 billion pigs, and 1 billion sheep in farms and factories
around the world  that is three times the amount of humans and they are all there to
feed us. According to the Food and Agriculture Organization,
the number of animals that require land for grazing is growing by 25 million each year.

Factory farmed animals are full of diseases
and can be a breeding ground for new strains of viruses and superbugs. By eliminating these factory farms, we could
lower the risk of antibiotic resistant bacteria and diseases such as Mad Cow Disease being
released into our environment. Protein? Another point to consider would be that without
meat to provide all-important protein in our diets, what would be our primary source? Fortunately, there are many alternatives. Soybeans are historically known as meat
without bones and contain 35% protein, meaning it is a quality protein source.

There is a current perception that vegetarians
drain the worlds plant sources but in fact most of the soybean crops and grains grown
go to livestock. Other ways we could get a healthy dose of
daily protein would be to eat more peas, nuts, beans, quinoa, greens and buckwheat. Dairy milk and chicken eggs are also an excellent
source, provided that milk and egg farms would still be in operation. So, what do you think? Would the world benefit from a global vegetarian
diet? Let us know your thoughts in the comments! Also, be sure to check out our other video
called Vegans vs Meat Eaters! Thanks for watching, and, as always, dont

What I Eat In A DayVegetarian

[Music] My name's Jasmine, and this is what I eat in a day. Breakfast is my all-time favorite meal. No matter what day it is, I always have to make myself a fruit smoothie. I use about a cup of frozen blueberries, six to ten frozen strawberries, and about a handful of frozen banana chunks.

I put in the blueberries, strawberries, bananas, and sometimes I'll add a tiny, tiny bit of Vega protein powder only if I know I didn't get enough protein the day before. And then I'll fill it almost to the very top with coconut water. And then I'll just top it off and let it sit for a minute so it's easier to blend. Meanwhile, I'll put in my toast.

This is sprouted whole grain bread, which is my favorite bread I found health-wise. And then while I wait for my toast to finish, I start blending my smoothie. When it's done, I pour it in a mason jar, and by that time my toast is usually finished. I use this butter from Costco that I really like because it's really easy to spread, and it's also organic.

I've also been doing this ever since I was a kid, but I sprinkle a little sugar on top. This is some coconut sugar I bought from Vitacost. And then this is what my breakfast looks like on days where I don't have to rush off to work. For snack, I like to eat a combination of two of my favorite snack things.

The first is Bare apple chips, and the second is roasted sprouted almonds. Then of course in the afternoon, I'll have some lunch. For lunch, I like to introduce some greens. This day, I decided to make a salad.

I washed and cut up some romaine lettuce. And my family had extra Olive Garden dressing and croutons. So once everything was set up, I added the lettuce in a bowl along with the dressing and croutons and then put them in the fridge while I made my pasta. This pasta is my favorite because it's made of only quinoa, amaranth, and sprouted brown rice.

All good, no bad. And the tomato sauce is literally just tomato, salt, and seasoning. I just put water on the stove to boil, and once the pasta is done, I drain it and start heating up the sauce in the pot. Then I'll add in the pasta and stir it until it's all mixed in.

With every meal, I like to drink a cup of cold lemon water. So, I'll add one into a mason jar, and then I'll fill it with water from our Brita filter. And that's what I ate for lunch. After lunch, I like to eat a little something to tie me over.

And then for dinner on this day, I decided to eat some potatoes and broccoli. I start off by boiling some water and then adding some salt. After that, I'll scrub the potatoes and prep them to be cut. I like to cut them into four pieces so the chunks aren't too big or too small.

Then I'll put them in, and once the water starts to boil again, I'll cover it and turn the stove down to low. After they're done, I'll put the potatoes on parchment paper - instead of aluminum foil - and then start smashing them down with a cup. After that, I'll add a lot of garlic powder, salt, and then olive oil. I'll pop then in the oven for about 15-20 minutes, and once they're done, they're a nice squishy golden brown.

I don't make them exactly like my mom yet, but we're getting there. And that's what I eat in a day..

VEGETARIANS TRY MEAT FOR THE FIRST TIME

Gonna be tasting meat, for the first time in about 30 years. I've been a vegetarian for about a year now. So I'm really just, completely turned off meat, so (sigh) I'm really nervous. Comin' up to five years I would be vegetarian now I'd say.

I fell off the wagon once or twice at the start, cause it's not easy. But yeah a good 5 years, I'm proud to say Oh my god! It's sausage, what, is that bacon around it, is it? I've only ever had a barbecued (pause) vegetable so, (nervous laugh) It's not as good as I remembered, I'm sorry (laughs) oh my god...Sorry... I'll take one more (laugh) I won't I'm not touchin' it no I just couldn't imaging swallowing it. (Sigh) No, god no (nervous laughs) Gosh, even cutting this is hard That's the one thing you never have to worry about with vegetables I knew there was gonna be meat involved, but no, I didn't even, but I wasn't even gonna allow myself to think what kind of...Meat Jesus how do people do this? *Groans no* Is that enough of a taste? (Nervous laugh) I can't do it Just doesn't seem like food So dipping the chicken in the blue cheese, is that cheating? Okay, now that's as good as I remember Strangely, out of all the meats chicken is the one that I really can't stand even the thought of oh my god...

Even just the fact that you have to touch it your fingers just, when I took a bite into it and I touched the bone, i was just... (Disgusted sounds) yeah, its the skin and the mmmmm..... I'm sorry that is so good This is definitely the worst so far This is cow... This should be easy because well easier I think cause it's more processed I can really just...

Taste the meat by,  compared to everything else with it, it's really, just need to spit it out Old McDonald had a farm... Oh my god, there's so much chewing and it's just...Sorry e, i, e, i... I can feel the knife cutting into it and I'm like ughhh Yeah, this is my memory of meat, that,  you're just chewing and chewing and it's not going anywhere. Veal? What is that? Honestly with veal it's kinda the ethical thing that's why people don't eat it, but in terms of tasting...I can't imagine it's any different.

Ugh, my stomach's turning even just thinking about biting into it. I feel so guilty cause that's nice it is like exactly nice It just does nothing for me, the taste is just, really kind of bland tissue-y um, yeah it doesn't really taste of anything The texture was much better than the steak because it's a baby Just I don't look at it as being food anymore like I really just look at as being, like, the flesh of an animal I'm a lot more set, yeah, a lot more assertive and sure that I'm...I'm vegetarian for life 100 percent What did one vegetarian say to the other vegetarian? We've got to stop meat-ing like this! That's all I've got that's my only vegetarian joke you're laughing! Oh no! I have another one now, I actually do, I have another one Why did the chicken cross the road? (Off camera) why? He was running from Colonel Sanders.

I have no fucking clue I didn't go to school me either I think my overall conclusion is that: meat? Is it good? Sure. But it's not great. But meat's not bad meat has its moments it doesn't make me feel that good it kind of makes me feel a little bit oily...And sweaty I think that was the meat lover's pizza I think that was just me though...Like I think I was just like that before maybe ur just a little nervous :P. I ate the meat and I chewed it up and I swallowed that shit meat honestly is a solid four and a half out of ten I really am underwhelmed.

Vegetarian Thai Food A Guide to Eating Healthy (and Delicious) Thai Food!

Hey everyone, this is Mark Wiens with Eating
Thai Food dot com. Today I'm at one of the ultimate vegetarian food courts in Bangkok,
it's called Baan Suan Pai, also known as Banana Family Park. Of course, if you're vegetarian
or vegan you're going to absolutely love this place, but the food is so good here, you'll
want to eat here even if you're a carnivore. To get to Baan Suan Pai take the BTS to Ari
station, take exit number one and go down the stairs to your left, walk along Phahon
Yothin road for about one hundred meters until you reach a sign that says welcome to banana
family park.

Turn right into the small cafe alley way, walk all the way to the back past
a few coffee shops and a few stores until you can smell the delicious vegetarian food. It's like a food court style, so you order
your food here and then you go sit at a table. As you can see, I went a little crazy, but
the food all looked so good that you can easily accumulate a bunch of different things. I'm
going to go through the food right now and show you exactly what I ordered.

I got a dish, it's a curry made with pumpkin. Bitterness is an excellent flavor but it does
take a little getting used to. Ohh, I love that. This is called puak tod, and this is taro
ground up and then it's fried on the outside into a loaf.

Add some of this sauce. Got a quick dish here called kuay teow lui
suan, it's like a noodle wrapper filled with lettuce, some herbs, I think there's some
tofu and mushrooms in that. It's very fresh, the sweet and sour and spicy sauce is fantastic. This is probably my favorite thing at this
whole restaurant, these beautiful skewers of steak.

No they're not steak actually, they
are mushrooms. I just wanted to mention the vegetarian Thai
food guide. It's an eighty page ebook stuffed with useful information and tips about how
you can order and eat tastiest vegetarian and vegan food that Thailand has to offer. If you're vegetarian, if you're vegan, or
even if you just want to start eating healthy delicious Thai food, make sure you get your
own copy of the vegetarian Thai food guide, so you can take advantage of this awesome
food, it's just incredible.

Anyways, as you can see, I still have a bunch
of food left on the table, I'm about to dig in and finish it all. I finished off all of the food except for
this last bite which is the last remaining piece of het hom ping, the absolute sirloin
kobe beef of all mushrooms and it's fully vegetarian. It just melts in your mouth, it's
juicy, it's tender, that will put a smile on your face any day. Thanks for watching this video, when you're
in Thailand make sure you eat and sample all kinds of delicious Thai vegetarian food and
don't forget to check out the vegetarian Thai food guide!.

Vegetarian Pizza from McDonald's is not a Myth

Hello everyone, this is Running On Empty ... Food Review! Well hello ladies and gentlemen and everyone watching This is Running On Empty Food Review and I am your host TheReportOfTheWeek So I'm at the world's largest McDonald's yet again. It's uh been about over a year since I was here last and one of the cool things at least about the world's largest McDonald's here in Orlando is that they have a much larger menu than most other McDonald's in the area and one of the very unique things that they offer here And I should mention first and foremost this isn't like a new nationwide release this isn't like a new menu item or promotion that's available at all McDonald's. Really, the immutable fact of it all is that this is a novelty item that's really available at this McDonald's here in Orlando, and then at two others one in West Virginia and one in Ohio and that is pizza You can get mcdonalds pizza here It was released originally back in the 80s as a big menu promo and things that kind of fell through But there were a few locations and still have it kind of is like a promo unique item Etc and this is one of them.

Now, it's a build-your-own pizza So it's not like they just have pepperoni pizza, and the meatball pizza and a vegetable pizza They have-- It's all customizable, so have an array of toppings that are out there They have a variety of things you could do with the pizza You could get a combination...You could even get pineapple on the pizza I bet if you really wanted it you could get no cheese No, sauce just the base and pineapples if that's what you really want. They have a brick oven in there They'll they'll probably do it and you can kind of get a pizza your way, which is pretty cool. And I. Decided I should say to change things up.

Instead of getting a usual pepperoni pizza, which I already did try out and review the last time I was here, I got kind of like a vegetarian pizza as I said, it's build your own, but here's what it has on it, all right. It's got their standard pizza, sauce which is like you know mozzarella not mozzarella Just your standard tomato sauce has mozzarella cheese on it That's where I was getting that from diced green peppers diced tomatoes spinach and sliced mushroom Which is pretty cool that you can get that from McDonald's, you know doesn't sound like it? But it is it comes in this full-blown official pizza box right here, which I think is pretty cool I almost dropped it but disaster was averted And now for the grand reveal The one thing is sometimes it's tough. Oh here it goes This is what it looks like right here. It's a, uh-- It's like a build-your-own veggie pizza from McDonald's and I.

Think it is impressive, and I think you know they deserve praise where they get it And they deserve the criticism where it is, but I think it's pretty impressive that this pizza came from McDonald's I mean if you saw this doesn't look like something that would even be associated with McDonald's so I think that in and of itself It's pretty cool One thing about the box is sometimes it's a little hard to navigate. That's okay anyway Let's get ourselves a slice here Seems like it was cut pretty good Is that the view of a slice looks like you can see a little bit of a baked on the bottom there? Little baked on the crust, too and That's what it looks like so we know what's on it again I kind of wrote it down here mozzarella cheese pizza sauce diced green peppers diced tomatoes spinach and Mushroom so with that being said I think I'm just going to try this one out It's a McDonald's veggie pizza going in You know it was interesting it's a an interesting observation at least When I went in Remind you this is like in a big tourist hub There's a lot of people around a lot of people going in and out back and forth It's around lunch hour too. So midday people are naturally going to McDonald's especially one. That's this big kind of talked about it cetera And I thought there were gonna be more people in there Taking advantage of the pizza.

You know they it's one of three locations in the country that serves McDonald's Pizza that's not like this is an item that you could get at any McDonald's and I mean, that's it's legit It's not like they take out a frozen disc and put it in a microwave for 10 seconds and Bon Appetit They have a full-blown cook oven you know pizza oven right there, which is Pretty cool to have a pizza making station and everything so they're dedicated to it. They have the full set up So I thought they were gonna be people you know ordering pizza in there Surprisingly enough it seemed like almost no one ever even gets the pizza here I don't know if it's because a lot of people just you know go in and associate our I want a Big Mac from McDonald's, and I just want to get a you know double hamburger and some fries and a coke and Maybe they don't even know that you could get pizza here or maybe they see it And they just don't really know what to do it might be a little overwhelming But I thought that more people would be kind of taking advantage of McDonald's Pizza books again You can't it's not a place. We could get it every day So That's a that's one in kind of interesting thing I thought more people would kind of be taking advantage of the opportunity to get a pizza and With that being said how was the pizza I? Think when it comes down to pizza especially something that's treated as a novelty especially something that's kind of Looked at that it came from a fast food place People will instinctively try to associate it with fast food quality that they'll see this pizza from McDonald's And you know they can't do anything about this But when people think of McDonald's and pizza if even such a thought does occur there are We're just gonna think of kind of the lowest Denominator of pizza they're gonna think it's like you know just your your garbage frozen pizza But the preparation that goes into it really does a lot when it comes down to the quality of the pizza They took their time to do this They put effort into this, and I think you could taste it, too. I think it's comparable to a pizzeria style pizza It's it's hand tossed And it's not super thin crust but it's not like a Deep-dish doughy pan pizza at all has a little bit of a crispiness and a little bit of a bake on the bottom and on The crust adds a little bit of a crunch to it, which is pretty good.

Here's my favorite thing about it, though The ingredients are a lot fresher than you would think coming from McDonald's Because I know sometimes people will get the Big Mac look at the lettuce And I say oh this lettuce tastes like it's been sitting here. You know for insert period of time or You get something with a tomato on it and they think the tomato is just rancid or whatever and people might think that the ingredients are just freeze-dried, but they're really fresh I. Was just impressed by it especially vegetables Because those I mean they don't have a very long lifespan in terms of being out And if they're trying to be preserved or frozen or whatever it might be it's kind of noticeable But I was surprised at the overall freshness of the ingredients and it really does make a difference in terms of of The quality of it when it's fresh when it's freshly made when it's not just heated up and everything is Put together. I think the quality is there taste is certainly there It was it was really flavorful.

I really enjoyed it really taste the mozzarella cheese on this which is kind of rare even for take-out pizza sometimes the cheese just blends in with everything and all the individual vegetables - very flavorful as I said very fresh and Overall I was just impressed by a truth be told and maybe I say that with a little bit of a bias because I had gone here before I. Had one of their pizzas before the first time I had it. I didn't know what to expect You know I thought to myself. Maybe this is this gonna be Garbage, I don't know But I tried it and I was kind of taken back by how good it was then I came back And I thought it's gonna give out like a veggie pizza, try.

I also said the other day I wanted to try to start you know expanding to maybe some vegetarian types of things if the channel 2 had my sights on this and sure enough they did a good job with it and And it's it's definitely quality it might be a novelty item But it's not just gonna be something that is completely Flavorless and something you could take a selfie with and and post and then just throw in the trash bin cuz it's that bad It's something that you'll enjoy you can share about you could say I got mcdonalds pizza And you didn't if you really want to be that person you can But I think it's a pizza that you'll enjoy too and tastes pretty good Price-wise smoothness, it's around $9 which makes sense Their pizza for a novelty pizza, but it's a good pizza So I think the price is fair it tastes pretty good so that being said out of 10 I'm going to be giving this pizza a 9 point 3 out of 10 because as I said, I was impressed by it the quality was was much higher than I think many would anticipate from this and Just all in all I think they did a good job with it so that's all that I have for you today I'm your host to the port of the week today We were trying out the McDonald's build your own pizza from the world's largest McDonald's here in Orlando also If you're interested you could check out our Teespring store if you want any report of the week merchandise You could find the links in the cards in the description we're at https://teespring.Com/stores/thereportoftheweek and also If you want to help this channel out you could also support us on Patreon https://www.Patreon.Com/TheReportOfTheWeek Again more info about that in the description and in the cards.
