Edgy Veg says:

Mmm! Totally IS a latin grilled cheese! Great twist on a classic!

Gaby says:

As a 16 year old becoming Vegetarian and slowly switching to vegan without family support, your recipe videos make life 10x easier! It’s inspiring and look delish.
I will definitely try this out! Subscribed.

Robin Colarusso says:

i’m 16 and i just became vegan about 6 months ago. Even though i get support from my parents since my mom is pretty much vegan as well, It took some time for my friends and the rest of my family to get use to. It does get a lot easier though i promise. they’re so many yummy vegan foods out there to enjoy and i personally have adapted well to everything. The only thing i would recommend you do is take a B12 supplement because more often than not people with a plant-based diet usually have that certain vitamin deficiency. If they still don’t understand your decision in time then you just have to realize what you are doing for yourself and animals is more important. 

Gaby says:

I’m happily vegan. Have been for about a month now, I definitely have people who judge me but my family has continued to support me and try to understand. I do take b12 and eat with a veggie and fruit base. Thanks for your advice!

Anna Michelle says:

Hay, I’m fifteen and went vegan. 😊 it’s Ben almost a little bit long we than 6 months. ❤️

socalbby says:

Good for you!

noemy gomez says:

congrats for doing this, I’m also 16 I stopped eating meat 15 months ago, I was vegetarian first for about 5 months and I’ve been vegan since then. At first my family was like lol what especially since in my culture we eat a lot of meat and eventually it’ll be easy and if your family doesn’t support your choice then keep doing good they’ll see 🙂

maggie julia says:

I’m only 12 and I made this for my family. They LOVED it

Jeffrey Williams says:

Good for you! Keep It Up!

JustSomebody says:

dang, u really 18 now

sheila says:

Kat Chan says:

oooo this recipe looks delicious!! Great vid!!

meow0meow7 says:

I just love that “vegan cheese” even exists.

Dennis Simcott says:

This is a response to “richcampoverde”‘s comment about vegans being hypocrites for drinking their mother’s milk. As a vegan, let me explain where he went wrong. (For some reason I can’t reply on his actual comment.)

1. When you’re at an age where you rely on drinking mother’s milk, it’s also at an age where you’re extremely unlikely to have made the decision to be a vegan…hardly a hypocrite.

2. If you watch the free online documentary “Earthlings” you will understand that today’s mass manufacturing of cow’s milk is highly connected to the suffering of animals. The female cow is continually being kept pregnant, artificially inseminated over and over, in order to be able to produce large amounts of milk. The calf that is born will get to see very little of that milk if it’s (another milk producing) female, and practically nothing if it is a baby male, for it will then be slaughtered as veal. Humans are the only species that chooses to drink the milk of another species, for a very long time after is is actually necessary (after we’ve stopped relying on our mother’s milk).

3. The point of a vegan diet is to reduce as much animal suffering as possible. Sometimes we fail, and sometimes we’re doing rather well. But at least we’re trying. 

4. You’re right in saying that we have evolved from herbivores to omnivores, but that doesn’t mean that we somehow rely on eating meat. With the right source of nutrients, vegans can live an extremely healthy life without any vitamin pills. When it comes to health, there is no difference between a vegan with a bad diet, or a meat eater with a bad diet. In today’s educated western world, where we have continual easy access to all kinds of food, we can inform ourselves and decide where we get our nutrients from, without including the suffering of mass-produced animals. At different times in history, and still in many parts of this world today, a lot of people do not have this luxury of ever present foods, and hunting animals was and is essential to their own survival. You would never expect them to be vegetarian even.

And so there is no hypocrisy with being a vegan. It’s simply the desire to do your best in eliminating the unethical treatment of animals. Though, nobody’s perfect.

noemy gomez says:

Dennis Simcott honestly drinking your mothers milk is perfectly normal and ok, vegan is to not consume something that comes from an animal aside from us, cows are supposed to drink THEIR mothers milk just how we are ONLY supposed to drink our mothers milk as baby’s there is nothing unvegan about that 🙂

Chronometer says:

Lots of mistakes in your post. I don’t disagree with #2 #1 I don’t see as relevant since lost of people consume milk as adults.
#3 is not true that’s the cult side of Veganism, not everyone who is Vegan is part of that cult thinking.
#4. Yes you do need to take pills, B12 for example is only found in meat today so you must at the very least take that from time to time. one can go years without it, but vegans have died from lack of B12.

The hypocrisy in being Vegan is only with the cultist vegans. The reason is because cult Vegans don’t accept the reality of nature which is full of horrible animal suffering way beyond what humans do. At least we don’t eat them while they are still alive as many predators do. They don’t wait for it to die, it lays there watching for a hours some times as animals eat at it, it can only sit there in pain and watch as other animals pull out it’s stomach and eat it. The cultist Vegan utopia of animal cruelty is a myth, meant to prey on those with bleeding hearts.

In addition to part 4, most vegan foods are unavoidable for poor people, you always see these ivory tower cultist vegans preaching at people without ever considering that.

It’s sensible there for to demand better treatment for animals in farms, not all farms operate badly. Halal and kosher meat should be banned as it’s not the most humane way to kill the animal.

meowismeify says:

I have been eating meat my entire life but now I feel so guilty about it because it just doesn’t seem right that we are still killing and eating animals when we don’t need to. It’s not like we live in a era where we will go hungry and starve without meat. Anyways, I am starting off as a Vegetarian first and will slowly transition to Vegan when I get used to it. So far it’s a real struggle because I’m the only Vegetarian in my family and because I’m such a picky eater and I have always hated vegetables lol. But amazing recipes like these are making it a little bit easier. Thanks for this video 🙂

Abay Singh says:

meowismeify time i s coming fast when meat eatijng will be shunned off just like smoking. Remember how cool it was to smoke few decades ago?

The Craft says:

Nice one! Best of luck. It’s the most life changing rewarding thing I ever did. Rack some karma up my friend!

Jeffrey Williams says:

That’s awesome. I just made the decision to go vegetarian for a month as well! I LOVE animals and seeing these recipes, I believe I could do with no meat. Cheers!

Carter Folley says:

I don’t agree with mass meat production, but I do however fully support hunting

Chronometer says:

​@Abay Singh That would be terrible, some people can’t eat most vegan foods due to legume allergies. You might want to remember that when you feel like shunning people, not everyone can be a Vegan.

DramaFreeLife says:

I LOVE meat and am not looking to give it up :-). However we do 2 to 3 meatless nights a week. This looks so good that I may change the 2 to 3 times a week meatless nights to straight up VEGAN! I’m so making this soooooon 🙂

ABC12344566789 says:

you arent stopping eating meat and going vegan wtf

Chronometer says:

@ABC12344566789 Nothing wrong with that, lots of meat eaters eat vegan foods and vegetarian as well.

Elizabeth Henry says:

This was such a pleasant video. I love cooking channels with vibrant chefs! I’m not vegan, but am incorporating healthier foods into my diet. I love this channel because it enables me to do just that! 🙂

socalbby says:

I enjoyed this too!

Sarah Norment says:

I wish I had knife skills like him 🙂

Anita Jackson says:

Me too

Erik Skyler says:

Honestly not hard just learn the basic skills and then its just a matter of practice.

Jeffrey Williams says:

All it takes is a sharp knife, passion and practice. You can do it!!

Aqua_Finessa says:

DarthSailorMoon says:

@UCCpzaiK2XoAuUGGSl-VYNTg I can’t tell if you’re just trolling or literally too dumb to live?

Chronometer says:

@socalbby I hope they are better than the nasty plastic like ones I tried from several companies, no thank you.

Chronometer says:

@Joel Villarreal Chilli dogs are awsome!

karon Last says:

Oh my! I just discovered this channel . I am transitioning from vegetarian to vegan & this is a game changer. Thank you so very much my friend. peace, love & more.

Morgan Rene' says:

Nice vegans are so rare and few to come around. A lot of us omnivores would like info on vegan lifestyle, but yall are always so bitter and insulting. If you want to spread awareness about the benefits of being vegan, you should try a gentler approach. You catch more flies with honey 🙂

James White says:

@Morgan Rene’ Just YouTube ” EARTHLINGS”    😉 Love ya! 

Marcus Aurelius says:

+Morgan Rene' You catch even more flies with -censored-. Honey is not considered vegan 😉

Morgan Rene' says:

+jina194 pretty sure that’s not all she said in her previous comment and that’s not how a lot of vegan-omnivore convos go and we all know this but if that’s what u choose to believe =/

Jorge Carrillo says:

“do your best don’t stress” – awesome

Jessica Clorine says:

Who needs meat!? This looks absolutely delicious!

Lana León says:

Delinda Jensen says:

Han Renee says:

ALFredo SOS You don’t need to put this on every comment. Grow up kid. Go play outside instead of trolling people on an 11 month old youtube comment.

ABC12344566789 says:

@Jose Flores just benched 150kilos while having these starving vegan mucles

Chronometer says:

@Kylie Crucifixion There is a ton of miss information in your post that’s incorrect, but I’m not going to bother fixing that mess lol.

Chronometer says:

@ABC12344566789 I found eventually I started getting weak, low energy etc and had to switch. A lot of people are having that problem after years of the diet. I mean if it’s working for you great, but don’t be surprised if one day you start to realise that you don’t feel so good. That said maybe some of the new plant based products will overcome the problems with Vegan food. Beyond meat for example basically is meat made from vegetables. They are doing the processing in the factory that the animal would do naturally. Unfortunately some can’t eat those products due to allergies with legumes.

ABC12344566789 says:

@Chronometer it didnt work because you dong track macros or micros. Stop blaming a diet for your own lazyness
