Now, kids will say: "But wait a second,what do i put on my cereal?"
...problem solved
...right,
it's because this information isn't out,i mean,it's out there
but people aren't being taught it,and this is you know,
this is basically the alternative perspective and
if you can do your own research and find out if what i'm saying is
valid or not,but,i mean, you can go with these alternative milks,
but a lot of people are like:fake meat and fake milk,they're not fake,
they're real,these are real products and they come from plants,
you have the soy milk,the almond milk,rice milk,
coconut milk,oat milk,you can do hemp milk,
high in protein,hum,so these are alternatives you can do,
i know you've all heard of a
taste test,right? Well,let's do a health test,right...
So,here we have the milk that comes from an animal
and here we have the milk that comes from a plant,the soy bean,
there is 150mgr of calcium for half a glass
in your cow's milk,how many do you think is in your soy milk?
...same,it's 150,
it's exactly the same in a half glass,alright,so
what's the difference? Well,this comes from an animal and
once again animal protein can leach calcium out of the bone,
and/or animal products,meat,milk,dairy,fish,
is high in cholesterol,has cholesterol and your body
naturally makes cholesterol,you don't need to put anymore cholesterol in your body.
So,this has cholesterol,this doesn't...
all plant products don't have any cholesterol
and,all plant products,everything you see up here,everything you
see over there on the table,fruits,vegetables,
rice,beans,has fiber...has fiber,so
plants have fiber and no cholesterol,animal products
...no fiber and high in cholesterol,so,again,let's do
a health test: high in cholesterol,no fiber...
high in fiber,no cholesterol.
Which one do you think is the safer choice?
...i rest my case!
Alright,hum...but you
don' have to do this,i mean,human beings don't really need to drink anything besides
water,that's really all we need to be drinking,
you can have your orange juice and your apple juice but we just need water, again,
this is for the cereal,hum,but you can get all your calcium
from plants,just think what is the largest and strongest animals on earth?
...the elephant,he weighs 10.000 pounds,
you know what his diet consists of...?...
that's it, i don't think he's eating spinach but hum,
it's his plants! His plants,hum
tell an elephant that he,hum,his bones look a little weak,
he needs to be drinking the milk of a cow? You get all the
calcium from this.Now,a lot of people say to me,
oh man,i mean,i get it but you know what,
i love my cheese,i can't give up my cheese; i tell people this:
if you're gonna give up any product,give up dairy!
Dairy is the worst,i mean,the greatest trick ever pulled was
to convince people they need to drink milk,
dairy is the worst,in terms of the cruelty inflicted
upon the animals,they suffer for a longer period of time,
and it's just completely unnatural and unhealthy,it's
unhealthy and there's a reason why
people love their cheese and their milk,
it's meant to be addictive! I mean,just think about it,it might
be hard,i can't remember but,you know,when we were younger,
most likely we were nursing from our mother,from her milk,
...it has to be addictive,
the child has to want to have more,why?
because this is the greatest growth spurt in their life,
this is the greatest growth spurt that you ever had when you were
a baby drinking your mother's milk,same for all the other
animals,and as we get older,our parents,including
the animal parents,wean their children off of it,so
...you're supposed to desire it,
you're supposed to want it,and then you get weaned of off it.
...They're selling the product,it's addictive,
it's addictive, it has a chemical
called caso morphine,when you digest it,that chemical
is released: caso morphine,morphine,it makes you
giddy,it makes you want more,it makes your brain think: eat more,eat more,
and your body is saying,i can't,i can't digest it properly.
So,you are addicted,the first step to recovery
is to acknowledge it...
68% of all diseases in the United States
are diet related,these are government statistics,what that means
is,especially when i talk to high school classes,my audience
is,99% eating meat,dairy and eggs, if you don't change
your food choices, you might become part of the statistics.
I mean,it's what,3 out of every 5 people,
...this is a government statistic,in fact,
what are the leading causes of death in the United States,what are the top 3?
...cancer,heart disease,
strokes, diabetes is number 6,right?
Every 40 seconds,somebody suffers a stroke in the United States.
That's from the American Stroke Association,
the American Heart Association says that every 24 seconds
somebody suffers a heart attack in the United States,
and the Institute for Cancer research says that every
day,3.400 people
in the United States are diagnosed with cancer...3.400 people
every day,new people,how many people in this room know somebody
or knew somebody who has or had cancer,raise your hand...
...take a look around you,
anybody finding this a little disturbing?...
We might be living longer but we're living longer with
diseases that haven't been around,that,
that are more rampant than they ever have
been,in fact i've been reading that they say that
the children today,the young generation today
will die at a younger age than their parents,
meaning that if your parents are living till they're 75,
they might die at 70 and we're just going
down,how is that possible? In fact,is the
68% coming from the image on the right or the left?
I mean,have you ever heard of somebody suffering a heart attack
as they're eating too many fruit and vegetables?*laughs* it's unheard of.
A key to a healthy diet is a variety of food and a variety of colours,how much
variety do you really see? In fact,why
why is this causing most of the deaths and disease?
...Because despite what we've been told,
despite what we've been taught,we look nothing
like omnivores...biologically speaking,we don't look anything like
carnivores,we look identical,biologically speaking,to our brother
from another mother,we look like gorillas,we look
like the great apes,we look like the horses,the cows,
the giraffes, the elephants,the
zebras,how so? ...our teeth
...canines...
i love it when someone says what about our canines?
Really? You really think they're very sharp? I mean,
if we had like sharp canines like our cats and dogs and
you really think we have sharp canines,take a look at our cats and dogs,
we wouldn't be using knives and forks if we had these,right? hum,
we have more teeth,...why?
We chew our food,tonight,when you're feeding
your cat or dog,notice what they do,leaving out chewing,mostly swallowing.
Our jaw...
goes like this:we grind our food,their jaw opens up wide,
in fact,if you wanna know what humane slaughter looks like,
here it is,look at the animal kingdom,the fastest
land animal is the cheetah,goes 70 miles per hour,
now a tiger can go about,i think it's about 35/40 miles per hour,it's pretty quick,
then you have the deer,the antelope,the gazelle,
not as fast,so you have carnivores:tiger,
cheetah,jaguar and then you have the deer,antelope,
hum,and the gazelle,so
herbivores...carnivores,now the carnivores
are quicker,what's,what's
the difference here? We got,on the right side,
well,your left side,the carnivores
are all the tracking fields stars,quick sprint,
out of breath,they don't have very much endurance
On the left side,or again on the right side for you,
this would be the herbivores,which don't have as much speed but
have more endurance,they are the country-cross runners,
so,what we'd like to assume or maybe
no,we don't like to assume,but logic would say
ok,that the faster animal would always get his prey,but that's
not the case,it's not the case because you have
the tracking field versus the cross-country,so that means
the tiger is only successful in the hunt 20% of the time,
that means 8 out of every 10 deer escape the slaughter,so what kind of
deer would the tiger be able to capture?
The sick,the weak,the injured,
the lost,the old,the young... these animals
weed out the weak...
We're not doing anything like that,in fact,if we were meant to be
on top of the food chain,don't you think we would have some claws to rip through flesh,
and if i brought a pig into the room and asked you to kill the pig with your claws,
the pig would probably enjoy it more than anything else,
and this is perhaps most important,your intestines
is the symbol of what it represents,heuh small intestine,
large intestine also known as the colon,small,large,
now your intestines,combined,large and small,
make up 10 times your body size,the body being from your mouth
to your ***,it's about 3 feet,multiply that by 10 and
you have 30 feet of intestines in your stomach and it's
from this wall to that door,30 feet of intestines in your stomach,
carnivores,omnivores,it's about 3 to 6 times their body length,
so let's say,it'd be about,
you know,anywhere from 15 to 20 feet. Thirty feet,
15 feet,whose food gets out quicker?..
...Simba's,
which is good,because you can call it bacon as much as you want,but once
it's in your body,it's no longer bacon,it's decomposing flesh,it's bacteria,
and it builds up and they have,by the way,ten times the amount
of hydrochloric acid to break it down so we don't even have the
pH balance and the enzymes to break it down properly,so what happens:
it leads to clogged arteries,which leads to heart disease,heart attacks,
strokes,diabetes,high blood pressure,high cholesterol
and obesity. You ever heard of a tiger suffering from
high blood pressure,high cholesterol,strokes,
obesity? You know why these animals don't suffer
from these diseases? Because they eat what's natural to their anatomy,
when it comes to diet,we are the dumbest species on this planet!
...What do these 2 things
have in common? ...mercury,in fact there's a warning label
there's a warning label on fish,i don't know if you've ever seen it?
You know what it says? Certain people shouldn't consume it,men or women?
...pregnant women.
Alright,hopefully,it's not pregnant men...
"Pregnant or nursing women,women who may become pregnant,young children should not eat the following fish,including tuna,
because nearly all fish and seafood contain some amount of mercury,chemicals
known to cause cancer,birth defects or other reproductive harm" What else does the government
tell women not to consume when they're pregnant?
Alcohol,cigarettes and drugs!
So basically,the government says:"Hey,if you think of becoming pregnant,lay off the drugs
for a little bit and stop eating fish! If it can do
that much harm to a woman,why would anybody want to consume it?
And i mean,do i really need to,you know say,
at this point,do anyone of us wanna touch
any food that comes from the sea?
All you gotta do is turn on the news,open up a newspaper,
what do you see?...oil spills...
Why,why would you wanna put this,here's how
it works:you take,you take a small fish in the gulf right now,right,
very,very small fish,that small fish is inevitably
gonna swallow some oil,he's gonna swim further out,maybe miles away
from the spill,it will then get eaten by a larger fish,
and now that larger fish is now contaminated and will swim
even further and that larger fish will get eaten by even a larger fish,
and that larger fish is contaminated with oil,
and then we catch that even larger fish and then we eat it.
Cooking the animal is not gonna get rid of the oil,it
becomes part of the meat. So,why did we consume it though,
why did we consume this,this flesh
of an animal...what have we been taught,we need to eat meat to get
...protein,protein,right?
But how many grams of protein are we supposed to get?
...anybody knows?...
ok,in terms of grams per day?
It'd be about,by the World Health Organisation,
40 to 50,about that,40 would be for the average female adult,
50 would be for the average male adult,but it's funny how we don't tell that to kids,
i mean,i learned this recently myself too,
you know,going through my whole life and never really
bothering to find out,nobody ever bothered to tell me,
it's like you know,saying,here have the keys to my car,go,you know,
pick up some stuff for me,go get my groceries
but i didn't teach you how to drive the car.Teaching kids,you gotta
eat it but not teach them how or how much. Now,again,
let me show you how easy it is to get protein:
alright,especially here in the United States,alright,your standard
American diet for breakfast,you got your bacon,you got your cow's milk,
and you got your hen periods. Alright,how many slices,
how many slices of bacon would you want? I know, you might
not eat bacon now but how many slices do you remember as a kid maybe?
...maybe 2? Ok,each slice has 5 grams,
that's 2 times 5,alright, how many eggs would you want?
2...each egg has 6 grams,
so what have we got 12+10=22,
how many glasses of milk? One glass,each glass has 8 grams,
so,you are at,what...30
You're not even done with breakfast,that's not including the toast with cow butter you might put on,
so,you're not even done with breakfast and you're
almost at the limit,the average american does not need to worry about
getting enough protein,they need to worry about getting too much protein,that's why
the United States has the highest rates of obesity in the entire world,
alright? And people tell me:" James,
well you don't eat meat,where do you get your protein from?"
Like all of a sudden,holy ***,like all of a sudden,it dawned
on me,i have been without protein for the last 8 years,let's go to Mc Donald's
to get a Big Mac,like i'm about to fall down or something,like i'm gonna pass out! *laughs*
...Hum,have you ever heard of somebody
in the United States,suffering from a lack of protein
and going to the hospital? It's unheard of!
You know,it's funny,even dealing with kids,kids say:
oh,i tried to go vegan for a day and i got
really sick! What??
*laughs* it's like,you know,people who know
somebody who are vegan who are sick! Really,i know
tons of meat eaters who are sick,yeah you can be an unhealthy vegan
what i'm telling you,it doesn't matter if you're eating meat,dairy,eggs,
fish or you're eating a plant based diet,you should
know what you're putting in your body,you should know how many grams of protein
you're getting,the amount of iron,calcium
that you're getting,by the way,people say omega 3 from fish,
you can get that from,you know, the seeds,the nuts,
you cant get that from other things,flax seeds are
a very good example,hum,
...Think about this: these are the largest
and the strongest animals on earth,what do their diets consist of?
Plants,so you're in good company if you're eating plants,and
what's so ironic about this,is that the largest and strongest land
animals,not only do they not just eat a plant based diet,
they also live the longest,these animals can live to
70 years,they can live to about 50 to 60 years,the gorilla
about 50 years in the wild and their diet consists of
nothing but plants,you're gonna tell any of them
they're missing out in protein? This animal
has 10 times the upper body strength of the average male adult,
and where is he getting all his protein from? From this!
His diet consists of roots,shoots,bamboo and banana,
he's getting all his calcium,all his iron,all his vitamins,all his minerals,
and amino acids...from this.
