[00:00:25]>> You feel sad for them? Why do you feel sad for them?

[00:00:27]>> Because we use them.

[00:00:28]>> We use them. Do you think that they like to use animals but >> Definitely, yes.

[00:00:32]>> Are you vegan?

[00:00:34]>> What?

[00:00:35]>> What?

[00:00:35]>> What?

[00:00:36]But I try to, definitely. I try to.

[00:00:38]>> Wait.

[00:00:39]>> I eat cheese, that's the problem.

[00:00:41]>> You eat cheese? But why do you cheese?

[00:00:43]>> I don't know.

[00:00:44]>> You don't know, but you know that it's wrong for them.

[00:00:46]>> it's wrong, definitely.

[00:00:47]>> know what happens to dairy cows?

[00:00:49]>> Yeah, I watched one movie I needed to stop because I started to cry.

[00:00:52]>> Yeah, aw, I'm sorry.

[00:00:55]It's a difficult movie.

[00:00:56]>> So, yeah. I try to be vegan, but it's hard if you like didn't know this and your friends are also not supporting this, it's like pretty not so easy.

[00:01:06]>> I can understand if your friends don't support it that there's some level of difficulty there. But say for instance, if you go to a restaurant, do you check what everyone else is eating?

[00:01:13]>> Yes.

[00:01:14]>> You you check what everyone else is eating? You're like, "What are you eating? You're not eating that."

[00:01:18]>> No, I just like checking like, "Okay, what's eating the other ones? Okay, what should I eat?"

[00:01:23]>> But everyone should makes their choice, right?

[00:01:24]>> Yeah, of course.

[00:01:25]>> So, would you judge somebody if they choose to eat the same thing as you?

[00:01:29]>> Uh-huh.

[00:01:30]>> Would you judge one of your friends if they choose to eat something different than you?

[00:01:33]>> No, of course not.

[00:01:33]>> So, if you choose to eat a plant-based dish, why would that be an issue? Would they judge you?

[00:01:38]>> No, I don't I don't think so.

[00:01:40]>> No, so then >> think so.

[00:01:41]>> So then, why would >> But but I I also I don't drink milk anymore and they're asking a lot of times like, "Why can you just drink normal milk?" And I'm like "Why should I?"

[00:01:52]>> So, you already have some difficulty.

[00:01:54]So, why not go all the way and stop exploiting all that?

[00:01:57]>> And it starts just Definitely.

[00:01:59]>> [laughter] >> Listen, I love your energy. I love what you're saying. But you know, whenever you buy cheese, you demand that an animal that the cow gets impregnated exploded.

[00:02:09]>> So, so why not why not stop? What's what's stopping you?

[00:02:14]>> Yeah, I'm trying. I also I try just to reduce it. Like don't eat it every day.

[00:02:20]Just like once in a month, two in a month.

[00:02:23]Also, I try to eat like this vegan variants, but it's not tasty. Sorry.

[00:02:28]>> Depends on which one you pick.

[00:02:29]>> Yeah, maybe you should give me the right one.

[00:02:31]>> [laughter] >> Have you tried the ones from what is it the for the cheese the There's a cowboy's one. I forgot the name.

[00:02:40]>> Yeah, if you put the name, I will screenshot it and I will search it.

[00:02:43]>> Yeah, I forgot. Hey chat, what's the cowboy's one called? The one that's in the Netherlands with cowboy's. Well, maybe the chat will say it. You'll find some in the supermarkets, but uh >> Yeah.

[00:02:52]>> Let's imagine that you can't find them, right? You can make your own with cashew and stuff. But >> Oh, really?

[00:02:57]>> Yeah, it's fairly easy. You just keep so you you have to just >> to blend it?

[00:03:01]>> Yeah, yeah, yeah. That's all you got to do. You just like soak the cashews in water, then blend them up with some like you find a recipe online. But it's fairly easy.

[00:03:09]Yeah. But like either way like we find some solutions. But you may not always find the cheese there for you. Do you think that you can abstain from it for a little bit?

[00:03:17]>> Yes, of course.

[00:03:18]>> Right.

[00:03:19]>> Yeah.

[00:03:19]>> It's about the rights of animals, right?

[00:03:21]>> Yeah, definitely. I think it's the same like Me, I started smoking and I cut it smoking. And it should be same. Like if you know, it's bad for you, you need to stop it.

[00:03:32]>> Yeah.

[00:03:32]>> And it's bad for not for you just, also for others, then you should stop it double.

[00:03:37]>> Double, exactly. So, what what are you going to do? Are you going to be vegan from now on?
