00:00 Most poor people generally depend on milk and curd for their minimal protein requirement.

00:12 This too is a misconception and one does not quite need spirituality to refute this.

00:23 So if you look at the weight of nutrients obtained per rupee spent, then the nutrients

00:36 that one can obtain from flesh or milk products per rupee spent is either comparable to or

00:49 many a times even lower than the weight of ingredients one can obtain from purely vegan

01:02 products.

01:04 So it is a myth that veganism can be afforded only by the relatively resourceful.

01:20 There is enough medical literature now available to conclusively prove that if you want to

01:28 live a compassionate vegan lifestyle, it is not only not expensive, it may actually turn

01:37 out to be economically more feasible than an animal or animal product milk-based diet.

01:53 As far as nutrients are concerned, you see, today you have top athletes, champions in

01:59 tennis, cricket, several other sports, even in physically very very demanding disciplines

02:09 like bodybuilding, like weightlifting, like boxing, and these are the people who are not

02:19 only vegan but they actually actively ever that their performances raised to another

02:30 dimension after they turned vegan.

02:34 So not only are they saying that they are able to sustain their performances even while

02:40 being vegan, what they are saying is that their top level world beating performances

02:47 are due to veganism.

02:51 Surely this does not point towards a deficiency of nutrients in their body and we have more

03:03 and more research and medical material emerging everyday.

03:09 Obviously there is material to the contrary as well but let's also remember the times

03:15 we are living in.

03:18 The vegan movement is still in its infancy and it is pitted against the powerful forces

03:31 of animal agriculture, the meat industry, the leather industry, animal products industry,

03:40 the beauty products industry.

03:44 So there are industries worth trillions of dollars that are threatened by veganism and

03:56 obviously these industries would pour money into sponsored research reports that would

04:13 rail against veganism.

04:17 But if you go to credible agencies, you read what they are saying, you find out it works,

04:23 it seriously works.
