    It’s so frustrating that the presenter takes such a condescending tone when discussing veganism. Sure, he can imply that vegans are “libtards” or “trend followers” but at least we don’t support an industry that slaughters, rapes and tortures innocent animals on a massive scale. He even seems to take pride in it.

    Insects will be the future food source… Don’t need much to mass produce them.
    With a world were fresh water is depleting, global warming and constant deforestation for crops&cattle even if we leave this planet to another (which is unlikely for most of the population and the nearby planets are inhospitable ) we will surely eat bugs.



  5. Willy B on April 21, 2021 at 5:12 pm

    It looks tasty but unfortunately it’s still a low protein meal.

  10. Lewis Gospel on April 21, 2021 at 5:19 pm

  11. Nacho Eremita on April 21, 2021 at 5:20 pm

    yeah! cool! but you know… we not only eat for the "fleshy textureblabla" it’s about the nutrition and give the body the materials, a mushroom cant never give the thing that are in meat. eating fake meals is the future? it’s already look like that with all that packages colored flavored pretty fake food.



  12. FARM_ BOYO-_- on April 21, 2021 at 5:23 pm

    Still going to eat meat. End of story. The thing is he chose one of the most hated vegetables so i won’t be touching it



  13. Anon Unicorn on April 21, 2021 at 5:24 pm

    So many vegan stereotypes in one video. They kept on calling it hippie or a trend, which is far from representative of the vegan community. I did like the video overall though mostly because it reflected on the huge dietary shift in food production we are experiencing and the fact that it talked about the fact that non-vegans eating plant based meals from time to time are also having a positive contribution to this movement 🙂



  14. Idrees Saleem on April 21, 2021 at 5:25 pm

    Calling it a trend is quite dismissive. It is more accurate to describe it as a movement



  15. Kerrie McBride on April 21, 2021 at 5:26 pm

    Can’t they use an industrial-sized panini press to compress the mushrooms?



  16. Lili Anka on April 21, 2021 at 5:27 pm

    Lmao why didn’t he mention "saving the environment" when he was listing the benefits … It’s one of the biggest reasons



  17. Azul Luna on April 21, 2021 at 5:28 pm

    I’m slowly coming up with an Al Pastor recipe using this guy’s method with the oyster mushrooms



  18. Englishbus77 on April 21, 2021 at 5:29 pm

    Thank you very much for the correct subtitles…



  19. Robert Tucker on April 21, 2021 at 5:32 pm

    Veganism SUCKS!



  20. ThatsPhotography on April 21, 2021 at 5:34 pm

    let’s face it, Vegans practices extremism, unless you have a medical condition, a balanced meal is the solution. Vegans take it to the extreme and only consume 1 side of the food chain. The exact definition of extremism and the extremist vegans demonstrates these characteristics; against any compromise with the other side, demonize the other side, etc…

    balance well rounded diet over any form of extreme spectrum of food diets.



  21. Nishant Jain on April 21, 2021 at 5:34 pm

    If people are finding non veg items texture taste etc. Then they’re actually not vegetarian … They are still hypocrites !



  22. Hannah on April 21, 2021 at 5:36 pm

    First time a Brit is louder than an American



  23. nothing lastsforever on April 21, 2021 at 5:36 pm

    Why does this fraud constantly getting invitations to be on different kind of shows? Is there any good chef left in the UK?
    Impossible to believe someone with this kind of poor presentation and insights can be on BBC..



  24. mash made on April 21, 2021 at 5:37 pm

    hahaha vegans obsessed about eating non animal products that reminds them of the animal taste :))) why arent they obsessed with the taste of crappy antinutrients ?! sprinkle some sugar on it :))))



  25. Sebastian 2213 on April 21, 2021 at 5:37 pm

    It’s more of an animal rights movement rather than a trend



  26. Lewis Wise on April 21, 2021 at 5:40 pm

    I’m the same as Gregg, I could never give up meat altogether, but I do still think it’s important to incorporate more plant-based foods into my diet.



  27. challenge84 on April 21, 2021 at 5:42 pm

    If you want to be vegan but can’t get over the fact that you will no longer consume meat and constantly looking for meat taste alternatives, I am thinking that you got it all wrong in the first place. The point is to go for a healthy plant based variety, naturally enriched with proteins, minerals and vitamins without the need to consume animal (taste) products. Veganism is not just salads and fruits, it’s about choosing wisely what you eat. Vegan junk food (which is in fact trending) is just as bad as your ordinary meaty- junk meal, it’s a processed product full of chemicals.



  28. Ines Boza on April 21, 2021 at 5:44 pm

    Why are all the comments dissing on this video. Yes its not perfect but holy moly what a change in attitude amongst TV personalities etc…. Love this



  29. fikaso on April 21, 2021 at 5:44 pm

    Why does every meal has to be in the fukin plastic box in a plastic bag!!!!



  30. Karen Lamb on April 21, 2021 at 5:46 pm

    No one gets healthier by eating "food" we can’t digest. I am a recovering raw plant based dummy. My intelligence is returning as I left that lie far behind thirteen months ago



  31. Carl london Numan on April 21, 2021 at 5:46 pm

    We are the walking dead!



  32. Richard Lewis on April 21, 2021 at 5:49 pm

    I like how creative and playful the process is.



  33. S H on April 21, 2021 at 5:50 pm

    Vegans are disgusting freaks.



  34. Vegan Jeffrey on April 21, 2021 at 5:51 pm

    Vegan🎵 We’re the vegan and we live the life we love, love the life we live, vegan!🎶



  35. E l l a on April 21, 2021 at 5:52 pm

    Hippy vegan chef’ so condescending 😧



  36. Pamela A Saur on April 21, 2021 at 5:52 pm

    Why that obsession with creating “vegan meet”.??!!! The idea of veganism is to say no to animal based food!! Not to copy meat 🤦🏻‍♀️ I found those “vegan” steaks, chicken, etc, just ridiculous!



  37. Anar84 76 on April 21, 2021 at 5:53 pm

    Veganism is a cult.dont get malnourished,eat animals.



  38. Cje on April 21, 2021 at 5:54 pm

    It’s refreshing to have a guy on TV who isn’t an overwhelming personality, that vegan guy who so chill and mature.



  39. Cutequeen on April 21, 2021 at 5:54 pm

    I hate mushrooms
    and my brother is alergic to quorn

    i dont think this will work for everyone



  40. who cares on April 21, 2021 at 5:56 pm

    Eat more veg……..its laden in glysophates from monsanto chemicals. Should be a good rise in cancer due to endocrine disruptors.



  41. alex dalton on April 21, 2021 at 5:56 pm

    Being vegan isn’t a trend



  42. Judith H on April 21, 2021 at 5:57 pm

    Why do vegans go for products that resemble meat? Wake up another agenda of death!



  43. Sashaa on April 21, 2021 at 5:57 pm

    Eating vegetables makes me shit a lot. Eating meat, makes me normal. Vegans do more damage to the environment, shipping their precious fruits and vegetables from all around the world. People never use to eat fruit and vegetables year round. It was primarily animal products. Veganism only came around because of refrigeration. Funny how they try to replicate meat in their recipes.



  44. LacosBig on April 21, 2021 at 5:59 pm

    Snowflakes.



  45. Andy on April 21, 2021 at 5:59 pm

    or to be "healthier"? LOL



  46. Wally Bazoom on April 21, 2021 at 6:00 pm

    Reputation to uphold? Is that the reputation of a barrow boy who enjoys scoffing desserts, or that of a bloke who punches people at his own party to ‘defend’ his girlfriends less than half his age??? What an absolute plank. How this guy stays on tv is beyond me.



  47. Pqrst Zxerty on April 21, 2021 at 6:01 pm

    Veganism – to save money 🤣🤣🤣



  48. Jita'ame suluma on April 21, 2021 at 6:03 pm

    i will never give up meat , i am part native american , we are meat eaters , i gave up before and i missed it



  49. E l l a on April 21, 2021 at 6:03 pm

    💪🏼💪🏼



  50. Victori-ori on April 21, 2021 at 6:03 pm

    I hope that they also do more stuff for replacements for eggs and milk for us vegetarians wanting to go vegan. ❤
