People still ask me what a vegan even is. There IS a definition, and I made this video about it to make it easier for eveyone. 

IS STEVIE WONDER VEGAN?

I've always loved Stevie Wonder.

Our Vegan Quote of the day comes from him because he went vegan in 2014 for health and environmental reasons, but I think its in his heart too. He's always bringing positivity into people's lives. He's inspiring!

BE COOL 😎

GO VEGAN  🥑

I always watchin people cooking on YouTube, and I cringe because it looks like half these people are going to cut their damned fingers off. So, I got with Chef Ryan, the number one private chef in Orange County, and we're making some knife videos. 

If we an save just one vegan's finger from getting cut off, I think it'll be worth it. 

This is part one: honing. Most the time, when people cut themselves, it's because their blades aren't aligned properly, and they have to apply more pressure than they normally should, and the knife slides off the product and cuts their sensitive little digits. 

I love the idea of saving vegans from themselves. So here goes!

What are your favorite things to learn on YouTube? What vegan lessons should I make videos about?

🥬My top piece of advice for new vegans is to learn a couple go-to dishes you can always make, so you don’t feel lost. But I notice vegans online lack the knife skills to not hurt themselves. This is a collaboration with the #1 personal chef in Orange County, Chef Ryan Perez from Chefe Productions. He’s agreed to help me show beginners a few tips to keep their own blood out of their food while keeping animal blood out of it, too. Go Vegan!
🔪Most home-use knives don’t need regular sharpening. We only sharpen knives in professional kitchens once a week, but we hone knives every day. If you’re a beginner, learning how to hone your chef’s knife is a great place to start. It will keep you safe and will lengthen the life of your knife as well.

👩‍🍳Chef Ryan and I both favor the 🗡️Victorinox as our workhorse knives https://amzn.to/3BghVJT I use the Victorinox Blade Safe on mine https://amzn.to/3gFBxhi I use the Victorinox sharpener https://amzn.to/3uGW7WB I purposely used a basic honing rod everyone’s mom might have, but this is the one I like https://amzn.to/3uHMh76 👨‍🍳Book Chef Ryan for your next party: https://www.yelp.com/biz/chef%C3%A9-productions-irvine-4 Peep our podcast: https://skyjack23.podbean.com Check out our shop & blog: Http://www.veganofcourse.net Instagram: https://instagram.com/veganofcourseca Twitter: https://twitter.com/skyjackmorgan Animal Liberation: https://amzn.to/3GhYTnG This is Vegan Propaganda: https://amzn.to/3g7bLSJ Hexagon sound dampeners: https://amzn.to/3rYVG7k Shure MV7 Mic: https://amzn.to/3r7SIhy My main camera: https://amzn.to/3gsZKXP

WHAT EXACTLY IS A VEGAN ANYWAY?

I'm excited to share my newest podcast about veganism. It's all about the definition of the word vegan, what exactly is a vegan, anyway?

It touches on the history of the word, but I'm more concerned with getting a couple things straight about what veganism even is before we go any further. 

WHY DO VEGANS HATE DOJA CAT? WHY DOES DOJA CAT HATE VEGANS?

Vegans have good reason to hate on Doja Cat, but she was the one who hated on vegans first. 

Vegans are used to getting shade from the likes of ignorant wretches, but the way she exploits animas for her personal gain is particularly perverse and should be known.

WHAT TO DO AFTER VEGANUARY: NEXT STEPS FOR NEW VEGANS FROM AN OLD VEGAN

HOW TO PREVENT PANDEMICS

Wouldn't it be nice to not have to go through this whole pandemic thing again? 

Let's work together to make sure it doesn't. 

I made a podcast about how going vegan can keep it from happening again or at least keep you safer when it does!

WORST QUESTION FOR NEW VEGANS + ANSWERS

I've answered this question a few different ways over the years. It sure is fun being a vegan sometimes. 

I've decided to build a playlist and make some videos for "new" vegans. This should be a good time.

What Did Your Second Grade Teacher Do to You?

THINGS YOUR 2ND GRADE TEACHER WAS WRONG ABOUT

I swear this is what my 7th grade math teacher looked like.

For years now, I've heard people espouse the teachings of their 2nd grade pedants as if they were indisputable facts. They use these poor women like Republicans use Ayn Rand and Jesus Christ, picking out things they heard years ago to make a point that puts all arguments to rest.

For example: "When I was in 2nd grade, my teacher taught us about life cycles and global warming and cooling cycles; therefore, humans don't cause global warming/climate change."

Yes, the planet has gone through periods of climactic change and even polar change(!), but the rate at which the planet is heating  coincides with the rise of the industrial age, the population of human beings, and the decline of other species and forests.

Another example: "My 2nd grade teacher pointed at her incisors and told us that our canine teeth are for ripping and tearing flesh."

Yes, we can rip a lot with those teeth of ours, but most predators have a whole face of conical teeth, and we only have these little guys. They're mostly for defense like gorilla's teeth. A gorilla can do a lot of damage with their teeth, and so can we, but try biting into a live cow and see how far you get.

He's pretty much vegan.

Here's one I like: "My 2nd grade teacher taught us we were all unique, special, and that our opinions matter."

Yes, we're unique. But you can look around and tell we're not special, there are billions of us. And we're getting to the point where we aren't that unique. There's probably someone out there with your identical DNA, and in an infinite universe, there's definitely someone who has experienced your identical life and is reading this right now. It's a mathematical certainty. Your opinion matters on election day, and that's about it. If your opinion isn't based on fact, experience, and logic, it's invalid.

2nd-grade teachers are not the ones to blame here; they're doing the best they can. My teacher taught me that the brontosaurus was a real dinosaur, that Pluto was a real planet, and Jesus was a real guy watching my every move. She taught me Christopher Columbus was a real hero, that cow's milk was really good for me, and that my artistic talent was really a burden. She didn't know what to do with me; she probably just hoped she wouldn't screw me up too much and I'd figure it out as I got older—that I might evolve.

When you quote something from your 2nd grade teacher, you're saying "I'm tired of evolving. I stopped evolving a long time ago."

I've known people who said they hate other races because it was the way they were raised. You might as well be saying "I will neither learn new things nor grow as a human being."

I say EVOLVE! Take the time to learn about someone and end up loving them. 

And if you want to say something about your 2nd grade teacher, say "she was a nice lady who tried her best with a young mind."

Vegans

I've been vegan for about 13 years now.
I think it's a great thing for the health of the planet and yourself. I also think it's an ethical imperative since animals have the capacity to suffer. You can read this book if you want. Animal Liberation: The Definitive Classic of the Animal Movement

I manage a restaurant that offers a fairly impressive vegan menu.

Sometimes restaurants make mistakes. A guest said that the same mistake was made on her order three times on three separate dates, which sounds very strange. She claims she received real sour cream (instead of vegan sour) on the side of a vegan quesadilla. It makes me think that she might be perceiving our vegan sour to be dairy even though it isn't. But nonetheless, it was to-go order, so I don't have the luxury of finding out if she's right or wrong.

She got online to blast the restaurant on Yelp and Facebook, and here's where I think she hurts vegans. If you go online to blast a restaurant trying to cater to your minority view of the world, it makes restaurant people simply not want to cater to it. If my restaurant ripped the vegan menu out, it wouldn't even be a blip on our bottom line. We do it because it's a growing opportunity and because it's fun and interesting. We think it sets us apart from other restaurants, and we think it's a great way to contribute to a community. Also, some of us are vegans.

And if you blast restaurants making an effort to be part of the vegan community, you're hurting animals. When McDonald's finally gets around to offering something vegan, there will be stinkers like this lady making every executive there throw up their hands and say "fuck this vegan shit, let's just keep doing what we're doing; it isn't worth the trouble."
