Testimonials

Over the years, I’ve received messages from people all over the world who’ve gone vegan because of Bite Size Vegan content and speeches. I’ve heard from everyone from 5-year-olds to 75-year-olds, entire families, and even the most hard-core militant meat-eaters (in at least one case, an adamant hunter!) I will never cease to be amazed by these stories of change.

While my primary intention with Bite Size Vegan was to reach non-vegans, I’ve heard from existing vegans who have—through the content and resources—found the confidence to speak up and take action for the animals. This has increased the impact of my own efforts exponentially, and I’m so grateful to each and every person who has raised their voice.

I just want to say thank you from a UK Momma. After some of my own research I became vegan 18 months ago. I have two children aged 6 and 5, who transitioned not long after me. For the most part they are proud little Vegans; but of course sometimes things crop up, at school or in other environments and it can be difficult explaining things sometimes when I don’t want to expose them to the graphic reality at this age.

I’ve just found your ‘vegan nuggets‘ and we’ve had a really positive reaction from them. They much prefer YouTube over listening to mom anyway. Your videos have just the right amount of info to get them thinking, and asking their own questions without upsetting them so much.

Well done and thank you so much for what you are doing for animals and animal lovers across the world.

Since discovering you some years back, I have been absolutely in awe of your passion and commitment to our precious fellow animal family.

I have found the information you impart through both video and written word to be consistently extremely intelligent, insightful and articulate.

Know that you are held in such high respect by so many who appreciate your hard work and you are teaching every single person who encounters you. Thank you <3

I didn’t think [my daughter] would go vegan…there wasn’t a grand plan – it just happened. However, she had questions and wanted answers. I needed to find someone else to explain it so that if she didn’t connect she would not feel like she was rejecting me and my choices – or feel pressured into joining me.

Emily from Bite Size Vegan came to the rescue with her age-appropriate kids’ videos, explaining why vegans abstain from meat, milk and eggs. She also explains things like the cruelty of wool, fishing and honey.

I sat her down to watch a nine-minute clip about milk . Her response was one of profound sadness for the Mum cows and babies being separated, and her own journey to veganism began. She too made the connection between the animal and the product. As I realised we were going to do this together, I cannot describe the pride I felt at the natural compassion she showed.

Hi Emily, I just wanted to share with you how much you changed my life. About 7 months ago, I came across your Extremism of Veganism speech, which taught me so much.

I had been a vegetarian for 8 years before for ethical reasons, but no one had ever shared the information you did with me and I simply didn’t know any better. Being vegan has been the best thing I have ever done by far—but it has also been the hardest thing to endure. Not because I had to give up pizza or anything. That was super easy. The hard part is living in a world of non-vegans and being surrounded by cruelty constantly.

I still struggle a lot with dealing with this sort of thing. Your other videos about being vegan around non-vegans have been very helpful with that. Anyways, I just needed to thank you for opening my eyes. You have truly changed me for the better.

After school today, Mack watched Bite Size Vegan’s videos for kids. We started with the milk one, which led to the meat one, which led to all of them. I don’t know the exact moment that she decided she wants to try being vegan, but it was somewhere between baby cows being taken away from their mamas and ending world hunger with plants.

Hi there! I’m a vegan Muslim. I appreciate the objectivity maintained throughout your video without jumping to attack religion. (referencing Humane Halal & Kosher Kind | Mercy In Slaughter). I often wondered to myself why veganism wasn’t simply the default law in Islam, seeing how abhorrently animals for slaughter and dairy are treated.

Anyway, I love all your videos and really respect the amount of research you dedicate to producing this highly important topic. I have hope for veganism to enter into the mainstream. Thanks for everything you do!

My journey began nearly three years ago with one of Bite Size Vegan’s Youtube videos. I loved her approach to educating her audience and this long-awaited video provides an understanding of Effective Vegan Activism. (Referencing The Speech How To Speak Non-Vegan | Effective Activism) I, myself, struggled with speaking up for animals without being militant, argumentative, or ineffective at helping others understand my POV.

Emily Moran Barwick has reassured me that the best approach will always be to educate based on facts, as any human will have their guards up in defense, verses their minds open to insight. This speech is a must-watch if you feel you’re not getting through to others.

My eyes have been wider than wide from your activism work and others of like minds. This video (referencing the speech How To Speak Non-Vegan | Effective Activism), gives an excellent frame work on key approaches to getting the point across to those who are sitting on the fence or are just not clear on what it really means to go or be vegan. Thanks for your dedication and being a voice for such a great and important cause. The animals, if they could communicate to us where we would truly understand, would embrace you and express their gratitude.

Thank you again, Emily, for your wonderful work. This video and the title led to me watching your speech, and our little family becoming vegans immediately. (referencing The Extremism Of Veganism | Exposing The Greatest Lie)

Since then, we have continued to spread the word. I’m so very grateful for your dedication and professionalism, and the passion with which you use LOGIC to dismantle the ridiculous conditioning of our minds to accept using animal products. You are my hero.

I know you must get a lot of messages saying that you have helped turn people vegan, but you have done something for me that I couldn’t do for myself. Your videos got through to my husband.

With me, you are (to quote you!) a vegan talking to a vegan about veganism. My better half has always supported my choices but remained resolutely carnist. No matter how many times I showed him what was happening in the meat and dairy industry, he shut his eyes. He buried his head in the sand over the egg industry and refused to even entertain conversation about honey.

But, you got through to him… I asked him to watch your “Open Your Eyes” video. He was shell shocked when it was finished. I then put on “My Final Breakdown and he was more than visibly moved. After that we watched “Europe’s Dark Secret.” Then he had the temerity to shout at me for not telling him about what was going on!!

I am 100% sure that the shouting was at himself for ignoring it for so long. He has accepted my veganism and all that comes with it for a very long time, but I think he had become complacent… When that was finished, he just left the room. I heard a LOT of banging going on in the kitchen and then he darted out of the house. He had, as we all like to say, “made the connection” finally. The animal products were gone. He put them in the bin as he didn’t want anyone else to be consuming the violence and death either.

I am 51 years old and by watching your YouTube videos I became vegan on June 11th 2015. I thank you. I cry a lot because I wish I had the knowledge of this when I was much younger.

I have many health issues, diabetes and obesity are the major ones but even though my health has improved dramatically.

I tell people I became vegan for the sake of the animals. My partner of 15 years is supportive of my transition to becoming a vegan, but she has no intention on becoming a vegan at this point. So including my partner, I live with 5 other meat eaters in our household. :( . It gets lonely at times but I’m never going back.

Once again, thank you and keep sending out the knowledge that you do. You changed my life for the best.

Your work has had such a profound impact on so many human and nonhuman beings around the world. I mean, simply getting the opportunity to express our gratitude was sort of a huge moment for us! We’ll cherish it everyday as we work toward our mutual goal to spread compassion to a world blinded by the blood in it’s eyes.

While there were many great minds and compassionate hearts that were instrumental in our awakening, both from omnivore to vegans and from vegans to activists, your work in particular was among the most powerful, for us.

As we laughed and cried with you from week to week while we’d watch your videos, it became clear to us that we couldn’t just stand by anymore, we had to act. Once we had the truth we knew we began trying to figure out how to make the animals and activism the focus of our lives. I don’t think either of us though[t] we’d grow up to be full time activists, but here we are, happily rearranging our lives to make that happen! All because we woke up… and that’s greatly thanks to your dedication to using your awesome human voice to create change.

Emily, thank you for helping us find truth and the inspiration to really live it. Thank you for helping so many people find their compassion every single day. And thank you for being such a rad, down to earth human being! Never doubt the impact or importance of your work… Du bist ein Held!

My 5 year-old and I just enjoyed watching this. You have a great ability to speak on a child’s level w/o being condescending. :)

Emily,

You have helped me sooo much along my journey. I am an adult with autism(aspergers) and people thought I was just being my normal sensitive self. but with your videos I was able to show them facts.

I also showed people that it wasn’t that hard for me to go vegan even with my routines and sensory issues with food.

Your words and your videos have helped me find my own voice when people question or tease me about being vegan.

you are truly a wonderful person and I thank you so much :) you make me happy dance :)

I just wanna say you do SUCH a good job at speaking to non-vegans in a way that, like you say in this speech, (referencing the speech How To Speak Non-Vegan | Effective Activism) allows them to not feel threatened and not feel you’re attacking them, but also doesn’t absolve them of guilt.

When I first started watching your channel a few years back I was vegetarian, thought vegans were ridiculous, and now, I’m a few months into college and trying my best to eat vegan/buy vegan products and honestly I have you and your videos to thank.

Hi Emiliy, I have been watching your videos for three years now and I just wanted to tell you my appreciation for your work. When I decided to research veganism in order to educate myself and make an informed decision about whether or not to go vegan, I found your videos and they played an important role in my decision to become vegan.

I particularly appreciate the fact that you always use peer reviewed research and cite all of your sources, and I particularly like your Everything Wrong About Environmentalism video.

Three years after I first became vegan, I’m now studying to become an animal behaviour/cognition researcher in order to use science to bring attention to animal sentience, and this decision has also been influenced by your education and science-based approach. Thank you for everything.

Dear Emily, i wanted to show my appreciation because your youtube channel has helped me realize the true extent of my blindness as an animal lover but (former) non-vegan…sometime a month ago, while i was struggling with serious depression i had a very difficult time eating, which rarely ever happens to me as i have a very big appetite. we were sitting at dinner when i was visiting my family, and mom had made a filet (of viel [sic], of all things), as i bit into the meat i suddenly felt revolted by it, something about the texture and bloodyness [sic] of it spoke to me…somehow the idea that i was truly biting into another being’s flesh had not sunk in so dramatically before…since then i have stopped eating meat altogether, i cannot stand it anymore, even the sight of it…i recently stumbled upon your videos! as i watched i got to the video of toronto pig rescue giving water to the pigs going to slaughter…and i absolutely lost it. i broke down crying and i thought i would never stop. at that point i decided to go vegan, it was the only thing that made sense. thanks to you and your calmness in explaining the topic and the way you don�t talk down to anyone… i am absolutely determined to stay on this path, or i wont be able to look at our cat and dog in the eyes again!

Over the past week I’ve been watching your videos on YouTube, approximately five a day. I want to say that you are doing a fantastic job and because of you I officially became vegan today!

I have watched all the documentaries before and even though I was outraged I still felt somewhat disconnected, however watching your videos made it more real and more like a close friend guiding me towards the right path.

Thank you for everything you do.

Hello Emily! I am 12 years old and in the process of becoming vegan. You along with many others have inspired me to make the change. I’ve always loved animals and I’ve been vegetarian in the past but now I understand the cows on your milk cartons aren’t as happy as they seem and the chickens on the egg cartons have the same reality. Thank you so much for making your videos and inspiring others!

Love your sense of humor. Just found your channel recently and I’ve watched quite a few videos.

You’re a lifesaver…not only for humans, but for most importantly, the animals. I have never tried the vegan lifestyle…but after seeing some horrific, evil slaughterhouse and dairy industry videos on the web recently…I can now say I no longer have any interest in supporting them by eating meat of any sort. Being an intense animal lover, the videos you create touch me beyond words. I pray daily that the world will wake up and we humans will pull our heads out of our arses to realize that Vegan is the ONLY way to be. I just wanted to say thank you for working so hard to get this immensely positive and lifesaving message out there! Keep it up, you’re such an inspiration to me and I know so many other awakened people. Here’s to saving the animals and ourselves! Cheers :)

Up until about 8 months ago or so, it was my belief that I could not give up cheese. I hadn’t consumed dairy milk, butter, ice cream, etc., for a long time, but giving up cheese…WOW, that was the biggie. As it turns out, I simply needed to accept and face the fact that the cruelty of the dairy industry was real, and unconscionable. I could not truly love animals and continue to eat cheese; the two concepts could not coexist for me. (and it was BSV that pushed me over the edge, and for that, I am grateful!)

Emily, I just feel you are amazing. Your channel isn’t about your personal life, we just get snippets here and there so we can get to know you and its not about making money for yourself, just enough so you can continue with this work and to survive. You stay out of all the vegan drama and continue to reach people in your own powerful way. Your videos are so intense even when they are non graphic, your drawings and narrations are some of the most touching autobiographies of animals.

Emily, I want to say thank you for EVERYTHING you are doing as an activist for animals!! I watched your speech from Portugal… excellent. I know people left that day forever changed. Please continue to incredible work!!

I also wish to express how awesome your kid videos are. I watched all 3 tonight to check them out before my 7 year old vegetarian son watches them. He is very sensitive to the pain and suffering of animals, so more candid videos can be pretty painful for him. I am so eager to have him watch yours! You brought the perfect balance of fact and age-appropriateness for a child.

When I first considered transitioning to veganism, I had no idea how to do it. All I knew was that I had to cut out meat, dairy, eggs and honey, and that I had to stop wearing fur, silk, leather, wool, cashmere, angora, and suede.

Googling veganism didn’t really help, as there was so much information and I didn’t know what to focus on first.

When I youtubed veganism, Bite Size Vegan came up, and Emily was there being very kind, welcoming and charismatic.

I am very grateful it wasn’t a scary, judgmental video that came up first. She made me want to watch all of her videos, and she justified why dairy and eggs were also cruel, instead of just an arbitrary add-on rule that vegans make.

I’ve learned so much about vegan facts pertaining to tattoos, birth control, and horseback riding. But I digress…

I’m trying to talk about when I first started out as vegan. All I knew was to cut stuff out, and eat what’s left. So obviously that meant eating accidentally vegan junk food like oreos and arrowroot cookies and lays original chips. I mean when you cut out milk, I guess you can buy almond/soy milk, and get used to the taste. But how do you replace meat? I don’t want to eat beans and rice everyday!!!

So I saw her video featuring the chef unhealthyvegan, and it inspired me to look up vegan recipes. Now I can make seitan from scratch, and make a savoury cruelty-free sauce of my own design, and add that to rice or potatoes. My meals have gotten so much easier to design.

It’s easy to be vegan, and that’s the vibe that Emily gives off. Because it’s true!!! And I feel like Emily is a big sister that holds me accountable to continue eating vegan and she holds me up. What I mean is, If I ever miss cheese or hot dogs, I can remember Emily’s videos of animal torture, combined with her thorough research on how humans don’t need the by products of animal torture (animal testing, animal nutrition, etc.).

I can also remember that she is so cool, and if a cool girl is doing can be vegan, then so can I.

Hi Emily…I wanted to thank you from the bottom of my heart. I already appreciated you and your videos before, but now you have this fabulous kids’ series.

I appreciate the time and effort that went into them, and for providing me with good quality videos to show my vegan 5 year old. I also have a vegan 8 month old, and when she is older, I will show her the videos too.

Thank you so much for taking the time to make these videos, which I think is of utmost importance. While it is possible for anyone to change, I really believe that changing the minds and hearts of parents, soon-to-be-parents, or college-aged students is MOST important, as they have the opportunity to bring into this world children, which they can raise to be compassionate, educated vegans.

I hope my children will some day choose veganism for themselves (once I’m not choosing it for them anymore), and your videos will certainly help in the process. So, from my family to yours, from the bottom of our hearts, thank you. Sincerely, Katie, Joel, Lane, and Clara

As I am typing this, I am crying. I want to thank you from the bottom of my heart for every thing you do.

I came across your channel on youtube by reading a random comment from a person (while browsing the comments section) telling people to watch your video on the life of a chicken. I searched for you and when I watched that video, I was literally balling in tears. I ended up binge watching all your other videos and making my husband watch them as well.

Before I found your channel, I was non-vegan turned vegetarian only two weeks prior. I immediately turned vegan. My husband turned vegan as well and now my 10 month old baby boy will be vegan. I want to thank you so much for your videos. Your content is amazing and life changing. I cannot get through a video without crying my eyes out.

I am disgusted, I feel as if I wasted 32 precious years of my life eating the way I was. Both my husband and I have been spreading your channel and veganism to anyone with an ear.

I cannot thank you enough and I appreciate everything you do. You have definitely opened my eyes. The way humans behave literally astonishes me. I hope more and more non-vegans find compassion in this world. I hope this message reaches you.

Again, thank you!, thank you!, thank you! so much for changing the lives of my family and I. I will continue to promote your channel and veganism to everyone (even if they look at me nuts; like some do lol).

A vegan for life, Nina

Thank you so much (or should I say muchas gracias) for the Spanish translation of your e-book!! My b/f (not vegan…yet) is from Guatemala and although he does speak some English, it’s very difficult for me to talk to him in depth about veganism and to answer his questions. You guessed it…my Spanish no es bueno :( But thanks to you, he can read the e-book and gain a better understanding of veganism…and of me! YOU ROCK!! :))

Hi, I just watched your 45 min talk on YouTube(referring to How To Be An Activist) and wanted to tell you how much I admire you and your determination in the face of total incomprehension. I saw you in a different light or more fully after I watched the branding you underwent.

Almost no one goes to the ends of their beliefs. I don’t believe what you did was extremism but the most clear sighted sanity.

I know that I wouldn’t have the courage to do such a thing not because of the pain but because of the judgement. I censor myself because I know how others will perceive me and yet even so my veganism has caused hostility in my family and an embarrassed silence among my friends. I am looking for my own way to raise awareness because at the moment I am feeling internal pressure to act, to not ‘stand by’ thanks for your hard work and humour and just being out there for all the isolated vegans in the world.

Growing up and being involved in Indian Guides as a kid because my great grandfather was Cherokee made for some awkward horse back riding camp out experiences as a young boy. I honestly hated it every time.

I remember one unbelievable Kleidsdale named Red Dust. He was huge and so incredibly gentle and I hated riding him. I just wanted to stand by him and touch him and say hello but you know you gotta do what everyone else is doing or else you are weird.

Well I don’t care anymore about what everyone else is doing or what everyone’s else thinks. I take my son camping now and we look at the horses and we touch the horses and we talk to the horses, but we don’t ride them and he understands why, just like he understands being vegan.

I share these feelings with my son so he doesn’t feel obligated to participate in this type of cruel behavior and he is thankful that I do.

More people need to be brave like you are Emily and the people who’s stories you share with us.

Thank you for giving me the encouragement to do what I think is right and what I feel and know is right. If we continue to raise our children in this way we can change the world and the future and I am one person who is trying to do that. I hope that more people will too.

I really needed to THANK YOU so much for your priceless video on “What Vegans See.” I was in tears and in awe of how eloquent and passionate your speech was.

With the help of your video, I now feel like I might have a way of getting through to some dear friends and family in my life. I’ve seen you mention that it took you a long time to get to the point of being comfortable enough to be a digital activist. It must be hard sometimes to put yourself out there. However, what you bring to the Vegan community is invaluable!

Your knowledge and passion is beautiful. You do make an impact and I thank you from the bottom of my Vegan heart.

I used to hunt, fishing, trapped and even butchered my own livestock. You definitely had your work cut out for you.

One of the most important things that you taught me was that animals valued their life too and I was ready to listen. I now have 18 months as a vegan.

Hello Emily! I just wanted to let you know that I referred back to your videos about how to be an activist today because I am speaking in front of a group of “vegan curious” individuals at a local bookstore this weekend. This is my first time doing this in front of a group.

I have shared my “vegan journey” to people one on one when I have been asked. My assistant became vegan this past March as a result so yay me!!!! I convinced ONE!

Hi, As someone who spent their childhood riding and has recently become vegan this video is so interesting for me.

Seriously thank you for this, it really summed up everything. When someone first asked me about it, I realized I had never really thought about the effect it was having on the horses I was riding and also whether they really enjoyed it.

Obviously I always made sure they were as happy as possible but I now realize they would have been much happier with me at the side of them rather than on top. I’ve always wanted to adopt a horse anyway and now i know that if i do it will be defiantly as a companion not as a ridden horse.

Anyway thank you for this video it was really informative and to the point–keep making great vids! Xox

I used to think there was no real urgency to becoming vegan and that so long as I was vegetarian I was at least doing something (in comparison to people who eat meat) but your videos have completely changed my perspective.

I couldn’t watch the video without interruptions. I got up and walked around in my room every two or three minutes. It’s so sad that many people (including people who claim to love animals) don’t really acknowledge that fish too deserve to live a happy life without pain and suffering.

Why? Because they can’t scream? I’ve heard a lot of people say “Well, I don’t eat meat but it’s okay to eat fish”. It just makes me angry and sad.

Keep up the good work and thanks again for this awesome video.

I have no delusions about the prospect of defeating evil in the world but at least now I know I’m not alone in the war. I’m honoured to be on the same side with a person of your stalwart dedication, honesty and endurance. That, in itself, is victory of a kind.

Let’s prove Albert Kaplan wrong. Let’s show him that there is hope

My dear friend, as a Jew and a vegan I am DEEPLY moved by this video and am so very grateful for this and all the other GREAT videos you produce.

I just had to say thank you for all your amazing videos! The work your putting in is paying off I am now vegan and you had a large part to play in that.

Also I would like to say that every time I show your videos to a non vegan they truly appreciate them, I can see the seed being planted the questions being raised in their minds, they may not turn vegan tomorrow but I know they are starting to eat more consciously.

In summary, you’re an absolute star! When I watched the video about animals grieving this morning I knew I had to join the army and help you fight the good fight!

Love too oobey too :)

I’ve been watching your videos for about a year now and I can’t express my gratitude to you enough.

You have been my mentor (via. YouTube) for not just veganism but compassionate living. I’ve been vegan this past year and I’ve been vegetarian for 3 and a half years but of course never made the connection until your videos, which also led me to watch Gary Yourofsky and become hooked on No Meat Athlete (I’m using his half marathon plan now and am running my first one this September!).

Thank you for what you are doing, you make veganism loving and approachable, you made me believe I could change and learn the ropes. While I have been vegan since the beginning of the year, I met my first ever vegan face to face last week. It had been a long time alone trying to tell people why I wasn’t eating my used to be favourite food -yogurt, but I felt like I was part of a community on social media, and your videos are such a central part of that for me.

I will definitely be a regular sponsor, please keep doing what you are doing. Thank you!

I want to thank you for changing my life. After watching “This Speech Will Change How You See Everything,” I made the vow to go vegan.

About 1 month ago, I saw a post of yours on facebook. I clicked the link and watched “This Speech Will Change How You See Everything.” And it did. I made a vow and a lifestyle choice to become vegan. And I haven’t and will never look back. My current boyfriend is very supportive of me. It feels very rewarding to know that with each conscious bite I take, no animals are harmed. I plan on becoming more active as a vegan advocate. I’m educating myself more day by day. And enjoying cooking for myself again!

Thank you so much for your videos. Your website is an easy, convenient source of information that everyone should know about. Unfortunately we don’t live in a world were this very important information is something that the media wants people to know about, so it becomes a difficult job to compile all of the statistics and evidence. Most people don’t really care enough to do that so they remain in the dark. but thanks to your hard work I am certain many people have become informed and will now act accordingly with the information. And not to mention that they are also entertaining videos (with the exception of the discussion of animal cruelty horrors) Bitesizevegan videos are the most effective and convincing videos regarding why veganism is something that everyone needs to engage in, that I have come across.

Hi Emily, I really just wanted to email you to say Thank you! I went vegan last year in October, the person who planted the seed in my mind was my younger cousin, she is only 16 and has been vegan for almost two years now, I think she’s awesome and wish I had a clue what was going on back then lol. I always had the thought in the back of my head that there is something that happens to these animals that we eat.. And hearing what information my cousin shared caused me to look deeper into what actually goes on.. I had no idea I was going to become vegan, had no plans to.. But that night I knew I was now vegan.. My cousin was so happy lol. So where you come in is I found your videos of bite size knowledge and have been following you ever since. You make things so clear (with loads of info, sometimes I feel like watching it twice just to remember all the facts!), and you have truly helped me so so much during my journey. I work in a restaurant (unfortunately, but studying to become a personal trainer with a diploma of business to set up my own vegan shop as there is none where I am) and have experienced so much anger towards everyone for being ignorant and expecting their steaks to be just freaking perfect, as well as adjusting with all that I had learnt and dealing with my family etc I was having such a hard time dealing with my feelings, still do sometimes, and having your videos is a kind of release. … Thank you, you’re awesome. I want to help you with your cause and will set up a donation :) Cheers.

THANK YOU, not just for finally, and instantly, causing me to quit smoking, but also a giant THANK YOU for your tireless work for the animals.

Yet, she still outdid herself with this 23-minute video on THE HISTORY of vegetarianism, veganism and animal rights: Vegans In Ancient Times | The History of Veganism Part One IT IS A MUST WATCH.

If I was a non-vegan watching these videos I wouldn’t have felt targeted, mocked or like I was watching a humourless cult.

I would have thought that here were people who for sound reasons were not wanting to harm animals. And if I was a non-vegan but considering adopting a vegan lifestyle, I wouldn’t be facing a life of only tofu and kale.

What a fantastic series of videos you made to support people during the holiday season. Great amount of work and it really shows. I hope you have found some time off for yourself and Ooby to relax as well.

I recently became a vegan. I read your post because I am taking a Vitamin D supplement which contains gelatin.

I just wanted to thank you in two ways. Firstly, after looking for different sources online I think I can safely call you the most well-researched vegan activist out there who provides the best information (you are up there with Gary). You really have established yourself and although I am always looking for new information I think I can truly say you are an authority in terms of vegan answers. Your post made me very emotional in your analogy about oxygen mask.

The second thing I wanted to do was very much thank you. Just going to your website makes me feel happy and better and is a reminder that veganism is a philosophy of love and compassion. I thank you for everything.

Anyway thank you for what you do, you are one of the true vegan activist alive.

I wish I had seen your videos and slaughterhouse videos earlier.

I cut back on meat and dairy in 2008 after watching An Inconvenient Truth but for environmental reasons.

My eldest is now 8 years old and she is as passionate as I am about the animals thanks to Emily. She has seen some slaughterhouse videos now as she walked in on me watching one of the videos that contained clips. She was horrified that they were hurting animals but she had already realised that chicken came from chicken she didn’t want to eat meat any more which brought me to Emily’ enlightening videos.

My one wish is I didn’t find out the truth earlier. So it depends on the child and not the age. Explaining the truth worked for the 4 year old twins, without any images or anything; as children have an empathy for their animal friends that we as adults loose or brainwashed out of us.

We shouldn’t have to expose children to slaughter/abuse footage. The truth will work better on an inquisitive and empathic mind. So again thank Emily for changing lives.

I’ve been struggling for some time to articulate the reasons why humans are no different from any other species of animal, save for the obvious differences in physical structure and method of communications. The way you have presented the issue in such an organized, thorough, logical, and complete way showed me how weak and inadequate my arguments were, despite years of study and research.

Unfortunately, the video (referring to Sex With Animals The Blurred Lines Of Bestiality) also showed me how unaware I have been to the extent of the hideous torture and abuses humans perpetrate on animals. I thought I was championing them by being in rescue and spreading awareness about animal abuse, but this is beyond anything I could have imagined in my worst nightmares. I’ve seen some unspeakable abuse over the years, but this information shocked me as nothing has ever done in my life. There are no words, frankly, to describe this. You are incredibly brave and have a gift for articulating the heart of the matter in a way that could not fail to reach anyone with a soul.

Thank you for having the courage to stand up for our fellow living beings. I want to pledge to support your efforts any way I can.

Hi Emily,

Just saw your video on YouTube and it’s changed the course of my Life. I am a lifelong vegan now and supporter of your work. Thank you.

I tried to view the video that was blocked by YouTube (referring to The Extremism Of Veganism), but even after logging in and verifying my age, it still did not allow me access. Can you please forward on the video as I want to see the Truth.

What you are doing is so inspiring. Veganism is the obvious choice. Your ‘neutral’ and rational tone of voice really help to drive the message home. The Truth is glaringly obvious now – it’s crazy how perverse this lie is and how it’s become part of every culture across the globe. I’m gobsmacked.

I had to watch it again (referring to Vegan Wake Up Call). It is one of your best. I would be lost to understand how anyone could argue the logic you offer for becoming vegan.

Message sent, message received.

We all can do more than just point at others. We have to do serious inside developing. Veganism is here. It was here, even before this Old man was born. And it isn’t going away after I’m gone, as long as there are activist like you. And I think, because of you, there will be many to come. I have been reaching out more and more to people I know and do not know; not about how good vegan food is (it really is and healthy) but about how we must view the world from the eyes Of animals.

I want people I talk with, to feel the pain and suffering, of animals, as if it was their own.

Emily, I learn alot from you and I never want to stop. The importance of our cause is not our accomplishments, but the accomplishment of animals never being treated as mere objects that lack any value. To be put to use for our entertainment, fashion or food.

How selfish we humans have been to not see how much an animal values it’s life as much as we do. Thank you and Gary and Baxter, my sweet pup that died, so young at two years old. It was his death that started me thinking about animals. How unique they are, as humans are. I could never look at meat again. When I did, I saw Baxter. His death broke my heart, but opened my eyes. It’s for him, and all the animals ofthe world, that I will never stop trying to love people to become vegan.

Let’s all keep planting seeds with the same love and compassion we want animals to be given.

God bless you, Emily, you gotta stay strong. You such tremendous inspiration to so many people, you have no idea. It’s damn tough being a vegan in a non-vegan world. It is hard staying dedicated and motivated to be an activist, under the tremendous pressure and heartbreaker of those we advocate for. We’re far from it, but it feels like we’re carrying their cross, aware and overwhelmed of the monstrosity of the details and of the numbers.

Your speech in Britain (referring to Vegan Wake Up Call) came at a time I was struggling as an emerging vegan activist, overwhelmed by my impotence to communicate as to bring change, and by the constant negative resistance of non vegans, starting with my own family. I came to the same conclusion as you, at the same time. Bridging the “us” and “them” is the only way to stay sane and be efficient at the same time.

I saw you at Dublin Vegfest (referring to The Best We Have To Offer) with my then boyfriend who went vegan straight after your speech even though he was a huge meathead before! You have such a beautiful soul, keep being amazing and strong for the animals

I honestly brought him along just for the company, no ulterior vegan motives, didn’t think he would even come to the talks, but after listening to you he was really bummed out and asked me “what am I gonna eat now??” so I got him a vegan burrito and went grocery shopping for him and promised him I would walk him through it with baby steps, & he is doing really well! He’s already holding his own in arguments with omnis!

Emily, it’s so great you’re showing actual photos from Ireland’s own farms. (referring to The Best We Have To Offer)

Now maybe this will cut down on the denial that “Oh, but that doesn’t happen HERE.” And when people celebrate those “victories” of welfarist laws (like the tethering of pigs), they don’t realize that the perpetrators have at least 10 YEARS to get around to implementing them and that there are tons of loopholes and exceptions to get out of them, as you said.

You have done excellent research here!

Great speech! (referring to The Best We Have To Offer)

The part about the conditions of pigs reminds me of Esther the Wonder Pig. If anyone doesn”t believe animals have emotions and are intelligent, watch Esther. She will prove you wrong!

As a Christian, I believe harming animals is wrong, especially with all the alternatives of food choices. Also, remember the commandment of “thou shalt not kill.

Keep up the good work, Emily.’

Very articulate speech spoken with much truth and conviction!(referring to The Extremism Of Veganism) I am only 3 mos vegan & I’ll say I get more gasps & defensive head shaking from people than ever before in my life. I don’t try to convince a soul to convert to veganism, but to mention the word vegan or that I am meat/dairy free, has people immediately attacking my choices.

It’s crazy to me that simply because I eat differently I’m “extreme” or assumably nutritionally deficient automatically. My favorite one is how can you NOT EAT MEAT?!!! I could never…well, I didn’t ask you to!!! nor did I ask for you to try to force your dietary preferences down my throat. no punt intended.

Trying to educate them on the benefits of my choice to change my eating habits, after I have numerous questions thrown at me, yields nothing more than an argument I choose not to take part in.

I simply let them go about eating what makes them feel comfortable. The hardest part in going vegan is the constant and persitant opposition, not the lifestyle change itself.

Thank you for your diligence on educating the masses & I pray your impact is an abundant one!!

You’re beautiful inside and out!

Its crazy how scared I was to speak about how I truly feel. but this video has truly helped me. Now I want to help make this video go viral and I want to thank you.

Thanks for this amazing video, (referring to The Extremism Of Veganism) Emily. You did a great job of concisely explaining a complex, emotionally-charged topic.

I was a vegetarian for many years, though I didn’t consume much eggs or dairy. The last couple of years I felt like I was in a weird netherworld in between being vegan and vegetarian, and a couple of months ago I decided that I needed to transition to a totally vegan diet.

In a lot of ways, it’s been easier than I expected. Temptations still arise occasionally, though, so I will try to remember your video at those times. Aside from the health benefits of a vegan diet, when I eat vegan I feel happier and more satisfied because my food is completely aligned with my values.

This (Referring To ) broke me to pieces. Pork was my favorite kind of meat, but after watching this I can never eat it again and I’m disgusted with myself for ever eating it.

This is my first viewing of one of BSV’s videos. As an activist, I know from my own painful (and isolating) attempts at trying to get people to see my way of thinking that I had to stop trying to “convert” anyone else to my own belief system. I had to give up proselytizing to people unwilling to listen – and understand something — who am I to say when someone else should be “ready” to embrace my way of thinking, if ever? Unfortunately, the reason people think activists are “hitler” are because we, in our passion, can come off rigid and self-righteous – and put people off. Sadly, no one wants to hear the ugly truth unless they willingly ask for it. I have lost a lot of potential audience in my over-the-top passion on the the importance (as I see it) of protecting all life, both plant and animal life and getting preachy.

Timing, Content, Delivery of the Message – all important. But I like how this speaker addresses Motive – the most important “bottom line” of why we are called to educate people; and the importance of backing up our education by making sure our sources are factual and accurate. Thank you for your work, BSV. Show less

The issue of veganism and abortion was one that I was curious about, googled, and came across your article. (referring to Is Abortion Vegan The Pro-Choice Dilemma)

Yesterday evening, I also went to see Emily from Bite Size Vegan’s talk about veganism and animal activism. (referring to Vegan Wake Up Call)

Listening to her really cemented for me something that I had thought about earlier. As vegans, we can often possess the same quality as non-vegans in that we still turn away from what these animals are going through. The least we can do is recognise their struggle.

I have never believed in the huge importance of bearing witness more than after everything that I had experienced today.

I watched your videos and became a vegan. You changed my life. Thank you! I just thought I’d take a shot at thanking you, as personally as I can, for being the catalyst in my decision to go vegan, which I made recently after about 5 years of being a vegetarian. I have been at it for only a few months, but I am more sure of this than I have been of anything else in my life: I will never, ever, ever eat meat, eggs or dairy again as long as I live. I will also stop spending my money on household products, clothes, cosmetics and all other things that I know contain animal products or have been tested on animals. And I will try to be a shining example of a healthy, joyful vegan, every day. Thank you for opening my eyes. Thank you for being the brave, intelligent and beautiful person that you are. Thank you!!

Hey Emily!! Through your talks and other vegans, I am on my last steps to becoming fully vegan. (only some chocolate occasionally, and i know the importance of transitioning slowly for my all or nothing personality). But just as importantly the education you and Gary and others provide has been the main reason my meat eating boyfriend (he ate meat with every meal) has been meat free for the last two months AND his goal is to be vegan by the end of the year. I came home the other day to see him on the couch with YOUR voice coming out of his laptop. He had watched all of your videos in one day. At first he was so resistant to change…….but if you enlighten people a little, light a small fire it spreads, they suddenly have the urge to educate themselves. And your videos are PERFECT for newbies. The perfect mix of complex science and sometimes horrific truths but not overwhelming, due to your heartfelt delivery, witty personality and the size of the videos. Emily, if my boyfriend went vegetarian in Spain (a meal is not a meal without some form of flesh covered in olive oil) then there is MASSIVE hope!! So, my point is Thank You!! You are amazing but Don’t burn out because you will be of No use then. Xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx

You have one of the best vegan activism channels out there, but while the focus on cruelty is your passion, it is great that you diversify the channel. I think a multifaceted approach to veganism is the most powerful, so the cruelty matters, but so does the environment, so does health and videos like this where you destroy all those anti-vegan myths are amazing. There are so many topics that most vegan channels won’t cover, someone has to do it.

Anyone who has never tried to make a cool detailed video, like all of yours, couldn’t never understand or appreciated how much work you put into these video, and I am only referring to the actual video creation, edits, and cinematography… Never mind, all the work and research that you do to find and back your data in all the videos… Emily, you are one of the best people in the animal liberation movement, please know I am a huge fan and supporter, keep up the good fight!

Emily, Thank you for being the major contributor to my going vegan! I can’t tell you how much your work has meant to me. About a year ago I decided to go plant based for health reasons. I felt good about my decision but struggled to make healthy choices, especially around others (I personally do not know anyone who is vegan).

I recently found your YouTube channel and was made acutely aware of the horrors of animal agriculture. I really had no clue about the suffering and misery I was contributing to each and every day. It was at that point that it was no longer a “decision” to go plant based/vegan. It was as if a light was suddenly switched on. Emily you helped me to make the connection. Now I wonder how anyone could possibly contribute to the suffering and slaughter of these beautiful innocent beings? The harsh reality of what these animals go through weighs heavily on my mind each and everyday.

Sometimes I feel so powerless in a world that just doesn’t seem to care. I feel like my going vegan is not enough. I am exploring how I can reach others; activism is on the horizon. Emily, your work gives me hope and this video is such an amazing example of what one person can do.

Dear Emily, I have watched many Vegan documentaries-been reading many books and I can honestly tell you that nothing touched my heart as much as this Video did. I cried-which I did not do with any other documentary. I knew it was atrocious what we do to the animals-and I have been 50% plant based, but always seem to go back to eating meat. Not after today-I will start making myself meal plans-prepare better I can no longer support this, not even a little bit. I have to do this for the right reasons the animals, instead of selfish reasons my health (I believe that’s why I haven’t stuck to it up until now) Thank you so much!!!

You inspire awe. I went vegan in July of 2015. It was Youtube activism like yours that undid the lifetime of brainwashing allowing me to live in such cognitive dissonance. A few months later, my boyfriend went vegan after hearing me clamber on about how great it was making me feel.

Sometime in the winter I found your channel and have been a subscriber ever since. You have deepened my connection with vegan ethics and opened my eyes to facets of veganism I did not even know existed. You’ve made me cry! You’ve made me cheer and yell in indignation. And most importantly you’ve slowly built my confidence to find my own vegan activist voice. For that, I can’t thank you enough! Becoming your patron is the least I can do for you, for the animals and anyone who may listen to your message and better their quality of life because of it.

I am new to the vegan lifestyle, so new that it hasn’t even been a month yet, it’s only been 9 days (so since Halloween).

Prior to making the full change (or awakening), I was what I guess you could call a flexitarian for the past 2 years.

I discovered Bite Size Vegan’s Youtube channel on Halloween night and watched 2 of her videos (“Everything Wrong with Environmentalism in 11 Minutes or Less” and “Open Your Eyes“) and by watching and listening to her and the footage she’d used, I finally switched from a flexitarian lifestyle to an actual vegan one.

It was the push that I needed, and I cannot say how grateful I am.

This perfect truthbomb of a video, (referring to Everything Wrong With Environmentalism) along with Open Your Eyes, is what made me go vegan.

I often have to quote your research. It has humbled me greatly as I was convinced that everything I was doing – the typical short showers, not letting the water run while brushing my teeth, religiously separating recyclable materials from trash and so on – was having this huge impact.

Who I was eating along with what came out of their bodies had a much greater impact and I was anything but aware of it, even though I was not comfortable with putting it in my mouth, but was still numbed to the truth of them not being things for us to use.

I wish to thank you once again for all of your hard work, it does not go unnoticed.

Emily, I’ve been vegan since August 2015 and your videos have definitely helped me to change my habits, and they’ve given me the knowledge to provide factual arguments against the typical ‘anti-vegan’ questions. Your videos have helped me put a few people off of eggs, which is better than nothing!

Anyways, you have provided me with so much good information in a wonderful, easy to follow format. I truly cannot thank you enough! Keep doing what you’re doing and I fully support and love all the things you do.

This 68-year-old grandma is thrilled to see an intelligent young woman of obvious compassion speak so eloquently about the many dimensions of sentient experience. Emily has brilliantly illustrated the difficulty in living a compassionate life. Once truly embarking on a life that rejects cruelty to one segment of life, it becomes natural to open one’s heart to all that suffer, and to desire dignity and equality among all that live. Veganism is a darn good focus.

– Jane , via BiteSizeVegan.org

Before I started watching your videos I always used to lie to people about being Vegan. I only told people if I really had to, of course not because I was ashamed, but because I found some people would become confrontational and ask me lots of stupid questions and I used to feel very anxious and angry about the situation. But you and your amazing videos have taught me so much and made me see that animals deserve to be spoken up for no mater what! I now feel like I have an answer to all the questions about vegetarianism thanks to you and I am confident enough to challenge anyone – so thank you so much :)

Hi Emily! I just want to drop you a message and say that I’ve just recently (a few minutes ago, to be more precise) discovered your YouTube channel when one of my group members in Manila Vegans shared your video called What vegans see. to our Facebook group.

I would like to take this few minutes to tell you that your video was very powerful and after subscribing to your channel, I realized your channel is ABSOLUTELY something that I need in my life —

Your videos are very powerful and empowering to us fellow vegans who have given up trying to convert other people.

With this, I say, THANK YOU VERY MUCH! You have inspired me not to give up, you have inspired me to keep on trying and to be strong.

THANK YOU! And definitely more, more power to YOU!

I watch all your videos, and show everyone I know them! I showed my friend your video about wool. And he was so surprised with what you said and showed.

I watch your videos and just think, what a passionate, smart, kind human being you are. I learn ALOT from your videos, and always post them around and tell other vegans about you, and tell them you are an amazing activist to get behind and support. I tell ya though…One video I LITERALLY, no matter how many times I watch it, cannot stop laughing at! Is your sh*t people say to vegans. OMG I have that saved on my phone, that is GENIUS!

Thank you!

You’ve done great work with the more obscure topics (bees, pets, wool, etc). It seems like we’re always looking for the exception to enslave an animal. Despite being vegan, I wear wool athletic clothes. You’ve made me reconsider that and I no longer buy wool. I never even considered that riding a horse was bad for the horse as long as it was done carefully and lovingly; but you’re making me reconsider that too. Thank you for your efforts on educating even the educated.

Honey has been one item hard for me to give up. (even though I rarely have it, am talking 1 or 2 times a month.) But after watching your video on honey and how well you presented it. I am ready to give up honey from this day forth. Thank you.

Just to comment on your ‘why do you need to do all this?’ I think that I would be remiss if I didn’t mention that your method is the most effective and entertaining way to talk about this issue. There are people who are ‘you tubers’ who sit and ramble in front of their computers for ten to fifteen minutes, who are just as effective but well rather boring.

I don’t think anyone is putting out as great a product as you are at this current time. It makes you great, and really makes it worth signing up to support because when you do eventually start doing your travelling roadshow (I have no doubt that you will), I feel like you’re going to have a great impact.

Nobody puts as much into their channel as you do.

– Amy McRobert , via YouTube

Emily, this video (referring to The Freelee & Gary Yourofsky Controversy: Death To Non-Vegans & Human Hating?) was not only funny and well-produced, but also very insightful.

The message is simple: support and recognize anyone who promotes, protects, and preserves veganism and animal rights.

Like anything/anyone else in this world, there are countless variants and expressions used to reach one’s goal. There is no one-size fits all, and everyone needs to find something that works for them. If you can’t find it, then make a new way yourself! Anything is possible if we care enough.

As a genderqueer vegan chef and who’s traveled 1000s of miles from home to home, I know a thing or two about reinvention. PS, your bod is bitchin. But, you know what, your message and candor are so heartfelt, pure, and simple that I was “distracted” by your thoughts and words :)

Keep doing what you’re doing and many, many blessings to you and your passion!

Hey Emily! I found your channel within a week of becoming vegan and it was a stroke of luck. Your videos have helped me defend my point of view with my friends and family, as well as gave me the motivation and remind me why I’m doing what I’m doing. I have been an imperfect and rather clumsy vegan (accidentally buying reduced fat oreos, unintentionally eating gelatin and accidentally killing a lizard (then crying and holding a funeral for him)) but thanks to you, I was able to move past that and focus on what matters and that’s the animals. I seriously can’t thank you enough.

The animals are so lucky to have you on their side, Emily. You never cease to amaze me with how powerfully you are able to convey the message in every one of your videos. You are such a force to be reckoned with.

I wanted to say thank you for your videos. I’ve been on and off the vegan lifestyle, mainly due to my sister’s influence and feeling embarrassed and weird for others knowing that I’m vegan.

It wasn’t until after I watched your videos and Gary Yourofsky’s updated speech and moving back to my parent’s house that I was convinced I could not eat a single animal-based product ever again and to never feel embarrassed for being vegan.

I thank you and Gary for making me a lifelong vegan that’s stronger.

I just wanted to thank you for all that you do. You have helped solidify my vegan convictions and have even helped me educate my boyfriend, and now he’s plowing through life like a rhino, making better choices every day!

I also wanted to tell you how much I enjoy your wonderful posts! They are intelligent, easy to grasp and I adore your enthusiasm to educate people! The practical and calm demeanor you exude is admirable. Please, keep doing what your doing, and know that you make a difference in so many people’s lives.

Hi Emily, I’ve only come across your YouTube channel this week and I wanted to say what a truly beautiful person you are. Ever since I was little, I’ve been passionate about animal rights and welfare. One of my earliest memories was from when I was about 3 – I cried for hours after my mum laughed at and called a turkey at a farm ugly – I actually made her apologise to the turkey. I also remember kicking and screaming at the TV whilst watching a programme about hunting. I’ve always felt very alone in my feelings of anger and sadness at how humans treat animals in this world. That is until I came across Gary Yourofsky and recently you! I want to say thank you for the amazing work that you do, you’re very inspiring. I cried for ages when you showed your tattoos of the pig and the cow with ear tags. It was incredibly moving. I’ve always felt powerless. I got fed up with people talking me down and telling me how ridiculous my beliefs were, so much so that I just gave up and started eating meat during my early twenties. Although I turned vegan again a few months ago. The inspiration I’ve gained from you and Gary has helped me to feel less powerless, and I want to start making some sort of difference here in the UK. I’m signing up to do an Animal Welfare course soon, so fingers crossed! Much love to you and Ooby…

– Katrine Saliba , via Email

Wow. I have never messaged a YouTube maker before. But I had to message you. You based on really science have made me truly reconsider the dietary choices I have assumed all my life. On nothing more then science. You go girl….

– Mary cw , via Email

THANK YOU for doing what you are doing!! I found your youtube channel about a month ago. I got a bit tired of some other vegan channels that instead of real content were more and more often just delivering finger pointing and hatred and real low class pointless personal stuff.

I’m so happy to have “met” you that day on youtube.

I love your sense of humour. I think it is truly unique and precious how you manage to deliver value in your nuggets, backed up by long hours of research, all in a fun, honest, intelligent and empathic way.

I think this is very very rare and I just wanted to thank you for your hard work and for being such a wonderful, pure hearted, talented, selfless and brave individual! Your nuggets give me a lot of motivation and it feels SO good to have a good laugh at your great sense of humor embedded in the videos. and of course, I learn a lot too. I particularly enjoyed that nugget about environmentalism. What I learn from you helps me as well to be less emotional and more factual when talking about people who approach me about my lifestyle. also, when I feel a bit down and lose focus, your videos help me remember why I’m doing this whole vegan thing. :-)

So, Emily, thank you so much for being who you are and sharing it. your Light (not to mention Ooby’s radiance ;-) ) ignites many other lights and by doing what you do the goodness and healing will keep on spreading in this world. with much love and gratitude,

Emily, Bite Size Vegan has helped me learn a lot about being vegan (like about honey, wool, animal testing, horse-riding, the environment), and I am so grateful for you and your approach of making short, info-packed videos on important, interesting topics. Your channel is very educational and it’s clear that you research a ton to give us the info with the most bite ;). I believe it’s safe to say that it will be a long-term resource for me .

I want to begin by telling you that I am now vegan (and have been for 1 month and a half) because of you, and there are not enough kind words in this world for me to use in order to properly thank you! By watching your videos, I received the guidance of a peaceful and understanding mentor, one that did not judge and one that I felt was safe and pure, in the sense that not for one second was I under the impression that you were anything else but a voice for the victims. Your approach is brilliant. In your videos, you’re not trying to shame people for eating meat, though you are one of the most passionate people I’ve seen, and you’re not making it about weight loss, even though we all know it would attract way more people, since there’s this craze happening right now, and everyone is just obsessed with losing weight. In my opinion, yours is the only relevant point out there: “Does Mrs. Cow care about the way my thighs look? No.” That video was hilarious, but it was also the one that hit home for me, and it hit home so hard that it made me fall in love with you and your compassionate, no BS way of thinking… The resources on your site were really useful, and I can’t thank you enough for them! I admire you, I look up to you, and I wish you the best!

– Irina Jelea , via Email

I just wanted to say that I discovered your YouTube channel a few weeks ago when I decided to make the switch from vegetarian to vegan (as I am a huge animal-lover), and have been binge- watching your videos since!

It’s so informative and helpful, easy to understand and accurate without being controversial or aggressive. Which is all really great for spreading the message to others and giving answers to all the non-vegans when they ask the typical stupid questions!

All I want to say is thank you, for educating me about the lifestyle and ethics behind it with a sense of humor too! I love watching the videos of yours and Gary Yourofsky’s to keep me motivated, informed and reinforce why it’s so important to continue living vegan!

I love your tattoos! I love animal tattoos, and when I’m getting my next one soon I will be sure to check if everything used is vegan, as I had never heard of ink etc containing animal products.

Thanks again and keep being awesome! Love from the UK,

I just wanted to say thank you for all the effort you put into your videos and material. I really appreciate how much research and planning goes into them and how calm and focused you are.

When I first discovered your videos I wasn’t vegan and your videos are definitely part of why I changed my mind about it.

You lay out the facts clearly and while you challenge certain “normal” ideas, I find that you’re not abrasive and annoying like some other vegan activists. Your videos are very useful as a resource for information and advice but I also always feel so much more motivated when I watch them.

Thank you and keep doing what you do best!!

My dearest plant-based love,

Emily, you beautiful, beautiful soul. My boyfriend and I are both vegan and found your videos about a week ago. We’ve watched every video and can’t get enough. You have inspired us to become better vegans (if that makes sense).

You have inspired us so much with your demonstrations, and your extremely conscious thinking.

Your video on “What if the world went vegan tomorrow” made me cry. Towards the end, it seemed like you were choking up, and I died inside and started bawling.

You make the horrors of the meat and dairy industries so much more real for me and my boyfriend. You have educated us so much.

Keep doing what you do because you are incredible and are making so much happen.

Thank you so much for this video on honey.

I went vegan in January, though I have to admit I didn’t really agree with the vegan stance on honey. I still occasionally drank honey in my tea, though I didn’t buy any NEW honey after I went vegan and began replacing honey with other sweeteners (like maple syrup, stevia and coconut sugar). The “It’s bee vomit!” argument didn’t sway me, nor did the “bees are slaves and being exploited!” argument, as I just didn’t see insects in the same way I see animals.

Thanks for the wealth of information you shared here on the environmental importance of bees as compared to humans, their intelligence, the negative health impact of honey on humans and how bees are treated were quite powerful arguments that I can’t really turn my back on. No more honey for me!

I just have to say that I really appreciate your channel, I’ve been through so many vegan YouTubers and you are the first I feel like I can fully get behind. You’re obviously very passionate about spreading the vegan message, but at the same time you maintain a level head about things and use reason and evidence to make your case. Not to mention that you don’t ramble and you respond to pretty much every comment. I love your videos and will continue to recommend them to anyone interested in veganism. Your channel really deserves more attention than it’s getting, people just need to hear about it.

Emily’s videos helped me so much when trying to educate my family on why they should eat vegan, she has all the facts and presents them in a non-judgmental way.
