Hi there! If you’re a kid,
and you like tasty food, then this video is for you. [And
really, anyone who likes tasty food.]
[pointing noise]
Hi it’s Emily from Bite Size Vegan and welcome to another vegan nugget. I’m excited to
be making another video for you with my friends, some awesome vegan kids from around the world.
In just a little bit we’re going to hear from them on what their favorite foods or
meals are.
If you don’t know already, being vegan means you don’t eat animals or anything that comes
out of them, like milk, yogurt, eggs, and cheese. Now that may sound kind of boring,
but that’s why I wanted to make this video—to show you how yummy and exciting vegan food can be!
So far in my videos for kids we’ve talked about why we don’t drink milk or eat meat
or eggs, and heard from real vegan kids about why they don’t. And we even talked about how
you can be a superhero for the planet, the people and the animals by being vegan. Basically
when you don’t eat animals, you’re making your body healthy and strong, you’re helping
animals by letting them live free and happy and you’re saving the environment.
(I told you you’re a superhero!)
If you want to check out any of those videos, they will be linked right there and down below so you can watch them later.
Now that you know how amazing being vegan is, it’s kind of important to talk about
what vegans kids eat, right? Well, these days you can make all of your favorite foods vegan
from pizza and cookies, to lasagna, pancakes, burritos, ice cream and even versions of things like scrambled
eggs or fish sticks without the eggs or the fish! And of course all kinds of sweet and juicy
fruits are vegan too!
Now we’re going to hear from some real vegan kids about their favorite foods. In case you
missed their first video, I’ll introduce them again, plus we have two new kids to meet!
There’s Elvis, who’s 3 and a half years old and lives in Hawaii in the United States.
Kevin, who’s 13 and from England and the Philippines, and currently living in Bahrain
Lilah, who’s 8 and Lex who’s 6, both from Massachusetts in the United States.
JoJo, who’s 4 years old, from London, England.
Lexie, who’s 13 from “the South” in the United States.
Ronya, who’s 14 and Oli, who’s 8, both from Waiheke Island in New Zealand.
Dylan, who’s 6 1/2 from Tel Aviv, Israel.
Carolina Ali, who’s 13 and from Tennessee in the United States.
And new this round are Ryan, who’s 4 and James who’s 11, both from Rawtenstall, England
Now let’s hear what their favorite foods are! Just so you know sometimes it may be a little
hard to hear everyone because we were talking from really far away, so you can always turn
on captions and I’ll put text up at the really hard parts. If you can’t read you
can ask an adult for help.
I like avocado and coconut meat, and jackfruit, and durian.
I love my fruits and veggies. You don’t need to eat animals, like us.
You just eat fruits and vegetables!
My favorite food is watermelon, and medjool dates, apples, and potatoes.
Well, my step dad makes a vegan burger. It’s got like, fake bacon. It’s got lettuce.
It’s also got...my mum also makes some prawns, which were really nice, and yes, so that’s
my favorite food.
I like vegan chili.
Dumplings! Dumplings, as long as I have some vegan things in it. And they’re not
fried with meat oil or anything.
The Vegan Zombie’s chicken pot pie is absolutely amazing so I have that pretty
often. It’s really good.
Yeah yeah, I have 3 favorites! Veggie burger, pasta, and hummus.
I don’t know what my favorite dinner is. I have lots of favorite foods. I kind
of like experimenting with stuff and Dad sometimes cooks like, you know, nice dishes that he
experiments with and stuff, so…
Yeah, mangoes.
I really like it when my grandmother makes me vegan um,
leek and potato casserole with biscuits.
When I’m in Asia, fruit, cause here where I live in Bahrain, all the fruit’s
pretty horrible and not sweet. But while I’m here, potatoes, rice and curries, because
curry is amazing.
My favorite food is veggie fingers and...chips! And...vegetarian burgers.
I hope you enjoyed hearing about some tasty vegan food from real vegan kids! If you’re
not vegan I hope hearing what vegan kids eat was helpful and if you are vegan, maybe you
got some new ideas! Not eating animals isn’t just good for your body, the planet, other
people and the animals, but it also tastes really good too!
Now if you live somewhere where you can’t find plant milks and veggie burgers and stuff
like that, I have recipes on the blog post for this video for making your own! I also
have links for those of you in the United States to help you and your family find fresh
fruits and vegetables if you have trouble with that too. You can find that post linked there
and down below. It also has links to loads of tasty kid-friendly vegan recipes.
