Hi there! If you’re a kid

and you’d rather
listen to other kids than boring adults like

me, then this video is for you.

Hi it’s Emily from Bite Size Vegan and welcome
to another vegan nugget. I’m so excited

to be making another video just for you! And
I’m even more exited to introduce you to

my friends: some awesome real vegan kids!

If you don’t already know, being “vegan”
means you don’t eat animals or anything

that they make. If you want to know why anyone
would want to be vegan, check out my videos

for kids so far. We’ve talked about why
we don’t drink milk or eat meat, or eggs.

You can find links to those up there and down
below if you want to watch them later.

Maybe you want to stop eating animals too.
Well, instead of boring you with me talking

the whole time, I thought it would be really
fun to talk to kids from all over the world who are vegan.

Because here’s something that a lot of adults
seem to forgot: you kids are really smart

and you often say much smarter things than
most adults! So now it’s time for me to

be quiet and let these super-smart, incredible
vegan kids tell you why they don’t eat animals!

Let’s meet them all first!

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 6.5 from Tel Aviv, Israel.

And Carolina Ali, who’s 13 and from Tennessee
in the United States.

Now that you know their names, let’s hear
why they don’t eat animals! And just so you

know sometimes it may be hard to hear everyone
because we were talking from really far away,

so you can always turn on the captions down there, and I’ll
put text up in the really hard parts. If you

can’t read yet, you can ask an adult for help.

I don’t eat animals because it’s
bad for my body.

And guys, it's good not to eat animals, but…

How come?

Um, because animals are our friends!

So, I’m vegan for a number of reasons
mostly to do with animal rights. Now does

it make much sense to be eating animals or
their secretions if you love them?

But of course then there's environmental reasons. Without the earth then not going to

be us. Now they're going to be no humans if
we don't have a place to live. So, of course

that’s very important. Of course my health--I've
always considered myself a healthy person,

but now that I'm vegan, I am much more healthy.
And then probably the last big reason is other

people. You know, going vegan can end world
hunger and world thirst. And of course everyone

wants that to end. Going vegan helps not only
animals but other people as well.

Main reason is ethical reasons, because
I don’t think it’s our right to be, you know doing

these things to other animals just because we think
that we have the “better species,” which we’re

really not. I went vegetarian when I was seven
because we got chickens, kinda for pets, but

Dad wanted to eat them and get their eggs
and stuff. And I didn't mind the eggs because

I didn’t really see what was wrong with
that. But I didn't want to eat them because

I fell in love with them and they had names
and such, so why would I want to eat them?

And then I sort of made the connection that, you know,
just because the other ones don’t have names,

that I know, doesn’t mean they’re any
less...special.

I’m vegan because I care about
the animals and the environment, and especially my health.

Because we don’t want to kill animals.
We want them to live their own lives.

I went vegan mainly because of you. The
family wasn’t very supportive, but they’re

getting better. We made it to veganism. We
fought the fight and we won.

I watched Gary Yourofsky’s speech
and I went vegan overnight. I guess I've always

thought hunting was wrong growing up around
hunting, and I never kind of made the connection

that it was kind of the same thing, me eating
meat and hunting. So I went vegan overnight

after watching Gary’s speech because I just
realized it was the right thing to do and

that was the way that everybody should be
vegan--it’s just the only way to live.

Because they just hurt them and just
kill them. I want them to play around in

the spring and the summer, and they want to live
all lovely in the wild!

Because my family...we believe that
animals should have the rights to be happy

like us. I went vegan when I was about maybe
two because my family thought we needed eggs

but then we discovered that we just don’t
need them and animals are happier when we’re vegan.

Cause I I don't want to kill animals
and I and I don't want other people to kill them for me.

I so hope you enjoyed hearing from real vegan
kids! If you’re a vegan too, I hope that this helped

you know that you’re not alone. And if you want
to be vegan and not eat animals, I hope that this

shows you that kids just like you are able
to do it just fine! Stay tuned for more videos
