Hey mate do you still take in clients for PT and nutrition ? As a fat vegan I'd love to look like you haha.

No time these days but join Plant Strong Fitness fb group and ask there 💪🏽

Hi! I'm Hanna- 22 yr old American. I went to see you in Asheville, NC last yr & fell in love with your message/ethics/ commitment to veganism. Since, I have educated & turned (lol) 5 of my friends vegan. I love to spread inspiration & the message/not stick to the status quo. I believe that knowledge is power. That being said, I just moved to Newcastle, Aus to finish a degree in International Studies with a concentration in the environment. I would LOVE to contribute in any way to your cause. hmu

Awesome, go you!! There’s lots of great activists in Newcastle. Join the local vegan fb group and get involved. You will be warmly welcomed, I’m sure!

James when your new t shirts kicking in? peace ✌🏻

I’ll hopefully get around to that in the next 2-3 months haha

[james-aspey]

3+ months vegan. You are one of my inspirations. I appreciate you bro. Thank you for what you do.

Awesome!! I’m sure you’ll inspire many people to follow in your footsteps

I just wanted to shoot you a message and thank you for all the you are doing for our animals and our humanity. I’m newly vegan and a lot of the community I was finding are quite angry vegans. Shit, I’m well on my way there as I’m learning more and more about this lifestyle being such a positive thing and then seeing the crazy uneducated meat eating side. Thank you for being a voice. And I role model I can look to, to take a peaceful approach while making this transition to a cruelty free life.

I understand the anger but I think strategically it makes more sense to be the happiest, healthiest vegan you can be. “Means we use must be as pure as the ends we seek.” -MLK

Hey James, I was wondering, what are your thoughts on silk worms? I noticed that some "vegan" makeup companies use silk in their products and of course silk is used in a lot in clothing...

Silk is not vegan.

Hey James! I hope you're well :) Kristin here. Just a quick one - I am vegan because of you!!! I am Yoga Teacher and a healer, I've written a blog post about my commitment to to veganism with a mention of you and Rachel Brathen and your EPIC podcast ep! Hopefully I can keep spreading the love. Thanks for doing what you're meant to, you're legit changing the world xx

That was a great podcast, thanks for listening and more importantly thanks for changing!

Hello James, I just wanted to say your a gem shining inspiration to many including myself . I've started gaining control control over the anger that comes from talking with heavily indoctrinated people who believe they need animal products to survive . And from watching how you discuss and debate the topic as well as some other vegan activists can now talk about veganism in a calm polite manner while still bringing up the issues thst need to be addressed . Blessing from Canada. Peace & Love .

How you deliver the message is just as important, so keep it up! ✌🏽

If you believe in peace and the ethical treatment of other beings, why did you goto Israel to promote Animal Advocacy while also using your girlfriends Israeli birth right promotion which displaces Palestinians amidst also Israel's racist and apartheid policy towards second class citizens and Palestinians? Or do you just simply exclusively care for animals and willfully ignore the lives of other human beings being negatively affected by your choices? I would like to hear about your thoughts.

I went to Israel and did the best I could to promote peace including giving free speeches and documenting conditions on dairy farms. I have no idea what you’re talking about regarding my girlfriend’s birth right promotion and don’t know enough about the Palestine and Israel conflict to comment. Obviously I’m against injustice and oppression and that happens in every country on the planet.

Why aren't more people active in the USA? How do we get around the laws? It's so discouraging here. I feel like it's a losing battle but I want to see change badly but i feel helpless here.

There’s plenty of groups getting it done in the USA.The Save MovementAnonymous for the VoicelessDirect Action Everywhere

[james-aspey]

Merry Christmas Thank you for a the work you've done this year for the animals and helping me see a better way.

Thank you for opening your eyes!

[james-aspey]

Is forgiving yourself for your past choices that contributed to harm towards animals possible, or even acceptable? I can't seem to forgive myself for what I did despite not knowing, and then not being able to go vegan overnight and taking a week to make the switch. :'(

Forgive yourself! You can only do better when you know better

[james-aspey]

I’m trying to remember what fiction book you talked about that you loved. Ive spent the last hour trying to find where you mention it but haven’t found it so far. Do you remember the one?

Shantaram?

[james-aspey]

[james-aspey]

Hi James just wondering as your a vegan. Do you kill insects and cockroaches and spiders in your home? I feel bad killing spiders and cockroaches in my home but at the same time i dont want them in there. I'm not vegan but just wondered what your view on it was?

I avoid killing as far as practicably possible.

[james-aspey]
