Le Figaro: Lies & Prejudice, with Dr. Jérôme Bernard-Pellet
I am mindful about not judging my meat-eating neighbour. I try to be loving and compassionate. And despite the solid arguments for veganism one could put forth, I hold my tongue, not wanting to be *that* vegan.

It’s true, being vegan can be tricky at times.
Not so much because of what you can and can’t eat, nor even because of the challenge of finding shoes that are cruelty-free, chic and comfortable. (We’ve kind of solved those things.)
The trickiness lies in knowing how to react to unsolicited and clumsy ‘counsel’.
I am mindful about not judging my meat-eating neighbour. I try to be loving and compassionate. And despite the solid arguments for veganism one could put forth, I hold my tongue, not wanting to be that vegan.
But then sometimes, those whose choices are questionable, question me, by chucking an unscientific article denouncing veganism at me. Now this is usually water off a duck’s (quack!) back, but the latest one didn’t just question me – it questioned me as a mother.
At which point, the gloves came off.
Much as my instinct told me to respond in an equally puerile way, I decided to be the better person.
So, Ann and I used that indignant fire to set the record straight. Because in this media-driven world, distorted by pernicious lobbies, what we all need are the simple facts, carefully presented by an eloquent and unbiased authority on science. For whom, by the way, veganism remains the answer, for adults and children alike.
So here it is.
Debunking Le Figaro, with Dr. Jérôme Bernard-Pellet
Listen closely to this video, and don’t be deceived by Dr. Bernard-Pellet’s genteel manner. This is the kind of erudite take-down of blustery click bait that can (and will!) change entire belief systems.

As Dr. Bernard-Pellet says, veganism is anything but a trend. It’s an unstoppable movement that even France can no longer resist.
So, Le Figaro – what say you?

Reportage passionnant. Je suis végane et comme le dit le Dr Pellet, je supplémente mon alimentation en vit.B12 et D. Tout va bien et mes analyses sont parfaites. Pas d’ostéoporose et j’ai 68 ans. Je vous encourage vivement à vous y mettre, lentement mais sûrement.
Merci beaucoup pour votre témoignage, et bravo pour votre santé éclatante ! On est ravies si vous avez trouvé l’interview passionnant – nous aussi ! Que ça fait du bien, la vérité, partagé avec un tel calme qui est tout le contraire de P. Tounian et cie. Bonne continuation végétale à vous !
Bonjour, J’ai regardé votre vidéo sur la vitamine b12 qui est très intéressante et j’ai commandé chez sunday natural (le mélange de 3 B12 et 400 de b9). Comment savoir si ce fabricant est sérieux ? Sur le site il parle d’entreprise certifiés HACCP et de numéro pharmacologique allemand 12522264. Peut on vérifier ces informations ? Connaissez vous des personnes qui prennent de la b12 de cette marque ? Au bout de combien de temps pourrais je refaire une prise de sang pour vérifier si mon taux à bien augmenter ?
Vous faites un super boulot bravo !
Bonne Continuation
Denis
Bonjour Denis, et merci beaucoup pour votre commentaire. Par rapport à la B12, je (Chloe) prend la B12 de Sunday Natural, et il semble que c’est une bonne marque, surtout que quand j’ai fait mes prises de sang 6 mois après avoir commencé leur B12, mon taux était parfait. 6 mois est généralement un bon laps de temps pour vérifier. Mais surtout, vérifier tout ça avec votre docteur ou naturopath ! Bonne continuation, Chloe de Veggie Magnifique.
