Low key by nature, TikTok mom, turned vegan mom influencer, Natasha Callahan has been shamed beyond her wildest dreams for simply sharing she is raising her infant daughter on a meat and dairy free diet. In other words, as a vegan.

One video blew up and the shamers were relentless. With everything from "Call child protectives services," to "It's just wrong," Natahsa, whose TikTok handle is @tasjrose, is taking it all in stride.

Natasha regularly posts fun and light-hearted TikTok videos, has found a great following who love what she's doing. On the flip side, there are those who would rather see her deal with child services than ever put up another TikTok video.

Curious by nature, Natasha heavily researches what's best for her baby's diet. Feeding different types of plant based foods for each meal, Natasha will not be detered on her commitment to raise a healthy, meat and dairy free baby.

There is confusion of what the difference between plant based and vegan is. And.. which is best. During this episode, I discuss the difference, including the fact that veganism is not a diet, but rather a philosophy and way of life.

If you are not one who frequents TikTok, this post may not make sense. However, if you've been on TikTok for any length of time, you know it can be like going into the Twilight Zone.

It was actually during a recent visit to TikTok that I was compelled to write this post and release the most current episode on the Plant Based Eating for Health podcast show.

Let me preface by saying that TikTok is a great way to unwind at the end of the day and watch funny animal videos, heartwarming rescue videos, vegan recipe videos, and success journeys of people turning their lives around.

It's a harmless way, so I thought, to enjoy the perspective of men and women around the globe.

Yet, every so often, a video pops up that you have to wonder, "What is the person thinking?"

Granted, the question, in and of itself is judgmental, but as humans, we do tend to judge. Not many people escape the clutches of judgement. Some more than others.

On this particular occasion, a video came in my thread of a woman who was morbidly, morbidly obese, sitting in front of dozens of cheeseburgers, tacos, fries, cupcakes, and several large plastic cups of soda.

Now please know, this is not at all about fat shaming… at all. However, it is about questioning why someone would find it necessary to prop themselves up in front of the camera to literally stuff their face with untold amounts of unhealthy food.

You can well imagine the comments people left about her gluttonous ways, to which her canned response was, "I feel great, and I am healthy."

Likely neither are true, but she stands by her statement.

Sadly, young people are being influenced by these types of videos. Currently, there is a major health crisis going on. One that began long before the pandemic and shutdowns.

There has been an increase in virtually every type of disease, obesity is an epidemic unto itself, contributing to many preventable diseases.

His vegan journey began in 1985, long before it was a "thing." Most people had no idea what being vegan meant, but to Geoff it was about kindness to the animals, reversing disease that ran rampant throughout his family and getting control of his depression.

After losing his father to alcohol, his mother to multiple sclerosis and his brother to schizophrenia, his family unit had fallen apart.

This resulted in severe chronic depression leading to suicidal depression.

After attempting suicide twice, Geoff realized he needed to take control of his emotions, but how to do so was a mystery.
