This is a YouTube interview in which John Robbins and Vishen Lakhiani discuss benefits of plant-based eating. Robbins recounts an experiment where three college football players showed markedly better nighttime erectile function after a plant-based meal versus a meat-based meal; the video uses this anecdote to argue men should reduce meat and processed foods. The conversation also critiques meat-industry marketing and frames plant-based choices as healthier and more ethically/environmental.

Everyone out there needs to be adding more plant based food to their diet, especially if you're a man. Now just watch this with an open mind.
When they saw the data, they all said, I'm going to eat plant based, particularly anytime when I have a date. That night in that movie, the change Members, that just blew my mind. They took three USC college football players, athletes, strong guys, fast guys, fast runners, you know, really fit in their early 20s, kind of in the prime of that type of male energy. And they, they fed them one night a meat based diet. It was all organic meat by the way. And, and then they, that night they hooked their penis up to a certain device that measures with, of course, with their permission, obviously measures any erections they might have during the night, how long lasting they are, how firm they are, how long they are. This actually get a lot of data from these graphs from these devices. Then the second night, same guys, they gave them a really healthy plant based meal and did the same thing in all three cases. Each of the three athletes, they found that they had longer erections, longer lasting, firmer and more frequent erections during the night that they ate the plant based meal than when they ate the meat based meal, all three of them. And the differences between the nights were dramatic. It wasn't just subtle or slight, it was really emphatic. So much so that when these athletes who were college jocks, they're meat eaters, they don't think a lot about health, they're bored, blessed physically, they're very strong and fit. When they saw the data, they all said, I'm going to eat plant based, particularly anytime on a meal when I have a date that night. That reached at a level when you.
Have a date that night.
The film crew that filmed their response when they were told what the data had shown by the urologist conducting the experiment, the, the film crew all turned, decided to change their diets too, because.
Steak is for men. They showed us commercials, burgers, George Foreman with the grill.
Yeah.
And the big sandwiches and all that stuff. Meet like a man and be full like a man. This is great, great marketing. But the meat industry, serious man food, selling that idea that real men eat meat.
You look like more of a man with a quarter pounder in your head.
But you got to understand that's marketing. That's not based on reality.
You're completely meat free.
We are, we are. And I've been for many, many decades. I'm not asking people to do that. I mean if that's your ethics, if that's what your heart wants, Fine, that's what I want to do, and that's what I do. It works for me. And it is a healthy way to go if you know how to do it right. But the point is to eat less meat, to eat fewer processed foods, to take steps in the right direction. When you do that, you're strengthened by those steps because you feel better, you lose weight, your system is more alive and clear. And then what happens is you're motivated to take another step and then another step. And pretty soon you are where you want to be. You're on your path. You're living a life that you love. And that's what this is about. And you're doing it in a way that blesses the world, that doesn't rape the world, doesn't prey on the world, doesn't treat the rest of life as a resource to be consumed, treats the rest of life with reverence and respect.
So there you have it, guys. All of us should be eating more plant based food. Not just for the earth, but also for your erection. I can't believe my life has come to this. I'm giving erection advice on Instagram. Seriously, what went wrong?
