Now THIS is how you make a anti-meat video. Just gave us the facts and didn't shove your own opinions down our throat. You have earned my respect.
Ok first of all i belive that you were like:*veganism intensifies*

There's a way to give an opinion respectfully
Most videos will just insult you for your own opinion and try to guilt trip you
Which is shoving it down your throat
This isn't anti anything
dn8rofficial >not an anti meat video
>just facts
Pick one.
This video can be considered anti meat for one simple reason; it explains why humans controlling nature with industrial farms just to feed us is unethical
Unless your spectrum of anti meat videos are just crazy vegans, you are really looking at this through a narrow lens.
Even when a tiny fraction of calories is made into beef, cows are still eating grass, and pigs are still eating shit. Still better to eat what we're feeding the animals than meat? I don't think so.
is meat good?
kurzgesagt: Yes'snt
They would probably say "Jein"
Guy Heller I honestly dont know if thats a insult or a joke
You can get the taste of meat without the environmental damage and animal torture by eating Beyond Meat and Gardein products

@Angela Li go talk to your doctor about diets. That's basically what you do when you think about changing diets. You *_ALWAYS_* check with your doctor and ask about diets and how you should change it, gradually or immediately.
i'm not sure what's wrong with me, but i laughed at this sentence: "Even if you had a personal score to settle with chickens, how we treat them is beyond broken."

@@morbo8777 Your first reply is such a fucked up argument. It's like a parent telling their child that it ows it's existence to them, so it's ok they abuse the fuck out of it. Now go ahead and call me a whiney baby, but maybe think about that first.
I get the feeling, reading through the comments, that a lot of people missed the point of the comment "Eating meat doesn't make you a bad person, and not eating meat doesn't make you a good person". The point is that if you try and make people out to be "enemies" and make an "us vs them" mentality, you're going to have a much harder time trying to actually _talk_ to others and help them understand your point of view. If you make someone out to be a villain, an enemy, opposition to what you say is "right and just", you're creating for yourself an uphill battle.
Remember that the people eating meat, and the people not eating meat, are all still _people._ Calm down, try and relax a little. I assure you, it'll help. Remember that pointing out instances of others not acting in civil ways is not a good excuse for doing so yourself.

@@SmallPenisSorry want to start a war
Back then when I was growing up overseas, we bought our meat at wet markets and we watched (most times) the slaughtering (usual quick slash to the neck or a quick pound to the head) by the seller. We don't buy one pack of breast or one pack or wings, we just buy one chicken or fish, or one/few parts of the pig (no multiple packed cuts). We eat all parts of the animals, from head to tail, from intestine to blood. I know the world is a different place now but it sends a shiver down my spine every time I see neatly packed meat parts (like the 24 packed wings) in the supermarket. I don't get the super moral bits of killing things as most animals are omnivores (we kept chicken and they would eat worms, insects, smaller animals and...their own kin if given the opportunity) but if I am going to consume another life to fuel my own life I'd rather consume its entirety if possible. Food waste is worse than eating meat on my moral scale.
some of the data kursgesagr uses are generalized i, as an example, live in a third world country, while you can find packed meat in supermarkets generally people here is used to go to saml businesses or local markets, it is like you described
Packaged meat doesn't mean waste. The corporations behind commercial meatpacking use the waste. Well, they sell it to people who put value on it (hence buying it, lol). There's some waste, but honestly, it's probably less waste than your family leaves, since they're using parts deemed inedible to humans to be part of animal food, fertilizers, biofuels, etc.
I decided to eat a vegetable meal if possible
I think it is nearly impossible to replace my fatty diet with completely vegetable meals instantly but from now on I will reconsider when I eat meaty food and try to change my habit as much as possible.
Hey how did it work?
I make myself 2 hamburgers per week, with fake "Beyond Burger" meat. People would think it's real meat... not like many fake meat.
With Mc.Donald Sauce, and other stuff --> It's even better than any other hamburger I've eaten.
This the closest thing to getting me a vegetarian
You’re a bad person. Sacrificing a bit of your own happiness for others is the definition of being a good person. If you can't do that, then you’re a bad one.

Angelica Alcantara People don’t have the right to do whatever they want if it hurts others. That’s why murder and slavery is illegal.

Hi
Facts
Suggesting that people reduce animal product consumption rather than shaming them for not being vegan. Thank you!
So you do know what to do to REDUCE as much as possible your own feeling of shame...
Edit: for some of you, if you think you are the victim and not the bully in this story you did not quite understood the stakes.
beyond some messengers and their possible lack in communication skills there is the depth of their message.
Visit Turkiye :)
@Jakob S You can find examples in the other comments for this video; the fact he isn't spoon-feeding it to you doesn't prove him wrong. There are people who say horrible things on both sides, and if you seriously don't know of any instance of vegans going ape shit about how evil, depraved, selfish, and destroying the world all meat-eaters are then you either don't frequent comment sections on vegan/diet topics much or are willfully ignoring it.
You’re making it sound as if you didn’t take what the oh such mean vegans said to you into consideration cause they were mean to you. Jesus, people.
By the way those two sentences are essentially the same but you’re just twisting one of them to take a shot at the vegan’s being oh so mean by telling you to stop doing something. Stop twisting your words and actually think about what they said rather than how they said it.
There's a justice system in place to stop people who don't care about others lives abusing them because suggesting that they don't abuse is not good enough to stop abusive humans. Every meat eater knows they are abusing animals. If suggestions worked everyone would be vegan already. Suggestions aren't enough to stop the selfish socially accepted animal, planet and personal health abuse
Great video and I love how you made Kurzgesagt versions of the characters from Bob's Burgers 😁
If you're gonna buy food, the best way to respect the lost lives is to not waste a single bit of it. this applies to plants too - my mother will disown me if I pick out my celery
It is probably the best advice beside becoming a vegetarian which is pretty bad
But then again i only respect, feel bad, and love living animals
Dead ones are just food

gassed and then shredded apart. that seems oddly similar to how a specific ethnic group was treated in ww2

It’s all I think about when I see chicken nuggets.
Feminists approve
By law, gassing doesn't necessarily need to happen so in most places they are shredded while fully conscious...! :(

'And if you can, make it something more special again'
I think this holds a lot of weight. Respecting how much resources went into producing meat, and not consuming it day in day out truly makes us appreciate it more.
100%
Underrated comment.
@@morgandax5590 I really want to go vegan eventually but I'm very bad with food and hardly eat anything, especially fruit n veg. I want to start doing this though I think it's a really good idea
That’s what I decided to do after long ethical contemplation of eating meat. I love the taste of good steak, greasy bacon, or the occasional game meat, so I don’t want to quit them. At the same time, I feel responsible for the planet and care about my health, so meat-rich diet is not an option.
I decided to treat meat as (well…) a treat. I try to eat it less often than twice a week, generally once a week. As I 'use' much less meat, I can afford to buy the best (both in quality, as in animal treatment) meat available. I don’t lose one of my favourite kinds of food, but at he same time I make a difference. A very, very tiny one, but still.
Few my friends are hunters and I consider also starting to hunt. Maybe then I could switch to eating only meat I hunted myself, but I don’t know yet TBH.
Tell this to muscle head bodybuilders. The amount of protein and dairy proucts they consume may be 3-4 times that of an average human
@@g0blin_sh4rk I think you should try it. Don't have to do 0-100% vegan, just start where you are now, have a vegan day a week where you try out dishes, or cut out meat, milk or eggs out first and see how you go. That's how I went from cheese-addicted to vegan. And I don't regret any part of the journey :)
Could you make a video on lab grown meat? benefits, drawbacks, comparisons to normal meat?
its the same meat as you would eat thing but no killing or harm. No changes to the nutrients or anything.
@@williamjames4111 I'm curious about the growth medium used, as well as resources required for clean meat.

Thank you so much for this extremely informative, clear, and straight-to-the-point video! I have been vegetarian (no egg, but dairy) for about a year now - and it feels amazing! Even after becoming vegetarian and knowing half of the things said in this video, my eyes are still so very wide! This video completely caught my attention and I absolutely appreciate the fact that no one was targeted or shamed (very inclusive) for their eating habits! Please keep making more!

Best sitcom ever!
I work at a steakhouse. I literally cannot express the amount of meat that gets wasted. And, it isn't the restaurant doing the wasting, its the guests. Steak snobs are a real thing. Someone orders a steak, they want it cooked absolutely perfect. Even just a slight variation in the color of the steak will have them saying "send it back, bring a new one." Its almost as if they are proud of it. They flat out refuse to even try a bite. I get it, you order something one way, that's what you should get. If you order any plus temperatures at a steakhouse (medium rare plus, medium plus) you are a steak snob. I promise you that if you were blindfolded and tried a medium versus a medium plus steak you would not be able to identify between the two. My point is, try actually TRYING your steak before you send it back.
kevinthibodeau i promise you we can tell the taste.
@@Chris-nw2lf no, you can't. I'd put money on it. We're talking a 3° difference in temperature. Do you taste the difference between when you've started eating your steak to when you've finished, because the initial heat has likely cooked it up 3°
kevinthibodeau wdym? Im saying i can taste the difference between medium medium rare and medium rare plus etc
@@Chris-nw2lf For a steak to be considered medium rare the inside temperature has to be about 130°F so for it to be medium rare plus that's 3° temperature difference more. Sure, I suppose it is possible to tell the difference, but it would be so minute. Basically, if that small of a difference is enough for you to send your steak back, you're a steak snob.
So think of an other business that would not have such arrogant custumors in it's demographic

How about a part 2 on fishing. The overfishing of the oceans and farm raised fish.
I honestly think fishing is destroying the world to a whole different scale than this...
Not eating fish would make a DIRECT impact on the world, going vegan not so much, there is still time to save the oceans easily, but nobody talks about it
Watch “Seaspiracy” on youtube
Going vegan is MORE effective than only cutting out fish, because they also cut out meat, dairy and eggs.
JohnyMo the points about meat still remain for everyone. As you saw in the video, doesn't matter if you're buying "100% organic" or regular meat, having a day without meat will give great benefits to the environment and .. well, humanity

@Vegetables and Depression I did watch the whole thing. You guys go through just as much plastic and shit as the rest of us and vegans tend to prefer organic farming which is horrible for the environment.
My point was is that farming isn't really the problem it's energy production.
Vegetables and Depression it ain’t half. It’s 15%. Have you even watched the video?
@@colin-kun3611 boom roasted. this stupid pious prick is distracting from the real problems.
batt3ryac1d I think people nowadays throw the term ‘roasted’ around too freely. You should admit that you said that only to support someone that has the same point of view as you have and didn’t actually think that the comment was actually worthy.
I’d be so down with eating lab meat. I don't need it to be a real cow for me to love it
How about you wait until you actually eat that 1000 dollars steak that doesn't taste or feel like steak? Lab meat might eventually be a good solution, but it is nowhere near ready.
@@Tletna it's further along than you might realize
@@Tletna and plus, lab meat will obviously be expensive at the first sales, so it would take years for it to be commonly eaten as actual animal meat.
You prepared to part with 300$ for a lab grown cheeseburger?
You don’t need to be a real cow?
Reminder: Bob's Burgers was canonically about a family of cannibals.
huh?
I’m no vegan but the way some animals are treated is really sad.
Why are so many people critizising the video by saying that a fully vegan diet isn't healthy? Something like that is never said in the video. They are merely advising people not to eat meat every single day for every single week of their lifes, which is scientifically proven to be better for your health. So calm down for a second and actually listen to what is said in the video, jeez.
Not a vegan, but you can eat a vegan diet and be healthy. Literally it only requires an 8th grade level education about food.
Luca Klinglert someone is a little touchy lol
@@user-nh2jp3xm6e thats not true....check ya facts first
yes...eating meat everyday...is never good...once/twice a week thats good
Mojo Nojo It is actually true. You can eat a vegan diet and be healthy.

Gotta say, didn't expect this video to be so respectful in all matters. Very well put, leaves no one behind and not manipulative. Great
Yea but after listing so many reasons why the industry is awful - it felt like a huge cop-out at around the 6:30 mark when he's basically saying "...(uuuhhm) life is complicated. soo just eat ...less meat maybe?".
Almost like they knew that by saying "Go vegetarian!" or "Go vegan!" they would lose thousands of subscribers in record time... Just my opinion tho.
Micah Neilson Good thing actually, people would be triggered otherwise and eat an extra steak out of spite.
@Theunwantedwings are you suuuure about that? Please tell me what's so essential in meat. I'm sure all 1.5 billion vegetarians are desperate for you to shed your light on what they're lacking.
This was the closest thing to turning me vegan..
Why? They literally said in the video "eating meat does not make you a bad person, and not eating meat does not make you a good person". It takes a lot of land to grow food regardless if you eat meat or not. Besides the health benefits to being a vegan are close to none and or are controversial. We became as intelligent as today by having a varied diet, meat and plants. If we only ate plants, we wouldn't be as smart as we would be today. We need both.
Spiders Galore he said closest thing which suggest he didn’t turn vegan. I think the point is this is the most rational video that actually uses science to explain reasons why we shouldnt eat meat, and compared to whatever reasons vegans/animal rights activists gives out that sounds and is probably bs, the points made here is much more reasonable
@@Taczy2023 So much of what you said is wrong. Eating meat absolutely does make you a bad person. You're inflicting so much suffering for no good reason.
@@Taczy2023 meat production uses 75% of our crops grown.
Meat production and eating meat is bad for the body and the planet
Ok so meat is bad. What do we do about the livestock if we stop eating meat? If we begin by adhering to ethics, we lose land and additional crops in order to house them. If we cull them, we end up with an excessive we can’t use due to our global diet change. And we can’t use them to feed the others animals due to the shear volume of our livestock. We could cull the population for animal food slowly, but that’s too slow and the diets of animals vary.
tldr: Even if we all go vegetarian, we still face the same issue. It’s better to moderate meat intake and reduce til it’s manageable for the planet
Love the subtitles: 'catchy intro tune' lol!

Artificial lab grown meat will likely be the future, no more animal mistreatment, much better resource consumption to produce. Make it healthy and safe and I'm 100% in.
And none talks about what happens to those animals once we have no more use for them. >.> … That needs to be solved also.
@@Wichnam probably all eaten or killed no need to waste good food
@@Wichnam It'll be a blip on the radar as to how big of an issue that will be.
Most likely "live" animal meat will slowly be phased out; demand for it will reduce, due to increased demand for lab grown meat when the quality goes up and price starts to come down.
Any left over animals that nobody wants to slaughter for meat will wind up in farm sanctuaries, which already exist. But honestly, I suspect there will still be a niche market for live animal meat for a loooong time even when there are more ethical and just as delicious options because humans are fear-driven and afraid of change.

1) they're not telling you to become vegetarian
2) it's your choice to do it anyways
3) animals do practically waste a whole lot of resources for what they give
4) we suck at caring for animals most of the time

I'm definitely all up for lab grown meat. I know a lot of people are going to make the argument that like MSG it's human created and not as healthy as "natural food". But man, humans have always been domesticating and genetically modifying plants and animals for food, there's rarely any food you eat that wasn't created from mankind interference.
Brushing your teeth and sleeping in a bed isn't "natural" either and we do that without complaining!
Yeah i am 100% up to trying lab grown meat, As long as its not going to kill me in 20 years :P
Agreed.
Never watched him tbh, thought he was just a meme
Why do people worry that genetic engineering or cloning livestock or whatever is unnatural when everything else we do is unnatural?
Watching this while eating chicken
3:50 not me eating bacon while watching this😢
This is the most honest video about the negatives of eating meat i've ever seen. You've altered my opinion and made me feel bad about eating meat without attacking me. This is the proper way to win an argument. I can't hate on vegans anymore.
We don't really hate vegans, what we hate are those aggressive fundamentalist vegans.
I don’t think it’s about winning an argument, it’s about the truth of the ‘meat’ and ‘dairy’ industries treatment of animals. There is no justification for the abuse and ultimate death of sentient beings for food, when there are plant based alternatives. I was indoctrinated into the system but for the last two years have been wholly plant based. I feel better for not causing anymore harm to animals consciously, and ultimately the health benefits gained are exponential. But for me it’s the animals that matter...
Well the thing is, that sometimes you need the aggressive fundamentalists to make a difference.
I could use the example of the suffragettes, but I won’t because some people think that they were not necessary to the gain of women’s suffrage. But actually a significant amount of the vegans were swayed, at first, by aggressive shouting and stuff like that. But definitely not everyone. I was swayed by a sticker on the tube for Veganuary.
Fucking pussy. It's just the industrial revolution's fault
The arguments in the video are quite standard, and not very good, they don't go deep enough. Many of the Kurzgesagt videos are very good and insightful, but they missed a lot of points on this one. Not impressed.
My teacher is making us do a project on this, im not complaining, the way you explain this is perfect, thanks for not being a boring channel :D
Something to help with your report, one of the problems with this assessment is not all agricultural land and feed are created equal. No one feeds cows human grade corn unless it's the byproduct of oil presses and distilleries - after the humans used it. No, you cannot feed humans rotting byproducts or grass that grows on largely crappy land not suited for most crops. On top of that, rotating crop fields is a necessary part of restoring nutrients after intensive farming. Land shouldn't be exclusively used for only 1 product, the real problem is monocultures. Global Rice production produces just as much methane as cows do, it's not just meat that is problematic. It's all of agriculture.
Yes CAFO (concentrated animal feeding operations) is problematic and shouldn't be the standard either, but this critique glosses over the fact that a small family farm is an artifical ecosystem that works best with both animals and plants. We have chickens because they eat all the insects instead of using pesticides. We have cows, goats, sheep, and other herbivores because it means less gasoline and diesel to run grass cutting machines and use their poop for running Biogas generators. Everyone should be using Biogas for the food waste and poop if you really care about methane production or converting methane into less harmful CO2.
Crop farms hire hunters and pest control all the time too, so if you think eating plants kills less animals woo wee sorry to tell you but we kill way more rats and insects and fish each year from crop agriculture than we slaughter animals. Every day is killing day for an unwanted farm pest, whereas livestock on average take 1-3 years to reach market weight. No one goes around and counts all the dead rats hiding in the bushes and holes. Comparing these two realities is disingenuous when you don't even know the real numbers about how living things are affected by humans. You can't really claim an honest ethical high ground as a supermarket vegan just by pretending animals don't die in the process of raising crops
@@KevinsArmory this felt personal 😐

I would *love* to do a project about this channel anytime 😁
@@Food5Thought yeah, im almost done, he put his sources in the description so reading those aswell and with the clear vid, wasnt difficult just a little time consuming but i got through it :D
A simple man's 2cents: eating meat isn't the problem, so much as the commercial meat industry and ultimately the human beings behind it. I'm from a developed country where almost all residents go to a supermarket/butcher to purchase their meat. When I go on holidays to underdeveloped countries I notice a far greater number of people raising livestock in urban settings. I think this is the solution. I'm lucky enough to live on a 1acre block (4000m2). I've dedicated ¼ of the land to fruit & vegetables and the rest is pasture. In my subtropical climate I can easily support 3 sheep (with a lamb each) 2 dozen free range chickens, a rooster (with a no crow collar), 3 breeding turkeys and a pair of breeding pigs which give 20-30 piglets a year. Not only do I not have to mow my lawn ever (which is very harmful to the ozone layer) I don't need to supplement the animals feed because of selective planting. Not everyone has access to 1 acre but there's enough land on earth that we all could without encroaching on any natural habitats. Again I think the problem is humans not our diet. Our society just isn't set up to put nature first, even if it would mean a better quality of life for the majority of the population. /End rant.
Kurzgesagt really changed my way of thinking about meat
Read animal farm if you ever get the chance. Meat industry treat the humans just as bad.
Important tip: Before you show this to your friends, make sure you show them some of the other great videos by Kuzgesagt so they wont dismiss it from the start ;)
i disagree. it sounds like you want people to start liking him so that they think he can't be wrong about something. this video doesn't need context from other videos to be criticized fairly.
@@LoneWolfUprising I'd like to counter that. Of course making people like kurzgesagt doesn't make their argument stronger, but Kurzgesagt's team usually understand the literature, and are hard working to get their facts right. It would be beneficial to yr friends to acknowledge this because there are so many fake news out there.
@@quangho8120 i counter with "yeah, they do good research, you can trust them"
True
@@LoneWolfUprising It does. It doesn't change the argument, but it does show that Kurz genuinley wants to inform people and does as much research as possible. At the very least, someone should show them the video where they explain how they do their research
