The speech that turned me vegan, thank you Ed, if you never went to my uni I know I still would be stuck in my old ways ! Thank you so much, best decision I ever made, I'm so thankful for your time and effort you put into saving innocent lives ! It works and it changes the world and people. I am so much happier being a vegan.
Thank you so much. Honestly, this is the best feedback I could ever hope to receive. Thank you for coming to the speech and thank you for going vegan. This is truly wonderful.
Won't belong untill you are back eating meat and fish
Valeriedowns congratulations! 💗 you must be so proud!
Right in the Beans of what eating plants
I don't even know you and yet here I am, smiling widely and I'm so proud of you! Great job!! :)
i’m already vegan but i swear i become vegan all over again when i watch your videos
Natalie Christine that makes no sence
Scouse Pagan neither does your spelling
Scouse Pagan wow what a reasonable response to call names at a random stranger over the internet not at all childish
Natalie Christine Earthling ed should go on TED talks so he will have a higher platform to teach people about veganism go nominate him speaker-nominations.ted.com/
[]Xanalimarie[] no not at all
He's so gifted!!! Speaking without looking at notes, for over half an hour, without repeating himself, messing up, always kind, polite, cool. You see he believes what he says 100%.
He is so passionate! That is why! He is amazing 🙂
he's just so passionate and we can clearly see it. :)
He's passionate, yes. But he is also just plain wrong about many things. Meat does not cause all the diseases he says it does. It's a myth created by vegan activists, some of whom are doctors, like Greger and McDougall.
@@banishedfromthedwarfplanet530 There's vast amounts of research on the harmful effects of animal products on our bodies (atherosclerosis, kidney damage, insulin resistance, certain forms of cancer etc.) and almost none of these scientists were vegan. It's a scientific _consensus_ that animal products are harmful to our bodies. It's not a statement of vegan doctors only. Don't believe me, research it for yourself. As herbivores, we get atherosclerosis when consuming meat, eggs and dairy, as well as a host of other diseases that I already listed. Carnivores and omnivores (which we are not) _don't_ get atherosclerosis when consuming animal products. This is why the healthiest diet for us is a whole foods plant based diet.
bgtubber>> Not one word you said is backed by empirical evidence. It's all based on anecdotal evidence, self-reporting and outdated science. As far as me researching things myself, I'm WAY ahead of you.
And you're wrong about omnivores not getting atherosclerosis. Chimpanzees in zoos years ago got heart disease from eating the processed carb diet that was given to them. This was despite the fact they got very little animal foods.
It is hard for me to believe that in 2019 there are people who still think humans are herbivores. Total and utter nonsense. Humans are true omnivores, and virtually every anthropologist agrees. You need to find a way to pull yourself out of 1982.
“Nothing hurts a good soul and a kind heart more than to live amongst people who can’t understand it.” -Ali Ibn Abi Taalib
My words.I think the same.
SO appreciate you sharing this quote
Thats very true
Islam teaches ritual slaughter of animals.

"There is no right way to do a wrong thing"... Brilliant speech.. More power to you
It is the best free speech that I ever listened to!!! Really brilliant!!!
The less thing we need is to give power to this fool preaching stupidity
They're literally animals. You've fallen into a hole of brainwashing and schizophrenia. Cows and pigs and chickens don't have feelings. They're meant to be eaten.
my little sister who is three was eating beef jerkey and when she asked my mom what it was, my mom refused to tell her what beef jerkey actually is. She told me she didn't want to tell her because she would cry and get sad because cows are her favorite animal. I don't know why people support eating meat if they are too scared to tell their children the truth. Maybe its because they know what they are consuming is wrongggg
@Darren Skolnik Yea, I agree. I don't care if it means traumatizing someone and putting them in a mental institution in a straight jacket for their whole life. Them getting mentally messed up is not comparable to murder. The victim getting their head cut off would hardly feel sorry for the individuals feelings who is taking their life unjustifiably
It's because death is a taboo in our society.... Its a natural thing.
This blows my mind so hard.... I can’t stand when this happens.
@Aarin Yusuf Did you consider that the world is always changing? Meat was great to provide key nutrients before we had tools to optimise our meals like we got today (blood tests, vitamin preparations, knowledge about what you need to eat and what amount...). But nowadays, we don't eat meat because we need to - we eat it because we want to. We eat it for its taste. We would be totally healthy even without it.
Let me tell you my story of stopping to eat meat: what I wrote above opened up this question to me of whether eating meat is something that still makes sense nowadays. I am a Muslim, and for us, every animal life is valuable and if you slaughter them, you need to do it in a way that is halal and you also need to take care that you do not waste anything of this sacrifice you made. First, I thought about mass production of meat and how we waste so much meat because we produce too much. Even if the slaughter was done in a proper way, you always kind of accept that you waste some part of the animal. And that is still haram (sin) because you know and make a choice to ignore it.
So I thought: okay, let's just buy locally from a trustworthy butcher and farm that doesn't waste meat and takes care that everything is halal (proper/no sin). But once I did, I just realised how much more expensive that is. I'm not talking about double the price. The cheapest I could find was like 50€/kg and that's just impossible as a daily food for normal families. And they can't even sell much cheaper because it simply is that expensive to produce where I live. Any less, and they wouldn't be able to do it truly halal. And at that point, I just thought: well, if it is so hard and really just a luxury, then it can not be the kind of necessary slaughter the Quran allows us to commit. Of course, I am not a scholar and do not know everything in detail, but up till today I couldn't find any justification to still kill animals for out own food. After all, they are valuable lives as well and may only be ended for a good reason. And noone could tell me anything that woul say different. But if you aren't sure whether something is the right thing to do, then you need to avoid doing it, or you indirectly accept the chance of doing something wrong. So, if I don't want to eat potentially haram food, the only option was to stop eating meat. And that I did.
What I wanna say: I personally have no real qualms about killing animals for their meat. People live, people die, animals live, animals die - that IS natural. But the way we do it nowadays, is just not how it is supposed to be. And once you think about it more deeply, you really cannot justify it that easily in any religion - whether you are Jewish, Muslim or Christian. Or even if you don't believe, you still got morals because that is what you were given as a human. And then, it still becomes hard to justify.
So I really hope that you, just for yourself, think about what you feel is just and what the life of an animal means to you. I really don't think there is any objective right or wrong, but what is important is, that you think about it very deeply and decide whether killing animals the way we do right now is the right thing to do. Not just because it is "normal", but with a reason that someone with a different view of "normal" can understand as well.
@Aarin Yusuf but please I implore you listen to what we have to say
“Man eats meat to be strong like an Ox forgetting an Ox eats grass” 🤯
@@cheshdagamer894Vegans? No Plant-eaters
@@cheshdagamer894 Vegans are healthier than you obese meat eaters
@@cheshdagamer894 I thought that same thing in the past. Unfortunately, it does not make much sense, when you look into it more closely. There is no magic nutrient in meat that you cannot get from plant foods. Moreover, it is not true that there are nutrients somehow perfectly condensed in meat and that you can eat a small amount and get all the required nutrients. You can eat plant protein like beans, lentils or rice and also feel full and satisfied. Another problem is, that when you eat meat, you also get dietary cholesterol and saturated fat, which you body cannot properly digest and it gets stuck in your arteries. Please educate yourself, watch documentaries like What The Health or Game Changers. All the best, Phil.

I'm a very young vegan and my mum recommended this to me it's just AMAZING
Thats awesome:)
Going vegan was the best decision I ever made
@@bumblebeetunayoutube3711 yes
Me too! Here's to never looking back!
Nice more meat for me
Same.

That's it. I'm going vegan.
Amazing * _ *
I hope you're still sticking with it and I wish you all the best for your future
Do it. I been vegan for 2 months and damn-near got my 6-pack back. I haven't had a 6-pack since getting out of the military in 2006. I'm learning to cook again.... I can damn-near take a shit on command (zero constipation).... I have more fast-twitch muscles.... and I'm MF proud of myself for going against the grain and being my own MF man. I'm on a mission bro.... I'm learning a bunch and feeling alive...and I'm 38 years old. I'm not giving this feeling up for nobody.
Go for it! :) Honestly, it will be the best decision you ever make. My biggest regret is not going vegan any sooner
Me too.

This is such a powerful speech, I just feel so crushed that people will listen to it and say "well I love bacon anyway so you do you, but I will continue doing this". The poor animals 😢
Cows can love, they have personalities, emotions and a soul, they are gentle and kind and they can bond. They are sweet and beautiful creatures.
I love cows, especially in the form of a burger patty with some mustard between a bun!
@@celiafrostborn Your edgy comment is a pathetic attempt at ignoring all the knowledge that Ed stated. How proud you must be for destroying this earth.
@@Anonymous-hf8nx
We are simply trying to support bakers and mustard seed farmers. What better way to do than buy a burger?
And they taste great lovely food 😋
"are my tastebuds more important than their lives" is one of the thoughts i have had too. hell no they arent.
You can actually make ANYTHING vegan. There are so many AWESOME dishes -- it is like -- Willy Wonka - "pure imagination" when you see what you can make or find at an vegan bistro. No sacrificing animals - No sacrificing taste! Win - Win for all! I just don't see why people don't see the superior logic in this.
@@twinsoultarot473 animal ag will outlive you, your children and you grandkids. Enjoy the thought of that.

Ede Mona being vegan is much healthier. So if you care about your health then stop eating animal products. Win win for us and the animals
sometimes i just watch this to hear truth bombs being dropped every three seconds.

nope
Same! My fourth time here
Same, watching it over and over to have the arguments sink in deep.
@@RoryCresswell-nb1yu That's funny :)
I have been vegan for the animals for more than 27 years. Thank you, Ed, for being one of the most powerful and inspiring voices for the voiceless in our generation. Thank you for all you do for animals. With gratitude.
27 years!! ❤🎉 congratulations and thank you ❤❤❤
33 years!!! 🎉
Wow, I’m not
I eat meat so animals can suffer
@@TheSaltySpitoon69 Congratulations 👏🏼 well done little man!
I hope I’ve given you the attention you’ve so desperately needed today!
I have been non-vegan for animals. No use of anything makes it obsolete not just animals, think of it..
I’ve been an unflinching vegetarian leaning on vegan since I found out that meat was made from real dead animals at around 7 years old, and have recently, at 19, made the switch to full veganism. Your words illustrate what I’ve wanted to say for years to my friends and family who would try to invalidate my beliefs and look down on me for sticking by them. The unwavering confidence with which you speak makes this speech all the more impactful, and watching it made me feel truly seen and understood for the first time in my life. I found myself violently nodding and smiling every time you so eloquently found the words for the thoughts that have spiraled inside my head for as long as I can remember. Everyone in my life made me feel wrong for what I believed, and yet my beliefs never budged. Now that I’ve made the final switch to veganism, I’m more proud of myself than ever before. Sure, I have a lot of work to do on my diet, but it’s something I’m more than willing to work at for the good of animals and humans alike
Wow! Your refrigerator went from a morgue to a garden! That's beautiful!
It's not a great argument though... The plants in his fridge are all dead too... So it's completely besides the point.
The point is that the plants are not sentient so it's less cruel, and that there's more variety in his fridge, therefore he's healthier. I found that metaphor, like many other things in his speech just a bit silly. He's using our emotions, in the same way the dairy or meat lobby are.
The argument that plants are just as alive as animals makes me laugh. A plant is a plant and an animal is an animal. Anyone saying otherwise needs their brain checked.
Better for the plants to be in the garden until you are ready to harvest for your meal.
@@LancelotGraal It is an emotional thing though! That image doesn't just play on our associations with the grimness of dead bodies and the beauty of the natural world, it reveals those associations to us. We're so used to numbing out to animal suffering and the implications of what we eat, and if we acknowledge the horror of the situation and the beauty of eating guilt-free that's a hell of an emotional thing
a garden is where things grow
"there's no right way to do the wrong thing".. wow you just changed my life
That was really striking to me as well...
What's this doing the wrong thing what's this all about
@@stephenfearon5107 it's about the "humane" ways of killing an animal, which is in itself a contradicion. How can it be humane in any way to take a life?
But that assumes taking an animal life is wrong, period. Highly debatable, imo. There are different levels of life that come with different levels of consciousness and correspondingly different levels of capacity for pain/suffering. Humans at the highest level with no close runner up. Then animals ranked from mammals to fish or something even less conscious then plant life, with no proven consciousness. You have to draw a line somewhere. I draw the line at humans, like the Bible does. With conscious life, I draw the line at minimizing suffering, which is a fuzzy line, and I'm willing to debate that, but never to completely prohibit killing. Human life trumps all.
@Justin Oldman I guess that's another way of saying it and it is totally consistent with the point I was making
I watched this just a few days after becoming vegan. What really got stuck in my head is: are my tastebuds more important than the life of an animal. That's what I always say whenever someone asks me if I don't miss the taste of some animalproduct.
Now, after only 2,5 years beeing vegan, I can also honestly say, no, I don't miss a single thing. And how good it makes me feel not to cause animalsuffering by what I eat, cannot be described by words.
I was gonna argue back about some of the things said. But after listening and actually putting myself in his shoes. I Do understand where he is coming from. Yes becoming a vegan is going to be a change I will be making. Good stuff✌️❤️🌞🙏
Watch Game Changers on netflix!
Hope all is going well for you! Going vegan was the best decision I ever made ❤❤

I’m 14 and I’ve been brought up as a vegetarian and now turning vegan. My entire life I had always been questioned by others, told its dumb and pointless for eating what I eat. The word vegan is used as an insult and it is seen as, especially when your a boy, and being ‘wet’ and ‘unalpha’ so its always awkward buying food and eating with others, feeling embarrassed. However thanks to people like Ed through educating, allowing it to be taken seriously, bringing it in to main stream media and exposing the industry for what it is, gives me so much more conviction in why not to be like everyone else around me. Ed you legend x
You are such an amazing 14 years old. Ignore those who call you those names those ignorant bullies hurl at you. You inspire me (61 years old) as Natialie Blom says down below. Our future is bright as long as we have many young people like you.
You are great Oscar! Keep up with it ❤
I am 64 and I get made fun of for being vegan. Even my grown kids think it is dumb. But I am so healthy. They all get sick ALL THE TIME. I am on my third winter now of not being sick at all. You can visit them in the hospital when they are sick, and when you leave, you can privately laugh at them. You should be proud for sticking up for what you believe in!!!!
Follow your heart Oscar, one day all the haters will know you were right. You are gonna be a great man for standing up for your believes at such a young age. You are gonne go somewhere in life!
Be proud Oscar. It takes an incredible character to follow your convictions when so many around you disagree. And at 14...wow. Good for you. Stay strong, be proud of who you are and don't let any animosity, hate or frustrations with these people get in the way of your path. And it sounds like the path of a really good human being to me! :)
"There is no right way to do the wrong thing" Amen🙌
That line strikes me too! Amen 👌🏻✌🏻
@David Anewman Considering animals are fed most of the crop food we grow, we would be able to sustain more people if we stopped the animal holocaust.
@David Anewman Yeah, because no Christian has ever killed someone, no religious regime has ever been guilty of genocide either. Atheism doesn't even have anything to do with veganism in the first place.
@David Anewman Veganism is also linked to higher intelligence, is being smart part of Satan's plan too? How exactly does veganism contradict evolution? I'd love to hear your explanation.
@David Anewman Show me a study linking veganism to insanity, you won't of course, because there are none. You clearly don't understand evolution and veganism. If you really think humans rule the animal kingdom, go stand next to a lion, bear, pack of wolves etc., or go drink some river water and contract an infection.
I’m 23 years old and became vegan a few month ago because of you. It made the wheels start turning and lead me to do my own research. I never would have thought me of all people would go vegan. I was born in Texas and now live in Arkansas and grew up thinking a meal wasn’t a meal without meat. Now I eat delicious whole plant foods and am healthier, happier, and more aware because of it. And honestly it was way easier than I expected.
Challenging a way of life the majority of us, our family, our friends grew up believing is a feat in itself but I respect so much how you go about it calmly and logically. Thank you!
Fellow Texan here and I’ve been vegan for three years now! Glad to prove that Texans and other southern states who worship meat culture can become vegan.
😊
Hey fellow vegan! I also was the kind of person who didn't think a meal without meat was food. I also had a huge aversion to vegetables and could only eat them in a purée form lol. Now, 4 or smth years vegan. The MOST challenging thing isn't be following what I know intellectually and compassionately that is right, it's the fact that I have opened my eyes to the cruelty and dissonance of the world, and I've become a spectacle for other people who don't want to see their own faults in their actions, and get defensive by my existence. That, is the hardest, but it's not hard in the slightest, especially when you compare this with all the suffering that the animals go through. I always remember that this movement is for the animals, it's not about me, and I will keep doing anything I can to fight for their right to live. We are in this together 💚
Not everyday you see a vegan, let alone someone who is a born and raised Nigerian man but here is one!
Nice to meet you 😆
I love how calm, reasonable, and non judgemental this is
Very true. Beautiful speech for sure. Must come from a nice soul....
I love vegans slowly die starving with full stomach of fiber. I hope more retards go vegan and die.
Eaon Eternal 😭😭 ur ruthless
@@oneternal647 Well the joke's on you, because meat eaters you are some of the only people that can die or suffer physically and mentally from their diet.
That's what I love about this video.
I cant believe I actually watched a 30 minute speech about veganism. I always joke around the idea of vegans with my friend, but after watching this speech it has made me realise the ignorance of my mindset.
One thing that I did however already support was the idea, that cultures are bashed for eating animals such as dogs, whilst Westerners DONT complain about them eating pigs, cows, sheep etc.
It just sounds so wrong, the way we treat animals, and the way that we try to justify it? The majority of people, including me, are/were being hypocritical on such matters of animal exploitation and abuse. I may start trying to make small changes to my diet first, before completely changing it. It’s gonna be really difficult, but after listening to this speech, it has really made me motivated to change my lifestyle, to not positively affect me, but the animals and the environment too.
Thank you for this video ^^
Anuraxan I definitely get how you feel. In June it will be 6 years ago that I decided to go vegan. I remember how many times I cried that first month because I actually went through withdrawals from cheese specifically. I thought my life was over because I couldn’t eat the things I wanted anymore. Now almost 6 years later it seems laughable. I’ve never been happier because I eat absolutely delicious food and I’m even more satisfied with my food than before I was vegan. Most change is really really hard, and that’s why most people don’t make changes and stick to them. It can be a really long journey to get there, but so worth it.

Best of luck to you no matter what you choose!
pyrobotnik leave the death cult, veganism is awakening
Try the 22 day vegan challenge.
+pyrobotnik Carnism is a violent cult. Veganism is just a logically consistent ideology, child.
Anuraxan - although I ate very little meat I did eat dairy/eggs but I just went completely vegan last summer but do whatever works for you. Every little bit counts. The most difficult thing is having to read every damn label if you buy processed foods! ;)
Remember, it's not just about diet though but what you wear, clean with and beauty/make-up etc.
Every time someone asks me why I'm vegan I wish I could sit down with them and watch this together. Thanks for everything you do Ed.
WOW ...very powerful...for all my life 53yrs....I've always eaten meat....I'm changing my ways after seeing this amazing speech..thank u for opening up my eyes
I am happy to hear that! Thank you, friend for your choice
High five! 😁💚
Are you still alive going vegan is very dangerous and unhealthy 😬
@@BuffaloSportsClubThat’s untrue, quite simply.
@Thatpersonwhodoesstuff unfortunately it's not untrue. Most vegans, after a few years on the diet, will have underlined health issues. It's pretty factual now that the evidence is out there for the world to see.
I have never made on a comment on a video, but dude....you deserve the recognition for making this masterpiece. This is the best argument I have ever heard for not eating meat. As someone who currently does eat meat, you have inspired me to change me ways starting now. Thank you so much!
beautiful!!! i wish you much luck! if you need help, try the vegan 22 day challenge and also download the app called daily dozen, it tells you what foods you need and its all plants!
David, best of luck to you! That is so good to hear
because of people like you the world is changing to be a better and more peacefull place. I have hopes for a better future because of people like you, thank you :)
That's exciting! I hope more vegans take a non-judgemental and off-putting approach. Personally i count veganism as one of the best choices i have ever made in my life. One tip, get convicted about why you want to become vegan, and it will be much easier than trying to force it. See the truth and choose to not be part of it any longer. Best of luck!

Who else is watching this in 2020?!!!
I just watched this for the first time! I am 15 and have felt very compelled for the past few months to become vegan. I started seeing videos like this and following vegan accounts and I cannot hide from the truth. The only problem is my parents. I've gone dairy free for acne reasons, and never eat eggs, but how do I stop consuming meat. I don't for breakfast and lunch but my mom cooks dinner every night with some type of meat in it. I am not allowed to cook separately so I am stuck. Any suggestions?
Been a vegan for years and I still revisit this video from time to time. This guy is a legend, I would love to have his demeanor and ability to calmly argue with people. All creatures deserve respect.
@@Ty-nq4fh Well said!
@@autumnkuzio4242 hey, this is a bit late, but just wanted to say, I'm 15 and going vegan too! Personally what I do with the meal issue is check what my mum is making for dinner, and if it's not vegan/can't be made vegan, I'll make a quick little something for myself. For example, tonight we're having spaghetti bolognese, so I'll make some tomato sauce to go with mine.
Also, I highly suggest getting in to cooking. Offer to cook every now and then. If you can find some vegan recipes that your family love, maybe it'll get them to at least cut down a little on the animal products.
Anyway, good luck, you got this!
@@aesthetewithoutacause3981 thank you! I do cook from time to time but I have school and a job so sometimes its tough. Little by little I will get there though :)
I watched this video in January and I couldn't fault the logic. Since then I haven't eaten any animal products apart from honey which I do plan to filter out. As a sufferer of anxiety and panic attacks I also noticed a nearly complete reduction in episodes, I will add that I have also started vitamin B12 supplements which will help with a huge range of things. Thank you Ed for helping me feel the best mentally and physically, than I have felt since being a teenager.
Something similar happened to me..Btw youve got one hell of an ironic last name
@@alienmapping3536 lol I haven't even thought about my last name 😁.

I'm 16 and I've been vegan for 6 and a half months now and it has been one of the best decision I've ever made.

Brilliant stuff.
@@BKBK-yo1zz I’m sure that’s not true. It’s amazing his many silly things people can say behind the safety curtain of the internet.
Amazing 💚 now that you understand, please get active and stand up for the voiceless and for our only planet and home. Thank you 💚
im already vegan, have been for just over 2 years, but i still watched this whole thing because this speech is so powerful. i'll be sending this to anyone who asks me why im vegan. it also gives me so many great points if i get into a debate with someone about veganism
Yes, me too. Unfortunately I and my environment are German. I fear that my people are too cushy to listen. That's a shame.
Please do activism the animals need you
I've been a vegan and animal rights campaigner for 38 years..........YET I need to see this brilliant speech every so often to hear the eloquence. Ed's arguments and knowledge are exquisite.
Thank you for helping the world be a better place ❤️
haha same!
I know he's a controversial figure, but that one presentation by Gary Yourofsky got me good, some months after I had already been vegan, and some several years after I was aware of my hypocrisy and guilty conscience. Ed speaks the same truths, its just that he drives them in with a softer hammer.
I love Ed's tactics when discussing veganism and animal rights with non-vegans, as it's a lot less aggressive, but I watch snippets of both of them from time to time just to remind myself to stay determined.
Dairy farming is exquisite all farming is
Pushing 40 years of veganism is quite impressive. I've been veggie for nearly 25 years and I'm finally becoming serious about turning vegan. It won't happen (for me) over night, but I'm working on it. It's peeps like you who inspire me to change for the better-Thanx! 😃🤘
This is the video that turned me vegan about 3 months ago. And now my husband and brother-in-law are vegans because of this video. We are never going back. Thank you, Ed. You're helping change the world.
Enjoy malnourishment.
Are you, your husband, and your brother in law still vegan, 5 years later? I’ve been vegan for around 2-3 months now and am curious to see how many people stick to it.
My pandemic glow up was transitioning to a vegan diet. So proud of myself. 🙆🏻♀️😊🤘🏻
you are awesome!!!
Glow up? 🤮
Keep going!
Still vegann 🤘🏻🤘🏻💗

I already was Vegan but this gave me clear arguments to tell people when they give objections.
Jimmi Heijgelaar same
Yess same here !!!
Right !!!
Farewell from humanity
we are definitely designed to eat meat and I'll prove it to you. We have FRONT facing eyes like all carnivores whereas herbivores have their eyes on the sides of their heads to look out for predators. We also have incisors and canines and as short as they may be they are still sharp and very much there. Humans have also eaten and cooked meat for hundreds of thousands of years and would therefore obviously evolve into something capable of consuming it. And the fact that we can consume meat at all shows we are not herbivores as herbivores cannot even chew meat let alone digest.Also, carnivores have a stomach ph of 1 and omnivores have 2 to 3. Guess what humans have? 1.5. It's also said that herbivores small intestines are 10 to 12 times longer than their bodies whereas herbivores are only 3 or 4. Humans small intestines are 20 feet long and 20 divided 5 or 6 is most definitely NOT 10 or 12, but 4 or 5. We are definitely all for meat.
That's it, I'm going vegan. Thanks Ed
Are you still vegan?
@@HoldMouseOne Absolutely! And I feel great about not harming animals anymore. I'm glad I found this video.
omg so proud of you!! u r a hero for the animals!
Same here! Best decision ever.
Well done keep going (if you still are) I’m 12 I’ve been vegan for 4 years
Ed, my partner and I have just gone vegan because of your videos. We have always been animal lovers and we have 14 cats! You are so right with what you say about how hypocritical it is to say that you love animals and then support the industry that causes them so much suffering! This video brought me to tears and I want to thank you for helping us to wake up and make the right choice. We love you Ed! Keep doing what you are doing, you are making a change.
OMG that's a lot of cats. You must have a very happy household!
Do your actual research instead of listening to the globalist vegan lies. Plant agriculture destroys the environment and animal habitats WAY more than animal agriculture. Everyone hates factory farming but there are much better ways of farming animals for food which give them fulfilling lives and actually massively improve the environment, restore the soil & provide massive amounts of nutrient-dense animal foods. The push to go meat-free is evil and all part of a control system. Listen to world champion rowing sprinter Doctor Shawn Baker or professor Bart Kay, Doctor Anthony Chaffee etc. Try bringing your kids up vegan and see how quickly they die. Countless couples have done it now & they get what they deserve🤷🏼♂️
you can love animals and still be non vegan, shut up with that nonsense
It's crazy. I am actually angry at my upbringing and myself for being in the situation he described at the start. It's almost unreal feeling how deeply rooted this consumption of animals is in my/our subconscious. I hate it. Thank you for giving me the final nudge in the right direction to fully commit to changing my life and hopefully our reality of animal exploitation. Blessings, dear fellow meateaters. If you want to stop, you can do it! If you are here, you already know you want to do it. Be patient with yourself and understanding. Don't hate yourself and think it's "too late to change"
Ed made me vegan 2 years ago and I've never looked back! Now my two sisters, my dad, and 5 of my friends have gone vegan!! 💚 We will get there one day and Ed is a massive part of that wake up call.
OMGG im so proud of you girly!!!
That's amazing, I'm the only one around
@@rider24ZA I was quite pushy but I only quoted stuff Ed said, and I also made them watch Game Changers and just made out it was a health documentary on tv!! So I was sneaky, but that eradicated the health excuse and especially after the documentary they all said they'd try it. I know it can be so lonely, just remember there are thousands of us out there! Feel free to add me on Facebook Scarlet Gilmour or insta _miss_scarlet_ if you want more contact with other vegans :).

Vegan for 2 years now
No one asked
I happened to find this on TH-cam 4 years ago. This hit me right in the heart and I’ve been vegan ever since.❤
Wow. Wow. Wow. I'm not vegan but this... This was so informative and really showed me how hypocritical and selfish I've been without even realizing it. My boyfriend is vegan and has tried to educate me but I always came up with BS excuses like "I don't have the time" or "it's not convenient" or "my family isn't vegan and I've been eating meat ever since I was little" all for the sake of my taste buds. This speech has really truly opened my eyes. I'm definitely gonna need help but, i wanna make a change. Thank you for this.
Hey there, how is it going for you as of today?
Kayleigh Dolan I went vegan at 15 and I was the only one in my house. If I can do it, you can too! :)
Penguinstudios123 How was it for the rest of your family? I’m a teen who wants to, but my family isn’t going for it.
Thanks for thinking about the poor animals.
@@sofia-uw5dt I'd suggest educate yourself by reading about nutrition (for examples, Becoming Vegan by Davis and Melina and How Not To Die by Dr. Greger) and finding out more about what the animals go through -- pretty much what I think you're doing now.
Workout and look healthy and strong. Don't talk about it unless someone asks you genuine questions. If you feel they are just trolling you, break off the conversation and continue to live a cruelty-free life. You don't have to bring it up at all; someone will eventually get curious and bring it up themselves.
In my own experience, my family still doesn't care about animals, but they no longer challenge me on nutrition because the science is overwhelmingly favourable for a plant-based diet. Plus, they don't look to healthy themseleves. I have however, influenced friends and colleagues to either being vegan or really thinking about what they are doing to animals. This isn't because I bring up the topics; they do! I don't consider myself preachy, and will answer any questions someone that's wants a genuine conversation.
Summary: mostly keep quiet and continue to acquire knowledge and life the healthy and ethical life.
I have been vegetarian all my life. Thanks to you Ed, I am now also a Vegan.
Uday Jain me too brother ! I m also jain

Proud of you brother. We can all do better!

Amazing. More power to you
2 months vegan since watching this speech. Hit the nail on the head with this one, Ed. Getting people to look at the world of animal product consumption from a logical perspective, breaking it down piece by piece instead of guilt tripping the audience. Thank you for helping 100's if not 1000's of people make the change. Best decision I've ever made.
Me and my family had always been meat eaters but when my mother and i watched this we decided to be vegans and eventhough it's only been 4 weeks we're very pleased and proud of the change we made .. all thanks to you so THANK YOU! ❤❤
Wow! That's awesome!
Aimé Fortunato thank you.. it feels amazing you know.. becoming vegan changed my life for good!! Really happy!!
It is not a coincidence that every person that becomes a vegan thinks that it's the best choice, that's because it really is the right thing to do. We're making history, we need to fight for every animal's rights. ♥
How is it going?:)
Im a vegan and this video makes me want to eat a steak.We are omnivores from a biological standpoint,its settled.Today we can supplement thing so its not an issue.
And I think something to realize too is that we're not compromising personal enjoyment or taste by eating plants
the best speech i’ve ever heard. i am already vegan but it shows so clearly why it’s important and convinced me even more :)
I’ve been vegan for a few years now but I still enjoy listening to the way you talk about veganism

I was Vegan for a long time, then started eating cheese, eggs, etc. I've been feeling guilt over it and feeling sick after eating these things. This speech changed me. I'm back to plant based! Thank you, Ed. You are truly a beautiful and compassionate soul! I subscribed. ♥️
My favourite vegan on social media he carries himself so well and educates. He doesn’t get angry or over passionate, he really knows how to educate and make you see a different mind set. So powerful!
Being vegan in Lebanon is rare and all of my friends and family are meat-eaters so i often feel discouraged but thanks to you that changed ❤️
that's how I feel as well but I think most people around me (friend and familey) understand because every now and then I'll drop some vegan arguments ;)
you are so strong for standing up for the animals and the planet, keep it going
Elli loves pizza
Same:) an occasional talk about veganism can plant seeds that will later grow:)
I'm a tunisian so I can relate on so many levels, I've been arguing with my friends and family about it for too long but I'm sticking with it no matter what. I live in Qatar so it's even weirder in there and people see me as if I was an alien as soon as they know about me being vegan lmao
Sally Issa i’m a Lebanese vegan too, and all my friends and families aren’t. Instead of feeling discouraged by that i try showing them how good veganism is and now some of them are considering it too☺️
You're such a wonderful soul 🙏 I support you 💜
I'm pescitarian right now and the thought of veganism has scared me but I think I'm ready to change now, I'll be going vegan.
Good luck! As a new-ish vegan (2 years) my advice is to cut dairy out immediately. It has an addictive hormone called casomorphin that makes it difficult to give up. You've got this 💚
Why though?? Pescatarianism isn’t nearly as harmless to the environment, and fish’s lives aren’t manipulated nor are they suffering their entire lives for it, just the last few seconds..
also to be quite frank I don’t sympathize much with fish as much as I do with mammals, they don’t appear to be as conscious or emotional
@@joudal-hourani6279 it feels like the right decision for me to be vegan. My climate anxiety is ever growing and this is the biggest step I can take to help so therefore I will.
As far as fish and there emotions go I don't want to start arguing, I disagree with you, I think they feel too. Maybe not in the same way as us or mammals but I don't think I'm in any position to judge who's more valid, not when I can choose not to choose and still be fine with it.
Nothing to be scared about. It’s been almost 6 years and I’m still here! Haha anyway, just keep an eye on your protein grams (it gets so easy to do this) and I recommend finding a vegan/organic supplement, just to make sure everything is covered. Choose a basic multi and if it doesn’t include any of these, get a separate supplement for b12, k2, d3, iron, choline, and omega 3/6/9. For omegas, look into Udo’s oil and Barleans. For more tips: VeganKit.com and for vegan ethics: Acti-veg.com (truly amazing site)... thousands of vegan memes for quick reference: MemesForVegans.com
@@sarahneal2102 Yep, that stuff is as addictive as morphine... I recommend Miyoko’s Creamery to help get off of cheese since the mouthfeel and flavor can help trick the brain...
my whole family is vegan and we enjoy eating vegan foods and we all are happy without harming any animal and we also feed stray dogs birds squirrels it's very satisfying
This speech made me go vegan almost 3 years ago. Thank you Ed🙏
Amazing man. You need to do a TED Talk one day.
The Roar Within yesss he should!!!! A (t)ed talk hehe
YESS!!!
I nominated him ! Everyone should do so.
ABSOLUTELY
I filled out the nomination form
I saw this video about a year ago on Facebook and shortly after I went vegan. Holy fuck this is what made me go vegan and I've finally found it again. Lit
This video has opened my eyes to veganism but living under my parent's roof has made it difficult to become vegan but i Will be 18 in a few months and for now i take my time learning how to do it properly so i don't lose weight.
Tall Willowy One I’m so proud of you! I’m currently pescatarian but I’m 14 and live my parents but I want to be vegan too!
I'm in the same boat! @Tall Willowy One and @Bella Lemore' I just went vegetarian a few months ago and my mom was really upset about it but she's begun to get used it and accept it more which I appreciate so much. I hope to go vegan once I move out
Alaina da Costa thank you, and I wish the best for you as well! I have the same plan to become vegan once I move out!
Wow, so amazing to hear that! Is it still working for you?
I'm 16. It's already been a year and a half since I turned vegetarian, a couple of months since I stopped eating dairy, eggs or honey. I have watched lots of the videos in your channel - now that I've watched this whole thing from beggining to end, I think I just turned completely vegan. Like for real, it finished the process, now there's no way back. Thank you :')
I was a person who said I could never go vegan, it’s too hard, yet here I am a strict vegan as I’m described by others. I’d rather eat the paper cup than have cows milk in my coffee. I did it gradually learning about the animal agricultural industry which broke my heart, from 2012 because once you know you know. And like most vegans we wish we’d gone vegan sooner. I’m happier spiritually and healthier, I know that because I was not healthy before. I had IBS, acid reflux, bloating, lethargy, acne, migraines, depression and I was over weight, always going to the doctors but now I can’t remember the last lime I went to see a doctor. So thank you Ed for putting together this TED talk so eloquently. Im looking forward to seeing you at Vegan campout 2022 and dancing to your first DJ set. Stay Awesome🙏🏼💚☺️
I didn't make a lot of good or right choices in my life.
But becoming vegan was by far the best one.
Yes Go Vegan💪☘️
Wrong spelling mate, I think you meant worst
@NATALIA TAN QIAN YUE Moe nah, I made this comment a few days ago, you wanna do this now???!?
@@pangolin1498 how is it a bad decision?
so proud of you!! u are a hero for the animals!
Hard to argue against this.
@darko you misunderstood what he said then. I guarantee you couldn’t argue against this.
@darko it's misleading to state one should have empathy for animals that feel the same pain that humans do and therefore we should not hurt and kill them for food we do not need, which is the baseline of the whole veganism argument?
@darko none of that dissuades me from being anti-speciesist. it's like trying to convince me to be racist or sexist. if an animal that can feel the same pain as me has to experience something that i myself would not want to go through, i want to prevent it from happening as much as possible. argue with the wall.
@darko and about how many animals die when grain/crops are being harvested: i already know some animals die in the process of harvesting. but since so much grain is fed to livestock, ultimately more animals would suffer/die in the process to make meat than the process to make the same amount of grain/crops for human consumption.
@darko all of the words you are using were “made up” at one point; that’s how language works. just because the term i used is relatively new doesn’t mean it is irrelevent or what it refers to doesn’t matter. here, let me put it in simple terms for your malnourished brain: i am against treating other sentient creatures differently/worse just because they happen to be a different species, just as i am against treating other humans differently/worse just because they happen to have different racial traits (racism); i am anti-speciesism. that’s all that matters in the vegan argument to me. again: argue with the wall.
you ONLY eat grass-fed beef?? damn well can’t wait until your “carnivore diet” catches up with you and puts you out of your misery
Amazing. It’s really impressive how you can give such a speech without looking at notes or using filler words
You can see he really cares about his cause.
@@DMp-xp6mj as we all should honestly
Thank you very much for every animal rights activists.

How is it now?^^
@Max Gron look at the animals in person, the planet is dying and this industry is having a huge impact, and preventing reforestation we urgently need, it goes beyond immature scam eds words, he is focussed on manipulating empathy to net him cash ha ha, dumbs it down so its an ethical argument purely on a guilt response not intelligent thoguht.
@Max Gron earth is dying, ed is immature, gets him donations while you all argue immature drivel as the earth dies which will make you cry, do you have the ability to grow food?
My mind was vaguely heading for veganism until I stumbled across this speech and i just went vegan because i got all the answers I'd needed. Thank you!!! I translated this video to korean hoping more people wake up and at least start to think that there can be ethical problems even on our dinner table.

Future generations and the entire non-human animal kingdom thank you!
Nice one, it’s always a good idea to read a couple books on plant nutrition, not really necessary but I found it really interesting to know what nutrients I can get from what plants. But so long as you eat a wide variety of Fruits, Nuts, Seeds, Legumes, Grains, Green Leafy, and Root Veg, and try to eat at least 30-40% Raw food etc and make sure you have a B12 source. I have always got mine from a Savoury Spread( I use Yeast Extract) such as Yeast Extract, Natex, Marmite, Vegemite etc all have good amounts of B12. Our bodies can store a few days ( I think it’s about a week) of B12 so no need to get it every day, I use Yeast Extract in many ways, in Gravy, on toast, as a Hot Winter Savoury drink, in homemade Pâtés etc.
how's it going? :))
@@Kiyarose3999 Pay attention to vitamin A. Not everyone's digestive tract can turn provitamin A into vitamin A
this speech still is one of the most detailed and precise one i've ever heard. you need only about the first 3 minutes to understand veganism. i wish it would be available in german to reach an even wider audience.
I'm returning 3 years after I watched this. True masterpiece of a speech!!! ❤❤❤
This came up on a video as an advert that had no relevance to what I wanted to watch. I was waiting for the countdown before I could skip and saw the length of the video and thought 'I could never watch the whole of that'. However, there was just something about you that made me want to carry on watching and I ended up viewing the entire video. It was so hard hitting and I even started to cry a little at one point but everything you said is so true. I don't eat meat very often because if I do, I have to force myself not to think about the fact that I'm actually eating an animal. Having watched this video, I think it's time that I make a change.
Rio Tobias Deacon I live in Texas and had the pleasure of meeting him last night giving this speech, as part of his Texas Tour. I'll also have the opportunity to go to an animal vigil, a rodeo protest and work in a Sanctuary, all part of the events he's attending here in our area. He is amazing and I'm so grateful he's helping, in such respectful manner, to spread this powerful message. I was vegetarian for 10 years, for the animals, little did I know I wasn't helping much...animals were still dying to end on my plates. I finally opened my eyes and went vegan 6 1/2 years ago. I'll be vegan for life and the only thing we can ever regret is not doing it before. Animals, the Planet, and humanity can't wait for too long. We have to be part of the change. If you haven't watched Earthlings, I highly recommend it. For your health watch What the Health,and for environmental reasons Cowspiracy.
So happy you stopped to watch this video!
Thank you for your response, I still haven't had meat! My family have been supportive which is great although I think they are concerned as to what I'll eat at Christmas 😂 but I'm very happy with my choice to give it up, I didn't eat it very often anyway so it came to me easily ☺

Just great. Very structured way of thinking, love it. There's no Argument to justify using an animal for our needs. There is no need.
Great stuff. I am Mormon and we have a cool scripture that tells us to eat meat only in times of famine. I am working my way towards veganism because i feel what we are doing to God’s creatures is pure evil.

I do keep forgetting that I’m going vegan though, and eat dairy only to remember in the midst of eating it. I always ask myself, what was the cost of my forgetfulness?

I know it's hard to see others continue with their willful ignorance when you have discovered something life changing. They may come to the realization in their own time and in their own way. Until then just know that you are showing them how to make compassionate choices with every meal you eat.
@adeline please show them these videos...
And it doesn't get easier. That part continues to get harder the more ignorant people become. Being vegan hurts your heart so often but we are doing the right thing and people like Ed can give us the tools to make the arguments for change.
@@nikhaarsehgal7358 or some of the videos from Milton Mills about how our bodies are not designed to eat meat, or Dr. Neal Barnard, who takes about how we are destroying our health with our obsession with eating the flesh, and other produce, of animals.
Who else is still listening to this king in 2021
Here!
My big lie was that I needed eggs and dairy to get enough protein, but it really was just a damn lie. I was just being lazy. I feel so much better not having those animals' lives weighing on my personal conscious anymore.
Uhm...
Coconut milk.
Ηθικότατο.
Please tell me how to get 160gs of protein a day

2022 is my 10th year as a vegan! So glad I made that choice!
I'm soo happy for you! So much positive feedback on this video, I live it! Thank you for changing the world to be better
Amazing
Dies ist eine sehr überzeugende Rede. Ich lebe seit fast zehn Jahren vegan. Aber diese Rede bestätigt meine Wahl erneut.
