“Animals don’t understand they’re going to die” death is the one thing every creature knows it must avoid. The point of life is surviving. Every animals goal is to live
@@mr.mayonnaise5488 child in practical sense , if you 40 year old and ask your mom ,"mommy !wont pigs mom feel bad that we are eating it " , you are a child 😂 And yes , correcting grammar makes u even worse
King_Omar_Dos how could you not, if you don't care for the morality aspect of it then how about the environment? Surely you care about the environment you live in right? You realize that the dairy and meat industries is a large factor of the ecosystem being destroyed because so many animals are going extinct. Also theres the argument about your health
King_Omar_Dos You don't care about the environment??? Lmao you do realize that if the environment gets too damaged (ecosystem gets destroyed) human life can't survive. I mean if you don't care about any other life, at least you can be selfish enough to care about yours right??? And yes scientists are literally screaming at the public that 30%-50% percent of animals will be extinct by the half of this century if we continue at the rate we're going. Large part of the problem is dairy and meat industry. And if that many animals go extinct, you bet your ass our ecosystem will be fucked. Don't you wanna help us to fix that problem???
King_Omar_Dos ??? oh dear lord lol. If any vegan activists were to see your comment their minds would explode. And scientists would also agree thats not true. And in case your not sure, I'm not talking about farm animals going extinct. Farmers wouldn't let that happen because they wouldn't wanna lose their business. Farmers practice cattle grazing which is the cattle eating the grass off the land. However over time with human population density the land eventually gets degraded and exhausted. So farmers go out and find new land to graze, which means they gotta destroy natural habitats, cut down trees etc. Leads to extinction of species
King_Omar_Dos Just research on google like endangered species. How the different natural habitats are being affected by humans. Look into what are all the different factors of species extinction. And you'll find that a large part of the problem is the dairy and meat industry. You should find plenty of case studies regarding it. I think its very important that you look into this because this will effect you in your life, as it will also effect the rest of us.
Because idiots are screaming at vegatarian and meat eaters, oh wait, those idiots are vegans. I'm surprised and glad for vegans who don't shove it down other's throats, but m also never being vegan is because you don't really eat anything. I don't eat meat but I get eggs from free chickens who are treated like royalty and have their eggs checked to see if they have babies. And I get milk from it the same way.
Im a meat lover, meaning I love the taste, the smell and the comfort it gives me. That said, I went vegan a year ago and I did the damn thing. My comfort does not come before my ethics, and climate change and the destruction of our precious rainforests is not something we should be fking ignoring any longer.
This from 2014: vegetarians and vegans are not without blame for their food choices. We carnivores eat meat and animal fat, not this rubbish. And climate change has long ago been debunked, so stop harping on a fallacy: it makes you sound as stupid as you look.
@@keithtaylor3347 Climage change has long been debunked? By whom? It is the exact OPPOSITE of debunked, it is more proven than ever and we are seeing very real consequences today. The North fking Pole just had record breaking heat a few days ago, so go fuck yourself with your propaganda.
Parker DW actually it wasn’t the North Pole , it was a town in Siberia that’s on the very edge of the arctic circle (artic circle is 500miles North of Uk) and this town has summer Average temperatures of 22 degrees , England has 20 degrees average and hits 38 in summer easily, it’s just over hyped media the North Pole wasn’t 38 degrees it was a fucking European town that is warm in the summer anyway stop buying into everything you see
@@parkerdinhwilliams15 The climate change propaganda is just another panic tactic used by certain elements that want to push a scare agenda. The climate is ALWAYS changing: there was a period dubbed "the little ice age" (Google it) between the 13th and 16th centuries, when most of Europe underwent a period of lower temperatures than had been experienced before. As we don't really have records going all the way back to then, we have to rely on certain evidence supplied by scientists and NASA. I won't dispute that Earth MAY be warming -but we in South Africa have experienced some record LOWS this winter and who can say with utmost certainty that it is caused by human activities? It could just as well be caused by natural cycles we have yet to understand. Relying too much on what one hears on the news is no way to form a coherent understanding of what is going on: I discovered that some 50 years ago, when I had just entered my second decade of life. If you don't like what I have to say, I really don't care: you can live your silly little life any way you want. I will live mine as I please and there is not much you or anyone else can do about it. As for what you suggested I do with my "propaganda", I wish you the same and I can even be so kind as to send you a few segments of jointed cactus, the more to enjoy the experience.
I was raised on a farm too and the animals totally know what's going on during slaughter. They hear, smell, and understand. They were raised in pastures and complete free range, but it all ended the same way. Growing up knowing the facts of farming led to me being vegan now.
My aunts raise cattle and I was conflicted because I spent a summer working with them and the cattle seemed fine (they sold the cattle to slaughter houses I think) but your right, they do end up in the same place
A month ago I was a meat-eater struggling w/ weight, now 100% vegan, weight coming down nicely and feeling more energetic. What the health was the catalyst.
A lion could kill you if given the chance. However if you wanted to you could hunt and kill the lion, putting your on top of the food chain. Just interpreting the statement for people who lack logic
Domenik have you heard of guns? Have you heard of Maasai Warriors, who only have spears. Mans knowledge has put humans on the top of the food chain. Some of these vegan points are purely idiotic.
Nick Rouse Eating animal flesh out of the supermarket is no food chain And we simply don’t need it to survive.. And it’s massively destroying the earth, more than anything else. If you eat them we all die as well
Sallie Andrea same here I still get triggered specially when people say but I like bacon , it's so childish to overlook the cruelty just because you like something
alexia white its just so frustrating when you have all the information in your head to tell them but like when you open your mouth you just sound like a potato 😂😂 but hopefully with time we can all improve and maybe turn so non vegans
It's because your ego is letting veganism be a part of your identity, so when someone talks shit about veganism, you take it as a personal attack. Take a step back and detatch from the lable, be present, observe and the answers will come to you.
Yea. Religion is used to justify violence towards animals and consuming them. Without the socially accepted cult, they cannot justify their shitty mindset and meat eating lifestyle.
@@anahata3478 These are the animals you may eat: the ox, the sheep, the goat, the deer, the gazelle, the roebuck, the wild goat, the ibex,the antelope, and the mountain sheep.

And all winged insects are unclean for you; they shall not be eaten. All clean winged things you may eat. Peter went up on the roof to pray. He became hungry and wanted something to eat, and while the meal was being prepared, he fell into a trance. He saw heaven opened and something like a large sheet being let down to earth by its four corners. It contained all kinds of four-footed animals, as well as reptiles and birds. Then a voice told him, “Get up, Peter. Kill and eat.”
animals do understand life and death, it's their instinct to avoid death, that's why animals run from predators because they know they need to avoid it
Some random dude it's still being scared and wanting to avoid death. All living beings want to live, we are biologically wired to fight to live in life threatening situations.
Good for you! If you make the change it will be life-changing. I have never felt so energetic in my life. I've never had such good vascularity and my skin has never been clearer than it has after going vegan. Plus you can make a positive change for the world with your investment choices while not supporting big slaughter business

@fUgAoOgA fUgAoOgA Yes and No. Everyone is a liar, vegan or not. Ed is a compulsive liar, he lies to justify veganism, he will make you feel bad, guilty and hate yourself if you are not vegan, he isn't a very nice person. (Most people in the world, vegan or not don't get the nutrients they require) a grain/wheat diet is the worst of all.
"The teeth in the front of our mouth are for cutting meat." Okay then, stop using a knife and fork to eat your meat, just use your mouth, since that's apparently what it's designed for.
Ayyy lmao - That's not the argument vegans are making. We're simply exposing the weakness in the argument that one HAS to use a body part for its designated function. A person pointing to their canines when someone asks why they've eaten an animal is akin to a person pointing to their crotch whenever a cop asks why they sexually assaulted a woman. The reality is that canines are designed to bite into fibrous fruit & veggies, they're not sharp enough to tear into flesh. So yeah I actually CAN eat plants like vegetables and fruits without a fork or knife. So either way, your argument becomes moot.
I think we're carrying this teeth in the front versus molars a little too far. We have no idea what the first humans teeth looked like. All of our teeth are for chewing and grinding
Christina Smith tells me would you help someone that you don’t know being beat on the street? Probably not lmao animals aren’t humans, you probably care more about animals than humans because you’re a stupid fuck.
Joe Warren no because humans are literally above animals, you can say that’s fucked up but can animals speak? change the world? Go to space? Create and solve equations? No they can’t so you sound dumb as hell.
I hate when people make the “our canines are for eating meat” argument. Even horses have canines, but they don’t go around hunting and eating other animals

Keith Taylor a few odd cases of herbivores eating meat doesn’t mean that’s what the species has to do to survive. Even if horses needed meat to survive, they cannot use their canines for that purpose. They would use their molars to chew just how they chew plants. They are not in the right spot. And that’s not my name:/
@@mariahlynn7759 I addressed this very subject 3 weeks ago. Meat-eating among herbivores is much more common than you think: I have personally witnessed it on many occasions in a wide variety of herbivorous animals. In some, it may be about 10%, but in others it goes up to 25% and more. Get into the bush and see for yourself.
Keith Taylor I spend most my life outside with animals. I’m just trying to say that it’s not like they depend on meat to live. I’ve seen many cases of herbivores eating other animals. On accident and on purpose. Whether it be deer eating baby birds or a horse eating a baby chick. It happens. But it’s not key for their survival unless they’re in a desperate situation. I guess you can also count the numerous amount of bugs they eat as well. But they still do not use their canines for such behaviors. They’d chew the critters like they chew plants lol
I love you dude, I wish we could be friends in real life. Please keep doing this, you are inspiring and your demeanor really helps to bring others to veganism. You are real and truthful.
My moms boyfriend has been a butcher before and he even still cuts meat to this day. He says that they show you the worst part in those slaughterhouse videos, "just give them a crack to the skull and they're dead". He says this as if thats just okay. All i did was stare at him. I actually cant comprehend how someone thinks thats okay and that these animals dont fear for their lives.
I don't think there's anything passive-aggressive about Ed. It just seems so when he is being logical and empathic at the same time and has to deal with the death of common sense like in the video
Your BRAIN is made up of CHOLESTEROL which is ONLY available from eating ANIMALS. , so is your HEART, liver and other organs. Cholesterol is used to make TESTOSTERONE AND ESTROGEN as well as proving ESSENTIAL cellular functioning. If fact, low CHOLESTEROL LEVELS can even lead to SUICIDE. PLANTS provide ZERO CHOLESTEROL, and you need it EVERY DAY . Read the article published by your LIBERAL HARVARD EDU newsletter - If your brain has enough cholesterol left to read with - Seems YOU are the stupid one. Then read the rest of the reasons you cannot live without meat. (I googled it for you because you didnt) www.health.harvard.edu/newsletter_article/cholesterol-the-mind-and-the-brain Vegans rate of SUICIDE is 33% HIGHER than general population. www.humanewatch.org/new-evidence-suggests-link-between-vegetarianism-and-depression/ BEYOND MEAT and other veggie burgers have ANIMAL FAT listed as an ingredient as well as CANCER CAUSING INGREDIENTS AND LAXATIVES.

So how do you fertilize the plants without animal fertilizer. You can use ARTIFICIAL FERTILIZER made from PETROLEUM - Yes, that is what MONSANTO uses to make fertilizer. GASOLINE !!! YES, you are eating veggies made from GASOLINE. Our CO2 levels are at 400 ppm, they used to be at 4,000 ppm. Did you know that PLANTS DIE when CO2 levels reach 300. How do you explain loving plants, wanting to use them for your ONLY food source - Yet you INSIST that we must kill the FOOD PLANTS EAT - THEY EAT CO2 and kick out Oxygen. If the PLANTS DIE we die too because we will have no OXYGEN!!! YOU PEOPLE ARE SOOO STUPID. - ENJOY DUMBO!!! Go getta burger and SHADDUP - Let SMART MEN rule the earth before you destroy it.
@@fladave99 Did you actually read the full article you cited above (the Health.Harvard one)? Because I just did and it doesn't back up a single claim you are making, in fact it's doing quite the opposite...

You know body smell? That smell of your sheets when you haven't changed them soon enough. Or that smell of wet, oily hair? Combine that with a faint smell of blood, and that is what chicken smells like, to me. I've never eaten it. To me, who didn't grow up eating meat, I have no 'natural' hunger for meat. It stinks. It reeks of body odors camuflaged with plant spizes.
Does that really make a difference? GOD wanted a sacrifice of MEAT, which is the reason He "had not respect" for Cain's offering of "the fruit of the ground". Numbers 28 and 29 details how many rams, lambs and bullocks He demands every year as offerings. He also laid out in Deuteronomy 14 and Leviticus 11 "the beasts that ye shall eat". Notice please: not "ye MAY eat", but "ye SHALL eat". You WILL eat the "flesh" of these animals: You have to ask yourself whether God's commands have less importance than your choices.
@@lauradusty7880 That was before the fall. After Adam and Eve were thrown out of the garden, God made rules for them to follow, because He could not trust them (us) to behave themselves (ourselves).
@@keithtaylor3347 that happened after Adam and Eve were tossed out on their asses. Before that they were allowed to eat of any tree in the garden of Eden. Death is the price of sin and therefore it did not exist until after the original sin. Blood sacrifices were a way to atone for your sins, it' was supposed to be a punishment, instead we made it a bbq. However, Jesus dying on the cross took away the need for blood sacrifices. So no God does not command anyone to eat meat, at least not anymore.
@@CorporealGinger It's your prerogative to believe anything you like. If you think that your sins are atoned for, by all means go for it. I have yet to find any text in which Jesus says something like: "Okay now: I've come to relieve you of the burdens of the sins of the past, so you can, from now on, ignore all the old rules and regulations my father laid down and just try to behave yourselves." The problem with Christians (and no doubt other followers of the Bible or its predecessors) is that they INTERPRET what they read, instead of taking it at face value. I have studied Genesis 1 to 5 for more than forty years - I have not gone beyond that, because in the "begat" verses nothing significant seems to have happened for between a quarter and a third of the history of the ancient Hebrews. A few isolated incidents are mentioned, but nothing of great moment - and I have found that the current interpretation is severely lacking. For instance, in verse 2 of Genesis 1 we are told that "darkness was on the face of the deep". How could this darkness be distinguished BEFORE God said "Let there be light"? What was the nature of that "first" light he called forth and did He switch it off again after he made the sun, moon and stars - on the FOURTH day? If they (the readers and interpreters of the Bible) haven't noticed something so simple, then what makes you think they (and you) can understand anything else that is written there?
The Lemberg I'm so proud of you! He's one person who made me go Vegan over night 9 months ago along with few others. :) It's nice to talk to him as well when I can via here or on my Twitter (WhiskurMew). Have a lovely day!
My friend worked in an abattoir for 3 days and he said he witnessed a cow being killed he said the cow was agitated because he believed the cow could smell the blood there , he also said the cow looked right at him as if to say I know what's coming . They know exactly what's going on !
You can’t see looking into an animals eyes that they r scared. You tell by there behavior. Ed is the biggest idiot I wish I could have a debate with him.
Jt Brumagim he is a guy trying to make the worl better by stopp eating meat, if it was no order for farm animals noone would breed them and they would die out.
Hi Dominic, False. Look up your second statement. Also, you must recognize the role many religions play in third world countries in respecting life as sacred.
i am a meat eater and watching ed makes me want to become vegan genuinely. also makes me hate the idea that i come off as being put in the group of dumb uneducated meat eaters.

You are just trying to enter a stupid cult (veganism) , the fact that you are inspired by ed's videos only makes him a good influencer but not righteous or practical , I dont mean to say he is bad ,but he is just illogical and manipulative in making you believe that you lived wrong so far , veganism is run by emotions with no practical benefit , you will be making everyone around you uncomfortable , if you are "I dont care what other think " kind of person , rest is left to your maturity 👍

my man. idk how i came across your channel, but there's no argument in my head anymore. if you love animals, and you still eat them, you're a hypocrite plain and simple (which i have been all my life). i'm vegan a few weeks now. in my mind i'm being morally sound, bettering the environment, and i'm feeling physically way more energetic and healthier than ever. thank you Ed. if anyone needs ideas for what to eat in a day as a vegan, check out derek simnett, he's a vegan nutritionist youtuber who does tons of "what i eat in a day" videos and he's been vegan a long time. also, the happy pear are great for ideas as well! thank me later guys!
I started watching your channel and instantly turned vegan. Vegan for one month which means I've saved 30 animals! I really want to become involved in campaigning but it doesn't seem that there are many groups in my area although I'll be moving down to England next year so I'll join a group very soon! Thank you again so much for opening my eyes ♥️
Thank you for making this video! It is beneficial, as you suggested. For instance, I didn’t know that 75% of animals are vegan. That stat is something that really stuck out to me, and I’ll definitely remember it. It was also nice to catch a glimpse of your personality and see you smile! I’m a new vegan (4 months); so I’m still in the learning phase. I’m trying to get as educated as I can by watching documentaries, speeches, and TH-cam videos before I get out there to do any activism. Keep up the great work you’re doing!
ILive2Rescue Hey that's awesome! I'm also researching to find out lots before I do any actual activism, although I think I'm almost ready to begin advocating!!
Activism can be horrible. Don't do the ones where you go into family restaurants with people just trying to enjoy a nice meal, and don't block traffic. Those people are the biggest idiots.
I became vegan in 2017 after hearing from my doctor that I needed to be tested for anemia. This scared the shit out of me as I did not want to be held back from life in any way. So I researched and discovered all the flaws in eating animals. After about a week of vegetarianism, I became vegan. Along with the mountains of of information about health benefits of veganism, my eyes were opened to the hidden truths about animals. Everything about my life has improved because I am no longer participating in the murder of innocent beings. I am also not anemic. I encounter the same pointless arguments. Ultimately, I'm still surprised that people even try to debate vegans. Every day brings me into a new discovery whole researching my veganism. We vegans know more about "meat eaters" than meat eaters know about themselves or our choices. Thank you for the video!
So true. Advertising is the chief source of information meat eaters get about the diet, I know, I once ate meat, like yourself. You can scour the net for vegan hater channels who spew up the same dozen flawed theories, in favour of animal slaughter and diet, its amazing how many meat eaters go and memorise them and parrot them in troll like fashion on every vegan site. Usually from a deep sense of guilt about what they're doing. You often cant look at it clearly and rationally til you're out of it, it's like a cult.
I still feel so much guilt for EVER having eaten meat in my past. 6 years vegan now but I still look back and feel this deep pain in my heart for the lives I took. I am so lucky to have woken up to the suffering I was needlessly causing to these wonderful creatures and I genuinely hope that others can come over to a plant based lifestyle. Thankfully both of my young children have been raised vegan and I hope they will go on to spread the message of compassion to others they meet 💚🌱 The future is green and everyone is welcome! Great video Ed, as always :)
Natalie Du Jardin i know the feeling. as a small child I was very compassionate toward animals and even refused to eat flesh when I found out it was from murdered animals. somewhere along the way I let the psychosis of others corrupt my innate conscience. that is what I find most abhorrent of all.
Guilt is such a useless emotion to hang on to, it doesn't serve us in any way. Just recognise you were ignorant of the knowledge at the time and you are doing the animals a massive service raising your children as vegan and I'm sure the consequences of that will be immense beyond what we can forsee. Much love to you are yours 💚🙏
Our “canines” (which are actually called bicuspids) are for popping open nuts and seeds, and gripping harder vegetation before slicing it with our incisors. Our molars are flat and broad for chewing tough fibres and jaws move side to side and up and down. Like herbivores. We are herbivorous animals and were only ever supposed to be opportunistic when we did scavenge meat. We were at the end of the food chain the whole time, never at the top. Our ancestors even waited for the vultures to pick a carcass clean before we sidled up and used rocks to get bone marrow out. But the majority of the Homo Habulis diet, Homo Aghasta, and Homo Erectus...? It was plants. Roots, seeds, nuts, fruits, tubers, and leaves. When early Homo sapiens adopted the idea of growing things, our gut bacteria and enzymes were comfortable to make the small shift to utilise easier starchy sugars for producing energy and protein alongside the amino acids we already acquired from leafy greens. How do I know all this? My sister went to Durham and studied Anthropology, and as a family we are biologists and historians in nature... ^_^ we read. We research. So anyway that’s why all my clever family are now vegans in light of the clear benefits and natural historical evidence.
@@stephaniefarris5461 I have had doctors and veterinary surgeons give me advice which, had I taken it, would have left me minus my right thumb and one of my dogs minus a leg.

Many "scientists" pay a lot of money to be "educated" - I received mine from the countless books I have read, many of them in Public Libraries in Johannesburg, Cape Town, Bloemfontein and many smaller towns like Venterstad, Ladybrand and others - however, strangely, not in Durban! I have shown academic scientists' learning to be in error far too many times for me to trust them, so that I simply don't - trust them, I mean. Ask your sister to explain to you why it is that I cured my angina pectoris by eating meat and animal fat and why my wife's arthritis disappeared when she stopped using plant-based oils and margarine. She replaced them with animal fat and butter. That was about two years ago and she has not had a recurrence. I eat meat and fat only and five years ago I recovered from an ischaemic stroke after eating some cooked green beans, which resulted in the loss of motor control in my right side, with no medical intervention, but using my own intuitive regimen. It took three weeks for me to gain full recovery, by adding extra fat to my diet. I now eat around 8 kg of fat per month: that is more than 250 g per day.

You put children at petting zoos, what do they do? Surely not play with them and feed them. They all just run around taking bites out of whichever animal they can get their paws on? O.o
Brandon Edwards lol. A lot of things suggest that an omnivorous diet isn't what's best for us. Not even only health-wise. But also how it's a major contributor to global warming and I think we all can say we enjoy being alive, and want our future generations to not suffer the consequences we could not simply stop because people 'enjoyed the taste' of.. Cancer. And animal abuse. I wasn't even suggesting that to be the only reason based on why we should stop eating animals, but ok lol, that was just in response of his first hate comment.
Brandon Edwards Also, we're literally not those people in tribes. We're civilized and more developed. We're weirdos sitting on the Internet, comparing ourselves to completely different beings with outdated practices they RESORTED to for survival, supporting the mass breeding of trillions of animals and deforestation to waste an extensive amount of grain on those animals because there were people in the past who have done it to survive, just as they've done with incest. Are you also suggesting that is healthy and okay too? Also, since you're an expert, what is their average lifespan? Probably not very long. 🤔
Brandon Edwards Just thought you should know almost 3 million people in Kenya face starvation. The world produces enough crops in a year to feed 10-11 billion people but a significant portion of those crops are fed to animals in factory farms. We could end world hunger if everyone stopped consuming meat.
The proof you requested is in Genesis 9:3 "...Every moving thing that liveth shall be meat for you; even as the green herb have I given you all things." Notice the wording: EVERY moving thing that lives ... meaning ALL animals, birds, fishes, crustaceans etc., and also plants. Moses would later make certain exceptions to this rule. He did not STOP the people eating meat, but told them which they could freely eat. Leviticus 11:1 onward and Deuteronomy 14: 3 - 21. If you want to use God in your argument, at least know what the hell you're talking about.
@@kurtcruz8968 Aaron Merkel asked for proof. He got it from the only popular source in which the idea of the Western version of God is mentioned. I am not intimating that it is reliable, but the "creation" part, if read with open eyes and mind, provides a very coherent narrative of a beginning. Not necessarily THE beginning, but a NEW beginning. It has all the hallmarks of the recovery of Earth after a major catastrophe or "extinction event".
Keith Taylor It still isn’t a reliable source, therefore, cannot be solid proof. Every religion believes they are the true religion, your religion isn’t more correct than other religions/ideas. That’s a way to look at things with a closed off mindset.

I have NO religion, but that does not mean that I do not know enough about many of them to be able to counter the arguments of those who DO pursue these philosophies.

Why not: we are tampering with cloning and Artificial Intelligence - it might just be a feature of ALL intelligent species to strive to create something "in their own image". We don't know enough to be able to state with certainty that any of the ideas about the origin of life are true: we can only speculate.

Humans are the most developed species on Earth but we have abused our knowledge. Other creatures aren't as aware as we are but we should still share the earth with them, not take advantage of them.
especially since our fellow animals are completely in our hands and we have all the power to do them no harm, but we go out of our way to destroy them when they've done absolutely nothing to us
Lydia, in what way are humans the most developed species on the planet? If you're referring to being the most dominant (not necessarily a good thing nor sign of intelligence) then I can't argue that, but if you're referring to developed brains or minds or consciousness, what gives you the authority to assess this? When people think that they're more consciously aware or more intelligent than non-human animals, they're rounding up all the species on planet earth (many of which we don't even know exist), and deciding that from THEIR perspective and THEIR short period of experience here and THEIR values and THEIR priorities that THEIR species is the most developed... Do you not see a flaw or perhaps a bias in that way of thinking? The secret to wisdom, is humility. Your statement that other animals are not as aware as your species is as ignorant and offensive as when Europeans said that the Indigenous of North America or Australia and so on were not as aware, for example. You have no authority to make such a broad assessment of anyone else and that way of thinking has been an ugly pattern throughout history and speciesism is the root of it; speciesism is the root of the belief that those who look differently or act differently or communicate differently are somehow less than in one or various ways. It's such an unthoughtful thing to say... it's completely coming from a place of your own perspective. Literally anyone else... anyone, could say the same exact thing about you. I could say that you're not as aware as me or your grandmother was not as aware as my grandmother because *insert some difference here*... there's no logic, it's complete nonsense to say the least. It is the mother of prejudice. I assure you, that at the very least, non-human animals are as aware as human beings.
LOL, dear God NO... no I do not. First of all, humans do not all equally have the same level of intellect, some are vastly superior/inferior to others. I think humans have an intellect specific to HUMANS which enables us to do a great many of things for better or for worse... How we choose to use this ability I believe speaks very loudly of one's personal intellectual level. You've never seen a cow develop a pyramid... ok, so AGAIN you're measuring intellect and advancement through your OWN set of priorities and ideas of what intelligence means... To say the least, that is an extremely flawed way of thinking. Consider this... what if man's idea of intelligence is completely skewed? That might actually explain why our species is so devastating to this planet and all life on it including our own. Lastly, have you or anyone you've known developed a pyramid or a space shuttle? ....Didn't think so. So then why are you taking the capabilities of specific human individuals and applying them to you and everyone you know? Maybe you could do those things, I don't know... but do you get my point?
Thank you Ed I needed this today. I know your busy with outreach, but after many many social media arguments today is one of those days when the activism drains my soul. This was a very nice laugh, and very calming to hear your voice. Your replies are always so logical & so calm. You handled them very eloquently. Love you !
I love this💕 Ed destroys any argument in the most calm and logical fashion. I would love to be able to be like this, but I know it just takes practice and the will to stay strong and calm in the face of the most ridiculous, nonsensical arguments. I strive to be more like Ed in everything I do honestly. He'a an amazing person and I'm sooo happy I found this channel. 💕
Christians who say that God gave us animals to eat must go and read the book of Genesis. Genesis 1:29-39: Then God said, "Look! I have given you every seed-bearing plant throughout the the earth and all the fruit trees for your food. And I have given every green plant as food for all the wild animals, the birds in the sky and the small animals that scurry along the ground- everything that has life." Note that God gives us PLANTS to eat, not animals. In Genesis 1:26 God orders us to "Reign over the fish in the sea, the birds in the sky, and all the animals that scurry along the ground." God has ordered man to Reign and Protect over the animals as he Reigns and Protects over us. God gives us "dominion" over animals which means that we should protect and care for them.I also think Christians should question whether it glorifies and brings God joy when we mistreat and misuse the animals that He has created. God created animals to live in harmony with us and worship Him. Being vegan is not unbiblical or dishonoring to God. I believe that by choosing not to eat animals l am worshiping God by respecting His creation. I believe that we can bring Glory to God by not eating animals.
David Amaral Yes. Once God came and wiped out the sinful people who were judged in the flood, He told the righteous people to go ahead and eat meat from that point on. (Gen. 9:3)
Our bodies are literally not made to eat meat. . _. bruh a bunch of other herbivores in the animal kingdom have HUGE canines and they are not used to tear meat apart. As well as the fact that we can't properly digests raw meat anyway since our body's pH is too alkaline compared to real omnivores.( like literally our bodies are way more similar to other herbivores than omnivores)
jhcgg nbftuvc that was good in a survival situation where calories is the only dietary priority. We’d eat pure refined sugar water in the wild if that was the most dense calorie source
The omnivore foodchain: A pig is born and grows up. When it’s big enough, it gets slaughtered and packed into plastic. These packages then get delivered to a supermarket. The omnivore goes to the supermarket, takes the meat, pays, takes it home, puts it on the grill and eats it. That doesn’t really sound like a real foodchain😂
Ed you are a saint. The way you handle hate and primitive non-vegans with so much patience and calm is just amazing. I would‘ve started raging long ago... keep it up
My son is developmentally disabled. Every time I hear the argument that animals don’t understand things like we do so, they deserve to die, I wonder how they feel about people like my son. He doesn’t speak the language we do. He doesn’t understand things the way other people do. That does not make his life any less worthy.
for your debate, humans are not omnivores, we are anatomically & physiologically vegetarians. we have some capacity to digest a small amount of meat opportunistically solely for its calorific content in a starvation situation, our alimentary canal is way too long & meat effectively rots inside us.
Thank you for your work. I am a vegan from Switzerland and i am regularly speaking about veganism around me. Step by step, more and more people are going vegan. I am sure that veganism is the future for a peacefull humanity. Thank you again for your commitment ; you're right.
I live in a house full of meat eaters and animal product consumers apart from me. I am 14 years old and find it very difficult to sit around the table and eat with my family who have meat with EVERY meal. I have tried to persuade them many times to not eat meat and try and cut down on it but they don't listen. I try telling them how horrorifically animals are treated and they just laugh and say it's nonsense and that we are not allowed to treat animals like that. My parents refuse to buy me almond milk as they say it's too expensive and I should just drink milk like the rest of them and be normal. I don't know what to do. I still love them but I don't respect them at all :(
+Well That Was Random - Trying to persuade people to make reasonably large lifestyle changes is never going to be easy! Have you tried introducing things slowly rather than out and out trying to get them to stop eating meat? Why not offer to cook for the family once a week? Or once or fortnight? It's a good starting point! As for the not wanting to buy you almond milk. I'd use the "health benefits" angle. Tell them you're worried you're not getting enough calcium and explain that one serving of almond milk contains 30% of your RDA. And remember, you want something from them so always be polite, even if they're not, if you lose your temper you'll be much less likely to get what you want...
Omg I feel really bad for you... I'm 12 and went vegan about half a year ago. Luckily, my family is way more open to my lifestyle than yours... my mum buys me almonds milk and all that stuff, and things like egg replaces. Sadly though, none of my family IS vegan, but there are one or two vegetarians in the household. I wish you luck with your family! 🙂
This is such an interesting way to get my head around valid arguments I can use when people throw their opinions and questions at me. I'm new to veganism after having battled with my conscience for far too long and a friend caused a switch to flick in my head and now I see it as black and white. All of your counter arguments are so calm and logical. Thank you, you're doing a wonderful jobxxx
I believe in higher power but this is honestly a mood, LOL. I find it terribly strange that human can do the sickest thing in the name of God. Does God personally tell you to do so that you feel morally obliged to do something cruel? God certainly doesn't do that.
Look at this foolish statement. If God dont exist why is this world so complex beyond human understanding . Why are we living does this life have a purpose. If you think of these questions you realise the creator is the one you should submit to and nobody else
Daniel Quintero they are afraid of their lifestyles being challenged, their logic doesn't work and that scares them. idk why that makes them spew more nonsense tho 😂
Ed I absolutely love how calm, informed, and well spoken you are. You are the perfect face for veganism and I’m so grateful you’re doing what you’re doing. I love how when I first transitioned, my family would argue “well one person can’t change things so what’s the point”, but you’re a perfect example of someone that defies that. Anyway, enough flattery 😂. Keep doing what you’re doing and I cant wait to see the impact we’ll see down the road ❤️
This man is goals. 👍🏼 I wish I could keep my cool half as much as Ed does, he’s a real role model for anyone who wants to learn how to debate calmly and logically.
It's purely fascinating how you're able to be so calm and not even slightly provocated by this horrendeous ignorance and anti-vegan agression. I get tired so fast listening over and over again how our bodies "require meat and dairy" and there's no fuel left to explain people who aren't ready to listen to why I'm vegan and why it's an astonishing movement. I really admire your activictic work.
Tbh both can be for peace it isn't about what you eat it about your personality And before someone says yeah but you eat animals Guess what your killing plants tbh it doesn't matter what you eat as long as your happy with it
wow that second comment, animals know when they are going to die! you can see the terror in their eyes and the sadness as they watch their family be killed.
I don't know how you don't have millions of subscribers. You're so intelligent and I watch your videos when I'm pissed off about how illogical peoples arguments are about veganism lol
@@GutGains But it shouldnt be should it? If you have a rationale rebuttal stooped in logic, morality and intelligence, it shouldnt be easy to strawman, right? Perhaps you're getting truth and ideology mixed up.
fazal ihtisham Start with picking your grocery list for three days: rices for stir fries, gluten free pasta and can of pasta sauce (to last a couple meals), cooked beans like garbanzo (for rice or salad) and black beans (add to pasta or soups), and some variety of root veggies for soup with canned tomatoes, add mixed frozen veggies and fresh chopped kale to each of these dishes/recipes for both lunches and dinners. For breakfast try Ezekiel bread with homemade hashbrowns onbed of kale with tomato sauce(small cut potato slices in oil and a tiny bit of water with spices until soft) or mixed granola with plant based protein powders and fruit, and make sure you have some snacks like humus with natural chips or crackers. buy organic spices in bulk section, nut or seed milks for granola or protein shake (or stirred) and also look up green drinks and other health additions, like flax seed oil, and also try some avocado on spiced coconut oil toast with greens (Ezekiel bread has full amino acids!)... i wish someone told me this years ago.. ; )
Trying gluten free pastas and breads etc adds lots of rice and potatoes and other grains to our diet that really helps us get a full meal, compared to wheat which "stuffs" us but is not nutritionally filling!
fazal ihtisham, Try to keep away from the processed meals in the super market. Make sure you eat grains like rice, barley or spelt, etc. Also legumes like beans and lentils. These are a rich source of protein and legumes and grains will keep you full for ages. You must take a vitamin B12 tablet or spray or a fortified vegan milk. For Omega 3, get a bag of flaxseed. Flax seeds have to be ground down for your body to absorb the oil, so grind a couple teaspoons in a coffee grinder and then sprinkle on a sauce, salad, in a smoothie, in muesli, etc. If you stick to whole foods you will be surprised just how cheap a vegan diet really is :) Have a look at the British Nutrition Foundation info on a vegan diet. They have good pointers: www.nutrition.org.uk/healthyliving/helpingyoueatwell/veganandvegetarian.html
On a video on pinterest where a farmer put a sheep in clothes and sat it in a tractor, I commented my thoughts that it's not right to do this to an animal. That video had so many likes and the backlash was amazing. People are really angry and hateful sometimes, especially online. Thanks Ed for being a comforting and confronting voice out there. The amount of backlash you are getting is probably unbelievable high. I'm so grateful for the activist you are to the community.
I can't get over the spaghetti comment. It makes no sense at all. How does the fact that you can't make spaghetti mean that you should kill animals for food? And just because you can't do something doesn't mean you should pay someone else to do it. I can't do the monkey bars at the park, I'm not going to pay someone to do them for me. It's just as needless as killing animals for their flesh. Daft comment 😂
Bobbiee D You didn't understand it. The comment rightly says that the vegan argument according to which we should make the food we eat ourselves means we shouldn't eat meat. That is stupid because vegans don't know how to produce their own food either. It's not a justification for eating meat. It shows the contradiction of this vegan argument.
- There is No Vegan argument that says we have to make our own food!! That sounds like a Pro-small-scale Gardening Argument! the Vegan argument is only that we shouldn't kill animals or have anyone do it for us! wow..
No i have been vegan and vegetarian since 2003 and not heard that one yet ; ) but next time i hear someone say that i will respond the same, even if they are vegan, i will let them know how silly that is! : ) Thanks
My dad used to be an abbatoir manager and yes, he slaughtered animals day in day out. I visited him at work several times over the years when I was a child and teenager. Therefore, I can vouch that, if anything, animals are MORE aware of that which is beyond human perception and sensibility because their senses are not dulled with all the vices (for want of a better word) that bind the majority of humans to their very dulled and dumbed down material existence. How does a dog know to go sit by the window or door well before their owner (I prefer guardian...or servant 😁) arrives home? It's because they sense them coming. How do they sniff out cancer and Parkinson's? How come they can read people like a book? Our cat gradually lost weight, becoming thinner and thinner over the course of a few weeks. She was happy, did not appear to be in any discernible pain and was wolfing food down the same as always. Our fantastic vet advised us that, at her age, if all was still well and she wasn't suffering, to leave well enough alone and to come back if anything changed. A couple of weeks later our normally aloof little cat, who'd rather be out on the fields staking out her territory than sitting in any of our laps being pampered, came to each one of us in turn and curled up on our chests as we stroked her. Once she'd done an hour with one of us, she dutifully moved onto the next person until she'd included us all. It was such uncharacteristic behaviour that we just knew that she knew the end was near and was coming to say thanks and goodbye. Later that evening she fell from the dining chair where she had curled up to sleep. I picked her up and she passed away in my arms. The naysayers will say, "Well that's dogs and cats - they are different". No, they're not. It's just that in our society hundreds of years have evolved them into domestic animals. The only difference between them and pigs, chickens, cows, sheep etc. is that the easily subjugated herbivores provided a convenient solution to humans in terms of food. Go and do the research about why we started to eat meat and drink the milk of another species (we are the only animal who does that voluntarily) in the first place. And we've been swallowing the same narrative that's been fed to us ever since, i.e 'Listen to us when we tell you, these animals are for eating and these animals are for petting. And don't try to argue the point. Ok?!!'. No, it's not ok. Don't you know that the Dr. who first tried years and years ago to educate people about sugar and how bad it is for health was absolutely villified and barred from practicing for daring to speak out against the big sugar corps? That Dr. had to find an alternative living for himself and so he founded Allinson's bread. The same goes for the tobacco industry. To all of you peddling the 'animals don't have feelings', 'we need meat in our diets' or 'climate change doesn't exist' myths, you'll be the ones who are ridiculed in years to come (if not already), not vegans. Vegans will likely be written into history as the saviours.
I think you amazing Ed, you inspire me so much with your chats and your work. I have been vegan for three weeks and it's the best thing I have ever done! I feel like I have woken up :) but unfortunately it's into a horror show of abuse and lies and this makes me so sad and angry. I see the world so differently now, but I also see so much positive in all the vegans who are out there making this change. I can see and feel the change so obviously, thank you so much for your content it's so helpful and educational, your a beautiful soul xx
Those living beings totally lose it, they try to fight and escape. People once said the same bullshit about other human beings: In a old history book I found the extraction of the journal of a clergyman. He was working on a slave ship and wrote that the Africans were like cattle, stupid AND without a soul... in conclusion it was okay to do whatever you felt like doing! It is "healthy" to believe in a better future for all living beings BUT we won´t achieve that with humanity sticking around. You might be able to change the mind setting of a few people but you are fooling yourself when you truly believe that human beings will wake up one day and see how depraved they are. To change means to change every day, make the "right" decisions every day, work hard on yourself and never stop trying to be more than society dictates you to be. It doesn´t matter if you give up cigarettes, alcohol, sugar or animal based products, you have to make that decision alone and fight to follow your new path. I didn´t stop eating meat because I was allergic or it didn´t taste good any longer, once I understood the value of life and that you are the one responsible for your life style I started hating myself for not caring enough. Doing something simply because society allows it or everyone else does it too is just brain amputated - my brain tells me that I am special because I am human BUT at the same time it reveals to me that with great power comes great responsibility. Stop believing the lies society, religions and companies tell you, stop being cattle feeding on other cattle, be human, be more, be conscious of your actions because this planet is one organism and you are part of it.
I just came across your channel and I am hooked. I really like how you are so calm and are trying to educate people. I have only been Vegan for 2 months and changed my life style because I felt, well yulky is the best word. Now I am getting into the moral side. I just wanted to thank you.
I have Sarcoidosis Lymphoma, for the most I have to eat a lot of meat to maintain my muscle and stay strong as well as eating wholemeal grains, veg and fruits. What I noticed when I heard about a USA clinic with a break through anti cancer diet was that it consisted of mainly high doses of veg, sprouts, reds and purples in color. However, this is not the same diet that is advised by dietitians. The reason can be seen by the next statistic, that I found that said that those who had a well rounded diet (meats/ veg fruit and some grain) were more likely to not get cancer, and those who ate mainly meat and small veg were next inline, last were those who whilst still getting all their minerals ate Vegan and it was noted that cancer was increased from 18%-23%. We know that eating some plants can be harmful. We know that some plants emit a variety of poisons at certain times to stop the eating of their foliage. Some plants are known to be tasty and good for you. But if you eat 10 cases of mangoes(approx 140 mangoes)over a week you will most likely get the bloated rubber lips and bad bowels.
@Leslie Grayson... You do NOT have to justify eating meat to this hippy or to ANYONE .. If you want to eat me..They you eat meat Leslie... You life is YOUR life ..NOT anyone else's. I eat meat and there is NOT A THING anyone can do about it. My life and MY choice. ...Kind regards Brian

“Animals don’t understand they’re going to die” death is the one thing every creature knows it must avoid. The point of life is surviving. Every animals goal is to live
This same people make a hero and spare the life of a bull who ran from the slaughter house bc he wanted to save his life
Your a child with a very kind heart , congratulations, but kind doesn't mean you make sense , you just lack practical knowledge!
Dhanush Varthiboina what?😂 are you assuming my age? Also it’s you’re*
@@mr.mayonnaise5488 child in practical sense , if you 40 year old and ask your mom ,"mommy !wont pigs mom feel bad that we are eating it " , you are a child 😂
And yes , correcting grammar makes u even worse
Dhanush Varthiboina what? how is the comment lacking sense? most animals do strive to live, you aren’t making sense
1 vegan saves 198 animals a year.
I don't see why somebody wouldn't want to do that.
King_Omar_Dos how could you not, if you don't care for the morality aspect of it then how about the environment? Surely you care about the environment you live in right? You realize that the dairy and meat industries is a large factor of the ecosystem being destroyed because so many animals are going extinct. Also theres the argument about your health
King_Omar_Dos You don't care about the environment??? Lmao you do realize that if the environment gets too damaged (ecosystem gets destroyed) human life can't survive. I mean if you don't care about any other life, at least you can be selfish enough to care about yours right??? And yes scientists are literally screaming at the public that 30%-50% percent of animals will be extinct by the half of this century if we continue at the rate we're going. Large part of the problem is dairy and meat industry. And if that many animals go extinct, you bet your ass our ecosystem will be fucked. Don't you wanna help us to fix that problem???
King_Omar_Dos ??? oh dear lord lol. If any vegan activists were to see your comment their minds would explode. And scientists would also agree thats not true. And in case your not sure, I'm not talking about farm animals going extinct. Farmers wouldn't let that happen because they wouldn't wanna lose their business. Farmers practice cattle grazing which is the cattle eating the grass off the land. However over time with human population density the land eventually gets degraded and exhausted. So farmers go out and find new land to graze, which means they gotta destroy natural habitats, cut down trees etc. Leads to extinction of species
King_Omar_Dos Just research on google like endangered species. How the different natural habitats are being affected by humans. Look into what are all the different factors of species extinction. And you'll find that a large part of the problem is the dairy and meat industry. You should find plenty of case studies regarding it. I think its very important that you look into this because this will effect you in your life, as it will also effect the rest of us.
Because idiots are screaming at vegatarian and meat eaters, oh wait, those idiots are vegans. I'm surprised and glad for vegans who don't shove it down other's throats, but m also never being vegan is because you don't really eat anything. I don't eat meat but I get eggs from free chickens who are treated like royalty and have their eggs checked to see if they have babies. And I get milk from it the same way.
Im a meat lover, meaning I love the taste, the smell and the comfort it gives me. That said, I went vegan a year ago and I did the damn thing. My comfort does not come before my ethics, and climate change and the destruction of our precious rainforests is not something we should be fking ignoring any longer.
This from 2014: vegetarians and vegans are not without blame for their food choices. We carnivores eat meat and animal fat, not this rubbish. And climate change has long ago been debunked, so stop harping on a fallacy: it makes you sound as stupid as you look.
@@keithtaylor3347 Climage change has long been debunked? By whom? It is the exact OPPOSITE of debunked, it is more proven than ever and we are seeing very real consequences today. The North fking Pole just had record breaking heat a few days ago, so go fuck yourself with your propaganda.
But your health comes before it
Parker DW actually it wasn’t the North Pole , it was a town in Siberia that’s on the very edge of the arctic circle (artic circle is 500miles North of Uk) and this town has summer Average temperatures of 22 degrees , England has 20 degrees average and hits 38 in summer easily, it’s just over hyped media the North Pole wasn’t 38 degrees it was a fucking European town that is warm in the summer anyway stop buying into everything you see
@@parkerdinhwilliams15 The climate change propaganda is just another panic tactic used by certain elements that want to push a scare agenda.
The climate is ALWAYS changing: there was a period dubbed "the little ice age" (Google it) between the 13th and 16th centuries, when most of Europe underwent a period of lower temperatures than had been experienced before. As we don't really have records going all the way back to then, we have to rely on certain evidence supplied by scientists and NASA.
I won't dispute that Earth MAY be warming -but we in South Africa have experienced some record LOWS this winter and who can say with utmost certainty that it is caused by human activities? It could just as well be caused by natural cycles we have yet to understand. Relying too much on what one hears on the news is no way to form a coherent understanding of what is going on: I discovered that some 50 years ago, when I had just entered my second decade of life.
If you don't like what I have to say, I really don't care: you can live your silly little life any way you want. I will live mine as I please and there is not much you or anyone else can do about it.
As for what you suggested I do with my "propaganda", I wish you the same and I can even be so kind as to send you a few segments of jointed cactus, the more to enjoy the experience.
I was raised on a farm too and the animals totally know what's going on during slaughter. They hear, smell, and understand. They were raised in pastures and complete free range, but it all ended the same way. Growing up knowing the facts of farming led to me being vegan now.
that’s so great! i’m glad you felt you should change. 👏👏👏👏
My aunts raise cattle and I was conflicted because I spent a summer working with them and the cattle seemed fine (they sold the cattle to slaughter houses I think) but your right, they do end up in the same place

I was the same til i realised i had to add 10 supplements to my diet just to remain somewhat healthy.
In general a man calls himself 'deez nuts' and has a profile picture of his abdominal muscles isn't going to make for an intellectual conversation.
😂😂😂 Seriously though.
"I challenge Deez Nuts to stand next to a lion." I'm crying help
HAHAHHHAH, I kinda ignored that before you pointed it out
Lolol
A lion could kill you if given the chance. However if you wanted to you could hunt and kill the lion, putting your on top of the food chain. Just interpreting the statement for people who lack logic
Domenik have you heard of guns? Have you heard of Maasai Warriors, who only have spears. Mans knowledge has put humans on the top of the food chain. Some of these vegan points are purely idiotic.
Nick Rouse Eating animal flesh out of the supermarket is no food chain
And we simply don’t need it to survive.. And it’s massively destroying the earth, more than anything else.
If you eat them we all die as well
I wish I could speak very logical like you. When someone speaks against veganism I just get mad and speak like a child
Sallie Andrea same here I still get triggered specially when people say but I like bacon , it's so childish to overlook the cruelty just because you like something
alexia white its just so frustrating when you have all the information in your head to tell them but like when you open your mouth you just sound like a potato 😂😂 but hopefully with time we can all improve and maybe turn so non vegans
Sallie Andrea Instead of pointlessly shouting the facts, listen to their reasons and ask why, then debunk them (Ed is very good at this)
Okay, tell me why I should turn vegan.
It's because your ego is letting veganism be a part of your identity, so when someone talks shit about veganism, you take it as a personal attack.
Take a step back and detatch from the lable, be present, observe and the answers will come to you.

Yeah he knows religion is retarded but understandably doesn’t want to alienate Christians in this video.
Yea. Religion is used to justify violence towards animals and consuming them. Without the socially accepted cult, they cannot justify their shitty mindset and meat eating lifestyle.

Matija Črešnik lmao death is an "it" she meant avoid death not avoid animals.
Katie Schofield Urg Humans are animals.
Katie Schofield no. It's because they are scared of the predator. Are you that stupid? Sheesh
Some random dude it's still being scared and wanting to avoid death. All living beings want to live, we are biologically wired to fight to live in life threatening situations.
You're very logical. I eat meat but watching your videos is making me reconsider my views
Rawal Khan: nice
That's awesome!
Rawal Khan You will feel so much better and have tons of energy if you go vegan.
Good for you! If you make the change it will be life-changing. I have never felt so energetic in my life. I've never had such good vascularity and my skin has never been clearer than it has after going vegan. Plus you can make a positive change for the world with your investment choices while not supporting big slaughter business

"The teeth in the front of our mouth are for cutting meat."
Okay then, stop using a knife and fork to eat your meat, just use your mouth, since that's apparently what it's designed for.
Elise Zadow
... That's ridiculous. Your molars are also designed for chewing plants, carbohydrates; will you not use your hands to eat, also?
Ayyy lmao - That's not the argument vegans are making. We're simply exposing the weakness in the argument that one HAS to use a body part for its designated function. A person pointing to their canines when someone asks why they've eaten an animal is akin to a person pointing to their crotch whenever a cop asks why they sexually assaulted a woman. The reality is that canines are designed to bite into fibrous fruit & veggies, they're not sharp enough to tear into flesh. So yeah I actually CAN eat plants like vegetables and fruits without a fork or knife. So either way, your argument becomes moot.
YourMajesty143 👍🏼👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼
I use my mouth, idk about you but i hate forks and knives they get in the way
I think we're carrying this teeth in the front versus molars a little too far. We have no idea what the first humans teeth looked like. All of our teeth are for chewing and grinding
Honestly, defensive meat eaters present some of the most illogical and stupid arguments i've ever heard.

Keith Taylor a few odd cases of herbivores eating meat doesn’t mean that’s what the species has to do to survive. Even if horses needed meat to survive, they cannot use their canines for that purpose. They would use their molars to chew just how they chew plants. They are not in the right spot. And that’s not my name:/
@@mariahlynn7759 I addressed this very subject 3 weeks ago. Meat-eating among herbivores is much more common than you think: I have personally witnessed it on many occasions in a wide variety of herbivorous animals. In some, it may be about 10%, but in others it goes up to 25% and more. Get into the bush and see for yourself.
Keith Taylor I spend most my life outside with animals. I’m just trying to say that it’s not like they depend on meat to live. I’ve seen many cases of herbivores eating other animals. On accident and on purpose. Whether it be deer eating baby birds or a horse eating a baby chick. It happens. But it’s not key for their survival unless they’re in a desperate situation. I guess you can also count the numerous amount of bugs they eat as well. But they still do not use their canines for such behaviors. They’d chew the critters like they chew plants lol
Our canines can't even go through raw meat. Hippos have the biggest canines but they are herbivores.

My moms boyfriend has been a butcher before and he even still cuts meat to this day. He says that they show you the worst part in those slaughterhouse videos, "just give them a crack to the skull and they're dead".
He says this as if thats just okay. All i did was stare at him. I actually cant comprehend how someone thinks thats okay and that these animals dont fear for their lives.

Your BRAIN is made up of CHOLESTEROL which is ONLY available from eating ANIMALS. , so is your HEART, liver and other organs. Cholesterol is used to make TESTOSTERONE AND ESTROGEN as well as proving ESSENTIAL cellular functioning. If fact, low CHOLESTEROL LEVELS can even lead to SUICIDE. PLANTS provide ZERO CHOLESTEROL, and you need it EVERY DAY . Read the article published by your LIBERAL HARVARD EDU newsletter - If your brain has enough cholesterol left to read with - Seems YOU are the stupid one. Then read the rest of the reasons you cannot live without meat. (I googled it for you because you didnt)

Do you know what ESSENTIAL AMINO ACIDS ARE???? NOT FOUND IN VEGGIES AND THEY ARE ESSENTIAL FOR LIFE. YOU ARE GONNA DIE eating veggies. You animal rights activists are ALL ABOUT PROFITS. Your followers need a BRAIN. Did you know your BRAIN is made of CHOLESTEROL. What VEGETABLE IS PROVIDES CHOLESTEROL? NONE - THATS why VEGANs are SOOO stupid!!! Animal poop is used for FERTILIZER. So how do you fertilize the plants without animal fertilizer. You can use ARTIFICIAL FERTILIZER made from PETROLEUM - Yes, that is what MONSANTO uses to make fertilizer. GASOLINE !!! YES, you are eating veggies made from GASOLINE. Our CO2 levels are at 400 ppm, they used to be at 4,000 ppm. Did you know that PLANTS DIE when CO2 levels reach 300. How do you explain loving plants, wanting to use them for your ONLY food source - Yet you INSIST that we must kill the FOOD PLANTS EAT - THEY EAT CO2 and kick out Oxygen. If the PLANTS DIE we die too because we will have no OXYGEN!!! YOU PEOPLE ARE SOOO STUPID. - ENJOY DUMBO!!! Go getta burger and SHADDUP - Let SMART MEN rule the earth before you destroy it.

@@fladave99 vegans aren't killing all the plants. In fact, farm animals consume way more CO2 producing plants than humans

You know body smell? That smell of your sheets when you haven't changed them soon enough. Or that smell of wet, oily hair? Combine that with a faint smell of blood, and that is what chicken smells like, to me. I've never eaten it.
To me, who didn't grow up eating meat, I have no 'natural' hunger for meat. It stinks. It reeks of body odors camuflaged with plant spizes.
The Adam and Eve didn’t eat meat til after they sinned opened my eyes.
Does that really make a difference? GOD wanted a sacrifice of MEAT, which is the reason He "had not respect" for Cain's offering of "the fruit of the ground".
Numbers 28 and 29 details how many rams, lambs and bullocks He demands every year as offerings.
He also laid out in Deuteronomy 14 and Leviticus 11 "the beasts that ye shall eat". Notice please: not "ye MAY eat", but "ye SHALL eat". You WILL eat the "flesh" of these animals: You have to ask yourself whether God's commands have less importance than your choices.
@@keithtaylor3347 God does not command us to do anything, he gave us free will.
@@lauradusty7880 That was before the fall. After Adam and Eve were thrown out of the garden, God made rules for them to follow, because He could not trust them (us) to behave themselves (ourselves).
@@keithtaylor3347 that happened after Adam and Eve were tossed out on their asses. Before that they were allowed to eat of any tree in the garden of Eden. Death is the price of sin and therefore it did not exist until after the original sin. Blood sacrifices were a way to atone for your sins, it' was supposed to be a punishment, instead we made it a bbq. However, Jesus dying on the cross took away the need for blood sacrifices. So no God does not command anyone to eat meat, at least not anymore.
@@CorporealGinger It's your prerogative to believe anything you like. If you think that your sins are atoned for, by all means go for it. I have yet to find any text in which Jesus says something like: "Okay now: I've come to relieve you of the burdens of the sins of the past, so you can, from now on, ignore all the old rules and regulations my father laid down and just try to behave yourselves."
The problem with Christians (and no doubt other followers of the Bible or its predecessors) is that they INTERPRET what they read, instead of taking it at face value. I have studied Genesis 1 to 5 for more than forty years - I have not gone beyond that, because in the "begat" verses nothing significant seems to have happened for between a quarter and a third of the history of the ancient Hebrews. A few isolated incidents are mentioned, but nothing of great moment - and I have found that the current interpretation is severely lacking. For instance, in verse 2 of Genesis 1 we are told that "darkness was on the face of the deep". How could this darkness be distinguished BEFORE God said "Let there be light"? What was the nature of that "first" light he called forth and did He switch it off again after he made the sun, moon and stars - on the FOURTH day?
If they (the readers and interpreters of the Bible) haven't noticed something so simple, then what makes you think they (and you) can understand anything else that is written there?
Watching your videos inspired me to transition from Vegetarian to Vegan. It's the best thing I ever did 😊 Thank you.

@@simonforsythe2615 plants do provide calcium and protien but not as much as meat does, you cannot just consume same quantity of plants to obtains as much protine as a pound of meat gives , you need to consume much more quantity of vegetable to compensate not eating meat , that's where meat in considered as optimal source for protine gains, just because excessive meat consumption cause heart problems doesn't mean the whole idea of meat eating is wrong , that's why we have something called balanced diet ,so one need not be a vegan to be healthy , he can just followa good diet which involves certain amounts of meat and dairy , do not act as if only you vegans research, your research are very narrow and stupid because you are proud .

I became vegan in 2017 after hearing from my doctor that I needed to be tested for anemia. This scared the shit out of me as I did not want to be held back from life in any way. So I researched and discovered all the flaws in eating animals. After about a week of vegetarianism, I became vegan. Along with the mountains of of information about health benefits of veganism, my eyes were opened to the hidden truths about animals. Everything about my life has improved because I am no longer participating in the murder of innocent beings. I am also not anemic. I encounter the same pointless arguments. Ultimately, I'm still surprised that people even try to debate vegans. Every day brings me into a new discovery whole researching my veganism. We vegans know more about "meat eaters" than meat eaters know about themselves or our choices. Thank you for the video!
So true. Advertising is the chief source of information meat eaters get about the diet, I know, I once ate meat, like yourself. You can scour the net for vegan hater channels who spew up the same dozen flawed theories, in favour of animal slaughter and diet, its amazing how many meat eaters go and memorise them and parrot them in troll like fashion on every vegan site. Usually from a deep sense of guilt about what they're doing. You often cant look at it clearly and rationally til you're out of it, it's like a cult.
well said. i am so happy and proud of you!! 👏👏👏👏👏
Compassion is the ability to feel other's pain. I feel great compassion through your eyes brother. Sending love energy. Namaste.
I still feel so much guilt for EVER having eaten meat in my past.
6 years vegan now but I still look back and feel this deep pain in my heart for the lives I took.
I am so lucky to have woken up to the suffering I was needlessly causing to these wonderful creatures and I genuinely hope that others can come over to a plant based lifestyle.
Thankfully both of my young children have been raised vegan and I hope they will go on to spread the message of compassion to others they meet 💚🌱
The future is green and everyone is welcome!
Great video Ed, as always :)
Natalie Du Jardin i know the feeling. as a small child I was very compassionate toward animals and even refused to eat flesh when I found out it was from murdered animals. somewhere along the way I let the psychosis of others corrupt my innate conscience. that is what I find most abhorrent of all.
Natalie Du Jardin Don't feel guilty, that's just how you were brought up. But you can pay the animals back by converting other people to vegans :)
That's such a poignant and beautiful comment. I am extremely happy for your and your kids. Cheers to veganism and compassion.
Namaste friends 💚
Guilt is such a useless emotion to hang on to, it doesn't serve us in any way. Just recognise you were ignorant of the knowledge at the time and you are doing the animals a massive service raising your children as vegan and I'm sure the consequences of that will be immense beyond what we can forsee.

Our “canines” (which are actually called bicuspids) are for popping open nuts and seeds, and gripping harder vegetation before slicing it with our incisors. Our molars are flat and broad for chewing tough fibres and jaws move side to side and up and down. Like herbivores.
We are herbivorous animals and were only ever supposed to be opportunistic when we did scavenge meat. We were at the end of the food chain the whole time, never at the top. Our ancestors even waited for the vultures to pick a carcass clean before we sidled up and used rocks to get bone marrow out. But the majority of the Homo Habulis diet, Homo Aghasta, and Homo Erectus...? It was plants. Roots, seeds, nuts, fruits, tubers, and leaves.
When early Homo sapiens adopted the idea of growing things, our gut bacteria and enzymes were comfortable to make the small shift to utilise easier starchy sugars for producing energy and protein alongside the amino acids we already acquired from leafy greens.
How do I know all this? My sister went to Durham and studied Anthropology, and as a family we are biologists and historians in nature... ^_^ we read. We research.
So anyway that’s why all my clever family are now vegans in light of the clear benefits and natural historical evidence.
how do we not know your anthropology is wrong? my research shows that we ate fatty meat in abundance even back to Australopithecus...
Your sister paid way to much to be lied to
@@stephaniefarris5461 I have had doctors and veterinary surgeons give me advice which, had I taken it, would have left me minus my right thumb and one of my dogs minus a leg. I followed my intuition, resulting in me keeping my thumb and the dog retaining her leg, both with full mobility. The dog died of old age some years back and I am still using my thumb.
Many "scientists" pay a lot of money to be "educated" - I received mine from the countless books I have read, many of them in Public Libraries in Johannesburg, Cape Town, Bloemfontein and many smaller towns like Venterstad, Ladybrand and others - however, strangely, not in Durban!
I have shown academic scientists' learning to be in error far too many times for me to trust them, so that I simply don't - trust them, I mean. Ask your sister to explain to you why it is that I cured my angina pectoris by eating meat and animal fat and why my wife's arthritis disappeared when she stopped using plant-based oils and margarine. She replaced them with animal fat and butter. That was about two years ago and she has not had a recurrence.
I eat meat and fat only and five years ago I recovered from an ischaemic stroke after eating some cooked green beans, which resulted in the loss of motor control in my right side, with no medical intervention, but using my own intuitive regimen. It took three weeks for me to gain full recovery, by adding extra fat to my diet. I now eat around 8 kg of fat per month: that is more than 250 g per day. How does THAT strike your herbivorous theory?

Brandon Edwards lol. A lot of things suggest that an omnivorous diet isn't what's best for us. Not even only health-wise. But also how it's a major contributor to global warming and I think we all can say we enjoy being alive, and want our future generations to not suffer the consequences we could not simply stop because people 'enjoyed the taste' of.. Cancer. And animal abuse. I wasn't even suggesting that to be the only reason based on why we should stop eating animals, but ok lol, that was just in response of his first hate comment.
Brandon Edwards Also, we're literally not those people in tribes. We're civilized and more developed. We're weirdos sitting on the Internet, comparing ourselves to completely different beings with outdated practices they RESORTED to for survival, supporting the mass breeding of trillions of animals and deforestation to waste an extensive amount of grain on those animals because there were people in the past who have done it to survive, just as they've done with incest. Are you also suggesting that is healthy and okay too? Also, since you're an expert, what is their average lifespan? Probably not very long. 🤔
Brandon Edwards Just thought you should know almost 3 million people in Kenya face starvation. The world produces enough crops in a year to feed 10-11 billion people but a significant portion of those crops are fed to animals in factory farms. We could end world hunger if everyone stopped consuming meat.
Brandon Edwards We are not an aboriginal tribe so stop using them as an excuse.
“God gave us animals”. Umm. Proof of that? Anyone. Anyone! No. No proof. Stop using God as an excuse.
The proof you requested is in Genesis 9:3 "...Every moving thing that liveth shall be meat for you; even as the green herb have I given you all things."
Notice the wording: EVERY moving thing that lives ... meaning ALL animals, birds, fishes, crustaceans etc., and also plants. Moses would later make certain exceptions to this rule. He did not STOP the people eating meat, but told them which they could freely eat. Leviticus 11:1 onward and Deuteronomy 14: 3 - 21.
If you want to use God in your argument, at least know what the hell you're talking about.

asked for proof. He got it from the only popular source in which the idea of the Western version of God is mentioned. I am not intimating that it is reliable, but the "creation" part, if read with open eyes and mind, provides a very coherent narrative of a beginning. Not necessarily THE beginning, but a NEW beginning. It has all the hallmarks of the recovery of Earth after a major catastrophe or "extinction event".
Keith Taylor It still isn’t a reliable source, therefore, cannot be solid proof. Every religion believes they are the true religion, your religion isn’t more correct than other religions/ideas. That’s a way to look at things with a closed off mindset.

Humans are the most developed species on Earth but we have abused our knowledge. Other creatures aren't as aware as we are but we should still share the earth with them, not take advantage of them.
especially since our fellow animals are completely in our hands and we have all the power to do them no harm, but we go out of our way to destroy them when they've done absolutely nothing to us
Will Bourner V yes , and also many mammals have the intelligence of a small child so they are so vulnerable
intelligence life is destined to destroy itself...humanity will not exist on this planet for a long time. Don't worry
Lydia, in what way are humans the most developed species on the planet? If you're referring to being the most dominant (not necessarily a good thing nor sign of intelligence) then I can't argue that, but if you're referring to developed brains or minds or consciousness, what gives you the authority to assess this? When people think that they're more consciously aware or more intelligent than non-human animals, they're rounding up all the species on planet earth (many of which we don't even know exist), and deciding that from THEIR perspective and THEIR short period of experience here and THEIR values and THEIR priorities that THEIR species is the most developed... Do you not see a flaw or perhaps a bias in that way of thinking? The secret to wisdom, is humility.
Your statement that other animals are not as aware as your species is as ignorant and offensive as when Europeans said that the Indigenous of North America or Australia and so on were not as aware, for example. You have no authority to make such a broad assessment of anyone else and that way of thinking has been an ugly pattern throughout history and speciesism is the root of it; speciesism is the root of the belief that those who look differently or act differently or communicate differently are somehow less than in one or various ways.
It's such an unthoughtful thing to say... it's completely coming from a place of your own perspective. Literally anyone else... anyone, could say the same exact thing about you. I could say that you're not as aware as me or your grandmother was not as aware as my grandmother because *insert some difference here*... there's no logic, it's complete nonsense to say the least. It is the mother of prejudice.
I assure you, that at the very least, non-human animals are as aware as human beings.
LOL, dear God NO... no I do not. First of all, humans do not all equally have the same level of intellect, some are vastly superior/inferior to others. I think humans have an intellect specific to HUMANS which enables us to do a great many of things for better or for worse... How we choose to use this ability I believe speaks very loudly of one's personal intellectual level. You've never seen a cow develop a pyramid... ok, so AGAIN you're measuring intellect and advancement through your OWN set of priorities and ideas of what intelligence means... To say the least, that is an extremely flawed way of thinking.
Consider this... what if man's idea of intelligence is completely skewed? That might actually explain why our species is so devastating to this planet and all life on it including our own.
Lastly, have you or anyone you've known developed a pyramid or a space shuttle? ....Didn't think so. So then why are you taking the capabilities of specific human individuals and applying them to you and everyone you know? Maybe you could do those things, I don't know... but do you get my point?
Thank you Ed I needed this today. I know your busy with outreach, but after many many social media arguments today is one of those days when the activism drains my soul. This was a very nice laugh, and very calming to hear your voice. Your replies are always so logical & so calm. You handled them very eloquently. Love you !
I love how calm you are. you are very logical. Thank you for the info, I'm a new vegan and still finding my way in veganism.
"I don't make my own spaghetti just like I don't slaughter my own animals" logic omgggg :o I'm cry
I love this💕
Ed destroys any argument in the most calm and logical fashion. I would love to be able to be like this, but I know it just takes practice and the will to stay strong and calm in the face of the most ridiculous, nonsensical arguments.
I strive to be more like Ed in everything I do honestly. He'a an amazing person and I'm sooo happy I found this channel. 💕
Christians who say that God gave us animals to eat must go and read the book of Genesis.
Genesis 1:29-39: Then God said, "Look! I have given you every seed-bearing plant throughout the the earth and all the fruit trees for your food. And I have given every green plant as food for all the wild animals, the birds in the sky and the small animals that scurry along the ground- everything that has life." Note that God gives us PLANTS to eat, not animals. In Genesis 1:26 God orders us to "Reign over the fish in the sea, the birds in the sky, and all the animals that scurry along the ground." God has ordered man to Reign and Protect over the animals as he Reigns and Protects over us. God gives us "dominion" over animals which means that we should protect and care for them.I also think Christians should question whether it glorifies and brings God joy when we mistreat and misuse the animals that He has created. God created animals to live in harmony with us and worship Him.
Being vegan is not unbiblical or dishonoring to God. I believe that by choosing not to eat animals l am worshiping God by respecting His creation. I believe that we can bring Glory to God by not eating animals.
"**Everything that lives and moves about will be food for you.** Just as I gave you the green plants, I now give you everything." -Gen. 9:3
Simónn de Kock , Thank You, I absolutely agree !!!
bluebronx was this after the flood?
David Amaral Yes. Once God came and wiped out the sinful people who were judged in the flood, He told the righteous people to go ahead and eat meat from that point on. (Gen. 9:3)
humans also regularly sacrificed animals for atonements of sins before the coming of jesus christ. Cover the whole story and don´t be selective
Our bodies are literally not made to eat meat. . _. bruh a bunch of other herbivores in the animal kingdom have HUGE canines and they are not used to tear meat apart. As well as the fact that we can't properly digests raw meat anyway since our body's pH is too alkaline compared to real omnivores.( like literally our bodies are way more similar to other herbivores than omnivores)
jhcgg nbftuvc that was good in a survival situation where calories is the only dietary priority. We’d eat pure refined sugar water in the wild if that was the most dense calorie source
The omnivore foodchain: A pig is born and grows up. When it’s big enough, it gets slaughtered and packed into plastic. These packages then get delivered to a supermarket. The omnivore goes to the supermarket, takes the meat, pays, takes it home, puts it on the grill and eats it. That doesn’t really sound like a real foodchain😂
lol
It's still a food chain, we've just found a different way to kill and eat animals.
1:48
Children don't understand death either. Should we farm them and eat their bodies?
Ignorance does not mean a being is suddenly murderable.
shoe laces - No shit. Maybe because intelligence shouldn't determine whether we murder and devour someone.
Can we please get married?
Ed you are a saint. The way you handle hate and primitive non-vegans with so much patience and calm is just amazing. I would‘ve started raging long ago... keep it up
I love your channel, I can't believe people are being so ignorant
ok Gerard
Gerard! And yes, I agree. Some people are very disconnected.
I can't believe *_I_* used to be so ignorant
yep so was i i didn't know animals were killed so young and so horribly really stupid of me, of course they are not killed humanly , duh !
VegAnimation
Same for Me.
Keep up your great work. I am impatiently waiting for your next Video.
Don't feel pushed tho :D
These haters cant argue with you! Keep up the great activism and awareness for the animals Earthling Ed!
They are not even hate comments, I think its the majority of vegans who are haters.
“This is brilliant because...” proceeds to rip it apart 😩😂 I LOVE YOU also I watch your whole ad cause I just wanna support everything about you
I’ve never seen Ed so sassy and I’m LIVING FOR IT
My son is developmentally disabled. Every time I hear the argument that animals don’t understand things like we do so, they deserve to die, I wonder how they feel about people like my son. He doesn’t speak the language we do. He doesn’t understand things the way other people do. That does not make his life any less worthy.
Ed: “No one finds making pasta or bread disturbing”
Gluten-Sensitive: *Vietnam flash backs*
You’re such a legend!!! Keep up your amazing work!!! ❤️🧡
for your debate, humans are not omnivores, we are anatomically & physiologically vegetarians. we have some capacity to digest a small amount of meat opportunistically solely for its calorific content in a starvation situation, our alimentary canal is way too long & meat effectively rots inside us.
Your ignorance of your own species is amazing.
love your calm approach Ed , even talking to the most extreme trolls you're always cool and calm
Thank you for your work. I am a vegan from Switzerland and i am regularly speaking about veganism around me. Step by step, more and more people are going vegan. I am sure that veganism is the future for a peacefull humanity. Thank you again for your commitment ; you're right.
I live in a house full of meat eaters and animal product consumers apart from me. I am 14 years old and find it very difficult to sit around the table and eat with my family who have meat with EVERY meal. I have tried to persuade them many times to not eat meat and try and cut down on it but they don't listen. I try telling them how horrorifically animals are treated and they just laugh and say it's nonsense and that we are not allowed to treat animals like that. My parents refuse to buy me almond milk as they say it's too expensive and I should just drink milk like the rest of them and be normal. I don't know what to do. I still love them but I don't respect them at all :(
Well That Was Random Would they watch videos or read books u gave them. I am sooo sorry....
+Well That Was Random - Trying to persuade people to make reasonably large lifestyle changes is never going to be easy! Have you tried introducing things slowly rather than out and out trying to get them to stop eating meat? Why not offer to cook for the family once a week? Or once or fortnight? It's a good starting point! As for the not wanting to buy you almond milk. I'd use the "health benefits" angle. Tell them you're worried you're not getting enough calcium and explain that one serving of almond milk contains 30% of your RDA. And remember, you want something from them so always be polite, even if they're not, if you lose your temper you'll be much less likely to get what you want...
Omg I feel really bad for you... I'm 12 and went vegan about half a year ago. Luckily, my family is way more open to my lifestyle than yours... my mum buys me almonds milk and all that stuff, and things like egg replaces. Sadly though, none of my family IS vegan, but there are one or two vegetarians in the household. I wish you luck with your family! 🙂
A very very long long long youtube channel name
😭
A very very long long long youtube channel name Maybe ask them to watch a movie with you and turn on Earhtlings.
This is such an interesting way to get my head around valid arguments I can use when people throw their opinions and questions at me. I'm new to veganism after having battled with my conscience for far too long and a friend caused a switch to flick in my head and now I see it as black and white. All of your counter arguments are so calm and logical. Thank you, you're doing a wonderful jobxxx
"Deez nutz might get mauled by the lion" lmao
You are amazing! Thank you for sharing your wisdom and knowledge. ❤️
So sad that people have to be mean over things they don't understand. Love your calmness.
There is absolutely zero evidence god exists however there is undeniable evidence and proof that animals feel pain and want to live.
Car ly stfu talking about my god u vegan u make no difference on this earth being vegan
Oh yes when they scream out in pain it means they’re happy right LOL god
there is evidence of god everywhere. look around you. but no matter if you believe or not. be vegan. i am.
I believe in higher power but this is honestly a mood, LOL. I find it terribly strange that human can do the sickest thing in the name of God. Does God personally tell you to do so that you feel morally obliged to do something cruel? God certainly doesn't do that.
Look at this foolish statement.
If God dont exist why is this world so complex beyond human understanding .
Why are we living does this life have a purpose.
If you think of these questions you realise the creator is the one you should submit to and nobody else
Let them hate, they will soon realize how wrong they where
Keep it going Ed, went vegan recently and have never felt happier. Only regret is not doing it sooner
Daniel Quintero they are afraid of their lifestyles being challenged, their logic doesn't work and that scares them. idk why that makes them spew more nonsense tho 😂
Meat eating is a personal choice, there's no right or wrong to it.
3succ5me your a turkey brain
+3succ5me It's a choice but not a personal one as it involves victims. Please consider to stop hurting animals and go vegan. :)
Ed I absolutely love how calm, informed, and well spoken you are. You are the perfect face for veganism and I’m so grateful you’re doing what you’re doing. I love how when I first transitioned, my family would argue “well one person can’t change things so what’s the point”, but you’re a perfect example of someone that defies that. Anyway, enough flattery 😂. Keep doing what you’re doing and I cant wait to see the impact we’ll see down the road ❤️
I ❤️ you Earthling Ed...what a beautiful soul!
This man is goals. 👍🏼 I wish I could keep my cool half as much as Ed does, he’s a real role model for anyone who wants to learn how to debate calmly and logically.
It's purely fascinating how you're able to be so calm and not even slightly provocated by this horrendeous ignorance and anti-vegan agression. I get tired so fast listening over and over again how our bodies "require meat and dairy" and there's no fuel left to explain people who aren't ready to listen to why I'm vegan and why it's an astonishing movement. I really admire your activictic work.
Vegans are for peace!
Meat-eaters are for victory.
What??
Makes no sense
Yeah, peace of schit*
Vegans can be just as hateful as meat eaters.
Tbh both can be for peace it isn't about what you eat it about your personality
And before someone says yeah but you eat animals
Guess what your killing plants tbh it doesn't matter what you eat as long as your happy with it
wow that second comment, animals know when they are going to die! you can see the terror in their eyes and the sadness as they watch their family be killed.
I understand this concept even back then as a child... but it was so normal to my surrounding, so...
You are so educated and civilized I love it so much!
I don't know how you don't have millions of subscribers. You're so intelligent and I watch your videos when I'm pissed off about how illogical peoples arguments are about veganism lol
it's easy to strawman people who eat meat to solidify your ideology.
Emily Triplett,
Same! He's awesome
@@zerox187 Stand next to a lion!
@@GutGains But it shouldnt be should it? If you have a rationale rebuttal stooped in logic, morality and intelligence, it shouldnt be easy to strawman, right? Perhaps you're getting truth and ideology mixed up.
your idot
my argument is greatly superior
I have decided I will go vegan for a month, how should I start? If I like it, I will continue being a vegan.
fazal ihtisham Start with picking your grocery list for three days: rices for stir fries, gluten free pasta and can of pasta sauce (to last a couple meals), cooked beans like garbanzo (for rice or salad) and black beans (add to pasta or soups), and some variety of root veggies for soup with canned tomatoes, add mixed frozen veggies and fresh chopped kale to each of these dishes/recipes for both lunches and dinners. For breakfast try Ezekiel bread with homemade hashbrowns onbed of kale with tomato sauce(small cut potato slices in oil and a tiny bit of water with spices until soft) or mixed granola with plant based protein powders and fruit, and make sure you have some snacks like humus with natural chips or crackers. buy organic spices in bulk section, nut or seed milks for granola or protein shake (or stirred) and also look up green drinks and other health additions, like flax seed oil, and also try some avocado on spiced coconut oil toast with greens (Ezekiel bread has full amino acids!)... i wish someone told me this years ago.. ; )
Angela_ SoManyThings thank you so much!
Trying gluten free pastas and breads etc adds lots of rice and potatoes and other grains to our diet that really helps us get a full meal, compared to wheat which "stuffs" us but is not nutritionally filling!
Yep, I used to work on a cook book but it sort of fell through so lately I just like to share in comments sections ; ) but thanks for the Thanks!
fazal ihtisham, Try to keep away from the processed meals in the super market. Make sure you eat grains like rice, barley or spelt, etc. Also legumes like beans and lentils. These are a rich source of protein and legumes and grains will keep you full for ages. You must take a vitamin B12 tablet or spray or a fortified vegan milk. For Omega 3, get a bag of flaxseed. Flax seeds have to be ground down for your body to absorb the oil, so grind a couple teaspoons in a coffee grinder and then sprinkle on a sauce, salad, in a smoothie, in muesli, etc. If you stick to whole foods you will be surprised just how cheap a vegan diet really is :)
Have a look at the British Nutrition Foundation info on a vegan diet. They have good pointers:
www.nutrition.org.uk/healthyliving/helpingyoueatwell/veganandvegetarian.html
On a video on pinterest where a farmer put a sheep in clothes and sat it in a tractor, I commented my thoughts that it's not right to do this to an animal. That video had so many likes and the backlash was amazing. People are really angry and hateful sometimes, especially online.
Thanks Ed for being a comforting and confronting voice out there. The amount of backlash you are getting is probably unbelievable high. I'm so grateful for the activist you are to the community.
I can't get over the spaghetti comment. It makes no sense at all. How does the fact that you can't make spaghetti mean that you should kill animals for food? And just because you can't do something doesn't mean you should pay someone else to do it. I can't do the monkey bars at the park, I'm not going to pay someone to do them for me. It's just as needless as killing animals for their flesh. Daft comment 😂
Bobbiee D You didn't understand it. The comment rightly says that the vegan argument according to which we should make the food we eat ourselves means we shouldn't eat meat. That is stupid because vegans don't know how to produce their own food either. It's not a justification for eating meat. It shows the contradiction of this vegan argument.
- There is No Vegan argument that says we have to make our own food!! That sounds like a Pro-small-scale Gardening Argument! the Vegan argument is only that we shouldn't kill animals or have anyone do it for us! wow..
Angela_ SoManyThings Unfortunately, some stupid vegans use this argument without realizing how contradictory it is. Have you never noticed it ?
No i have been vegan and vegetarian since 2003 and not heard that one yet ; ) but next time i hear someone say that i will respond the same, even if they are vegan, i will let them know how silly that is! : ) Thanks
Cyril the argument for making your own food has nothing to do with veganism specifically, I hope you don't tar us all with the same brush.
"I challenge deez nuts.." 😂😂😂 made my day lolz
My dad did some engineering work at a slaughterhouse years ago. He stopped eating lamb. I will never forget his words. 'They know'.
My dad used to be an abbatoir manager and yes, he slaughtered animals day in day out. I visited him at work several times over the years when I was a child and teenager. Therefore, I can vouch that, if anything, animals are MORE aware of that which is beyond human perception and sensibility because their senses are not dulled with all the vices (for want of a better word) that bind the majority of humans to their very dulled and dumbed down material existence.
How does a dog know to go sit by the window or door well before their owner (I prefer guardian...or servant 😁) arrives home? It's because they sense them coming. How do they sniff out cancer and Parkinson's? How come they can read people like a book? Our cat gradually lost weight, becoming thinner and thinner over the course of a few weeks. She was happy, did not appear to be in any discernible pain and was wolfing food down the same as always. Our fantastic vet advised us that, at her age, if all was still well and she wasn't suffering, to leave well enough alone and to come back if anything changed. A couple of weeks later our normally aloof little cat, who'd rather be out on the fields staking out her territory than sitting in any of our laps being pampered, came to each one of us in turn and curled up on our chests as we stroked her. Once she'd done an hour with one of us, she dutifully moved onto the next person until she'd included us all. It was such uncharacteristic behaviour that we just knew that she knew the end was near and was coming to say thanks and goodbye. Later that evening she fell from the dining chair where she had curled up to sleep. I picked her up and she passed away in my arms. The naysayers will say, "Well that's dogs and cats - they are different". No, they're not. It's just that in our society hundreds of years have evolved them into domestic animals. The only difference between them and pigs, chickens, cows, sheep etc. is that the easily subjugated herbivores provided a convenient solution to humans in terms of food. Go and do the research about why we started to eat meat and drink the milk of another species (we are the only animal who does that voluntarily) in the first place. And we've been swallowing the same narrative that's been fed to us ever since, i.e 'Listen to us when we tell you, these animals are for eating and these animals are for petting. And don't try to argue the point. Ok?!!'. No, it's not ok.
Don't you know that the Dr. who first tried years and years ago to educate people about sugar and how bad it is for health was absolutely villified and barred from practicing for daring to speak out against the big sugar corps? That Dr. had to find an alternative living for himself and so he founded Allinson's bread. The same goes for the tobacco industry.
To all of you peddling the 'animals don't have feelings', 'we need meat in our diets' or 'climate change doesn't exist' myths, you'll be the ones who are ridiculed in years to come (if not already), not vegans. Vegans will likely be written into history as the saviours.
Preach. LOL
First I heard you swear Ed. Your so passive about these uneducated sap's. Keep fighting for animals, let's be there voices. 💪
I think you amazing Ed, you inspire me so much with your chats and your work. I have been vegan for three weeks and it's the best thing I have ever done! I feel like I have woken up :) but unfortunately it's into a horror show of abuse and lies and this makes me so sad and angry. I see the world so differently now, but I also see so much positive in all the vegans who are out there making this change. I can see and feel the change so obviously, thank you so much for your content it's so helpful and educational, your a beautiful soul xx
You are amazing, you are changing so many peoples lives ❤️❤️
Those living beings totally lose it, they try to fight and escape.
People once said the same bullshit about other human beings: In a old history book I found the extraction of the journal of a clergyman. He was working on a slave ship and wrote that the Africans were like cattle, stupid AND without a soul... in conclusion it was okay to do whatever you felt like doing!
It is "healthy" to believe in a better future for all living beings BUT we won´t achieve that with humanity sticking around.
You might be able to change the mind setting of a few people but you are fooling yourself when you truly believe that human beings will wake up one day and see how depraved they are.
To change means to change every day, make the "right" decisions every day, work hard on yourself and never stop trying to be more than society dictates you to be.
It doesn´t matter if you give up cigarettes, alcohol, sugar or animal based products, you have to make that decision alone and fight to follow your new path.
I didn´t stop eating meat because I was allergic or it didn´t taste good any longer, once I understood the value of life and that you are the one responsible for your life style I started hating myself for not caring enough.
Doing something simply because society allows it or everyone else does it too is just brain amputated - my brain tells me that I am special because I am human BUT at the same time it reveals to me that with great power comes great responsibility.
Stop believing the lies society, religions and companies tell you, stop being cattle feeding on other cattle, be human, be more, be conscious of your actions because this planet is one organism and you are part of it.
I just came across your channel and I am hooked. I really like how you are so calm and are trying to educate people. I have only been Vegan for 2 months and changed my life style because I felt, well yulky is the best word. Now I am getting into the moral side. I just wanted to thank you.
I believe we have canines for the pinpoint pressure they provide when crushing something between them. Really good for crushing seeds.
You´re so well spoken and intelligent!
I have Sarcoidosis Lymphoma, for the most I have to eat a lot of meat to maintain my muscle and stay strong as well as eating wholemeal grains, veg and fruits.
What I noticed when I heard about a USA clinic with a break through anti cancer diet was that it consisted of mainly high doses of veg, sprouts, reds and purples in color.
However, this is not the same diet that is advised by dietitians. The reason can be seen by the next statistic, that I found that said that those who had a well rounded diet (meats/ veg fruit and some grain) were more likely to not get cancer, and those who ate mainly meat and small veg were next inline,
last were those who whilst still getting all their minerals ate Vegan and it was noted that cancer was increased from 18%-23%.
We know that eating some plants can be harmful. We know that some plants emit a variety of poisons at certain times to stop the eating of their foliage.
Some plants are known to be tasty and good for you. But if you eat 10 cases of mangoes(approx 140 mangoes)over a week you will most likely get the bloated rubber lips and bad bowels.
@Leslie Grayson... You do NOT have to justify eating meat to this hippy or to ANYONE ..
If you want to eat me..They you eat meat Leslie... You life is YOUR life ..NOT anyone else's.
I eat meat and there is NOT A THING anyone can do about it. My life and MY choice. ...Kind regards Brian
please do more videos like this, their great!!!!!
it really ads to your channel, a bit of sarcastic humour is a really nice change.
you're great, keep up the fight brother.
Entertaining yet logical and compassionate video. Brilliant as always, Ed!
For anyone wondering the background music is the instrumental of "life" by J dilla . He samled the piano from a miles Davis song "blue in green" I believe
Love you Ed! I love videos like these, but i swear you make it seem like an entirely new experience. So happy to see how your channel has grown!
THE EPIC PASTA ARGUMENT! DUN! DUN! DUN! 😂🍝😂🍝😂🍝😂
Damn bro the last one was intense lmao that's the calmest way I've ever heard a threat delivered
10:25
Ed is sooo articulate and incredibly intelligent! Woww
