"Real men eat meat, and going vegan makes you a weak soy boy."
We have this idea that to be a real man you have to eat animal flesh, and that by going vegan you are suddenly emasculating yourself. So, is this actually true?

It's more manly to protect the innocent, the oppressed, or the weak than to harm or kill them
and even if it was manly, it wouldn't matter. kindness is more important than what's considered manly or feminine.
@@veganfortheanimals6994 Awesome I'mma go shoot up a slaughter house. Fight the power ✊🏾✊🏿
Its called nature, humans are carnivores by default, someone try prove me wrong guarantee you cant
Well that's got to be the most horrifying Earthling Ed thumbnail I've ever seen.
I don’t know, I kinda liked it.
@@AerodynamicAlex same lmao
Same
I was like, "oh my goodness, ed"
imagine buff ed walking towards you armed with knowledge and strength... i’d run for my life
The only masculinity advice I needed growing up was "Be your own man"
Exactly! Respect to you!
Nobody ever had to tell me whats "manly" or not! I say whats manly!
I like that 🖤
Agreed
@Oliver Cromwell outstanding move
It's more manly to protect the innocent, the oppressed, or the weak than to harm or kill them.
Yep. If people think it’s manly to eat meat then I guess it’s manly to bully little kids too
Love this. Oh, my!
like a Vegan Knight ✌
@@veganlifting4145 Hunting, or exploiting, hurting or killing animals for any reason is about as manly as going down to the playground and beating up a 5 year-old. It's the ultimate and most extreme form of bullying
@@veganfortheanimals6994 exactly. Couldn’t agree more
What's manly and sexy: protecting the weak.
What if you are the weak?
@Sequoiah Dreams manliness means strength and courageous. If don’t know yet the meaning of manliness then i think you should go check it out.
@Oliver Cromwell Maybe you're the brainwashed here. Thinking that to be big, strong, and manly you have to live like a carnivore. Gorillas are big and strong and they don't eat meat.
@Martin Svensson The way you think is toxic. Men are not the only ones who provide food for their families nowadays. Women work for their families too, not just men. Not everyone can even physically eat meat due to their health. So by force, those men with families would have to bring other sorts of foods to the table to feed them. We need to eat wheat, fruits, and vegetables too. Think about that. In our diets, meat is not the most important thing to consume.
You've never got out the city if you perceive animals as weak
When my husband went vegan, I respected him so much more than before! I think it’s sexy to stand for your values and wanting to protect other beings!
Feminized.
@@rappatenebrense if being feminized means being a good husband and a open hearted human being than count me in as the gayest feminine man around...if I was a man 😂
@@RoseRocket Veganism has nothing to do with being a good husband, just with wrongly thinking you're helping the animals by not eating meat, when in reality vegans kill more animals than meat eaters kill cows
Oliver Cromwell let me rephrase this: I stand for my right being cruel to animals. I will defend the torture and killing even it is unnecessary. I feel attacked by the belief that the killing must end. Because I want to take part in it.
rappatenebrense your Right... I actually think men who die of heart disease are sexy. I think mean who pay money for wrapped up body parts are hot. Men who support a system of unnecessary torture killing of innocent beings. Who pay so workers who get paid poorly, are often hurt at work and have little- no protection at work... for 15minutes of pleasure... oh and men who drink breast milk like a little baby! Hmmm sooo my type..
"Whats manly about using high powered scoped rifles hiding in camouflage to kill a defenseless and unsuspecting animal" absolutely loved that
Easy for you to say behind your screen. You couldn’t kill an animal if your life depended on it. HUNTING IS HARD WORK!
Btw look at those horns! It’s not defenceless at all

@@ZackCollis do you think my dad just teleports to the deer to shoot it? No, he will go hiking for multiple days to find it. Deer have better eyesight, sense of smell, and hearing than humans making it very difficult to get close to them. You couldn’t get close to a wild deer if your life depended on it
@@motleycat5030 Wow, Thats real talent right there. Finding a deer. Give your dad a gold medal for being the most talentless person on earth
Unfortunately this is so true. My father says it all the time that real men eat meat. I'm glad you're talking about this.
Lol that’s such an old fashioned boomer way of thinking. My dad is the same way

@@MayorBrownn My dad went plant based only in diet a year after me butt we still but heads because he thinks animals are robots that don't suffer. It's insufferable

It’s funny because meat and dairy are extremely high in estrogen
Hold my beer (which is full of pseudo-estrogens)
Being vegan doesnt mean you can bullshit
@vestige feel free to drop sources for your claims. idk how drinking milk from a female mammal animal doesnt mean that her milk is basically free from estrogen.
eating phytoestrogens, such as those found in plants, raises T aswell and reduces cholesterol -- phytoestrogens dock in the same place real estrogen would dock, therefore increasing testosterone levels.

@vestige
did you watch the video?
This is all new territory for me. The older I get, the less inclined I am to be roped into the stigma and pressure to be what society deems appropriate. I grew up eating meat, and A LOT of it. I'm beginning to feel the effects physically, whilst emotionally grappling with the moral implications of taking life so that I may live. I'm honestly stumbling in the dark, because I have no idea where to start, but I know this is a lifestyle change that I MUST incorporate, for my health and sanity. Thanks for sharing such an eye opening and inspiring video.

I went vegan 3 years ago. This year my cholesterol of 103, and testosterone of 729, left my doctor surprised when he found out I'm vegan.
that is a pretty low test level for a healthy man.
@@rose6610 oh that's funny, considering that a healthy range is 264-914 ng/dL, with the average being 669 ng/dL for males 24-29.
Sounds like somebody is projecting some insecurities here. Good luck out there, dummy
Associating meat consumption with "manliness" is pure projection of insecurities.
it has always been a marketing ploy, nothing else
@@govegannotfeegan4854 incorrect. Vegan men look feminised.
Eating meat is the best food you can ever eat, as a human being. Its protein-rich, you feel really good, energetic after eating it, its extremely enjoyable/tasty and very healthy. In fact, YOU project your insecurities because deep down you know you want to eat meat.. Its in our nature.. just continue suffering, starving, craving meat and feel like shit pretending being a herbivore, while I eat my steaks, chicken breasts, chicken wings, bacon, eggs, milk ect... and feel awesome. :)
@@UrielCopy spot on 👌
@@AliceRoche-ii2ke what a pathetic existence... Haha
You have over a thousand comments on this channel?!!! It bothers you so much that others aren't riddled with insecurities, that others are able to exercise freedom of thought, that others show compassion, that others are able to live longer, healthier more fulfilling lives??? I'd pity you if you weren't a clowning troll hahaha
Eating a tofu and veggie stir fry right now as I watch this. 60 grams of protein 😉

Man you need more likes xD but yeah I'm happi to see so many more vegans
Real men don't need to prove themselves.
True, but if your talking about meat, shut up
Exactly what I never understood the concept of eating meat is manly, I mean which make more sense, who is stronger, the one who suppresses the weak or the one who defend it?
I always saw it as ... Who is stronger a single elephant or a single lion? An elephant would crush a lion, yet he's vegan.
The one who eats his species diet, a.k.a animal foods.
@@LadyCoyKoi the lack of logic in this comment is the reason why so many people fall for veganism.
@@LadyCoyKoi the elephant is a herbivore
I was just thinking today that I really find men who dare to do things that are seen as soft and feminine, to be extra masculine. Because it requires courage.
You’re a legend! We need more people like you in this world

@@UrielCopy I’m one of those people you’d like to see more of. Yes, we may contribute to science, but he contributes to humanity, rebalancing values..most people on TH-cam are just showing what they eat or their body!!
I went vegan overnight in 2012 and I was boxing regularly at the time. I went from average fitness to ultra fit in a matter of a few months. I found myself able to cycle quickly with loads of uphills to the gym on a BMX and when training I was faster and fitter than any of the other guys at the gym. My recovery times were minimal, and I always felt energised afterwards. I didn’t make the connection at the time but I look back now and realise the massive difference my big change in diet made to my fitness levels.
In India if one person tells another: "YOU MUST DO THIS", the other may say: "IS THIS A VEDIC INJUNCTION, THAT I HAVE TO FOLLOW WITHOUT ANY ARGUMENT? ". Vedic transcendental knowledge is knowledge from beyond this universe and comes from the spiritual world, from Lord... Originally there was only one Veda. People were so intelligent and had such sharp memories, that by once hearing from the lips of the spiritual master they would understand. They would immediately grasp the whole purport. But 5000 years ago Vyasadeva put the Vedas in writing for the people in this age, Kali-yuga. He knew, that eventually the people would be short-lived, their memories would be very poor and their intelligence would not be very sharp. He divided the Vedas into four. The four Vedas and the Upanisads (part of the Vedas), the 18 Puranas, the Mahabharata (the history of India) are all part of the Vedic literature. Summarised Vedic knowledge is called the Vedanta-sutra and the Vedanta-sutra is perfectly explained by the writer (Vyasadeva) himself in Srimad-Bhagavatam. We request to try to understand the explanation of all Vedic knowledge from Bhagavad-gita and from Srimad-Bhagavatam.
Masculine: I'm a slave to my taste buds
Feminine: I value life
"Masculine": In my heart i know that animal slaughter is wrong, but i want to fit in, i dont want them to outcast me....
"Feminine": You know what!? I make my own descissions and follow my heart! Thats what independent smart people do, go vegan!
Masculine: i need to norture my body, so I eat animal foods. Its a whole food that appeals to my senses for a good reason.
Feminine: I hate that these little cute things have to die for me to norture my body, but I do it either way, because I value my health and know that animal foods provide vitamins and protein in a bioavailable way that cannot be compared to any manmade plant food.
@@rappatenebrense "Norture my body" LMAO Go Vegan!
@Oliver Cromwell What if someone's values involved killing your family members?
@Oliver Cromwell Oh .. so we have a legalist here: someone who believes laws grow naturaly in trees.

💯 thanks for putting this video out there Ed!!! I’m so proud of all you vegan guys out there staying strong and not letting people put you down or tell you otherwise! You guys are AWESOME!! 🌱
Thankyou for another great video! Sent this one to my 70 y/o dad. He's who showed me that animals aren't here for us but with us, and kindled my love for nature as a kid... Although he tucks into flesh every day 😢 he admits to hypocrisy, one day 🤞💚💚💚
Not related to the video, but I lost my little budgie yesterday. It was very painful watching it die in front of my eyes, and I couldn’t do anything about it.
I can’t even watch such a little bird be sick, how can I ever be with a man that supports killing innocent creatures?🥺
Real men defend animals!
Animals have families
just like us!
Animals feel pain
just like us!
Their bodies,
not ours!
Their lives,
not ours!
Right
Definitely a major hurdle for a lot of men to overcome the perception of meat eating being tied up in the whole idea of manliness.
It really blinds so many to the logical arguments against meat eating, factory farming etc.
Ironically it's the best aspects of our character (logic, empathy etc) that supports embracing a meat free lifestyle and only weakness, ignorance and insecurities that oppose it.
YES ED!!! Y🙏🏻E🙏🏻S🙏🏻
Adressing both the issue around masculinity being tied into meat-eating and heavily sexualized women in commercials catered to men!
Not all! 🌱💚💪😉
I am a vegetarian now and have been for a month and a half. I think it is stupid and idiotic to sell that "Real Men Eat Meat!!!!" idea. Aside from the choice of vegetarianism or veganism, what if that man CAN'T eat meat due to medical issues or allergies??? Seriously, society needs to stop feminizing men for choosing to become vegetarian or vegan. Today, 1/5 men are choosing not to eat meat. Long before, it was 1/20 men who have chosen not to eat meat. When will society learn to leave men and their vegetarianism or veganism alone and to stop telling them they need to eat meat??? I don't miss the meat at all whatsoever but I don't believe I can do the vegan thing.
It's easier for me to put on muscle as a vegan. Soyboy loud and proud. Better a soyboy than a cowboy 😎
Some mildly relevant point mixed in with a considerable amount of pseudoscience bullshit, the vast majority of men and WOMEN eat meat because they enjoy and because it is dense in nutrients/high in protein and we are omnivores. Furthermore i agree big game/trophy hunting is disgusting but hunting animals for the table is entirely different.
This is such a good video and the WORLD needs to see it keep it up!!!
Nah
@@Ales191 okay kid 😂 tell me when you’re ready for an actual conversation 🤣
@@dreambird2958 okay 😂
A vegan diet doesn’t necessarily give you better testosterone levels. It’s just that most meat eaters don’t care about their health in the first place and they eat like shit. U can maximize ur natural testosterone without being Vegan. However going vegan for ethical reasons sounds good to me but if you wanna maximize your health benefits u don’t have to go vegan.
@Abel Abel to feel the best possible.
The reason I commented is because at one point ED said that vegans had better T levels than meat eaters ,but wut about the healthy people that eats meat.
Masculinity in its core is about protecting those who can't protect themselves.
I sent this to my boyfriend. I hope he is vegan one day
Fingers crossed
you should dump your boyfriend, because that goes against your morals
if someone enjoys meat they dont want to hear vegans pushing their ideals on them cause its annoying, let him eat what he wants to.
@@cattygirl6663 you mean let him eat WHO he wants to.
@@summerskye9783 exactly yeah, let him eat anything he wants to cause its his choice.
Exactly. I’m vegan and non-binary, and I do not only detest hurting innocent creatures, I also hate the overly gendered stuff
The number of men nowadays who truly believe that they must eat meat to be manly is such a small percentage it's not even worth mentioning, let along make a video about.
This video is made on a premise that men who eat meat do so to feed ego or manliness as if that's some undisputed fact everyone knows about. It ignores the fact that meat just tastes fucking good.
@@ssjgoten202 It also ignores the nutritional value of meat. Gee, I wonder why 85 percent of people who go vegan go back to eating meat within a year.
You make such a good point here. Thousands of years ago it was about providing for your family and community. Not just about killing for profit. Our food chain today is about as far away as you could get.fron that. Please keep telling people what it is all about.
I know what I'm having for dinner tonight, seitan steak, and french fries.
Ed is an icon!!!💚💚💚
People eat meat because it's fucking delicious.
Don't shame them for eating meat
They should be ashamed of themselves needing no one to shame them, but they are not. Just as rapists aren't ashamed.
@@JungleJoeVN Comparing normal all day people you don't even know to rapists, just shows how blindly Indoctrinated you are by this Propaganda. In any case, you are very far away from reason if you think all people who eat meat are heartless devils
@@truespain318 They are, especially you.
Believe in what you want
After all, we live in an age where things like stupidity and ignorance are accepted. Especially people like you. People who believe that they can think outside the box and are therefore better. But in reality, they make themselves look like complete idiots and act as if they were God's gift to earth.
@@truespain318 As if "people like me" believe in your god. Don't insult yourself anymore, I can't take it.
I'm a socially, environmental, nutrition-based, vegan male. I'm proud the world's norms fear me. 👌 💪
Whether one agrees with him or not, I have to say Ed’s approach is outstanding - respectful and fact based. It shows how many bridges we can build in this world, rather than dividing ourselves along invisible lines.
Such lies!
Mentally strong men only eat fruits and veggies 🍉🍒🥦🥑🍆💪
Paying someone to exploit and abuse animals so that you can eat and wear their corpses and secretions doesn't make you a real man-it makes you a coward. Same with hunting, fishing, and dominating animals for entertainment. Real men face the reality of animal cruelty, take ownership of their actions, and defend the victims of violence.
#VeganForLife
Eating excessive red meat can possibly lead to your uhh...digging stick malfunctioning.
Veganism isnt for everyone. Ive seen people that have lost too much weight. My cousin is "vegan" even though shes ended up in the hospital for it. So now she eats eggs fish and chicken here and there. Shes in college and when she started, she would get horrible migraines but once she incorporated eggs again, it helped tremendously. Not everyone can eat meat either though. Especially regular processed abused meat. I personally will always need meat but I know I dont need it everyday. I like greens fruits and veggies too so I have a balance. I would say paleo is the way to go and would help a lot of people. America is so used to stuffing their faces multiple times a day in hefty servings. Its changing but needs to change more. Also its not about being manly or what the hell ever, I think it should be about tending to your own body...
@Negan The Vegan I like to listen to my own body.
@Abel Abel we all have our opinions. Its a lifestyle for you and its a diet thing to me. Shouldnt matter to you what I think though.
@Jonah Whale because her listening to her body was proof enough...
So many of you vegans get so offended.
@Abel Abel the point is, it matters to you and thats understandable and clear.
100% anecdotal, I train MT And BJJ... Or I used to before covid... When I went vegan my cardio went up and my weight went down, revovering time and soreness also shortened... Never going back
Even if the opposite was true, I would not go back because I am not gargamel haha cheers
One of the main reasons I was afraid to go vegan is that I was already very skinny and I was worried that I would have to build massive muscles to justify my diet
It's just the meat and dairy industry that drill that ideal in. There is protein in plants aswell.
I would say the act of shooting rifles in hunting is what makes it masculine not necessarily the act of killing an animal, itself (so does the camouflage clothes, since it ads to the whole military image). Another part of masculinity is being able to protect/defend your family and provide a sense of safety and security. And a man who knows how to use a gun and has one can better defend his family from both unwanted animals and humans. And if a man knows how to hunt, it's hard to argue that he doesn't know how to use a gun. Historically, men where the ones to join the military, go to wars, if a fight in a bar broke out, the man would be expected to protect his woman, you had men dueling for women, the whole prince saves the princes trope, etc... In the majority of countries that have the draft, men are required to serve in the military but not women. I do think that sometimes violence is necessary and men are usually the ones who are expected to provide it and put their lives at risk in the process. And hunting/being a hunter kind of helps create that image of someone who would be willing and able to kill for you if it was necessary in order to save your life without actually putting the man at risk (or I guess at relatively low risk. Hunters do sometimes get killed by animals. Accidents do happen), which activities such as going to war to fight ISIS might do. Or not as life changing as joining the police or the CIA. All of those activities would, of course, be more useful and might actually result in your protecting someone.
Masculinity is linked to strength but it's honestly so weak and fragile ...
Everything is perfect in this video: the message, the editing, the text. 😸👌
I agree with something, eating meat does not make you manly, as many gay queen feminine man also love meat and hot dogs...it only avoids malnourishment.
You should have a conversation with Clarence Kennedy (vegan olympic weightlifter) - if that guy is not "manly" then I don't know who is...
Going vegan was the best decision I ever made.
I've never heard someone say they eat meat to feel manly. They eat meat because it tastes nice?
got to have a fine balance in i have four vegan/veggies meals a weak. and try to eat less red meat. Also a man is not determined by what he eats, but by his conduct, words, and action. also home cook meal beats any fast food. ladies love a man that can cook!
You can enjoy your veggies while i enjoy my steak. convert more people into vegan so there will be more meat for me.
you think around 10 minutes of pleasure is worth:
- The life of an animal
- Risking another pandmic (in factory farms, 80% of our antibiotic supply goes to the animals there, making bacteria resistant to all treatment)
- 50kg of greenhouse gas emissions, some of which are methane, which is 80x more potent than CO2
As a vegetarian woman (transitioning to vegan slowly) theres nothing more attractive than a man conscious about his diet and the industry that produces it. Eating smart is sexy. Being vegan is sexy
Nothing is less manly than obsessing over being perceived as manly.
Exactly. And calling yourself "alpha" screams insecurity.

@@nekochadechu why is your mom concerned about having too much estrogen?
If soy made you feminine, trans women wouldn't need HRT anymore lol (which is super expensive)
It’s exactly crazy. Because they obey how they’re marketed to.
It's not estrogen and its whole form it's called phyto and it doesn't cause estrogen in men it doesn't cause estrogen in anybody it's a precursor to other things and do your scientific research if soy caused men to turn into women in China wouldn't have had to make it so you can only have one child because of overpopulation they eat soy in everything. I've never seen a culture that lives off of tofu or soy products that has a problem with fertility. Though I do not find them more manly I find them to be horrifying people who don't think much about other beings but themselves. Maybe they could use a little less testosterone. Obviously the tofu isn't doing the job. I love me a soy boy. A soy boy isn't weak to me a soy boy is strong! He stand up for animals of all kinds. He will stop traffic on the freeway to save something that's in need. He will miss a day at work to save a harmed animal and get it to where it belongs. Love me my soy boys!

The marketing strategy of the meat industry does look quite similar to the tobacco industry. Doesn't that say enough?
It becomes so obvious and annoying once you break the indoctrination..
I would slightly disagree. Yes they use the same manipulative tactics. But an industry marketing healthy, ethical, or good products will do the same things.
It’s important to remember that marketing in general is just a facade.
You don’t trust the car dealer to sell you a car. But that doesn’t mean the car is a lemon
Not to mention all the studies they have funded to perpetuate what is false as true.
Ironically its the same people same lawyers too, at least in the beginning. Ref: "Salt Sugar Fat, How the Giants Hooked Us". Its a good read.

I know im a man being a vegan dont need a meat eater to tell me otherwise.
Same here, I push heavier weights than most in my gym and I’ve run several 100 mile ultramarathons. Any of the obese meat eaters sitting in McDonald’s don’t get ridiculed.. just us for eating plants.
@@vegannegan9652 I sincerely hope your username is an intentional pun, because it's hilarious with the context of you being a vegan
@@paulb8251 they do. Dont say eating mcdonalds is the same as having a meat based diet, thats just like someone eating fries and soda and saying theyre vegan.
@rappatenebrense McDonald’s fries are not vegan and I would hope anyone who’s taken the time to research Veganism doesn’t drink regularly or at all.. the ones who drink soda and eat crappy food are generally the ones who claim the vegan diet is unhealthy.. which is inaccurate. Just uneducated people.
@@vegannegan9652 lol peta 🤣
Yeah just look at Patrik and most of the other vegan athletes
They are absolute beasts
Not all of us have his genes mate 🤷🏻♂️ so some of us need the fatty meat for our bodies. The same way we are all different on the outside , we are all different on the inside
@@bryanalexander213 What is it in fatty meat that makes it necessary for you to eat it?
@@bryanalexander213 yeah I'm not saying we all can be like him at all but all these things you can get grom plants
We do all have our own unique genes and we all can develop those to their fullest capabilities with what we eat
The body is in the spirit
@@bryanalexander213 But what makes you so sure that meat is what some people need? And not some other protein source or just more quantity? The animals in the industry get all their protein from plants. They are all different aswell. But for some reason you don't think that they need something else in order to get enough protein.
@@InsaneNoizeOfficial meat is very nutrient. Especially when you eat liver and organs of the animal. It has all the minerals the body needs and the fat helps rejuvenate the cells and have the system working.
It takes true character, man or not, to align your actions and morals.
Word ❤
Yes.. Harder than it looks
@Oliver Cromwell 😘
Eating animals was within my morals over 8 years ago when I denied the reality of the suffering faced by millions of innocent and exploited farm animals. I'm glad I've aligned my actions with my morals. My only regret is it took me so long. It takes true strength of character to be vegan despite criticism, and it's worth it!!
@Oliver Cromwell If you eat meat that comes from factory farming, it's probably not within your morals, most people don't really know what it's like in some of these farms, and they would never support it if they did.. I still eat meat btw, just am much more aware than before/still learning how to be better.
Can you make a video about vegan women too? We often are viewed as over-emotional, crazy, and somehow "abusing" our children.
I think there are more female vegans because women in general care more for animals and know what it's like to be considered "other", yet we too face our own set of biases and judgements.
As a male, he's probably not the right person to do that sort of video and do it justice.
Eating animals is cowardly.

@Daniel Welch I think that you misunderstood them
this reminds me of bullies who hurt others just to think of themselves as ''tuff''
They are like bottomless holes that feed on the tears of their peers and never have enough.
@Oliver Cromwell You aren't going to stop any of us from living vegan. If vegan videos bother you, then stop watching. There are plenty of animal abuse videos for you to watch, and they will all adore your comments. Go join your people, and you will find the acceptance you are seeking.
@Oliver Cromwell I know you work for a company that slaughters pigs, because you've mentioned it in a previous comment. Obviously no one is stopping you from eating what you want, because that is your choice. You just seem angry and hostile. I don't know why you are irritated by the vegan community. I'm just saying, take a breath, relax, we're all dealing with frustrations from COVID, etc. I hope whatever is angering you will subside. Wishing you peace.
@Oliver Cromwell Holy shit you're so insecure mate 😂 100+ comments trying to justify your unethical choices
@Oliver Cromwell It's not necessarily your refusal that shows insecurity but the fact you spend all your day on a vegan channel pulling bullshit stats out of your arse desperately trying to prove why enslaving and slaughtering sentient beings is "100% moral".
When I say that I'm vegan most of the people assumes that I'm gay nor man enough
Ironically, it takes way more guts to be vegan and agaisnt the norm than to be an omnivore and "normal" lol
only fragile men would say that...I think there is noting more manly than using your strength to protect the weak.
@@TanjaJohanna exactly! Are super heroes manly? (The guy ones at least). Because super hero’s help save the innocent not kill them. That seems pretty manly to me.
You get to define peoples reactions with your energy. Practice feeling empowered when you say it.
You dont follow the status quo. Your decision to be vegan proves youre someone with his own sense of clarity and ethic. Courage to stand up for something is about as manly as it gets. So kudos to you for being the real man 👏🏽👏🏽👏🏽

Ever since i became vegan i never experienced any of those kind of comments like being “fragile “ or “weak”. It mind blown to me bc i never thought that being vegan ppl would think ur weak, fragile, not a man etc.

@@MarcosIx because my girlfriend was vegan and it fucked her health up. You feel good at first, then normal, then realise your food makes you bloated and gassy, and its downhill from that.
My dad insisted on eating not just the meat but all the fat, gristle and marrow he could. He died a few days after his 65th birthday from cancer. I'm not going out like that.

My boyfriend has been vegan for 3 years and he is no less of a man. I find it way more attractive when a man is compassionate towards animals.
For me vegan men are the most attractive ones, because it proves they thought a lot about life and they have empathy. That's what's making a great man!
For me, it is because they smell better. They have that flowery orange or kiwi scent. Sitting next to one is like you stepped into a Bath and Body Works store. 🤔 🥰
@@iam4600 well I guess I naturally just smell good then regardless of what I’m eating
Too much empathy is a mental illness
Dear Ed,
I want to express how much you've changed my prescription. I adopted a plant based diet about 7 years ago because of Nutritionfacts.org. I was diagnosed with Multiple Sclerosis and a low saturated fat diet is exactly what I needed to save myself. It's worked like a charm, I haven't had symptoms in years, but I always new I was doing it for selfish reasons. I felt good that I was reducing animal suffering and helping save the planet, but I was doing it all for myself. It wasn't until a few months ago when I discovered your channel that my prescription changed.
I think it was comfortable to not consider myself an ethical vegan for the same reason people eat meat. It took the emotion out of it. I wasn't angry at people for eating meat as long as my reasons were selfish. I was disgusted by the sight of meat, but that was my emotion, other people weren't obligated to feel the same in my eyes.
I can't say I'm happy with my new found ethics, because I am currently finding it hard to cope with seeing animal products around me at all. I feel judgmental of my friends and family for not caring more, and I'm more angry at the world. But I also know I can turn that anger into fuel and help change the world. I think I'll join an activist group once the pandemic has eased up.
Thank you for all that you do.
Love this already and haven’t even watched it x

@Tucking Friggered Sheesh, who uses sheesh these days? Sheesh.
When I first went vegan, I will admit that I used to say that I did so for health reasons or some other rationale. Now, I don't hide it. I went vegan so I can leave animals alone.
I felt as though I was bringing up something controversial even when I was answering the question of why I went vegan.
It's very important for us dudes that care about animal welfare to say so when we're questioned about veganism. It breaks the stigma surrounding the subject.
Yes I'm a man. Yes, I don't want animals to needlessly suffer. The one thing this world needs most is compassion and I don't care what gender it comes from.

Strong people choose the good of other living beings and the planet over the ego.
Ego? I don't get it. I've never ran into someone who pumps their chest "YEAH I EAT MEAT!". I know who's vegan though, they always have to let you know, like if it's an achievement or something..
@@humachine5226 wtf, i never heard a vegan say that they are vegan in real life. But i always hear the meat eaters say how dumb vegans are and being triggert.

@@humachine5226 at the end its not about, how vegans are, this isn't an excuse to not go vegan. Animals don't need to be killed
@@idk3626 I was vegan for a year, so I can only speak from personal experience, and to be honest it's not optimal health or nutrition. Giving up high quality meats for substituted foods deteriorated me, i couldn't figure out what was going on till i did some research on human development. Long story short we are omnivores. We can survive just eating fruits and plants but the machine that is our bodys will run like an automobile that was neglected routine services. The body knows what it needs to function correctly more than your minds projection of what is fair for animals, it's part of life. Child birth is painful for a woman but it's part of life, it's human biology, science. Besides, I don't stress what people judge me for, God's judgment is all that matters. So the similar to communist cult type diet with all it's restrictions and convictions, countless supplements to make up, not for me thank you.
