      I know you may not see this Ed, but I havr a question. Also im so greatful for what you do/promote. I am vegan, i grew up on a cattle ranch, i switched for health and i have studied plant base nutrition, its my career path when i leave the american navy. I find that sometimes the morality animal rights perspective can be harder to show/convince people with. I am wondering is there a reason that the majority of your debates are based on the animal suffering perspective and not as much the health and enviornmental perspective? I do think the animal perspective is very important, my question derives just out of curiousity.
      Thank you!

      It is interesting how we can spot same technique you describe the couple uses within vegans. As a vegan myself I did exactly the same thing of pointing out flaws and not listening to non vegans in the beginning of my journey. Learned a lot about empathy since. It is so great to see how Ed has learned to listen and to accept other people have different live stories that lead them to their believes. He always seems to give others the feeling their opinion is valid in existing and then challenges them to see if that opinion is in line with their other believes or challenges them to see something valuable in trying to change their opinion.

      And may I add that calves get enough to drink and all cows are really content, lazy looking animals that they are and the forced impregnation aint exactly true because they can only be pregnated when they are horny and then they want someone to stuff a semen in them, I could continue correcting this vegan propaganga to you about cows all day long.

In olden days before herbicides and fungicides and before we washed everything so well, we used to eat small trace amounts of dirt which contained bacteria giving us B12. This is how cows used to get it as well. Now with all our chemical use such as herbicides and washing of food before eating it super well those bacteria die and just don't get eaten by us or cows. In conventional factory farming cows and animals are themselves given B12 supplements.

There is not a different world view when it is measurable with equipment, the physiological effect of emotive response to stress and pain, and to the effects of animal agriculture upon the environment. It is all measurable, quantifiable, and not truly justifiable just as history shows that neo liberalism is not justifiable and has indeed, damaged our society and our planet. (The subject of animal rights and neo liberalism are quite related, actually).
      There is nothing wrong with being a creationist. And though yes, it was dismissive, and perhaps not the most appropriate reaction, to assume that a creationist is less intelligent than one who is not, it is an understandable position when it is a stereotype due to visible examples and anecdotal examples of creationists also being closed minded, hurtful, and for having views based only upon a dogma rather than introspection or otherwise questioning. It is tiring to come up against that dogma.

Who has 3 hours with every person they speak with, to break through the dogma to the actual person's philosophical thoughts?

      It's important to understand the topic very well. Not just understanding your own perspective, but understanding the perspective of those you are talking to. The trick to effective argumentation is understanding the road map between their perspective and yours, so that you can effectively navigate them along that path through discussion. Sometimes people will have strong emotional barriers and will actively resist accepting a particular point or points, which is totally normal, but hard to deal with in the moment. I think that is where arguing is most difficult.

Think about her logic "Slaughter is humane because ... " Then she says it's humane up until slaughter - Ok you just disproved your own point. The she jumbles around that there's no stressors, and when asked if she'd have her dog euthanized at a slaughter house, she diverted the question to the euthanasia processes in a vet and didn't answer the question. They talk about stunning as if it is proven to render the animal unconscious and that they feel no pain but that has never been proven to be true in any study that stunning removes nociception or awareness, and you can see the videos of this happening, the animals are still clearly in pain. I emailed the guy who set up these guidelines for this at HSA and he wasn't able to provide any evidence either to defend their own words. They claim:
      "Slaughter can be humane if an animal is protected from avoidable excitement, pain or suffering. To achieve this, the animal must be effectively restrained and then stunned, rendering it insensible to pain, and finally bled rapidly and profusely to ensure death before recovery could occur."
      This statement is self-contradictory as, the pain is in fact avoidable, by not slaughtering animals.

      To be fair, that girl had a perfectly logical and respectful discussion with Ed though. Like Ed has pointed it out in multiple occasions when you are raised in a certain way your brain takes some things for granted and you make some logical leaps like the one you mention. Her reason for 'euthanizing' the animal was because she would no longer be able to feed it (she said so in the end). And that's a perfectly good reason to do it (almost as valid as an incurable disease) BUT (according to Ed's response) the problem is exactly that. The way the dairy industry is setup, this outcome is expected and unavoidable.

      You're also appealing to nature as inherently virtuous as a reason for me to accept your argument that we should be vegan on the grounds that we are built to eat both plants and meat. Nature is not inherently virtuous. Just because we have the ability to eat meat, that doesn't necessitate that we ought to do it. You're deriving an ought from an is. It's fallacious.
      This isn't good enough, we can live healthy long lives, longer, actually, by switching over to plant based alternatives. But even the health argument isn't enough to morally justify the exploitation, killing and even torture, of animals.
      Labelling my position as vegan logic does nothing to advance an actual argument and is merely an attempt at ridiculing the position to make it appear weaker than it really is, I suspect, deliberately as a way of easing your own conscience so you can continue to bend over backwards to justify the absolutely abhorrent way we treat animals for the sake of sensory pleasure.
      Evolutionarily speaking, it made sense that early humans required meat, our developing brains meant we needed a source of high calorie, high protein food to fuel our development. This makes sense in an environment where food is scarce and difficult to obtain. Foraging for plants and berries and nuts provided us with nowhere near the nutrition we required, however in the modern day with supermarkets and mass agriculture, we live in an enormously palatable and hyper calorie dense food market, calories and availability of the nutrition that we require are no longer a problem in developed nations, the issue of malnutrition is still an issue of course, one that we do have the ability to solve, unfortunately, nobody actually wants to solve the issue because nobody is prepared to do what is necessary to solve it, making all kinds of justifications for it.
      For example, humans produce enough food to feed the entire world numerous times over, but much of this food goes into producing animal feed, which is an inefficient process, given that it takes so much food and water to produce a kilogram of meat.
      Overall I can't see any reasonable justification for eating meat over plant based alternatives. Health based claims dont hold up to scrutiny, moral claims dont hold up to scrutiny, economic ones. It would be irrational of me to eat meat over plant based alternatives.

But if we all realized the potential and capability for good of our actions, our words, even our thoughts, then what sort of world would we have?
      I’d like the second world better. It’s kinder, more compassionate, more brave. And even if I’m the only one making that world a reality, it’s still a better world than where every single human, including me, chooses not to believe in their capacity to change and their capacity for good, and instead wearily accepts defeat without hope of a better world.

This is the reason why young people make up the majority of vegans, im only 19 but i am glad that i did my research unlike many vegans who only see the surface. Veganism targets the young naive population with a weak moral compass who are used to think based on what they are told rather than thinking for themselves.

And methane exists in other places than cows guts too and we release it in the air like crazy for stuff we consider more eco friendly

      That's true but Activism takes time, veganism doesn't. You could put other activities that have a bigger impact than veganism like some big science breakthrough related stuff.

      Fabio119 I encourage you to examine some peer-reviewed research. You don’t have to listen to vegans at all, but revered scientific facts can’t exactly be disputed.

    I don't get it with these people. As soon as I found out what happens on a dairy farm I stopped eating dairy. Even a small dairy farm is causing harm.
