What an excellent presentation! I’m particularly intrigued by Ed’s discussion of how to speak to someone who believes that it is important to eat meat for its protein and to those who don’t take into account the suffering of animals used to produce dairy and eggs. I’m a very passionate vegan and I am trying to learn how to converse in non-accusatory ways with meat eaters. I struggle to stay calm and to ask them the kinds of questions that Ed brought up in order to help them question themselves rather than me simply condemning their positions or avoiding the discussion completely. I will be watching that part of the video again to try to learn how to do this. Thanks so much for this helpful talk!!!
Janine, you won't regret choosing veganism. Dairy and eggs are even more cruel than meat, if I'm speaking honestly. I wish you all the best of luck and success. 👍👍
@@Magar6 Hi thanks. I've decided a bit fearfully to make the change next Saturday. Giving up my fav things eggs yogurt quiche. But Yes it's now or never. I live in a big meat eating country. All the more reason! J.
The first time I heard Ed tell the story of Rupert the Hamster, the part about the realization of animal individuality hit me really hard. It was something I was peripherally aware of, as I had always had dogs in my home, but had never really consciously realized or internalized. It helped me understand that not only are tens of billions of land animals and trillions of marine animals killed every year for no justifiable reason, but that each of those animals is an individual with their own personality, having their own personal experience of terror and fear. This overwhelming realization broke my heart in a way im not sure how to recover from. Im just so thankful to kind people like Ed for doing what they can for those individuals. Its all any of us can do.
Ed Winders, aka Earthling Ed is a super star of gently talking about veganism, a true treasure of our movement! I'm so excited that Jains are also more and more considering veganism, because it truly is inseparable with the ahimsa concept.
Jain are a HUGE UNTAPPED audience. They don't eat plants grown underground because it harms the insects etc. But they are also deeply religious so unless it comes from the top jain spiritual gurus, they won't listen. Very much have a herd mentality. They have so much power, petitioned to have a jain mcdonalds, and they have their own jain residential buildings.. that's how averse they are to meat etc.@russianvegalgirl Hopefully indian activists can appeal to them.
Ed, you have been on a remarkable, awakening journey. Thank you for sharing because it is an essential journey for humanity to make for our collective evolution. Because a vegetarian in 1976 and vegan now for 12 years.
Ed’s always awesome His voice is always so gentle and the way he explains is cool Thanks for always standing up for the defenseless One horrifying thing I learnt from one of his books is that baby cows are being delivered in slaughterhouses as their mothers are slaughtered Another person told me he’s seen eyeballs of cows rolling around on the grounds of slaughterhouses We are creating hell in slaughterhouses
My hamster was called Fatima. She (accidentally) liked IPA and running around my flat looking for almonds, walnuts, brazil nuts and coconuts. Couldn’t get those in her pouches though. She came when she was called and had tons of personality. Hamsters, like all animals, usually need way more room to run around than the cages they’re put in. Obviously.
Thank you for that video. It helped me find a different approach on how to talk to meat-eaters. I went immediately vegetarian more than 10 years ago after watching the documentary: How to feed the world. Before that I didn't realize any of that issue. Nearly 8 years ago I went vegan. So it took me like 3 years to realize that it is a almost logical consequence to transit to a vegan lifestyle, because if not, I would still be violating my own principles against animal harm. At that time i felt or my perception was, that the this ethical issue wasn't that present in the media or in society in general. But today will all the information and graphic material about animal abuse everywhere I find it hard to understand, why anyone would still support animal suffering through their choice of food. So i get impatient and very frustrated. Asking the other about their beliefs and respecting their views and to really listen, thus provoking a review of their values was a very helpful recommendation.
Well done Ed, please look into Dr. John Mcdougall. He has a 2 part masterclass on Protien and that would benefit your understanding of the protien red herring. Also he speaks on taking isolated concentrated nutrients. While B-12 is necessary for all, it is a bacteria. Vitamin d supplements fall in with categories of doing more harm then good. The main focus of a vegan diet needs to be centered on a starch. 70% is a good base.❤
protein.. Whilst I think the 'starch solution' is great, for me the more varied wfpb diets (such as Fuhrman's nutritarian) make more sense and I personally feel better on it, and think it's better as I age, just having that bit more protein which seems to make resistance exercise easier (I'm 59)
'plant based' is a diet which people could choose for a variety of reasons - animals, health or environment. Vegan is a philosophy that seeks to minimise the exploitation of animals by humans. Veganism includes the rejection of other animal products such taking their skin for leather.
@@yaiirable thanks for taking the time to reply. I’m a wanna be vegan who is plant based. I would consider myself a hypocrite if I called my self a vegan because I still own non vegan products such as furniture, items of clothes etc. I know that plant based people are shunned by vegans but the transition is nit that easy and can take time. To be honest I think a lot of people who say they are vegan aren’t because they aren’t aware of the animal products that are still part of their lives or are not educated in the difference between being plant based and vegan.

Hello Ed. Well Said. I'm a long term 26yrs Vegetarian. Seriously thinking of turning to Veganism. J.

I’m so thankful for Ed. We all need to humble ourselves and pay attention to these critical points

Thank you, Ed, for this talk. I liked your responses to the questions, particularly the question about dairy in India.
Love all your videos Ed. Can't help noticing your hair is so healthy & shiney!

The fact that Ed Winter’s mom isn’t vegan really highlights how difficult it is to get people to see through their cognitive dissonance.
Ed’s always awesome

Oat Milk forever! J.
Has to be organic though. The way they process oats is dubious using chemicals to aid the drying process. We always find a way to ruin things, sadly.
