      Yes, many of the current meat industry's practices are immoral, but eating meat in and of itself is not immoral. What's immoral is telling people who need to consume animal products to survive that doing so is immoral. You have no conscience, and until this very real issue is addressed in a viable way, all you're doing is spewing self-righteous BS.

    I raised beef cattle for 20 years. I had to suppress my compassion and do moral acrobatics to justify it. I am not knocking others for doing so but for me I finally could not ignore the cruelty I played a part in. Recently I decided to embrace compassion and no longer participate in the practice. I sold all of the livestock and have moved to a primarily plant based diet.

      Hi there,
      If you do not mind me sharing; abstinence (self-control), exercise, fresh air, nutrition, rest, trust in GOD and water are the laws of health, which if adhered to, will help one live longer. Touching on nutrition, i would recommend opting for an organic, well-planned, unrefined and untempered with vegan diet (preferably consuming fruits, nuts and vegetables in their raw form so as not to denature or destroy the life-forces and enzymatic activities) consisting of organic fruits, vegetables, legumes, nuts, seeds and whole-grains which provides mankind with ultimate health and longevity, i believe, based on experience too. If 'properly planned', it provides the system with the required calcium, carbohydrates, essential vitamins, fats, fibre, minerals, protein and water required to make good blood and enjoy health.
      Moreover, i would also recommend to consume colloidal silver (avoid consuming too much according to gathered information) or colloidal gold if one can (avoiding purchasing from other countries as it may deplete in quality during transportation based on gathered information too).
      If you are one that grows indoor plants or would like to, i would recommend to opt for organic, vegan and peat-free compost, as well as the use of organic liquid feed that does not contain sea weed due to radiation in the seas, i believe. Please have a look at the following video that i believe will be of great help: ua-cam.com/video/Zklb59V5CeM/v-deo.html
      Please Note:
      * Food shortage will lead to a civil war in America.
      * Climate change will lead to Sun-day laws.

      @Bladerunner2043 Gorillas are much bigger than humans so, of course, they will have bigger digestive tract than us. However, human’s digestive tract is much larger than a carnivore’s of comparison size. Like herbivores, human beings naturally produce amylase, the enzyme needed to break down and digest carbohydrates. The rapid development of brain development was due to bioavailability of nutrients from plants as well as the meat after the humans learned to cook.

      It will come naturally. I find it easier to ask questions more than feeling like I have to present anything. Everyone deep down has a moral blueprint that says veganism is right. Just letting them find that themselves. Listen to enough conversations of humane hancock and ed earthling and you'll carry enough with you. There's only a handful of reasons you'll run into most of the time. convenience, taste, habit, culture, etc, so it becomes more second-nature overtime to ask the right Q's. Should do your absolute best to speak in a way that they don't become defensive, conversation is as good as over at that point, and may even strengthen their feelings towards meat-eating. Just relaxed, questioning, sharing your true experience and thoughts in the simplest way possible.

      You have quite the archaic understanding of modern zoos. If you truly love animals and the planet you should support the work of your local zoos. Modern zoos main goal is species conservation, rescue, and breeding endangered animals to increase the gene pool and save animals from extinction. The animals in zoos are not plucked from the wild for us to look at. They are usually rescued, or saved from private collections. The only time an animal is ever taken from the wild is if it is needed for genetic diversity to save the species from extinction, and even then it is rarely done, because wild born animals do not adapt to zoo life. Then there is the major role they play in education and awareness raising, and real fund raising for conservation. A lot more goes on behind the scenes than you realise.

      Hi there,
      If you do not mind me sharing; abstinence (self-control), exercise, fresh air, nutrition, rest, trust in GOD and water are the laws of health, which if adhered to, will help one live longer. Touching on nutrition, i would recommend opting for an organic, well-planned, unrefined and untempered with vegan diet (preferably consuming fruits, nuts and vegetables in their raw form so as not to denature or destroy the life-forces and enzymatic activities) consisting of organic fruits, vegetables, legumes, nuts, seeds and whole-grains which provides mankind with ultimate health and longevity, i believe, based on experience too. If 'properly planned', it provides the system with the required calcium, carbohydrates, essential vitamins, fats, fibre, minerals, protein and water required to make good blood and enjoy health.
      Moreover, i would also recommend to consume colloidal silver (avoid consuming too much according to gathered information) or colloidal gold if one can (avoiding purchasing from other countries as it may deplete in quality during transportation based on gathered information too).
      If you are one that grows indoor plants or would like to, i would recommend to opt for organic, vegan and peat-free compost, as well as the use of organic liquid feed that does not contain sea weed due to radiation in the seas, i believe. Please have a look at the following video that i believe will be of great help: ua-cam.com/video/Zklb59V5CeM/v-deo.html

    Big fan of Ed. The issue I see with peers that deter them from embracing veganism, is the idea that they don’t make choices based on right and wrong, but what is currently socially justifiable. And it feels as if there is no hope in convincing some one to switch a diet, when they fundamentally allow social standards to dictate their morality.

The youngest one became vegan at 21, the older one eats little meat and is vegan-accepting but has not taken the final steps, and the spouse is now an ex who is closed minded and impervious. I am now 64 ( lawyer for 17 years, educator, parent) and believe that one of the best things that I have ever done in my life is having figured out why veganism is the moral way to live.

      Hi there,
      If you do not mind me sharing; abstinence (self-control), exercise, fresh air, nutrition, rest, trust in GOD and water are the laws of health, which if adhered to, will help one live longer. Touching on nutrition, i would recommend opting for an organic, well-planned, unrefined and untempered with vegan diet (preferably consuming fruits, nuts and vegetables in their raw form so as not to denature or destroy the life-forces and enzymatic activities) consisting of organic fruits, vegetables, legumes, nuts, seeds and whole-grains which provides mankind with ultimate health and longevity, i believe, based on experience too. If 'properly planned', it provides the system with the required calcium, carbohydrates, essential vitamins, fats, fibre, minerals, protein and water required to make good blood and enjoy health.
      Moreover, i would also recommend to consume colloidal silver (avoid consuming too much according to gathered information) or colloidal gold if one can (avoiding purchasing from other countries as it may deplete in quality during transportation based on gathered information too).
      If you are one that grows indoor plants or would like to, i would recommend to opt for organic, vegan and peat-free compost, as well as the use of organic liquid feed that does not contain sea weed due to radiation in the seas, i believe. Please have a look at the following video that i believe will be of great help: ua-cam.com/video/Zklb59V5CeM/v-deo.html

But I asked the question because it's his life's work dedicated to saving animals from suffering and advocating for veganism, and yet those (possibly) closest to him still don't do what he's advocating for on a large scale. I wonder how that affects him. And it's different than being a flat earther because whether you think the earth is flat doesn't stem from your values and doesn't affect anyone. Ed has passionate values and sees animals being eaten as causing suffering, so others' lives are at stake. But many born again christians do try to get others to see things the way they do too.

    Earthling Ed, you are so amazing. Thank you for all you do. I went vegan nearly 2 years ago after being Vegetarian for 30 years. I had never really thought about or looked into the dairy industry, which seems incredibly naive, now. I try to give people grace because of this, because I might be speaking with someone who, unbeknownst to them, will eventually become vegan, even if they roll their eyes at it right now. That used to be me. I changed. Change happens. But there is also the recognition that, contrary to what Ed says (and I wish were true), not everybody wants to create a better world. Not everybody cares about animals as beings who suffer. Not everybody has empathy. There is an alarming section of the population who could not care less and who rejoice in cruelty for cruelty's sake. There was an episode on Impractical Jokers where one of the jokers (I believe it was Murr), was posing as a waiter at a restaurant. He says the special of the day is (something to the effect of) lambs who experienced extra suffering and torture. Guess what they ordered? The lamb with extra suffering. Sick. So, yeah, unfortunately, some people will just never give a shit. Our society is truly sick.

    Regarding regenerative farming - does the equation change much if it goes along with the need for people to eat far less "protein" (from pasture raised animals), and more plants? I grew up in a grain farming family in the midwest - and see first hand just how broken the system is. All the farmground in the mid-west is seemingly used to grow useless crops that are killing society - high fructose corn syrup, genetically modified wheat, soybean oil - white corn for more doritos... it's all so sad. The narrative that I heard growing up is that the farmers in the mid-west feed the world, but in reality - we have ruined the health of people that will take generations to undo.

      Thanks for your input Sarah. From the studies earthling Ed often resorts to, it’s something like 73% of farmland is used for livestock feed and for livestock. Over half of crops grown are fed to animals, so those industries can fatten their wallets while exploiting these innocent animals, as well as exploiting communities and even their customers getting sick from too much animal products. I agree the system is so flawed. The soil is basically “dead”, so they use chemical nitrogen fertilizers to make crops grow. There’s a great documentary on Netflix called Kiss the Ground about how tilling the earth is ruining the soil and releasing large amounts of carbon.

      Just lies we tell ourselves to alleviate the guilt associated with supporting clear and unnecessary animal harm.
      "We have to eat animals", "it's too expensive not too", "it's unhealthy not to eat animals", "the animals have long and happy lives". None of it is true but too many seems to fall back on these "justifications".

      Hi there,
      If you do not mind me sharing; abstinence (self-control), exercise, fresh air, nutrition, rest, trust in GOD and water are the laws of health, which if adhered to, will help one live longer. Touching on nutrition, i would recommend opting for an organic, well-planned, unrefined and untempered with vegan diet (preferably consuming fruits, nuts and vegetables in their raw form so as not to denature or destroy the life-forces and enzymatic activities) consisting of organic fruits, vegetables, legumes, nuts, seeds and whole-grains which provides mankind with ultimate health and longevity, i believe, based on experience too. If 'properly planned', it provides the system with the required calcium, carbohydrates, essential vitamins, fats, fibre, minerals, protein and water required to make good blood and enjoy health.
      Moreover, i would also recommend to consume colloidal silver (avoid consuming too much according to gathered information) or colloidal gold if one can (avoiding purchasing from other countries as it may deplete in quality during transportation based on gathered information too).
      If you are one that grows indoor plants or would like to, i would recommend to opt for organic, vegan and peat-free compost, as well as the use of organic liquid feed that does not contain sea weed due to radiation in the seas, i believe. Please have a look at this video that i believe will be of great help ua-cam.com/video/Zklb59V5CeM/v-deo.html
      Please Note:

      * Climate change will lead to Sun-day laws.

Whole food plant based diet will change your life and change how you view the world. If your planing on trying it, I believe in you and am proud. It’s hard to break away from the norm, but you got it💪

    “Nothing we do lacks a certain kind of downstream impact” is so true. That is why as humans we have the intellect for conscious choice. I am close to being a vegetarian still eating the occasional meal of fowl and fish but moving to a lesser amount more often. I have wondered if I could give up my sparingly consumption, as well as diary and eggs, which is why I am here to listen to this podcast. I tend to buy organic products including diary and free range egg production but I do know that there is an impact toward “others” even in these choices. A wonderful and enlightening conversation with these two men and the issues they discussed for all of us to consider. I had no idea of what those arguments were in greater depth such as regenerative practices. We do convince ourselves in our positions, don’t we?

    • @swarming1092
      @swarming1092 2 роки тому +9

      Thanks for being open minded. Can I recommend watching Ed's documentary 'Land of Hope and Glory'? There's also Milked (a new one about the dairy industry in New Zealand), Cowspiracy (which covers all areas), Dominion (covers all areas but mostly in Australia), and Seaspiracy (covers fishing). I strongly suspect that afterwards you will find the motivation to cut the last few bits out! Dairy in particular is a horribly cruel and violent industry, and dairy is terrible for our health - for women it can cause much higher risk of breast cancer, and of colon cancer for men, as well as correlating with higher risk of heart disease. When we can just buy oat milk or almond milk, or get grated vegan cheese (which I promise can be really good!) or vegan yoghurt, why not watch a few documentaries and give it a go for a month, see how you get on?

      @@swarming1092 Thanks for the documentary suggestions. I’ll see if I can locate them and am interested in what you’ve had to say. I decided to cut out dairy. I’ve had vegan cheese and know of Sri-mu from Rich Roll’s podcast, as it’s his wife’s company. I’m heading in the vegan direction and it’s only a matter of finding foods and recipes. I can put out the effort which I’m willing to do. I’ve lost weight and that helps motivate me besides the moral and environmental reasons. I appreciate you taking time to write a response and saw I had notifications, so thanks again. It’s nice to see other people caring about the vegan way.
