People need to listen to this man. My first job was in a dairy farm. I stayed there for 6 years then worked in a slaughterhouse but not on the kill floor. I’ve taken many calves from their mothers and I always felt bad about it. They never get over it and they do cry for a long time. The calves get treated the worst but it’s no better for the mothers either. I started there when I was 13 and saw things done to cows worse than shown in Dominion. I felt it was wrong but told myself it was normal. I was raised to believe that. Keep my mouth shut and do my job. I got out of the industry the day I saw a cow bolt out of the slaughterhouse. They had sliced his stomach open while still alive. Staff that came out were all laughing and making bets how far he would get before dropping. They thought it was funny. Take it from me, it’s hell for cows and most people I worked with loved it and laughed while torturing them. I’ve been vegan 4 months now and the industries need to shut down. There was always something that stuck with me about the cows. They have a sense of humour and personality. some would play with me and I swear when I fell over once they thought it was funny. I never forgot that day because I knew then they’re just like us. I regret ever being part of their suffering. If I can change, everyone can. It’s really hell for the animals and nothing funny about it.
That's an incredible story, congrats on making the decision to go vegan. Have you thought about getting involved in any activism? A story like that will really help you to spread the truth
I'm so sorry you experienced so much horror so young but I applaud your ability to see right and wrong and make a change. It's hard to go against the tide but you are a great example that change is possible! I've been Vegan for almost 15 years and it is easier and more accepted now than it's ever been (I was vegetarian before that and back in the 80s THAT got me a ton of flack!) So stay strong and keep telling your story you never know who it will resonate with 🌱💚.
@@averageblokenbikes5013 I'm glad to hear it! I don't think enough vegans are active, it's so important that those who know the truth speak out, thats why I ask vegans online and in person if they're active. Any ideas on how to get more people active?
I've been playing these videos in the background as I do my makeup in the morning. With no intention other than to just educate myself. However, this morning my roommate came up to me and told me that he had been listening as I was doing my make up for the past two months or so. He's asked for help to try to be vegan for 30 days and see how it makes him feel. Best way to start my day.
@Kieran Jones Says the guy that looked up vegan videos to just argue with people in the chat. You'll eventually change. B12 is the only vital(keyword here) nutrient a vegan diet can't give you. Well actually I'm drinking it in my coffee right now. I record my diet a lot. Noting is missing. I'm far healthier now then I was while eating meat. I was lacking so much because I only really cared about protein and carbs. Cronometer shows me all the micro-nutrients I'm getting in my food. I might have cut back on some hahaha. I think most people wont go vegan because they love fast food too much hahaha. What a crazy addiction. More important than an animals life. Sad really.
Kieran Jones vitamin A is so easy to get as a vegan, if you aren’t getting vitamin a on any diet that’s an issue. there’s spinach, kale, peppers, sweet potatoes, mangoes, basically anything dark green or orange. d can be absorbed through the sun, and is so commonly deficient among even meat eaters that both dairy and vegan mills are fortified with it. if you’re deficient in d just take a supplement period. you can easily get vitamin k from greens and other sources so i’m not sure what you mean? there’s new research finding that there may actually be plant sources of b12 such as water lentils, and there’s also nutritional yeast and fortified soy and pea milk. plus b12 supplements are cheap. creatine isn’t even a “nutrient” you need to consume... your body produces it but you can supplement vegan or nonvegan creatine if that’s what you want?
Yes spread an agenda that makes people feel guilty for eating their natural diet, leading them to malnourish themselves in order to meet an unrealistic standard. Earthling Ed is causing huge amounts of human suffering, and has somehow managed to be worshiped for it at the same time.
@@arnold-hu4vk What do you mean I follow him? I learnt a few things from him, after hearing his beliefs, questioning them myself and then finding out they were true. Others I found to be false - like the flat earth belief and that salt is unhealthy. Not that he's certainly wrong, I just haven't been able to prove him wrong from the evidence I've seen yet.
@@arnold-hu4vk personally i don't follow sv3rige, he's as obnoxious and dogmatic as many online vegans are, didn't he used to be one, don't think he's changed much. It's clear to see both sides of the argument have become pretty toxic, and people need to grow up, especially If they truly want to make the world a better place, rather than just get off on feeling morally superior.
Miguel Bento hi miguel, what nutrients is he missing due to his diet that would cause him to be pale and weak? how can you even visually tell that he is weak? and even if he was, of all the reason he could be pale and ‘weak’ how can you link that to his diet when medical health professionals need a blood test to determine that.
@@grandesmocas4469 i have been as pale as a baby's ass my entire life and i used to literally eat animal products constantly and at every meal. went vegan a few months ago and i am still pale as a baby's ass. the point i am trying to make here is that being pale as a baby's ass isn't usually about diet, but actually about your genetics or just how often your skin is exposed to the sun
A whole year as a vegan! I can't even believe it! I used to eat animals twice a day and you helped me make that daunting yet necessary connection. Friends, not food. Thank you thank you thank you!
HandyAndy make sure to get your omega 3s and your iodine too! Udo’s oil is a great vegan Omega 3 source, flax seeds too, and vegan iodine supplements or dried seaweed should be available in most health stores. Make sure to know how much you should be getting though, and don’t overdose. Also don’t take iodine if you’ve had previous thyroid problems without first consulting a doctor. These nutrients are often overlooked, so just be careful!

All the hours you’ve dedicated to this topic has allotted you a following. Your following has grown large enough that one of your videos was recently recommended to me despite my lack of shown interest. In that video, I heard you ask, "Do you value your tastebuds more than an animals life?" I’m now on day 5 without meat. Hearing someone else articulate that truly resonated in a way that would’ve been impossible if pondered on my own. Thank you!
Keep up the great work, I've been vegan for two years now and it was the best thing I've ever done for my health both physically and mentally, I'll never turn back. If you're interested, this is the speech that motivated me to go vegan: ua-cam.com/video/_K36Zu0pA4U/v-deo.html And here's a UA-cam Channel that has loads of delicious, easy vegan meal ideas in case you need any: ua-cam.com/users/happypeargreystones Good luck! 💚
the good news is you CAN value your taste buds too !! my friend recently went vegan and she mashes chick peas ( rinse them first!) and fries them with brocolli, garllic, onion,small sweetcorn, carots, cabbage, green beans, asparagus, spinach, hot chille pepper, and enough olive oil and sea salt to make you happy !!! ALL the meat eaters love it so much they cant get enough of it !!! try it or get a good cook to try try making it... its comfort food beyond words...
@@Happybigdog as much as I'd love everyone to eat more whole plant based foods, you might have more luck pointing out that they can go to their local super market and buy something like a beyond beef burger that tastes exactly the same. Most people just want cheap, easy food that tastes the same and many people don't cook
@@jimlang8281 How would you know? Even if he did make good money, and I doubt he makes that much, vegans don't have to take some vow of poverty to be able to spread the message.
Ed, your videos have not only turned me vegan but they have also helped my friends and family understand why I’m vegan. Never stop. You’re truly making a difference.
@@TyrellFrye I just subscribed to your Channel :) You totally are an activist! Making UA-cam videos that are vegan related is a form of speaking out for the animals and the planet. If you want to do more of an outreach kind of activism then I'd definitely recommend watching these videos Ed made if you haven't already, it's a playlist of all the most common excuses and how to debunk them: ua-cam.com/video/7mjVwVDDI8E/v-deo.html It would be great video content as well if you filmed yourself at an anonymous for the voiceless event talking to members of the public or even just debating it with someone. Remember it's just as much about how you talk to them as it is about facts and statistics. Some people don't even care about the facts where as others only care about them.
@Conan he kinda does, but at the same time most of the arguments people bring up are pretty much the same too, so can you really blame him for just using what works best?
@Conan it's not really a con though, he makes good points but often times people haven't heard those points so videos about it can get repetitive. Doesn't mean he's wrong or that it's a con though Edit: imagine a channel like this dedicated to talking to flat earthers or antivaxxers. Eventually the UA-camr would develop a kind of script as the same flawed arguments get repeated over and over by the people being interviewed
@Conan michaelbluejay.com/electricity/carboncalculator.html that site cites it's sources if you're curious, but it shows that going vegan has more of an impact than stopping flying Edit: and how many people do you know that only eat hunted or local animals? That makes up a very small percentage of the meat eaten nowadays, so if you switched to only eating hunted animals that would be way better than nothing
Conan it’s hard to tell, right? Obviously he benefits from this position, this is most vegan activists’ dream. He is paid to travel around, spreading the gospel and he also gets money through his youtube views. Yet not everyone gets the opportunity, i think a lot of why ed gained popularity was because he was male in a sea of female activists, so he would appeal to young women but also people tend to prefer listening to male speakers and see them as more authoritative than whiny. That being said, I think it’s positive because this speech is compelling and he’s certainly grown as a public speaker who tailors his speech to his audience. I think he over/mis-used some words here like ‘intrinsically’ but he’s appealing to intellectuals and reason. So i say good for him and if you read most the comments, they’re about how he changed their life. Imagine what sort of influential people he could inspire at Harvard.
@@traymitt do you think people who argue against flat Earth or antivax follow a script, or do the same bad arguments which keep coming up mean you have to use the same responses over and over? Does being repetitive have anything to do with the truth of a claim?
I've been thinking about turning vegan for a long time. I have always considered this possibility, but I have never studied deeply about it or had any initiative in it. About a week ago I discovered your channel coincidentally and then the whole world changed for me. I became vegan as fast as an arrow, my heart just can't let me explore the animals anymore. I was able to know more about the veganism, about reality and everything I had questions about, and although I am still in the process of abolishing everything of animal origin from my house, I feel infinitely freer and happier now. It's like now i'm in harmony with nature and in complete peace. I'm totally sure that all the animals you have saved have you in their hearts, and even those you have failed to save, those are shining for you, the shining stars in the sky. Because your heart is like this, like the warm and loving infinite, with no space for cruelty. Continue with your wonderful work in search of a better world. Thank you for everything, Ed. (And continue making subtitles for your videos, because i'm a portuguese native speaker.) 🌱❤️
Congrats! Please don't hesitate to ask well informed vegans any questions you may have pertaining to vegan living, even if you think they may be silly questions. VEGAN here for 27 years and I'm feeling stronger and more mentally alert with every passing year. Besides Dominion, check out a multi award winning documentary called "The Witness" which focuses on the powerful story of Eddie Lama. Also, I hope you're as excited as I am for the upcoming release of the film "The Game Changers"
Don't go Vegan. Bunch of liars. Ok I love animals but I was born an omnivore and it isn't wrong to eat meat. It is wrong to treat them badly and we do need to stop cutting down forest for grazing. But Veganism isn't the solution. Dont be fooled by Ed etc they are charlatans.
@@MauriceTarantulas It is wrong to kill when you do not need it and you don't have to. Going vegan is the best we can do to avoid climate change and try to not destroy the world, and I am not the only one who says it, many other and important organizations have spoken about it too. If you are going to reply this comment, pls do it with respect and with facts, not the beliefs and prejudices you have about the whole veganism thing. I am sorry for my english, I am just learning and I am not using the google translator
Mowgli but I didn’t mention anything about how it made me feel I just stated I believe my decision was a good one. If I’m honest I didn’t feel great straight away I was extremely bloated for a while.
Demoting animals with language is such a powerful thing. Calling pigs pork or cows beef, chicken poultry. It really does change one's mindset. I always choose my words carefully when I'm speaking with someone on the subject, in an attempt to promote animals as living, feeling individuals.
So eloquent spoken. I'm sure you left a big impact. You helped me going vegan almost 2 years ago. Thank you for that; one of the best decisions everybody could make.
Your videos made me go vegan after being vegetarian for 10 months and I have been vegan for 2 months . I’m so glad ! Thank you for inspiring the world 🌍
@Nerdzik Ektomorfik The animal rights movement is also about human rights. Historically, disenfranchised and undocumented people are pressured to except jobs at slaughterhouses which very often results in them developing PTSD from the horror of killing countless innocent beings everyday. Also there have been many instances of worker's rights violations such as lack of safety equipment, sexual harassment, threats of termination if you take a restroom break and the list goes on. I'm sorry if you've had bad interactions with vegan activists in the past, but I hope you can find it in your heart to move past those isolated incidents and move forward in a more positive fashion. I wish you the best.
@Nerdzik Ektomorfik I would just like to comment on the malnourished children: somewhere I have the feeling that the scenario you are portraying is not realistic. But even so, as a vegan you can drink milk. Mothers milk. From a human. You just don't drink it from other animals. And we don't need to. We need milk when we are babies, but luckily our own mothers produce everything we need. I by the way never heard of any vegan who didn't want to breastfeed her baby because she thought this was unethical. So I guess what you said is not a reflection of reality, but just a misunderstanding about what vegans actually do. PS. The world health organization stated that veganism is healthy for every stage of life, so also for babies.
Nerdzik Ektomorfik What about the chance of heart disease being cut in half by going vegan? What about us statistically living longer than meat eaters? It’s not unsafe or unhealthy. We do it for our own health too
@Nerdzik Ektomorfik You know that not all animals eat meat. They are called herbivores and have distinctly different physiology and anatomy of natural meat eater. I'm sure you don't care about facts but, human anatomy and physiology is of a herbivore not carnivore. This comment isn't really for you because anyone that tries to claim a baby drinking his mom's breast milk is not vegan clearly isn't looking for truth/knowledge. It is for others who are on the fence but are being held back by blatant disinformation, such as claims that humans are designed to eat meat.
Love your videos Ed, been vegan for 1,5 years and counting! As a non naitve English speaker I always learn some unusual helpfull words in your content which is very appreciated! :)
@@jagodarogalska1030 Because you're destroying billions of lives, your own health, and this pretty obscure thing you might have heard of which we call 'Earth'.

@@youtuber-lr8ck I'll admit it's interesting to watch him debate the public but I don't agree with his opinions and beliefs. It's very ideological and he needs to get to grips with the fact that not everybody thinks the same way. He can preach until he's blue in the face but it won't stop people from eating meat. He has no right to tell other people how to live.
wandering soul he doesn’t tell people how to live and eds goal isn’t to make people vegan but to question if they should or shouldn’t be vegan he just wants to give people the idea of veganism he doesn’t tell people how to live but he tells them about if how they live is how they actually want to live he educates people on veganism and how it affects their health the environment and animals he doesn’t tell people how to live but he let’s people know about their life style and that there’s another option
I’ve been vegan for only 2 months now it’s something I’ve been trying to do for over a year but I recently watched earthlings and that hit me to commit 100%. I still love with my mom, my sister, her husband , and they’re 2 year old child. I was a little anxious to tell them at first because I thought they’d make fun of me, however, I got the complete opposite reaction with in a couple weeks of me being vegan they all followed suit! My brother in law still eats meat occasionally but he drastically cut down and eats our vegan food majority of the time. Even my little 2 year old nephew. And I never once told them to go vegan, they just saw my actions, thought for themselves, and made their own choice and I couldn’t be happier for them! However the rest of my family that doesn’t live with us is a different story lol
Kyle Peterson You have such an understanding family:) good for you for having the courage to share your story. It’s wonderful that you inspired others:)
@Nerdzik Ektomorfik Imma just take that as displaced anger because deep down you honestly hate yourself for contributing to the pain and suffering of animals on a daily basis
@Nerdzik Ektomorfik you keep bringing up that ONE documentary yet you are ignoring thousands of peer reviewed studies that prove people going vegan would aid in reversing climate change. Even the United Nations stated that people going vegan would drastically help in reversing global climate change. How can eating meat possibly be better for the environment when it requires 18 times more land to feed someone on a meat based diet as opposed to someone on a plant based diet. Animal agriculture requires more land, more water, and actually requires the production of more grains to feed the animals, and not to mention the amount of waste the animals produce that ends up in the ocean destroying sea life as well.
Over 150 million LAND animals alone are killed each day for animal agriculture so please explain to me how vegans cause more pain and suffering to animals than that?
I’ll be vegan for 2 years in August. Your videos have helped me so much the way you speak about it is truly eye opening. Thank you for doing what you do❤️
Lilith Storm not yet but I do post on my Instagram about it, I am looking for things nearby though. I really wanna go out and do something for the cause.
@@Jades-Journey That's great, is there an annonymous for the voiceless near you? That's my favourite way to spread the message and practice having conversations with people about it. It's also such an incredible feeling knowing you've truly made a difference and takes away from some of the frustration that comes with not being able to turn friends and family vegan. There are so many different forms of activism though, Sometimes I do sticker activism as well which is super easy. Check out this video of Ed's on how to get active if you havent already seen it: ua-cam.com/video/oW682wH7078/v-deo.html
Lilith Storm I don’t think there’s an anonymous for the voiceless near me, but I’m definitely gonna find one that I can go to.

Conan okay so why are you here?, I love to see non-vegans trying to understand veganism and it’s benefits. But if your just here to argue and act as if we are less than you why even click on the video. I recommend listening to Ed’s points and having a mature debate on why you eat animal products , vegan or not it’s always helpful to understand someone’s point of view.
Another brilliant talk, Ed. Thank you so much for your undying commitment to truth, compassion, and good common sense. You truly are a champion for our fellow animals.
I was quite surprised and very happy to see references to both Earthling Ed and the documentary Dominion written in chalk on a major street in my city, San Francisco. Kudos to our local vegans for attempting to educate passers-by on the horrors of animal agriculture and the need for reform.
I have been vegetarian since 2009 and vegan since 2014. Since this time I have watched countless speeches, talks and documentaries in regards to veganism and thought I have heard it form every angle. But since coming across you and your approach to veganism I have become educated in a whole other light. You don't go for shock, you don't go to attack, you don't speak on a surface level. You speak so eloquently and are so well educated and have such depth to your explanations. You are able to speak in a way that reaches something deep inside the individual, getting them to really question themselves which is hard to do, which really leaves a lasting impact. Everytime I hear one of your speeches it solidifies my decision of being vegan even more and encourages the confidence in me to continue to speak up. You are truly inspiring. Thank you!
@@samantharead4346 have you considered getting involved in activism? It's so important that everyone who knows the truth speaks out for the beings we suppress so badly. Using methods like Ed does you can get so many people thinking. It's also very urgent that we all show people the truth now because our planet is soon to be completely destroyed by these industries. Is there anything holding you back from getting involved?
Southy Ed among other activists spread a message which reaches hundred thousands of people who later on do what themself can to make an impact too. And it’s not a show for money or fame, since they have to put in more money in these projects than what they usually gain and I imagine it being more work than you’re imagining. Ed aswell as other activists such as Joey Carbstrong visits abattoir often and protest. It’s crystal clear that their work is genuine. Why are you being petty? and what are you yourself? What change have you made?
Southy Damn you’re salty. also lame that you like your own comment. I never stated that they don’t prioritize they’re own well being before anything else. And I don’t see it as an problem that they make money from what they’re doing either since it’s good work filling an important purpose. But it’s clear that you wont get rich from doing what they’re doing, and it isnt a walk in the park either. Both mentioned activists have the capacity to succeed in other stress free fields and make 10x more money than currently. Can you prove that their work isnt authentic? If not then you should stop shittalking. you’re projecting your own despisefull attitude and your own lack of purpose.
Southy great red herring, switching the topic and ignoring the arguments that mattered, aswell as not being able to answer my basic question about what evidence there is (since you have none) You sir, just made a fool out of yourself.
I've been a vegan myself for over two years now and I have to say Ed you continue to inspire me, open my eyes, and help me know how to advocate effectively for something I'm so passionate about. Thank you for being so wonderful.
I felt the exact same as you did! Angry at humans for not changing their actions when it took someone’s life from them , you made me aware of why that is and I want to thank you for that. Your so inspirational and you are truly making a difference ❤️
Refreshing to hear that you weren't always the best at speaking to people on this topic. I been plant based now for 2 and a half years and still have to improve on it, myself.
Wow. That was so poignant and well constructed. I'm amazed you were able to design such a persuasive essay on the spot. You really do inspire me. I am angry myself, but I want to be more like you. Maybe I should start my own channel and follow in your footsteps.
Have you considered getting involved in some activism? Anonymous for the voiceless is such a great way to spread the truth and practice conversing with people on the subject
@@lilithstorm7026 I'd definitely be more than happy to do what Ed does. Converse with folks on the street. I don't have the funds to travel though. It would just be in my small town. I did join a local vegan community today though!
@@christopherkinnaird2881 Thats great that you've joined a vegan community :) Is there an annonymous for the voiceless there? if not you could see if the vegan community would be interested in starting one and try to help them understand why it's so important that not only do we not partake in the violence but we should also do something about it. You could also take footage to spread the message outside of where you live if you'd like. It's so important that we speak the truth on behalf of the animals who are suffering so badly and the planet that's being very quickly destroyed.

It has been a year and 4 months since I made the decision to go vegan. Ed was a huge inspiration to get me to make that final decision. I am so thankful to have this perspective I hadn't seen beforehand. Thank you so much.
This is an awesome video. I need to send this to my father. It would be nice if my dad could just have ed chat him up in the street. I look forward to hearing whether you will do any talks in Vancouver.
You remain one of my absolute favorite speakers and animal rights activists. I hope our paths cross one day, even if its 30 minutes over tea. God bless.
Fantastic lecture! For me, this is the best non-health related video about veganism to share. It's the best video generally but people also need to understand the health aspect. "Potentially our health" is a bit of a disservice to the scientific consensus on the topic. I adopted veganism initially for health reasons. I was always uncomfortable about buying meat (unaware at the time of the cruelty of the diary industry) but I did not want to confront the truth, yet it was the health experiment that showed me it was feasible, actually quite easy and allowed me finally to confront the truth. Now that I know about the three pillars of veganism I pray I will never go back.
@@clenogallagher1469 you dont understnad how much vegans hear this hehe, its a good point though. basically, veganism is about minimising animals deaths and wildlife destruction. the best way to do this is only eat plants (i did think a bit though taht maybe just eating grass fed cows might kill less, but this is not the case i found upon research). its is about doing out best, but perfection is impossible. by just existing we are killing other beings, but that doesnt justify not putting any effort in.
All your way to do is very empathic torwards everybody...included adopting Socratic method! Always with you to the side of ceatures! Thank you dear Ed! Bye from Italy!
Hey Ed, was this a psychology class? You bring up a lot of psychology terms in your speech Also you're amazing and you are making a huge impact on the world! I'm trying to start my own vegan youtube channel because you inspired me!
Subscribe to ReelTaylor GO vegan. As a athlete once I went vegan it changed my life and recovery for the better, beautiful, hair and skin too. Saving Gods animal friends one bite at a time eating only plant foods. I found vegan friends and vegan groups.
Thank you Ed for existing! Your life is inspiring!!! I never feel like I'm doing enough, being vegan is such a small amount of what I can do to help everyone else who exists on this planet. I want to do more!
What an eloquent sensitive and compassionate young man your are Ed. You are changing the world for the best ! It is so liberating to be Vegan, to live a non-violent life. 💕
People need to listen to this man. My first job was in a dairy farm. I stayed there for 6 years then worked in a slaughterhouse but not on the kill floor. I’ve taken many calves from their mothers and I always felt bad about it. They never get over it and they do cry for a long time. The calves get treated the worst but it’s no better for the mothers either. I started there when I was 13 and saw things done to cows worse than shown in Dominion. I felt it was wrong but told myself it was normal. I was raised to believe that. Keep my mouth shut and do my job. I got out of the industry the day I saw a cow bolt out of the slaughterhouse. They had sliced his stomach open while still alive. Staff that came out were all laughing and making bets how far he would get before dropping. They thought it was funny. Take it from me, it’s hell for cows and most people I worked with loved it and laughed while torturing them. I’ve been vegan 4 months now and the industries need to shut down. There was always something that stuck with me about the cows. They have a sense of humour and personality. some would play with me and I swear when I fell over once they thought it was funny. I never forgot that day because I knew then they’re just like us. I regret ever being part of their suffering. If I can change, everyone can. It’s really hell for the animals and nothing funny about it.
That's an incredible story, congrats on making the decision to go vegan. Have you thought about getting involved in any activism? A story like that will really help you to spread the truth
I'm so sorry you experienced so much horror so young but I applaud your ability to see right and wrong and make a change. It's hard to go against the tide but you are a great example that change is possible! I've been Vegan for almost 15 years and it is easier and more accepted now than it's ever been (I was vegetarian before that and back in the 80s THAT got me a ton of flack!) So stay strong and keep telling your story you never know who it will resonate with 🌱💚.
@stop eating animals are you an activist?
Yes I’m an activist
@@averageblokenbikes5013 I'm glad to hear it! I don't think enough vegans are active, it's so important that those who know the truth speak out, thats why I ask vegans online and in person if they're active. Any ideas on how to get more people active?
I've been playing these videos in the background as I do my makeup in the morning. With no intention other than to just educate myself. However, this morning my roommate came up to me and told me that he had been listening as I was doing my make up for the past two months or so. He's asked for help to try to be vegan for 30 days and see how it makes him feel.
Best way to start my day.
That's amazing! Have you thought about getting involved in any activism and spreading the truth?
@Kieran Jones Says the guy that looked up vegan videos to just argue with people in the chat. You'll eventually change. B12 is the only vital(keyword here) nutrient a vegan diet can't give you. Well actually I'm drinking it in my coffee right now. I record my diet a lot. Noting is missing. I'm far healthier now then I was while eating meat. I was lacking so much because I only really cared about protein and carbs. Cronometer shows me all the micro-nutrients I'm getting in my food. I might have cut back on some hahaha. I think most people wont go vegan because they love fast food too much hahaha. What a crazy addiction. More important than an animals life. Sad really.
Kieran Jones vitamin A is so easy to get as a vegan, if you aren’t getting vitamin a on any diet that’s an issue. there’s spinach, kale, peppers, sweet potatoes, mangoes, basically anything dark green or orange. d can be absorbed through the sun, and is so commonly deficient among even meat eaters that both dairy and vegan mills are fortified with it. if you’re deficient in d just take a supplement period. you can easily get vitamin k from greens and other sources so i’m not sure what you mean? there’s new research finding that there may actually be plant sources of b12 such as water lentils, and there’s also nutritional yeast and fortified soy and pea milk. plus b12 supplements are cheap. creatine isn’t even a “nutrient” you need to consume... your body produces it but you can supplement vegan or nonvegan creatine if that’s what you want?
@Kieran Jones Which ones are those then?
What vegan is deficient in vit A lmao

Miguel Bento hi miguel, what nutrients is he missing due to his diet that would cause him to be pale and weak? how can you even visually tell that he is weak? and even if he was, of all the reason he could be pale and ‘weak’ how can you link that to his diet when medical health professionals need a blood test to determine that.
@@grandesmocas4469 i have been as pale as a baby's ass my entire life and i used to literally eat animal products constantly and at every meal. went vegan a few months ago and i am still pale as a baby's ass. the point i am trying to make here is that being pale as a baby's ass isn't usually about diet, but actually about your genetics or just how often your skin is exposed to the sun

No they are food.
All the hours you’ve dedicated to this topic has allotted you a following. Your following has grown large enough that one of your videos was recently recommended to me despite my lack of shown interest. In that video, I heard you ask, "Do you value your tastebuds more than an animals life?" I’m now on day 5 without meat. Hearing someone else articulate that truly resonated in a way that would’ve been impossible if pondered on my own. Thank you!
Keep up the great work, I've been vegan for two years now and it was the best thing I've ever done for my health both physically and mentally, I'll never turn back. If you're interested, this is the speech that motivated me to go vegan: ua-cam.com/video/_K36Zu0pA4U/v-deo.html
And here's a UA-cam Channel that has loads of delicious, easy vegan meal ideas in case you need any: ua-cam.com/users/happypeargreystones
Good luck! 💚
the good news is you CAN value your taste buds too !! my friend recently went vegan and she mashes chick peas ( rinse them first!) and fries them with brocolli, garllic, onion,small sweetcorn, carots, cabbage, green beans, asparagus, spinach, hot chille pepper, and enough olive oil and sea salt to make you happy !!! ALL the meat eaters love it so much they cant get enough of it !!! try it or get a good cook to try try making it... its comfort food beyond words...
@@Happybigdog as much as I'd love everyone to eat more whole plant based foods, you might have more luck pointing out that they can go to their local super market and buy something like a beyond beef burger that tastes exactly the same.

Congrats! Are you involved in any activism? :)
Lilith Storm not yet! I want to get more knowledgeable first 😄
@@TyrellFrye I just subscribed to your Channel :) You totally are an activist! Making UA-cam videos that are vegan related is a form of speaking out for the animals and the planet. If you want to do more of an outreach kind of activism then I'd definitely recommend watching these videos Ed made if you haven't already, it's a playlist of all the most common excuses and how to debunk them: ua-cam.com/video/7mjVwVDDI8E/v-deo.html
It would be great video content as well if you filmed yourself at an anonymous for the voiceless event talking to members of the public or even just debating it with someone. Remember it's just as much about how you talk to them as it is about facts and statistics. Some people don't even care about the facts where as others only care about them.
Your ability to retain, and then coherently and saliently convey information is remarkable.
@Conan he kinda does, but at the same time most of the arguments people bring up are pretty much the same too, so can you really blame him for just using what works best?
@Conan it's not really a con though, he makes good points but often times people haven't heard those points so videos about it can get repetitive. Doesn't mean he's wrong or that it's a con though
Edit: imagine a channel like this dedicated to talking to flat earthers or antivaxxers. Eventually the UA-camr would develop a kind of script as the same flawed arguments get repeated over and over by the people being interviewed
@Conan michaelbluejay.com/electricity/carboncalculator.html that site cites it's sources if you're curious, but it shows that going vegan has more of an impact than stopping flying
Edit: and how many people do you know that only eat hunted or local animals? That makes up a very small percentage of the meat eaten nowadays, so if you switched to only eating hunted animals that would be way better than nothing
Conan it’s hard to tell, right? Obviously he benefits from this position, this is most vegan activists’ dream. He is paid to travel around, spreading the gospel and he also gets money through his youtube views. Yet not everyone gets the opportunity, i think a lot of why ed gained popularity was because he was male in a sea of female activists, so he would appeal to young women but also people tend to prefer listening to male speakers and see them as more authoritative than whiny.
That being said, I think it’s positive because this speech is compelling and he’s certainly grown as a public speaker who tailors his speech to his audience. I think he over/mis-used some words here like ‘intrinsically’ but he’s appealing to intellectuals and reason. So i say good for him and if you read most the comments, they’re about how he changed their life. Imagine what sort of influential people he could inspire at Harvard.
@@traymitt do you think people who argue against flat Earth or antivax follow a script, or do the same bad arguments which keep coming up mean you have to use the same responses over and over? Does being repetitive have anything to do with the truth of a claim?
I've been thinking about turning vegan for a long time. I have always considered this possibility, but I have never studied deeply about it or had any initiative in it. About a week ago I discovered your channel coincidentally and then the whole world changed for me. I became vegan as fast as an arrow, my heart just can't let me explore the animals anymore. I was able to know more about the veganism, about reality and everything I had questions about, and although I am still in the process of abolishing everything of animal origin from my house, I feel infinitely freer and happier now.
It's like now i'm in harmony with nature and in complete peace. I'm totally sure that all the animals you have saved have you in their hearts, and even those you have failed to save, those are shining for you, the shining stars in the sky. Because your heart is like this, like the warm and loving infinite, with no space for cruelty. Continue with your wonderful work in search of a better world. Thank you for everything, Ed.
(And continue making subtitles for your videos, because i'm a portuguese native speaker.) 🌱❤️
Thanks for sharing.
Congrats!

Demoting animals with language is such a powerful thing. Calling pigs pork or cows beef, chicken poultry. It really does change one's mindset. I always choose my words carefully when I'm speaking with someone on the subject, in an attempt to promote animals as living, feeling individuals.

@Nerdzik Ektomorfik The animal rights movement is also about human rights. Historically, disenfranchised and undocumented people are pressured to except jobs at slaughterhouses which very often results in them developing PTSD from the horror of killing countless innocent beings everyday. Also there have been many instances of worker's rights violations such as lack of safety equipment, sexual harassment, threats of termination if you take a restroom break and the list goes on. I'm sorry if you've had bad interactions with vegan activists in the past, but I hope you can find it in your heart to move past those isolated incidents and move forward in a more positive fashion. I wish you the best.
@Nerdzik Ektomorfik I would just like to comment on the malnourished children: somewhere I have the feeling that the scenario you are portraying is not realistic. But even so, as a vegan you can drink milk. Mothers milk. From a human. You just don't drink it from other animals. And we don't need to. We need milk when we are babies, but luckily our own mothers produce everything we need.
I by the way never heard of any vegan who didn't want to breastfeed her baby because she thought this was unethical. So I guess what you said is not a reflection of reality, but just a misunderstanding about what vegans actually do.
PS. The world health organization stated that veganism is healthy for every stage of life, so also for babies.
Nerdzik Ektomorfik What about the chance of heart disease being cut in half by going vegan? What about us statistically living longer than meat eaters? It’s not unsafe or unhealthy. We do it for our own health too
@@steakandchips9046 Great vegan logic, lets stop all emergency services and military jobs in case they get ptsd too.
@Nerdzik Ektomorfik You know that not all animals eat meat. They are called herbivores and have distinctly different physiology and anatomy of natural meat eater. I'm sure you don't care about facts but, human anatomy and physiology is of a herbivore not carnivore.
This comment isn't really for you because anyone that tries to claim a baby drinking his mom's breast milk is not vegan clearly isn't looking for truth/knowledge. It is for others who are on the fence but are being held back by blatant disinformation, such as claims that humans are designed to eat meat.

wandering soul he doesn’t tell people how to live and eds goal isn’t to make people vegan but to question if they should or shouldn’t be vegan he just wants to give people the idea of veganism he doesn’t tell people how to live but he tells them about if how they live is how they actually want to live he educates people on veganism and how it affects their health the environment and animals he doesn’t tell people how to live but he let’s people know about their life style and that there’s another option
Actually an incredible speaker
I’ve been vegan for only 2 months now it’s something I’ve been trying to do for over a year but I recently watched earthlings and that hit me to commit 100%. I still love with my mom, my sister, her husband , and they’re 2 year old child. I was a little anxious to tell them at first because I thought they’d make fun of me, however, I got the complete opposite reaction with in a couple weeks of me being vegan they all followed suit! My brother in law still eats meat occasionally but he drastically cut down and eats our vegan food majority of the time. Even my little 2 year old nephew. And I never once told them to go vegan, they just saw my actions, thought for themselves, and made their own choice and I couldn’t be happier for them! However the rest of my family that doesn’t live with us is a different story lol

@Nerdzik Ektomorfik Imma just take that as displaced anger because deep down you honestly hate yourself for contributing to the pain and suffering of animals on a daily basis
@Nerdzik Ektomorfik you keep bringing up that ONE documentary yet you are ignoring thousands of peer reviewed studies that prove people going vegan would aid in reversing climate change. Even the United Nations stated that people going vegan would drastically help in reversing global climate change. How can eating meat possibly be better for the environment when it requires 18 times more land to feed someone on a meat based diet as opposed to someone on a plant based diet. Animal agriculture requires more land, more water, and actually requires the production of more grains to feed the animals, and not to mention the amount of waste the animals produce that ends up in the ocean destroying sea life as well.
Over 150 million LAND animals alone are killed each day for animal agriculture so please explain to me how vegans cause more pain and suffering to animals than that?

Ed .. I've been watching your lectures for a long time and I'm still so very impressed. Thank you for your kindness and devotion.
Has he been kind to you?
Brilliant as always Ed. Never stop speaking up for those whose voices have been silenced by our society. ✌🏽
Vegan for life... all lives.
Your tears are delicious ^^^

You held out an excellent speech, Ed! This could motivate everyone to make the change! The world couldn't be possible without you!

Thank God we have ED!!
If ED had not made an appearance on youtube my life would of been over. ED has become a voice or reason, a beacon of light! and my voice when others try to offend me.
*Create a Better World by......GOING and staying VEGAN*
No.
@@MauriceTarantulas your great argument and ability to debate just convinced me to give up my ethics and not be vegan anymore. Thanks for enlightening us with your wisdom.

Conan okay so why are you here?, I love to see non-vegans trying to understand veganism and it’s benefits. But if your just here to argue and act as if we are less than you why even click on the video. I recommend listening to Ed’s points and having a mature debate on why you eat animal products , vegan or not it’s always helpful to understand someone’s point of view.
He blows my mind every time. Ed is amazing! 👏🏻
Yes, Ed is a brilliant brainwasher.
Another brilliant talk, Ed. Thank you so much for your undying commitment to truth, compassion, and good common sense. You truly are a champion for our fellow animals.
I love you Ed, you give me hope when it feels like the world is going down ❤️❤️ Thank you for your hard work, don't ever stop
Once again such a great speech. Thank You, Ed!
Absolutely agree with you Ed. Thank you for your approach!
Thank you Ed for speaking up for the voiceless❤
I was quite surprised and very happy to see references to both Earthling Ed and the documentary Dominion written in chalk on a major street in my city, San Francisco. Kudos to our local vegans for attempting to educate passers-by on the horrors of animal agriculture and the need for reform.
I have been vegetarian since 2009 and vegan since 2014. Since this time I have watched countless speeches, talks and documentaries in regards to veganism and thought I have heard it form every angle. But since coming across you and your approach to veganism I have become educated in a whole other light. You don't go for shock, you don't go to attack, you don't speak on a surface level. You speak so eloquently and are so well educated and have such depth to your explanations. You are able to speak in a way that reaches something deep inside the individual, getting them to really question themselves which is hard to do, which really leaves a lasting impact. Everytime I hear one of your speeches it solidifies my decision of being vegan even more and encourages the confidence in me to continue to speak up. You are truly inspiring. Thank you!
Are you an activist? :)
@@lilithstorm7026 hey I'm not but I appreciate the activists!
@@samantharead4346 have you considered getting involved in activism? It's so important that everyone who knows the truth speaks out for the beings we suppress so badly. Using methods like Ed does you can get so many people thinking. It's also very urgent that we all show people the truth now because our planet is soon to be completely destroyed by these industries. Is there anything holding you back from getting involved?
Wonderful speech, thank you for everything you are doing 🙏
Great talk Ed!
Southy What are you trying to imply?
Southy
Ed among other activists spread a message which reaches hundred thousands of people who later on do what themself can to make an impact too.
And it’s not a show for money or fame, since they have to put in more money in these projects than what they usually gain and I imagine it being more work than you’re imagining.
Ed aswell as other activists such as Joey Carbstrong visits abattoir often and protest.
It’s crystal clear that their work is genuine.
Why are you being petty?
and what are you yourself? What change have you made?
Southy Damn you’re salty. also lame that you like your own comment.
I never stated that they don’t prioritize they’re own well being before anything else. And I don’t see it as an problem that they make money from what they’re doing either since it’s good work filling an important purpose.
But it’s clear that you wont get rich from doing what they’re doing, and it isnt a walk in the park either.
Both mentioned activists have the capacity to succeed in other stress free fields and make 10x more money than currently.
Can you prove that their work isnt authentic? If not then you should stop shittalking.
you’re projecting your own despisefull attitude and your own lack of purpose.
Southy great red herring, switching the topic and ignoring the arguments that mattered, aswell as not being able to answer my basic question about what evidence there is (since you have none)
You sir, just made a fool out of yourself.
Southy Also you should try and improve your english, since its practically impossible to understand your failed grammar
I’ve been vegan for 11 years and watching Ed’s lectures make me want to go vegan.
Prehistoric Sounds I think it would be in your best interest to go vegan again! And don’t go back!
I think he probably meant he was vegetarian for 11 years@@Insight-music
I've been a vegan myself for over two years now and I have to say Ed you continue to inspire me, open my eyes, and help me know how to advocate effectively for something I'm so passionate about. Thank you for being so wonderful.
The more I learn from you Ed the more I can teach others thank you and God bless you
I felt the exact same as you did! Angry at humans for not changing their actions when it took someone’s life from them , you made me aware of why that is and I want to thank you for that. Your so inspirational and you are truly making a difference ❤️
You are amazing, seriously. You are so inspiring
Refreshing to hear that you weren't always the best at speaking to people on this topic. I been plant based now for 2 and a half years and still have to improve on it, myself.
What makes you say plant based and not vegan?
Brilliant! The world is lucky to have you. I love listening to you. Keep spreading the word...I wish everyone would listen!
Wow. That was so poignant and well constructed. I'm amazed you were able to design such a persuasive essay on the spot. You really do inspire me. I am angry myself, but I want to be more like you. Maybe I should start my own channel and follow in your footsteps.
Have you considered getting involved in some activism? Anonymous for the voiceless is such a great way to spread the truth and practice conversing with people on the subject
@@lilithstorm7026 I'd definitely be more than happy to do what Ed does. Converse with folks on the street. I don't have the funds to travel though. It would just be in my small town. I did join a local vegan community today though!
@@christopherkinnaird2881 Thats great that you've joined a vegan community :) Is there an annonymous for the voiceless there? if not you could see if the vegan community would be interested in starting one and try to help them understand why it's so important that not only do we not partake in the violence but we should also do something about it. You could also take footage to spread the message outside of where you live if you'd like. It's so important that we speak the truth on behalf of the animals who are suffering so badly and the planet that's being very quickly destroyed. Check out this video of Ed's on how to get active if you haven't already seen it :) ua-cam.com/video/oW682wH7078/v-deo.html
Absolutely brilliant. Thank you
Yesss always get so excited for your posts Ed💕
It has been a year and 4 months since I made the decision to go vegan. Ed was a huge inspiration to get me to make that final decision. I am so thankful to have this perspective I hadn't seen beforehand. Thank you so much.
This is an awesome video. I need to send this to my father. It would be nice if my dad could just have ed chat him up in the street. I look forward to hearing whether you will do any talks in Vancouver.
Amazing, Ed. I love your work. :-)
I've been vegetarian for 18 months and I'm trying to make the switch to vegan so I watch your videos to help encourage me
Thanks for all you do Ed. I admire you so much
I wish I was as eloquent, calm & patient as you. Thank you for all that you do, keep it up! 🧡
I love your story Ed, your amazing at everything you do. x
thank you for your work Ed
You remain one of my absolute favorite speakers and animal rights activists. I hope our paths cross one day, even if its 30 minutes over tea. God bless.
What an amazing speech!
I'm glad I can answer the question at the end with ease and clear concience since I'm already vegan.
Thank you so much
Fantastic lecture! For me, this is the best non-health related video about veganism to share. It's the best video generally but people also need to understand the health aspect. "Potentially our health" is a bit of a disservice to the scientific consensus on the topic. I adopted veganism initially for health reasons. I was always uncomfortable about buying meat (unaware at the time of the cruelty of the diary industry) but I did not want to confront the truth, yet it was the health experiment that showed me it was feasible, actually quite easy and allowed me finally to confront the truth. Now that I know about the three pillars of veganism I pray I will never go back.
Great work Ed ! #StillVeganAlwaysVegan
Some say Ed is the second coming of Christ. Last time he redeemed mankind. This time he will redeem all the animals.
Er ist kein Jesus. Nur ein Depp, der Ed
he even looks like jesus
@@alexanderbauernfeind6702 Spotted the meatard!😏
what about the animals killed by pesticides and harvesting machines?
@@clenogallagher1469 you dont understnad how much vegans hear this hehe, its a good point though.
basically, veganism is about minimising animals deaths and wildlife destruction. the best way to do this is only eat plants (i did think a bit though taht maybe just eating grass fed cows might kill less, but this is not the case i found upon research). its is about doing out best, but perfection is impossible. by just existing we are killing other beings, but that doesnt justify not putting any effort in.
Amen! 🙏🌱
Ed you are truly beyond words! 🙏🏼
All your way to do is very empathic torwards everybody...included adopting Socratic method! Always with you to the side of ceatures! Thank you dear Ed! Bye from Italy!
amazing speech. in love with your approach!
Hey Ed, was this a psychology class? You bring up a lot of psychology terms in your speech
Also you're amazing and you are making a huge impact on the world! I'm trying to start my own vegan youtube channel because you inspired me!
nickability yes please do.
@@todaysrealhealth8038 I already have a couple videos! Check me out!

So well spoken as always ed 💞
What an eloquent sensitive and compassionate young man your are Ed. You are changing the world for the best ! It is so liberating to be Vegan, to live a non-violent life. 💕
