I've stayed away from talking about my time at Beast. I've chosen not to ride the trend of coming out as an ex-employee with a tell-all video. And I haven't commented about it on any commentary videos about him. This is the one single video where I will share that I worked there. And I hated his cringe hypocritical dairy ads. I refused to work on them or anything else related to Beast Burger. There were only 2, maybe 3 other vegans in the whole company. Glad you're talking about this, Ed. His stance on animals has always to me been an early marker of how authentic the philanthropic image is.
@@JohnDoe-s3v2v I'll speak if I feel I have something meaningful to contribute. I won't speak if I feel I'm just getting attention or validation. I haven't really felt good energetically about talking publicly on my former employer, especially when I signed an NDA.

I live next to a small, “high welfare”, family owned (4th generation) farm in Cornwall and from personal experience I know there is nothing ethical, sustainable or high welfare about it. I’ve lost count of how many times I’ve cried over the “normal” everyday things that happen here, not least, when the calves are taken away and the weeks of bellowing that ensues. Mother cows will break through enclosures and gates in search of their stolen calves. It’s one of the most heart-wrenching things I’ve ever witnessed and heard. I highly doubt that many people who sign up to marketing campaigns for meat/dairy/egg products have ever stepped foot on a farm - let alone witnessed and listened to what animals go through on a farm in an average week.
i've been to my families pig farm and its far from nice, let alone ethical. Concrete floor, dark room, terrible smell, just not a nice place to be. Its a stark contract to what most people think of "family farms". If people saw this family farm im sure more would be vegan.
@@OliM9595 Absolutely. My partner is actually a farmers son - and he’s a vegan as a direct result of all that he has witnessed. His family are thought of as pillars of the community, but animal cruelty is part and parcel of all that they do in a year.

@@jonatanolsen37 I doubt you know what you are talking about. industries can be family owned, but here we are talking about small, family farms, the size of which cannot be considered sufficiently large as industrial ones. so, it is about the size of the farm itself, not about the methods used on the farm.
The statement "95% of dairy farms are family owned" is very craftily misleading. If one industrial conglomerate owns 20% of the dairy market they still only count as 1 farm technically because it's 1 entity. So 95% of dairy comes from factory farms but also 95% of dairy farms are "family owned". Also there are some rich families that own massive amounts of farmland further complicating the statement.

Also Mr Beast has a chocolate brand called Feastables that used to have plenty of vegan options. Later when he announced the new Feastables we noticed everything has dairy with no vegan options. We used to buy it but not anymore.
What I found interesting about Mr. Beast was that he rescued a bunch of dogs then talked about eating chicken to help him loose weight? But he isn’t an anomaly because people that are not vegan picks and choose with animals deserve their life and which deserves to got into their gut. Being vegan you just respect everyone’s anatomy.
what does this have to do with any of the mr beast controversy? i feel like him not being vegan is the least of anyone's concerns edit: yeah nevermind that's the main focus of the video
@@Pepperoni290 both. Don’t go messing with other anatomy or autonomy. They use animals in medical for experiments that do nothing for them or the human. So yeah they use them as their play things like really psychos your main doesn’t matter so I do as I please with you.
morals are subjective not objective which is why Kazakhs eat horses and Koreans eat dogs and Americans largely don't. It's same reason why veganism can't be justified on being a moral imperative because not everyone agrees with these morals.
Man, can you imagine the major impact on the world Mr. Beast could have if he promoted veganism? That would single-handedly set a new course for humanity and animals.
Meat-eating is tied to demon worship, so therefore demons/evil spirits will do anything and everything possible to stop people like Mr. Beast from becoming a Vegan.

Why it’s impractical to tell everyone to go vegan ❌. People in coastal areas , have saline soil… they can’t grow much veg food. For them what’s practical is fish 🐠 People in areas with heavy rainfall areas (tropical Vietnam), have damp soil… they can only grow rice, coconut, coffee. For them fish 🐠 & pigs 🐖 are more easy to breed & eat. People in desert areas (Arab), have water scarcity… they can’t grow any vegetables…for them sheep, 🐑 goats 🐐 meat is easy. People in snowfall areas (alps), for them meat from 🐐 , 🐑 , yak is easy But people living in areas with river water beds, plateaus can have lot of water resources & fertile land… they can grow almost everything. They should try eating plant based diet as much as possible. Even they can grow few livestock like cow, goats, chicken & feed them agricultural byproducts like hay, seed husk, etc. We can fulfil our daily nutrient requirements by just eating 100 grams of meat per day along with plant based food🍖 🥩. But we are eating a lot more meat than that❌. So I think people should minimise meat consumption & find a balance between plant based & animal based food to conserve resources & attain better health. 💚 For a person in costal area, fish is a lot cheaper than vegetables & fruits. People choose what’s local & budget friendly, not vegan friendly 🍃 Since it’s economically impractical for different geographical locations to import veg food from other regions, people will continue to eat local animal based products like dairy, fish & meat… A nation is not run by fantasies, a nation runs by economics 🇬🇧
I mean the guy killed a fish on camera for entertainment, I don't think he's an animal lover who just needs to be made aware, he simply doesn't take issue with animal suffering.

Not to mention he started a chocolate company, opening with almost all plant based chocolates, but has since scrapped all of those recipes and every chocolate bar he sells has milk.

You’re a hero 💚 i even brought your book called “How to argue with a meat eater and win every time” it’s helping a lot and will soon buy your other books right after I finish this one :) thank you Ed.
Thank you for pointing out all the hypocrisy and wrongdoing I hope it reaches a lot of these famous people’s fans and makes them realise that being a carnist is disgusting and that these influencers are horrible sellouts. 💪🏼💚☮️
MrBreast is a textbook narcissist he reminds me of people who do, Mission Trips, Trying to make himself look good and have his ego stroked while exploiting people
Thank you for revealing the horrible truth about these people. It's so wrong to exploit the trust of the public for monetary gain and promote the sponsors real agenda of marketing products from the cruelty to animals and their suffering.
Thank you for shedding light on this perspective for people to see. Mr. Beast truly has the opportunity to make a difference on this planet but turns a blind eye to exploit animals and resources for profit. You do an amazing job at these deep dive videos! There was a recent incident in Monterey where Vicente Joseph Arroyo murdered 80+ animals in a 3 hour period with dozens of random weapons. A video on psychology of these disgusting monsters who commit cruelty like this would be fascinating from your perspective. I understand and agree the largest amount of cruelty faced is in the food people eat as billions of animals are killed each year. Do you think maybe there’s correlation with that and how some people are not compassionate and commit animal cruelty to this degree? So many recent upsetting animal cruelty cases and it’s disgusting 😭💔
Giving up dairy really helped reduce inflammation in my body and resulted in better health. Giving up dairy especially helped my asthma and helped me lose 50 pounds.
Vegans talking reasonably and calming just don't go viral. What goes viral is disruptive activism and takes, that are taken out of context and represents vegans as crazy people. Tash, that vegan teacher, vegan gains, they go viral. Ed won't
Edward of Nazareth strikes again. 🌩😇🌩😇🌩😇 And thanks for mentioning fish. The book "What a Fish Knows", by the biologist Jonathan Balcombe, is incredible.
The name alone "Mr Beast" should tell people what kind of a person he is. He is someone who is selfish and wants to always please his flesh. Greed comes to mind as well. He seems like someone who is still acting like a child and needs to mature and realize the reality of his choices .Eating plant-based food only would be a win for the animals our environment and our own health❤
While it's good that people clean up "ghost-nets" of the fishing industry, it is a mighty costly endeavour to reach the debts of where those fishing nets have been discarded. Before the inevitable end of the fishing industries, it will be necessary to make dumping those nets illegal in the first place and fines should cover the costs of getting those fishing nets back, driving up the costs of fish product making vegan products more attractive by price comparison.
You inspire me to voice my opinion more often by making videos like these. I can tell you truly care about all of the subjects you speak about and do all of your research.
@@rondarkman. Sexual assault, homophobic, racist...the list goes on. He's just an all-around shiite person. Do your own homework, buddy. I have a life to live.
Thank you for this information on “Mr. Beast”. I don’t watch him, but my kids do. I’ve only heard that he is a philanthropist - I wish that rich people would use their wealth and influence for the good of all beings and the environment! Human culture (guided most often by ego and greed) is a very strong force and has bewitched most all of us in one way or another.
"The love of money is the sum root of evil." And his name being Mr. "Beast," as in the Devil, a term used in the bible is no surprise and pretty much sums up where he stands morally.

And maybe mentioning how much money people donated in comparison to how much made from his businesses. On a side note, I think Upper Echelon touched on something about him removing the “slavery free” section from his chocolate website. Reminds me of when Google backed down from the “don’t be evil” motto lol
ive never really warmed to mr beast, the way he talks about money and subscribers makes me think he only cares about making as much as possible and doesn't really care about how he does so
I can't tell if that's sarcastic or not.. I have to admit, so many people these days are hypocritical, or just down right dumb. But I think it's important to still have an opinion and continue to pursue the truth through all the lies
I really admire how you stay vigilant and make sure the truth is heard. It's important to keep things honest and not let these famous non-vegans glamorize the harm and killing of animals for food. #veganforever
Why would we want to contribute to heart disease and cancer for children? Think they're already being fed all the nasty stuff that schools got, changing it from 100% bad for health to 70% bad, doesn't make a difference. Instead let's promote plant-based natural foods to schools for them to use.
9:00 10000 turkeys equal to 100k kg of their flesh, which calculates to about 200k calories. Doing all of the math for grain, which I am using the lowest kcal per 100g. We get 1.2million calories from grain, which would feed half a million people compared to 70k people. So when he says he's helping people in need he really means that he's not helping those 430k people who are desperately in need.
The advert UA-cam decided to show in the middle of this video was a weight loss brand of a woman saying her favourite diet was one where she only ate Mars bars and (cow's) milk 🤨

Dairy really is scary as evidenced by the powerful footage shared in latest video by Joey Carbstrong which looks at treatment of cows on an RSPCA approved dairy farm
They're a bit old-school, but couldn't help wonder if the good old rap trio 'The Beastie Boys' had any influence. And hey, yes they do, vegan. Thinking it would be epic if they were to team up with UK rapper, Bob Vylan for a one off, and do some kind of twist on the young Beast boy's naivety and beastly dissonance

Of course he doesn’t sell out he’s real and vegan lol
@@4free273 best way to be.
Lol ed is the biggest sell out
His whole business model is to sell products. His products.
@@rondarkman.how so? Is he sponsoring dairy farmers now?
Also Mr Beast has a chocolate brand called Feastables that used to have plenty of vegan options. Later when he announced the new Feastables we noticed everything has dairy with no vegan options. We used to buy it but not anymore.
Well, vegan options are still there, such as:peanut butter, peanut butter crunch, almond, dark chocolate, and dark chocolate with sea salt.
What I found interesting about Mr. Beast was that he rescued a bunch of dogs then talked about eating chicken to help him loose weight? But he isn’t an anomaly because people that are not vegan picks and choose with animals deserve their life and which deserves to got into their gut. Being vegan you just respect everyone’s anatomy.
what does this have to do with any of the mr beast controversy? i feel like him not being vegan is the least of anyone's concerns
edit: yeah nevermind that's the main focus of the video
I think you mean autonomy?
@@Pepperoni290 both. Don’t go messing with other anatomy or autonomy. They use animals in medical for experiments that do nothing for them or the human. So yeah they use them as their play things like really psychos your main doesn’t matter so I do as I please with you.
morals are subjective not objective which is why Kazakhs eat horses and Koreans eat dogs and Americans largely don't. It's same reason why veganism can't be justified on being a moral imperative because not everyone agrees with these morals.
@@maxdougherty3429 Is it ok to do whatever as long as the person doing the action/a large enough portion of people think it's ok?

Man, can you imagine the major impact on the world Mr. Beast could have if he promoted veganism? That would single-handedly set a new course for humanity and animals.
No one cares about veganism cry More
Those with power never use it for good sadly
Meat-eating is tied to demon worship, so therefore demons/evil spirits will do anything and everything possible to stop people like Mr. Beast from becoming a Vegan.

Living in such a way as to not exploit other animals IS a lifestyle.
It requires you to live by those ethical principles. You can't call yourself vegan if you don't have a vegan lifestyle. 😊

I mean this with all due respect, but I don't understand how we can be so. Damn. Blind. When the truth is presented right in front of us. I'm glad I've changed my ways because damn that. Much love and respect to you, Ed, as we fight the good fight.
Ed talking about MrBeast isn’t something I thought I’d ever see 😅
Neither did I 😅
Yeah... This wild
Why it’s impractical to tell everyone to go vegan ❌.
People in coastal areas , have saline soil… they can’t grow much veg food. For them what’s practical is fish 🐠
People in areas with heavy rainfall areas (tropical Vietnam), have damp soil… they can only grow rice, coconut, coffee. For them fish 🐠 & pigs 🐖 are more easy to breed & eat.
People in desert areas (Arab), have water scarcity… they can’t grow any vegetables…for them sheep, 🐑 goats 🐐 meat is easy.
People in snowfall areas (alps), for them meat from 🐐 , 🐑 , yak is easy
But people living in areas with river water beds, plateaus can have lot of water resources & fertile land… they can grow almost everything. They should try eating plant based diet as much as possible. Even they can grow few livestock like cow, goats, chicken & feed them agricultural byproducts like hay, seed husk, etc.
We can fulfil our daily nutrient requirements by just eating 100 grams of meat per day along with plant based food🍖 🥩.
But we are eating a lot more meat than that❌.
So I think people should minimise meat consumption & find a balance between plant based & animal based food to conserve resources & attain better health. 💚
For a person in costal area, fish is a lot cheaper than vegetables & fruits.
People choose what’s local & budget friendly, not vegan friendly 🍃
Since it’s economically impractical for different geographical locations to import veg food from other regions, people will continue to eat local animal based products like dairy, fish & meat…
A nation is not run by fantasies, a nation runs by economics 🇬🇧
Me either
I'm pretty sure he already did in the past
I mean the guy killed a fish on camera for entertainment, I don't think he's an animal lover who just needs to be made aware, he simply doesn't take issue with animal suffering.
Or suffering in general. He's recently been accused of pretty bad stuff
I am a man of truth (although I belive you) but please lunk the video

Thank you for revealing the horrible truth about these people. It's so wrong to exploit the trust of the public for monetary gain and promote the sponsors real agenda of marketing products from the cruelty to animals and their suffering.
Thank you for shedding light on this perspective for people to see. Mr. Beast truly has the opportunity to make a difference on this planet but turns a blind eye to exploit animals and resources for profit.
You do an amazing job at these deep dive videos! There was a recent incident in Monterey where Vicente Joseph Arroyo murdered 80+ animals in a 3 hour period with dozens of random weapons. A video on psychology of these disgusting monsters who commit cruelty like this would be fascinating from your perspective.
I understand and agree the largest amount of cruelty faced is in the food people eat as billions of animals are killed each year. Do you think maybe there’s correlation with that and how some people are not compassionate and commit animal cruelty to this degree?
So many recent upsetting animal cruelty cases and it’s disgusting 😭💔

Edward of Nazareth strikes again. 🌩😇🌩😇🌩😇
And thanks for mentioning fish. The book "What a Fish Knows", by the biologist Jonathan Balcombe, is incredible.
The name alone "Mr Beast" should tell people what kind of a person he is. He is someone who is selfish and wants to always please his flesh. Greed comes to mind as well. He seems like someone who is still acting like a child and needs to mature and realize the reality of his choices .Eating plant-based food only would be a win for the animals our environment and our own health❤
84% quit because of health complications.
Thank you Ed!!🙏🏼💛🌻
While it's good that people clean up "ghost-nets" of the fishing industry, it is a mighty costly endeavour to reach the debts of where those fishing nets have been discarded. Before the inevitable end of the fishing industries, it will be necessary to make dumping those nets illegal in the first place and fines should cover the costs of getting those fishing nets back, driving up the costs of fish product making vegan products more attractive by price comparison.
You inspire me to voice my opinion more often by making videos like these. I can tell you truly care about all of the subjects you speak about and do all of your research.

Thank you for this information on “Mr. Beast”. I don’t watch him, but my kids do. I’ve only heard that he is a philanthropist - I wish that rich people would use their wealth and influence for the good of all beings and the environment!

"The love of money is the sum root of evil."
And his name being Mr. "Beast," as in the Devil, a term used in the bible is no surprise and pretty much sums up where he stands morally.

Personally feel like the part at 8:16 - 8:46 should’ve started the video and that the ad sponsors start too early, just food for thought 👍
And maybe mentioning how much money people donated in comparison to how much made from his businesses. On a side note, I think Upper Echelon touched on something about him removing the “slavery free” section from his chocolate website. Reminds me of when Google backed down from the “don’t be evil” motto lol
“The future of mr. Beasts reputation… is bleak” by Upper Echelon. Skip to the 8m mark.
ive never really warmed to mr beast, the way he talks about money and subscribers makes me think he only cares about making as much as possible and doesn't really care about how he does so
Seems like terrible companies use Mr Beast to "repair" their reputation... 😵
thank you for the impressive work that you do
👏👏👏 solid arguments. Well said.

I wish companies like Hodo, Beyond, and Impossible would donate to schools and food kitchens etc ...
their stocks are down i doubt they can afford to.
Why would we want to contribute to heart disease and cancer for children? Think they're already being fed all the nasty stuff that schools got, changing it from 100% bad for health to 70% bad, doesn't make a difference. Instead let's promote plant-based natural foods to schools for them to use.
Impossible is ownd by Bill gates f him
Just noticed this that in India there are no such brands for meat but just small scale sellers so is the journey easier for my country?
Better than solving a problem, is avoiding it in the first place.
ngl you are the last person i expected to make a video on mr beast but anything is possible in 2024
thank you so much for spreading awareness 💚
9:00 10000 turkeys equal to 100k kg of their flesh, which calculates to about 200k calories. Doing all of the math for grain, which I am using the lowest kcal per 100g. We get 1.2million calories from grain, which would feed half a million people compared to 70k people. So when he says he's helping people in need he really means that he's not helping those 430k people who are desperately in need.

Dairy really is scary as evidenced by the powerful footage shared in latest video by Joey Carbstrong which looks at treatment of cows on an RSPCA approved dairy farm
They're a bit old-school, but couldn't help wonder if the good old rap trio 'The Beastie Boys' had any influence. And hey, yes they do, vegan.
Thinking it would be epic if they were to team up with UK rapper, Bob Vylan for a one off, and do some kind of twist on the young Beast boy's naivety and beastly dissonance
