In today’s debate I sit down with Sahil, a student who wants to question me on supporting companies like Apple. We discuss where the ethical line should be drawn and also his vegan friend who dictates where they can and can't eat.

Ed on Shredd! ⚡🤘😆⚡💥💯💥💚
when a question is asked which obviously does not suits you, the easiest answer is that it is not a question for which it is only a vegan question
Joey's ship has sunk. try to put more ballast on yours, for safety's sake. never debate big names

Brilliant. Ed! 👏 👏 👏
Massive respect to this dude. He's actually noticing his own cognitive biases arising and calling himself out on the spot. Its hard to deprogramme yourself out of a societal norm. His humility is refreshing to say the least.
There are always the self-aware omnis teetering on the edge of wanting to do the right thing, they'll probably be the first to go vegan
My taste is more important than to go vegan
Get a grip veganism kills more animals than any slaughterhouse
Its his upbringing. He is hindu.

Evil ? Not really it's a food source
Rare to see a nice, open, smart and self-reflective debate partner sits down with Ed, this was one of them.
Because he usually cherry picks morons to make his stance look better.
@@danm8004we are surrounded by morons. No cherry picking necessary sadly.
@@danm8004nah, most meat eaters are just morons who have no real argument against veganism🤣 they make themselves look stupid
@@danm8004BS
Prove it
You obviously haven’t watched Ed much
@@gregcoggin8345 I watch him all the time, more than 90% are idiots. That's the best proof I can offer.
What a refreshing video. One of those “faith in humanity is restored” interactions. No mention of sentient plants, lions eating gazelles, protein deficiency, or the circle of life.
Just a rational being searching for the ethical answer while considering the practicality aspect.
Well said! 💕
There's your problem, you're searching for an 'ethical answer' when you already know what the answer to your lot's fanatical dreams of a Veganised Majority forcing Veganism on us omnivores... Synth Food, 10x more industrial mono-crops or mass starvation (or a mixture of all 3 more like).
--
Your radicals' demands put people off and turn their followers into a cultish clique trying to force their MAD FAD on the rest of us. I've NEVER met a Vegan who is not a Woke Activist too (and I'm going back way before Woke was even a term, and I've known a lot of Veggies and Vegans, annoyingly)...
--
You need to search for the 'LEAST ENVIRONMENTAL IMPACT' answer, as a non-fake Green Guy is a fake-green NWO, full of brainwashed useful idiot Activists, owned by fake Global Commies owned by Capitalist uber-men. Mass Forced Sales Scams using the full power of The Law, pushed by muppet activists of zee owned Fake Neo-Left.
Sometimes I feel as though Ed could turn a lot of people's minds around about racial inequality, wealth inequality, etc. He's so calm, kind, and he listens. He doesn't just spew the same script over and over, he meets people where they are.
Those with racist views would put up the same arguments and use the same tactics as those with non-vegan views.
Sometimes I think the Americans are just captivated with his accent and patos.
Not a chance, he's just another virtue signalling hipster-lib brainwashing victim. An incredibly environmentally destructive Fake-Green fad. Even brainwashed kids are waking up to all the trendy woke nonsense and rebelling against these goody-goody control freaks... They're also fed up of being demonised for wanting to protect their land and eat farmed animals that graze grasslands - Vegans can't eat grass even though it's the most common form of greenery, grazers can, and we can eat them. Replacing this system with more mono-crops instead of less is maximum environmental destruction. As a non-fake Green Guy I'd start by banning grain crops and the decorative plant industry, all greenhouses used from food production.
As vegan activists we can often get mired down in logic and debate tactics, but this shows how deeply important emotional intelligence is to changing minds, both on the part of Ed and the interviewee.
Def something I try to emulate in my own outreach.
💯
🌱💙✌️💚☮️
Well said! 👏🏾
Yep, NTT "debate bro" culture full of hypotheticals have some value.
But my intuition is that for most people, a reasonable dialogue without hypotheticals and infinite circle of NTT is much more convincing...
@@eduschwhat is NTT?
I love how genuine this conversation was. You can tell this guy was being incredibly honest with himself and open to changing his mind. I wish more people were like this guy!
When you understand why you become vegan it’s like a switch that gets flipped in your brain. I think these conversations are so important bc it helps people see different perspectives.
Yeah, you look at all the ways we use animals through a totally different lens
@@Deathhead68 Truly. Grocery shopping has become a surreal experience for me. I find myself noticing just how many items contain animal byproducts & people happily grab those items off the shelf. Whether it’s wilful ignorance or a lack of empathy, it bothers me to my core how normalised we have allowed this to become.
@@BoopMeHard yep, but at the same time, I used to be one of those people! So i try not to let that bother me too much
Absolutely!
It was so strange to me that after hitting the button, I almost immediately couldn't imagine how on earth there was a time I wasn't vegan.
@@ThelemicMagick I relate so hard.
I don't own an iphone and thrift when ever I can. Veganism is not about perfection. We live in a world driven by money and unfortunately avoiding cell phones or the occasional new garment is just not possible for some of us including vegans. It took me a really long time to give up animal products because I didn't understand or want to hear about my impact and the damage and suffering my consumption was causing. Six years after going vegan I can't imagine returning to my old ways. It's been the most rewarding and also eye opening decision I've ever made. It's possible to do your best maybe not be perfect but when you stop eating animals you're already reducing your impact and incredible amount. I hope all the people who are considering a vegan diet will take the leap. It's worth it.
The way you talk about it makes it sound like a cult
@@sukmidriwhat exactly you mean?
@@sukmidri I'm sorry, I can't put my finger on, but are you actually serious or trolling?🤔 I hope you know and realise what a cult actually is, like the definition of it.🤨
@@gabishul Trolls be trollin', always showing their insecurities.
Good message, but the world isn't driven by money. It's driven by the self-interested choices of the populace. People choose to have animals killed for taste pleasure and convenience. People choose to support exploitative businesses if doing so benefits them personally. There's no accountability among the people, so we blame selfish decisions on our ability to trade rather than looking in the mirror for everything that's wrong with the world.
What an incredibly respectful, kind and intelligent guy. Not many people have the self awareness that this guy showed. I'm happy that he will join the vegan community. The world needs more people like him.
I completely agree with you. What a refreshing debate.
True!
Sahil is self-aware and reasonable, I really hope this conversation takes him to veganism 🥺
It's hard for people to admit that they've been doing the wrong thing. He's done the first step, he'll get there!
It takes wisdom to have such humility too.
What a genuine guy! He was really honest about how he feels and wasn’t trying to “win”.
Agreed. It's an unusually refreshing conversation
Wow, this was such an amazing debate. It is nice to see someone overcome their own cognitive dissonance. Ed, you are a spectacular animal rights advocate. I applaud you for all that you do for veganism.
Cognitive dissonance is the feeling of unease from your actions not aligning with your morals.
@@Ranger1812 It is the psychological resistance that prevents us from accepting when we are wrong about beliefs. We are all vulnerable to it.
@@kevo2056 "In the field of psychology, cognitive dissonance is the perception of contradictory information and the mental toll of it."
en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Cognitive_dissonance
@@Ranger1812Wikipedia is not a reliable source for information as you might think. It is what the politicians definition is. So unfortunately what you told the other person is not accurate.
This guy was super genuine about his feelings. Huge respect, that's not easy to do.
I really REALLY wish there was at least one more person in my friendship group who was vegan as well...
SAME....
Vegan friends wanted
-Rexburg, ID lol 😂
And what would that change? You could talk about not eating meat? Lol
@@MuppetsSh0w the topic of food comes up more often than one would think. It'd be nice to not walk on eggshells when it does come up.
Having that unspoken understanding would be HUGE
@@MuppetsSh0w i don't know cuz I don't have it! Haha but I think it would make me feel like I'm not the only one who cares, and we could talk about just the mild social annoyances that come with being vegan. It would be easier to convince people to try more vegan restaurants if I wasn't the only one who wanted it, and it's just nice to have someone who shares your views no?
Is that's why dinner plates worldwide are filled up with deliiiiiiiiiiiiciouuuuuuuuus 🥩🍖🍗🥪🌭🍔🐔🥩🥩🐖
That guy was awesome. No excuses, just honesty. And his answer at the end, "I think I will." Well done.
Great discussion - many of my leftist friends have similar counterpoints to veganism that appeal to futility which Sahil brings up, such as the common, "There's no ethical consumption under capitalism." It's odd and inconsistent to hear that from leftists, and I think Ed does a great job of approaching the conversation (as always) with grace and consistency.
the statement is true but even under capitalism its possible to have not only worker exploitation but also animal exploitation, so its preferable to have one over both.
Sorry leftist friends? 😅
I think this is the Achilles heel of this movement. Many Vegans dumb it down to left vs right, Theist vs Atheist, capitalism vs communism argument. There's somehow this notion among people that Vegans are leftists, Atheists, communists and have some large insidious plan which they propagate under the garb of veganism.
Vegans just can't comprehend to appeal this cause in a stand alone manner. They must have same same political or ideological or theological consensus.
And when people start to associate Veganism with left, they also associate it with other left ideologies like wokeism. And their grudge or presumption for one leftist ideology percolates and seeps down to veganism.
So their mind turns up their defense systems whenever in a debate with Vegan, and starts to give all types of contradictory reasons for not being a vegan. They become stubborn and make it an ego issue. Like if they accept that veganism has some points to ponder upon, they will have to suffer from an identity crisis and they have to change each and every aspect of their life. Like if they are believe in God they have to be an atheist or if they are republican they will have to be a democrat or whatever.
I mean how hard can it be to convince the people to not kill a living being unnecessarily when we have better alternatives. Turns out it is very hard, so there must be something that they are trying to defend that they hold very precious. And they think Veganism will destroy it and impact the society in a bad way.
I think this psyche is a major issue and hiccup.
Exactly. While there's no ethical consumption there's still better and worse. Absolutes are for people that accept an ideology without thinking twice. Speaking from the left
Hi, love this comment, Leena Norms has a great video regarding the phrase, i also hate hearing it as an excuse to do nothing.
Remarkable conversation. I am genuinely impressed by Sahil's honesty and willingness to confront the inconsistencies within his own morality.
I met Ed at my first chicken vigil about 6 years ago. Kind soul. Great work
Thank you for this! I hear this response often when having these conversations. Also I just finished "This is Vegan Propaganda" and even got a family member to agree to read it. Well done!
Nice debate, and this guy is so well-spoken. I appreciate him.
You appreciate animal abusers?
Well said 👍
I was, much to my surprise, moved to tears watching this. Sadness for the suffering of the animals, hope for the change that is, can and will occur on this world, and admiration for both of these men. Yes, let us not forget, in all of the areas where we can do better. And, as we know, veganism can be difficult if you only think of yourself, but easy when you think of the animals. 💖
Animal meat shall remain as food for eternity, just like the billions of years that it's been until today 😊
Imagine having this level of conversation with a non vegan 👏👏👏
I hazard a guess that since he grew up vegetarian he understands how meat is dispensable, thus there is less of a mental/cultural hurdle to bypass. He probably is honest that is it mostly about taste than anything else. That being said I could see myself being good friends with someone with his personality, because he is a deep thinker who reflects rather than reacts.
Imagine having this level of conversation with a salt water crocodile 👏👏👏
@@suburbanhomestead Talking about someone who reacts rather than thinks. Ironically he just popped in to say a few words Donolonisa 🤦♀

Thanks Ed - It looks like you planted a seed here. This guy knows what he needs to do
guest was self-reflective and honest, props to him
Two very intelligent and compassionate men, thank you ❤️
Nope! One is the other isn't, yet.
@@crocnockerable Dude I understand the passion, but Sahil is trying. Most of us were like him at some point, even Ed.
What a calm, thoughtful kid. It's nice to hear a reasonable, respectful conversation instead of the emotional self-reinforcing diatribe that most folks resort to today because they can't face their cognitive dissonance. ❤️ to you both!
You’ve literally described vegans….
@Shamrock299 True. Calm, thoughtful, reasonable, and respectful. Not all, but most. Everyone is an individual, for sure. And this exchange shows that you can't put all meat eaters in one box either
Refreshing to see someone actually listening, good guy
That boy is an activist in the making. He is so well spoken and humble. Looking forward to see him go down the moral path.
Him becoming an activist would be a waste of life
@@divinegon4671 cool
Very smart educated conversation. I have been vegan for many years, I have a Fairphone 4 and I try these days to buy second hand as much as possible.
I'm for sure not perfect but try to do as best as I can.
Respect for Sahil for being so open and honest and engaging with the ideas presented. I remember when I first was learning about veganism I shared a lot of the same thought process. Thanks for spreading love and information Ed!
What a refreshing interview this was. Ed, you’re always amazing, but this right here was THE master lesson in compassionate, judicious, and EFFECTIVE reasoning. And this person seemed genuine and astute; I think you’ll have made a vegan out of them!
In the beginning I thought it would be a big lifestyle change, but then discovered it was rather easy.
i really love this guy. ed is usually the one asking most of the questions and allowing the other person to present their opinions but this is one of the few people who’s asking ed genuine questions about his viewpoint rather than just blurting out “gotcha” points like most people. respect
True. Love this guy.
So refreshing to see a high EQ person in this format. Great talk as always Edward!
Wow
Im very impressed with the emotional intelligence of this guy
Saying that there’s no choice with iPhones is absurd. Surprised the dude just let that slide so easily.
What a great conversation. Like you Ed, I appreciate this person's humility and intellectual honesty. It's rare
A lovely guy and brilliant discussion. I liked how comfortable this felt and how both parties were so respectful. Vegan here :)
Why would a vegan call an animal abuser a "lovely guy"? Do you call a child abuser a "lovely guy"? Why is it different when the victims don't look the same?
@@DiahRhiaJonesHonestly, with that kind of comparisons you will convince nobody to care more about animal wellbeeing.
You will Just give them excuses (stupid excuses, but people will still happily use them) to call vegans extreme and Not question their behavior.
Also, I honestly do not think we should equal those two issues. There are many many differences, but what I am primary thinking about is that child abusers in any case know that it is wrong what they do, and they live in a society where it is impossible if Not really actively wanting to believe otherwise it is more than clear that this is not okay.
With buying animal products in the supermarket, which is sadly a completely normalized Thing, a lot of cognitive dissonance and missing knowledge is connected.
A very easy thing that shows it is not the same: Nearly all of us were animal abusers once and first had to learn that we are and that we can change.
The Same does NOT hold for child abuse.
However, even if you still consider this a valid comparison, I still would like to encourage you to not use it in Public. You only reach the opposite from what you would like to reach.
@@sofiebrammer1482 explain to me the morally relevant difference between the victims that makes that comparison unacceptable.
@@DiahRhiaJones I explained to you the circumstances that make the comparison unfitting in the way you use it.
I am vegan myself and I never said that it is okay to make non-human animals victims.
A comparison does not need to be UNfitting in every point to be not valid.
It needs to fit in all relevant points to be valid.
My main Point is to make you understand that you do the vegan movement and consequently the animals no good with communicating this way.
It is your choice whether you want to reflect that or not.
All the best to you.
@@sofiebrammer1482 No you didn't. You didn't give me a morally relevant difference between a pig or a cow and a child victim that would make comparing the similarities of their victimization to be unacceptable. I don't care about how people react to me. Thats not morally relevant and certainly not relevant to the victims.
Stop writing walls of text and answer the question.
Team second hand technology and clothing for the win! It's so easy to get the conversation back on track to animal rights when you commit to that plus it's better for the planet and humans ❤
Second hand technology is reducing the environment impact and exploitation but nevertheless when you buy a second hand product there was somebody who used it first hand, which still causes environmental and ethical issues.
What you are doing is just a compromise not a solution.
@@rangv733 They never insinuated otherwise. You sound unnecessarily antagonist and confrontational.
There isn't a vegan phone. To use a smartphone one must purchase something that resulted in great death and destruction. So of course purchasing a second-hand one is massively superior in every respect.
@@rangv733 One could say the same about electric vehicles, they aren't necessarily better than cars but y'know, it's a compromise bc people can't or don't want to rely on different modes of transportation. The best option is owning no car, but what if you need one for work? What if you like to travel alot? Are you gonna force everyone to take trains, buses, or simply walk on foot? What about hitchhiking, now you're just relying on someone else to volunteer for your own pleasure.
This is a joint effort! The solution would be not to stop buying smartphones, but for working conditions to improve, for retired phones to be recycled, etc. If you want to be mad at someone, be mad at the big companies who are not taking their responsibility towards making these solutions become a reality, and instead prefer to exploit for profit!
I love how you yourself are open in every conversation too, how you really think about and talk to the person, and not just shooting arguments. so great to have this level of empathy in those conversations, I find it to be very inspiring
I try to learn from Ed how he talks to people. They're very valuable indeed to me.
Dear Ed, I have so much respect for your time and effort you put into these. This young man was a joy to see. The thought process traveled through and now he wants to be vegan. You did a fabulous job. Kindest regards- 🌱🌱🌱☮️
Calm, collected and on point. Good job!
What a good conversation! He seems super open minded and very intellectually honest, love to see it.
Sick of people that think having vegan friends is an inconvenience. Seriously, when given that facts it comes down to how selfish you are.
Am grateful Sahil stopped by & sat down to have this exchange with Ed.. I never cease to learn something new from these videos, including about myself. 🙏❤️
WOW ! This was probably the best debate about gaining knowledge and takingn life changing decisions anyone could ever have in a random and unexpected place
As always, Thank you for your service ed!! ❤🌱
This young man is incredibly impressive in his reflection and openness to new ideas. These traits are very very rare. Protect him at all costs :)
The young man could make a great leader too.
Wonderful conversation! So positive ❤
I literally had tears in my eyes, cause people like him give me hope. Thank you Ed.💚
He should see how complicated the life of a dairy cow and egg hen is
do you know why Dodo (the bird) no longer exists as a species? no one raised it as a source of food for humans. what makes you believe that cows and chickens would still be around if they weren't part of the human food chain?
I think how we treat animals also directly correlates to how we treat other humans, female genital mutilation, sexual assault, and human trafficking are major issues around the world once people have determined something as having lower worth than them (wether it be a person or an animal), scary justifications are made.
Such a good discussion once again Ed! Bravo for this young man saying what many might also feel. I was there before I became vegetarian, then where I was before becoming vegan. My progress was a succession of bargaining with myself. Finally, I could no longer lie to myself. Society is so set up for not doing these things but has come a long way in the last 35 years. Just be sure if you go vegan you actually pay attention to nutrition. Just because it's vegan doesn't mean it's healthy. As we know better, we do better.
Do you use pharmaceutical drugs when you get sick?
@@sauravnirala3876Vegans don't use such things. Vegans don't get sick

This guy's mentality is exactly like mine was before I turned vegan
veganism will ruin your health. stop it.
This was the wholesome thing I needed in my life today, thank you both!
Love watching your videos Ed, almost finished reading Vegan Propaganda as well. I envy your seemingly effortless ability to articulate yourself in a debate. I always feel overpowered with emotion when trying to defend animals. Do you (or anyone else) have any advice to combat this?
Agreed. Some, if not most people give responses that can stir your emotions especially their indifference. But we can learn from Ed, thankfully. I hope and wish I can talk like him one day.
What a lovely man and conversation ❤
Very nice conversation. Thank you for sharing
Just remember, dont let the perfect be the enemy of the good. Just because one cant live a perfectly ethical life, does not mean that one shouldnt work on the things one can effect
I love what Ed says about vegetarianism: "It's a signal to ourselves that there's something wrong we're doing with animals."
Totally agree! That IS why I went vegetarian thinking back. And was the stepping stone I needed to veganism❤
I wonder how many vaccines he's had.

Listening to Ed is so soothing to my heart. Love, compassion, intelligence reflects in his voice.
Beautiful interaction. Well done, Ed. 💚
What a great talk! Thank you both! 💚
What a positive conversation! I think for people like this at the beginning of making the shift to veganism, it can be good to remember you don't have to be "perfect". If you slip up, it doesn't mean you have to give up! It's about reducing suffering and making the best choices in all areas.
The way he's displaying his emotional intelligence by noticing and talking about his emotional reflexes in real time is very attractive.
Thank you for video, it saves animals's lives.

I like how self aware he is about his own cognitive dissonance
cognitive dissonance, by definition, requires self-awareness, otherwise it wouldn't be cognitive dissonance. however, cognitive dissonance says nothing about whether his discomfort is brought on by right values or whatever behavior.

What a polite open-minded guy! That's the idea to debate and have an open mind. Most people don't even want to listen. Great job as always Ed.
What a lovely young man ..great conversation 💖
What a lovely guy. You know, my experience, and I've heard the same from other vegans, has been that going vegan is much much easier than you think. Of course it takes a few weeks of getting used to, but after that it's just the way you live. You don't miss anything. I've also really enjoyed learning about nutrition and cooking. I can honestly say that I eat more tasty and am more healthy because veganism gave me the boost to learn about these things. On top of that I feel good about myself, knowing that I am not directly contributing to the exploitation and slaughter of animals.
Agreed. The best feeling is you know you are not contributing to the companies and people who profit from cruelty.
Wonderful conversation, and I appreciate that the man who is a vegan is being compassionate and yet firm in his belief.
Really impressed with the guy's humility, it takes some balls to admit to these things especially in front of a camera.
‘The bargaining comes with forgetting’. Spot on. Love this young guy talking to Ed.
Thank you ed for all you do!
