Sounds tasty. Great alternative to a cultural staple.
Wow, what a fantastic idea with apparently great results! Thanks for your wonderful work and your generosity. ♥
First video I disliked from you, and I have followed you back when you had like 20 thousand subscribers because you lie at 16:53
Shame.
@@joannot6706 That's called motivating people. It was done very well. When people are too afraid to even try, you have to relax them a bit and get them to make the first step.

The man dropping his food is me in every social situation
felt so bad for him
Embarrassing. 😂
Same lmao
Yes I have the same form of social retardation, recently I was walking my puppers and one ran away, so I ran after her and tripped over the other dog right in front of everyone lol, notice the stupid dog walker who can’t do anything right, then I realised I had dropped my phone whilst running. It was getting dark and I was on a giant dark field looking for a black phone. It took ages. I wanted to cry, not just because I might not be able to find my phone without the torch on my phone but just because I am so spasticated.
Lucifer Moonchild damn so sorry :/
People are way friendlier when they're getting something for free. Great idea to spread the message Ed!
That is so true and so underestimated
You underestimate non vegetarian smartness....you're a dumbfuck.
@@themalaailaanaa1347 what the hell is "non-vegetarian smartness"?
@@ASMRyouVEGANyet a better diet always makes smarter brains....when that smartness reaches critical mass it suicides by becoming vegan. Like an animal willingly walking into a tar pit.

LLusion #veganjesus ❤️
Yeah right
LLUSION 💗💗💗
how am i only finding out llusion is vegan. Lofi jesus really do we watching vegan jesus

I love how open all of these people are to veganism
It’s because food is food. If it tastes good people will eat it. It being “vegan” is irrelevant.
the power of free food lmao
That's like going to a wine tasting and saying "look all these people are alcoholic"
They are only there to not feel bad for eating the free food
Except the overweight dairy farmer. "Muh incomes!"
At least doing activism this way they can't use the "taste" fallacy. Thanks for sharing Ed!
No. It brings a new fallacy to the table. The "I can cook food in this way, so why can't you?" fallacy. Very similar to the "learn to code" fallacy.

So I am 14 and have been vegan for about 8 months. People say that a stereotypical vegan will announce all the time that they are vegan, but this hasn’t been the case for me. My friends and family tell people all the time that I am vegan. My literal name now at school is ‘vegan’. All everyone talks to me about is being vegan. I can’t even count how many times in one day it is brought up in conversations I have with people. Can anyone relate?
Definitely. Every time I go somewhere with friends or family they will announce that I'm vegan. But honestly I don't care at all. You should be proud that you've made this decision! A lot of people know it's the right thing to do but lack the courage to take the step
I'm extremely embarassed when people bring it up, I don't know why.
All the fucking time! And I am not even vegan yet, still in transition.
I can't relate even though I'm vegan. Well, I can a bit but it really hasn't had that much of an impact in my life since you know... Quarantine.
When I was your age, I was unfortunately one of the kids that poked fun at vegans. BUT those seeds they planted came to fruition when I finally grew up. You are setting a great example at such a young age. Good work!
“In this generation...we’re used to eating meat”. I’m 47 and have only recently gone vegan. The only thing I’d change is to have done so 20 years ago.
Why are you vegan
Went vegan at 25, I'll be 36 next month and still to this day I feel truly blessed to have come into this lifestyle.
JOEL CHAPMAN Combination of factors: mainly, I think the rights of animals are more important than my being able to eat them and their products; the environmental issues regarding animal production/agriculture, and finally, meat is really filthy. Any animal dragged through its own waste and the infections they incur. Blech!
Gen129 Awesome! You should feel really good about your choice!
Same here .... 47 and just become vegan 👍
Kudos to the dad for saying he wouldn't instill the same values in his children regarding animal consumption the way they were instilled in him.
I don't need any convincing to live on tofu LOL
Brother I love your video's x'D!
@Ribeye Demon wow what an incredibly astute question! If you could only recognize the self hatred behind it. You poor thing you
at0M X what an incredibly astute question! What if he is gay too and he is just asking? Don’t assume. That question is only offensive if you let it.
Ribeye Demon i didn’t ask if you did..
Aidan BUTLER did he say there was something wrong with it? Stop getting offended by everything.. he just asked his sexual orientation
Bless that guy at the very start who dropped his food poor fella! 💓
Verity I hope he got a new plate
Those soy beans died for nothing!
That was my favourite part
Fate knows better
I hope he is given a second serving. He was over-excited. It happens.
I feel like over the years watching videos like this, there's a hugely noticeable difference in how receptive and knowledgable people are in the current videos compared to the older ones.
It gives me a lot of hope.
Are you involved in any activism? :)
For some reason most people think tofu is nasty goopy stuff. Even I did before I went vegan. But DUDE, tofu can be absolutely BOMB 💣🙏🏼😜
Very tru dat.
Soy contains isoflavones which acts like estrogen. I stick to quorn myself.
@@possession2 "which acts like estrogen". They are literally 10.000 times weaker than estrogen. So instead of being worried about the isoflavones in Soy, you should be worried about the estrogens in milk.
Furthermore, in many cases isoflavones block the estrogen receptors, so you can't absorb as many estrogens.
@@possession2 Looks like estrogen, but does not function as estrogen, which is why those who eat a lot of tofu actually increase their testosterone and reduce estrogen.
@@possession2 When you eat meat, you also eat lots of soy.
It's Ed's logic that solidified me as Vegan for life.
Me, meat eater for the rest of my life. 😘

Ed is such a positive guy with such great energy and speaks so eloquently.
He's such a loser you mean 😂
@@wmwmwm9493 Of course he is, or at least he is to losers that don't get it.
@@wmwmwm9493 so is Joe Rogan
I love this, I think the mood is positive and people are warming to veganism!
Maybe so... but not everybody is going to switch to veganism. Nor should they have to. We have the right to eat what we like.
Nack Jicholson Do we have the right to ‘eat what we like’ if eating what we like impacts another living being? By that logic, can cannibalism be defended under the logic of “I’m just eating what I like”?
@@corison I'm sure you're taking him out of context. The purpose of existence of these animals is to serve us in terms of food, security (dogs), leisure, work, medical research, etc. Knowing the purpose (reason) of existence of anything in the universe is key to knowing how to use that thing. That's why the moral argument for veganism is the weakest one of all the other arguments.
@@Lerian_V You're right these animals are bred specifically for our benefit, but here's my question: is it ethically right? Do we possess a superiority over non-human animals that gives us moral grounds to use them as we see fit, even when said usage involves the infliction of pain and death?
@@corison Yes, absolutely. It's not the pain and/or death that constitutes moral wrong. A moral wrong is committed only when a divine (eternal) rule is violated. Likewise, it's not the harming or killing of a human being that constitutes a moral wrong; it's wrong (and therefore murderous) to kill a human unjustly because it violates the divine law.
If the mention of "divine law" or any religious term is off-putting for you, then we can stick to the PURPOSE of existence argument... still brings you to the same conclusion - should we go with our feelings and guts (man-made morality), or should we accept and acknowledge that morality is objective and not what we decide.
13:30 "Don't like birds, so..."
13:44 "Wouldn't eat a pigeon..."
she meant that at the same time she wouldn't go out of her way to consume them
well what you vegans don't understand is that not every animal is the same. they look different, act different and even think differently. of course people wouldn't eat pigeons, though i do know cases where some people do eat them. they are different than chickens
@@3brendan933 animals are certainly different one from another, as we are different from non-human animals, but we also share similarities, the ability to feel pain, fear, to suffer as well as being content. It's because of those similarities that we should consider this animals as equals, although different.
Polite, respectful and argumentative. This is how we should talk about veganism
Absolutely, however the important thing is that we are talking about it however that may be
Still too many psycho vegans out there though who are out of control. Probably 90% psychotic vegans and 10% normal vegans in the real world.
@@jayskillz1678 What do you mean exactly when you say "psycho vegan"?
@@lilithstorm7026 , psychotic vegans who invades restaurants, farms, shopping malls, etc without any consent, and shouting on their megaphones.
@@jayskillz1678 Firstly, do you seriously believe that 90% of vegans do this? I have many vegan friends, the majority of them are not activists. However the majority of vegans who are activists don't do the kind of activism that involves using megaphones or going anywhere without consent. Most activism is like what Ed is doing in this video or peaceful protests where they only speak to people who come up to talk to them.
Out of interest, if it were dogs or 3 year old human children who were being tortured, mutilated and killed unnecessarily, would you still have a problem with people protesting?
'I dont like birds, I would eat those' *2 minutes later* 'I think Pigeons are cute, i wouldn't eat them.'
Give me strength.
Multiple personality disorder.
Actually 14 seconds later
Humans prefer not to eat what they are emotionally attached to, this is why you don't eat your dog or cat... if plants were the same as animals you would not wanna eat them too, but since they have no eyes and cannot speak then for some reason its completely fine to eat them.
She has blind spots. She can't see her own hypocricy. Pretty much everyone has blind spots to varying degrees, in various ways until we start to question ourselves. It's not easy. Ed points out blind spots with compassion and excellent listening.
@@baynaraoa921 It's fine to eat them because they do not think or feel. Is this a joke?
It's insane how deep the vegan hate goes - like there are literally millions of people who think vegan food is all gross, inedible, nutritionally dead gray goop or algae. I've heard so many omnis be like "and the food is good....?" Like, let's be real here, I love animals but I don't think it would be possible for me to be vegan if vegan food was disgusting. It is extremely difficult to eat disgusting food, it's against our very DNA, it's why we have taste buds: yummy = calories and nutrition (well, our brain thinks that anyway). This was a really good idea, and even if just a few choose less animal products it's a big win. :)
Watch dominion 2018 film then spread it everywhere you can x
Well funnily enough animal flesh has no flavour at all without loads of salt and plants (herbs and spices) added to it! So why not just flavour other plants instead? Most people who say that have never even tried vegan food but people are waking up and more places are doing delicious vegan options! :)
If you ask me it's akin to the vitriol people who say "I don't drink alcohol" get
Good advocacy Ed. It's never too late, I went vegan at 55 and I'm 60 now and vegan AF 🤨 extremely proud and feeling good 👍 . Cooking plant based is easier, cleaner and tastier. Washing up much easier no nasty baked on animal fat to scrub off !!!!
That's amazing! My mum went vegan with me at the age of 58, it's never too late to change for the better! Have you ever considered doing any form of activism like Ed is doing? :)
@@lilithstorm7026 thanks. I have but nothing transpired. Well done to you and your mum too 👍
@@Debbieanne51 Keep trying! It's very likely that you'll have planted a seed in someones mind that'll just continue growing, most people don't decide to go vegan on the spot after speaking to an activist but they do start to become more conscious :)
My mom went vegan at 66. She loves it! Her doctor is proud of her. She lost over 50 pounds, got off her cholesterol and heart medicine and reversed diabetes.
Oh man, the washing up is SO much easier
he is literally the sweetest human out there, i can watch him politely destroy people in arguments for days.
Ed has such a wonderful way with people.
It’s called being civil. The vegan community can learn a lot from Ed.
Absolute legend!

i imagine every insult someone tells other people is their biggest insult to their ego that someone has said to them one time
@@fantasick8880 so can the flesh consumers, in fact tons more
taste preference is nothing but a habit.
PREACH
Can you elaborate on this a bit? I’m curious if what you mean
@@jakequaza3567 taste preference is a learned behavior. Many things we taste for the first time we dont automatically like, until the second, third, fourth or so time we try it. Having a favorite food means you developed a habit for that food.
0wnuquik interesting hypothesis. Are there any studies about this i can go look at? That definitely doesn’t seem intuitive because there are some foods i could never imagine liking. But i’m curious about this
@@jakequaza3567 there is a saying that taste is acquired. There are many studies on this as well as what's known as "flavor-flavor learning." I recommend studies by Brunstrom and Fletcher. scholar.google.com/scholar?cites=1510705824171828061&as_sdt=5,33&sciodt=0,33&hl=en
I'm getting so tired of hearing the same uneducated arguments from the same unhealthy, uneducated farmers that get on the defensive.
Damn, Ed. You've got patience.
Very true. Olympic gold-medal standard patience.
Nick Morphew just curious... Are we humans omnivores by anatomy? yes or no?
@@iams2109 We're somewhat omnivores, yeah. We were originally primates based on a plant-based diet, then we evolved into homo sapiens that were mainly plant-based with animal products to make sure of survival.
But I'm not sure how that matters. Why do you care whether we're omnivores, carnivores or herbivores?
@@thebestofenergy yes indeed we are omnivores by anatomy which mean we were made to eat meat, plants and fruits. Not only that... our digestive system process these 3 elements. Im talking about our biology anatomy, not personal choices. Why the question? Because the answer is just enough for me to crash any stupid vegan comment against meat-eaters. Thank you vegan people! 😘
@@iams2109 How is that answer enough to 'crush vegan comments'? What does it matter what our ancestors were eating?
You're doing a big mistake, Ivan. It's called appeal to nature fallacy. And that mistake is going to cost you your health, the environment and animals' sufferings for no good reason.
Please take a moment to read.
www.logicallyfallacious.com/tools/lp/Bo/LogicalFallacies/36/Appeal-to-Nature
We also fought for land and women all the time, which means we were made to be competitive enough to fight for that, so does that mean we should do that?
Just because our ancestors did something, doesn't mean we should.
Should we rape and shit without cleaning our asses because primitives did?
That's really retarded.
I first thought to go pescatarian but after watching Ed, fish are friends and not food! 🌱
Yey😘
That’s awesome :)
Daph enie If you say so.
Fish are food. Very tasty and some of them very healthy for humans. I can tell you how many good dishes are in my diet with those beautiful animals.
@@iams2109
Humans are food, in more rational cultures. You better run.
I am eating tofu pasta and watching this
What is tofu pasta? Like pasta made out of soy, or is it pasta with tofu chunks in it? Either way, sounds delicious AF
@@AmaraFerris Normal pasta with minced smoked tofu, with tomato-paprika sauce, it's really really good tbh
I'm eating meat with pasta and fuck is so delicious mine...
@@iams2109 like u maybe noticed this is a comment section where the most part are vegans. So if you want to tell someone how you enjoy your dead animal then do so but here nobody cares you just seem ignorant and childish.
Ivan Mendez good on you mate!!! For those vegans please take a good look at the electric devices you are typing those vegan friendly comments on because they are full of animal products eg cholesterol for LCD screens, gelatine for batteries, animal based agents for plastics and adhesives...so looks like us meat eaters aren’t the only ones with the blood of dead animals on our hands....🖕🖕🖕🖕
I went Vegan a year ago. At first I found it tough to know what was good food and what was bad. Now I eat such beautiful stuff including tofu. I feel at least a thousand times better. There is no need for this murder and cruelty that we see around us
That's brilliant! :) I find that the best way to know if it's good food is if it's a whole plant based food. The less processed the better. You can't go wrong with lots of legumes and in season veg and the more colour on your plate the more veriety of nutrients there is! :)
Love that Ed’s able to answer every question/skepticism in a thoughtful manner. He’s a total pro.
Are you involved in any activism? :) You eventually get used to all the possible excuses and learn how to respond to them, we can all be just as good as Ed!
That farm dude needs to go Vegan... He looks like he's on the brink of a heart attack
or diabetes, or stroke...and you can ony imagine the gut health...or ill health
ApexEDC 88 Oh yes I agree his shape is a heart attack waiting to happen. Too much fat around the belly and chest area, is also submerged around his organs. It's a fact his arteries are pretty much blocked. Majority of
heart patients have his shape, ask any heart surgeon☝️.
Probably already had one
ApexEDC 88 he’s pregnant
can you all not insult the people? jeeze you want them to listen to you then you act in a way that makes them hate vegans. Just be civil to everyone.
Approaching people with free tasty vegan food is one of the best possible ways to get the message across.
They were all very understanding and very honest without any one getting upset. I'm glad that I became a vegetarian and look forward to the day I can be completely vegan. Thank you Ed for all you do!♡
I remember thinking tofu was lame/poison, then I tasted it and it was great. Then I saw the research on Soy consumption, it’s good.
I love flexing on alphas at school with eating tofu/soy. They call me a soyboi yet I literally have that in my bio lol
Same, i lived my life thinking it was like cardboard flavoured food for hippies, untill i had some
@@80slimshadys I grew up in Vietnam, so tofu was something we ate on a weekly basis. When we moved to Canada, my parents would make tofu every week from whole soybeans for our entire family. I am in my fifties and still love tofu. We make tofu weekly too using my parents' recipe. And interestingly, I have not experienced any menopausal symptoms!

YESSSSSSSSS😍😍😍😍😍😍
@Ribeye Demon Or they prefer men who can dominate intellectually like Ed?
Every discussion he has he absolutely obliterates the other person verbally while being very warm and gentle about it.
You should try it some time.
@Ribeye Demon When are you finally getting to the end of your resistance to the inevitable by trolling vegan channels by the way?
You already know you'll go vegan eventually because of all the footage you've seen by now.
"The slaughter was humane. Unlike the halal version, which is evil."
Ah yes. Killing a farm animal is fine, but hurting it is evil.
@anyways People like you, saying things like that, are the reason people laugh at vegans and think it's a joke. Focus on facts.
@anyways Great work mate. Showcasing the average IQ of a vegan.
@anyways both regular and halal slaughtered animals feel pain.
Halal: cutting the throat does not stop pain nor does it cause them to be unconscious immediately. What you say is the effect of cutting someone's head off completely.
In the Netherlands the law prescribes that in halal slaughter an animal must be stunned if the animal is still conscious after 40 seconds!
Further, they perform tests to check whether the animal is still conscious. One of them is pinching the nose with some device but the checklist literally states that this does not work well for halal because the pain of the throat cut is so much worse than the pain in the nose that the latter will not even be felt!
Stunning in regular slaughter also causes suffering and pain. You can watch this video which compares gas chamber stunning to electrical stunning. This is not an under cover video but advised by the communication department of slaughterhouse Vion, I called myself.
ua-cam.com/video/adtjQDW9rVE/v-deo.html
@anyways I left a comment before that, for some reason it must not have posted, or been deleted.
I said that if you think having your throat slit is on par with a bolt to the head then you're kidding yourself. I know i'd much rather a bullet to the head, than to have my throat slit (providing I had to choose either).
@Sramana Dasyu well is actually the fact that we are 'omnivores' and we have the right to eat animal meat, plants and fruits. Circle of life starts with birth and ends with death but there is also 'Food Chain' where humans can be in top or in the bottom depending of the circumstances.
Seems like a lot of people think that the bolt is what kills the animal which isn’t true, it’s only to stun the animal before killing it.
And at least here in Sweden the bolt is mainly used with cows and with pigs they use carbon dioxide. These people talking about ”humane slaughter” should be shown what it looks (and sounds) like when pigs are being subjected to that.
The mode of killing an animal is an ethics issue, not a moral one. The best method is to stun and then slit its throat and allow it to bleed out. End of story. The vegan moral argument doesn't really hold up because the purpose of existence of these animals is to serve us in terms of food, security (dogs), leisure, work, medical research, etc. Knowing the purpose (reason) of existence of anything in the universe is key to knowing how to use that thing. That's why the moral argument for veganism is the weakest of all the other arguments.
Lerian V Don’t know why you commented that here? I’m not discussing what’s morality and what’s ethics. My comments was aimed towards those who doesn’t know the process of killing animals within the meat industry.
But for the sake of replying to what you wrote, animals existing for the purpose of being of use to humans are nothing but your beliefs, not a solid fact.
We don’t need to consume animal products to live a good life, a lot points to it being actually better than to keep consuming animals as we do today.
I could continue this but I feel that my reply is long enough.
Just to finish off, you have the right to believe that animals are here to fulfill your needs but framing it as a fact is just plain wrong.
Hope you have a good day 👋🏼
Lerian V “the purpose of existence for these animals is to serve us...” According to who exactly? You? What a ridiculously self-biased “argument”.
That's what we do at Anonymous for the voiceless, show them the reality of it. Have you heard of AV? Are you involved in any activism yourself? :)
Lilith Storm yeah I know about it, I live in a smaller city but there’s a group here that does the Cube of Truth. :)
I’m not involved in any organization but I do my best to affect those around me in a positive way. For example inviting my family to go see The Game Changers which resulted in my dad switching to eating plant based.
I do see the benefits of the more hands on activism but I also believe that just setting a good example, showing people around you how uncomplicated it can be and encouraging them to start thinking about these issues regarding animal rights, climate change and/or health can really do a lot.
Ed is my hero. The fact that he isn’t condescending to anyone, even people being rude or just trying to point out flaws in his arguments. So calm and just an overall voice of reason
"I don't have time to watch the labels to know if I can eat this or that"
"In my work they hand free plant based food"
People don't have the time to read labels but supposedly they have the time to eat only locally sourced, humanely reared meat. One of those things is not true, or probably both.
"That's a really good question" that I definitely never heard 10,000 times before.
Ed, you're my hero. You were one of many reasons for me to go into activism. I met so many awesome people and I love the conversations with the public.
Amazing Ed!

Without the money do you think he can just go all around the world talk to everyone and try to tell people to be vegan ? Am I saying Ed is not good ? But I don’t think he can do this everyday with out a job. You should be the one who do some thinking. If you don’t get it that’s fine. No need to tell me to do some thinking.
@@rockytheonly7542 through integrity Ed managed to manifest the means to his ends. That's all. The sponsors are simply props in his plan.

This man is driven and forces will coalesce to give him the opportunity to drive. He is the driver, not the sponsors

@@lilithstorm7026 I like how he discusses his opinions in an adult manner and does not shout and scream. I wish more people could behave like this with other subjects. I'm not vegan but eat some vegan food as I enjoy the taste.
@@sidsnot6952 Oh I see, yeah I agree, I think some people who are vegan respond like this because they feel very emotional about what we're doing to animals and they haven't learned all the facts in order to respond so calmly and collectively. I'm sure this is the case with some other subjects too. People in general also just need to learn to listen to each other instead of like mentioned just shouting lol Out of interest what would prevent you from being vegan?
@@lilithstorm7026 I'm just not willing to give up meat but I eat about 20% less than I did a year ago - this is due to trying new recepies like cauliflower pizza, tofu chips, bean burgers etc.
@@sidsnot6952 That's great, those all sound really delicious and healthy! :) Is it because you'd miss the taste of meat too much? If so, ask yourself what's more important, our sensory pleasure when eating an animal, or that animals life? I get where you're coming from as 3 years ago I couldn't possibly imagine myself being vegan but now my only regret is not doing it sooner!
The good news is there are now so many plant based alternatives to meat, cheese and eggs that taste very similar, some even more flavoursome!
Pls bring the truck to America
And Australia!
America is a country of dumbfucks
And Sweden 😭😭😭
Pls dont
He'd get shot at
Hey ed, just wanted to thank you for something. I recently had an assignment at my college for extra credit to go to a vegan activist's lecture and then present my thoughts on it. I did it and it went really well.. we got to discuss it afterwards and I was able to answer everyone's questions thoroughly and even convinced my teacher to start going vegan by the end of the entire project. I think watching your videos and researching the ideas you bring up has really helped equip me to inform others with reason and facts. Thanks for all you do, you are making a big change.
Keep up the amazing work! We can all be just as good as Ed at spreading the message. He also inspired me to do a speech with questions for a local youth group :)
wow, amazing conversations. I guess the sunshine makes people less angry haha
...and free food!
Ed, you're just gold. Thank you for everything you do ❤️
Loved this! Such a great way to do activism. Everyone was happy to have free food and seemed way more open and chatty. Great to hear that people are making changes too. There's definitely a shift happening. Thank you Ed.
I love Ed too. He inspired me to be a hunter. ❤ No more farming animals in the future
I feel really sad about this. Do you believe that's beneficial and do you think that's a sustainable solution?
@@peachyvegangoddess190 don't get sad. We humans eat animal meat, plants and fruits. Of course is beneficial, much better to eat those farming animals. I live in Canada and hunting is a sustainable activity.
@@iams2109 Its not necessary to eat animals. I'm proof. Vegan 7 years and thriving. Its far far better for the planet to not eat animals and hunting is not a sustainable option for the whole planet. Do you rwally believe it is? Why would you kill an animal unnecessarily? It makes zero sense to me. I hope you take the next step and stop killing animals.
@@peachyvegangoddess190 so 7 years no eating animal meat, but 25 eating them before and was not necessary back then? What convenient for you....
"humane" = bolt to the head, according to that one guy. But there's hope for him, based on some of the other things he said.
Bit unfair to put it like that, he really meant "as painless and with as little suffering as possible". Granted the answer there is not to slaughter at all, but I'm just saying I feel you're coming off a bit Us vs Them and culty with this language and strawmanning you're doing, and guess what that only makes people more easily give in to their biases and psychological preferences and refusal to try out veganism.
@@AtticusHimself I'm merely pointing out just how warped the belief system of carnism is that we are indoctrinated into. Because of carnism, people regurgitate things like a bolt gun to the head as something that is "humane". And I ended my comment on a positive note; I am not throwing the guy under the bus.
@@veganfortheanimals6994 just curious mate... Are humans omnivores by anatomy? yes or no?
@@iams2109 No organism is omnivorous by "anatomy." "Omnivore" describes a behaviour only.
If you believe humans require meat, then please name a specific adaptation we've evolved to aid in the digestion of meat.
@@hoominbeeing not my dear the behavior is another thing nothing related with the word omnivores. Again... omnivores is because our digestive system allow us to eat and process animal meat, plants and fruits. Do you want an example that you can understand? Okay : An Hybrid car use Gas and Electricity? Yes or No? ----- if you tell me that hybrid car only uses electricity ot the vehicle was brainwashed because he was using gas, I will immediately post this in Facebook as the joke of the year lol hahahahahaha
God Ed is just so wonderful, so kind and thought provoking, I aspire to be able to speak to people like he does.
You're the best vegan activist there is man. Love how you approach people and exude kindness no matter what ♥️🙌🏽
18:16 Do as I say, not as I do. But hats off to him for not brainwashing his little ones.
Why brainwashed? We are omnivores by anatomy. We can eat meat too.
Ivan Mendez just because we can doesn’t mean that we should.
Thank you for you willingness to put yourself out there!
You are AMAZING!!
I love this
Ed, you're such a genuinely nice person , man. Thank you for everything you're doing!
Maybe that you will never see this comment. But I just want to say thank you. Thank you for opening the mind of all of these people. Thank you for your words. Thank you for your powerful talks. Thank you for everything. One day, this exploitation would only be a bad memory. And it would be partly thanks to you. You're an amazing person.
Such a cool and positive way to spread the message! I’ve always felt like food is a good convo starter. Every time I order veg food or ask for veg options some people will ask me why and... You know the drill 😏
Ed, your way of approaching people is absolutely masterful! That needs a lot of sensitivity and empathy. Thanks for this great video ... I am convinced that some of them have something to think about after talking to you.🌱
This is so amazing to watch- you handle these conversations in such an open, but such a persuading way
When the guy dropped his food at the beginning, that was so adorable. He felt so bad and Ed was just laughing uncontrollably.
Cheers to the man, so receptive and calm! This was a really nice watch Ed :D Thank you!!
On a positive observation it seems like more people are making changes than I would ever have imagined. Thanks Ed for everything that you do. Best wishes.
Such a great idea to spread the message and get people talking. You can’t deny delicious!
I just wanted to say that the way you approach people is just so polite and respectful! Im binging watching all your videos and I must say Im in love with your way of viewing things and talking about them! Thank you so much for your work!
Well done, Ed! This is amazing 🌱🌍♥️
Bloody love your account and approach mate, more power to you 🙏🏻👏🏻
The conversations you're having are amazing. Thank you for doing this.
Vegan activits should take him as an example
I literally could watch hours and hours and hours of this. give me more ed. its a addiction
I loved this video so much. You spoke so well Ed!!
You are a fantastic human. I love you man! So much respect.
Fantastic conversations. Well done, you are so approachable and generous with the way you converse with people :)
Next level activism❤️love"ed" it
Please never make a pun again
The way Ed sparks thoughts in the heads of people and spreads the message is just amazing. Instead of telling people in a militant way what they should or should not do, he shows interest in their lives, experiences, their perception of topics and then calmly explains what lead him to veganism.
That's the way to go with people.
You can't force change but inspire. He certainly inspires me!
You are advocating for animals in the very best way Ed. Love your extensive knowledge base and your calm, honest answers. Never get sick of your videos. Truly inspiring. Vegan for life.
I love Ed too. He inspired me to be a hunter
@Ronnie Moron Raaawwwwrrr! LOL.
absolutely love the very many creative approaches used to helping educate the public - great job !
Start recommending Game Changers! It’s on Netflix!
Yeah!
YES!
Just finished watching it. Brilliant.
I think this was filmed before Game Changers came out. Hopefully he recommends it in future.
@@Samuel-vq4ii Well this was just posted a few hours ago
What a remarkable project! Keep up the brilliant job!
Thank you so much for sharing the message in such a kind as well as informed manner. Keep up the great work!
Awwww bless these people, most of them were really amazing and open, they came in with such an open mindset to veganism!!! also can we address that lady that said "I don't care about birds, ill eat them" and then went on to say "Id never eat a pigeon" 😂
Ed out here doing Gods work once again, thank you for your activism.
BrettC11B he’s the #veganjesus ❤️🙈🤣
@Ribeye Demon Excuse me?
@Ribeye Demon The Benevolent Creator is inherent in veganism. Animal exploitation is Satanic. Simple.
Loved this video! Everybody was open minded and open to conversation! Ed you are absolutely awesome!💪🏻
Wow. Everyone seemed a lot more receptive here! I love the food truck idea. Great job as usual, Ed.
