    Hey everyone, sorry for the re-upload/wait due to some audio issues! The ethical debate starts at 42:00 (it’s mainly environmental topics until that point).
    Big shout out to Vegan Footsolider for helping out!

      @Earthling Ed for me this was Totally AWESOME 👏🏼 👏🏼👏🏼
      A true meeting of minds 🧠 - albeit diametrically opposite!
      It was heart💔breaking to listen to the justification for the slavery, suffering and slaughter of Mothers 🐮 and Babies 🐄
      For me, I heard a lot of repetitive self reinforcement of the reasons why ‘harming’ is necessary and Veganism 🌱 cannot possibly be sustainable...
      YOU were so amazing, as always and I do hope you can arrange to go to NI and meet up with Ryan in the Not too distant future‼️
      Your soft spoken, non confrontational, honesty packs a Real PUNCH 🥊

      I think this farmer was very brave to come on this podcast and discuss these things with Ed. I loved that they were so respectful to each other. When we see farmers like this lad talking, we do need to realise that farmers have been doing what they do for generations and we have to have some sympathy and understanding for the fact that their livelihoods are at risk. It is discussions like this that help to move the argument forward. Mutual Respect and conversation is the way to go. But I do agree that it is a shame that sometimes farmers do not understand all the science out there, and some are evil to their animals. Then we have no option but to expose those cruel people.

In the future, times will change and maybe you'll find that you can live happily and conveniently off of a vegan lifestyle. If you truely believe raising herbivores on grasslands is important to the environment, turning a small farm into a sanctuary is perfect. You'd never have to send them to slaughter and we'd be happy to donate.

      @Annie Well, I actually GREW UP on a cattle ranch, and have witnessed 'orphans' which are bottle fed, for example, away from the rest of the herd. And when they are returned to the herd, when their gut is ready for fibre, they usually adapt and integrate with the other cattle within a day or so.. I've never seen an orphan show the type of social distress that that article is alluding/hypothesizing..
      HOWEVER, when, I personally, became over- attached, over friendly with the orphans, then I have witnessed more stress accrued by the orphan when returned to the herd - this was due to TOO much human inyerference/pampering etc. These are complex animals, that few people really understand, since 99% or so of the global population has spent any significant amount of time with the. This is one reason that the vegan agenda is readily persuasive to the generally urban public.~

      @Annie That's nice.. they're an urban university, not actually a farm. If these calves were significantly stressed, they would become sick, costing the farmer (usually a stressed bovine will develop pneumonia, which can become quickly fatal, especially for weak calves). So if this 'early separation', was significantly stressful, there would be many sick calves, which there rarely is, in properly managed operations. Animals don't lie, if they dont feel well mentally physically, they will show obvious distress and usually become physically sick rapidly. So it is never in the farmers best interest to distress them. Just how it works - is natural law of creatures..)

      @harrovechten3828 Před 4 lety +6

      Meat production can easily by lowered by 50% and there still will be no shortage. But due to the Mansholt-Plan (a food variant of the Schuman-Plan, created to prevent future famine in Europe), farmers will always overproduce. There are other options in the 21st century, but it just shows that the overconsumption of meat has economic roots, and should be countered with an economic sollution. Vegan activists offer no such sollution, which is why they're so inefficient with their protests. Veganism is the future though, and it will eventually happen, but at a current rate it will still take at least 50 years.

    Ed knows non-vegans are not the disease. 'Being' non-vegan and the psychological conditioning is and hence he doesn't target them out, he targets their acts because he like mostly everyone was once a non-vegan himself and hence he knows how and what works and what doesn't work to convince people.

      Please also educate yourself about the horrific capitalist industries of surrogacy and adoption, which exploit poor women, particularly in the Third World, to produce children for rich/First World people. Vegans need to oppose reproductive exploitation of all animals, humans included, and feminists and all decent people to oppose the dairy industry and others which exploit the reproductive capacity of non-human female animals.

I worked out the caloric efficiency in one of my videos and it was some hilariously large amount more efficient to grow potatoes than eat beef. In terms of health, the arguments on the table are basically "nutrient density tho" which is essentially just "smaller portion sizes are better tho". OK, says who? I like the amount of food I eat.

      It is amazing speaking to so many vegans because they believe the perfect world exists. If life is so sacred you may do no harm in anyway. No infrastructure of any kind, no farming of any kind, no releasing of pollutants into the air, water or ground if you even suspect it will harm anything. You must only take what nature produces. That would be as moral as you could get. Go all the way, don't compromise at all.
      But ordinary people live a life of practicality. If vegans want to hold the high ground don't use anything that has caused life to be lost. Think of all the infrastructure that you have inherited to use and how much harm it has caused to build or do.

      ok and I guess we need to explai what "G-d" with a capital G (NOT lowercase g and with an s at the end) means
      it means the primary existence -- that is all. not some human in the sky, not some angelic being, not some imaginary friend, not a genie, not any kind of being with a form -- it is literally EXISTENCE, everything that exists, plants, animals, rocks, people, stars, space, thoughts, all time, past, present, future, everything exists from the one true existence, known as "G-d" (with a capital G), when people talk about gods" with a lower case g and with an s at the end, they usually think of some kind of superman or angelic being or genie or spirit or something, that's not what G-d with an uppercase G means, it means, like we said, just EXISTENCE, so to deny G-d would be to deny all of existence, including one's own denial, which wouldnt make sense
      anyway, you say u support action (aka violence / protests / blocking business) to suppor tthe cause YOU believe in, but the problem is that is exactly how the nazis thought, and the communists, when humans start making up their OWN ideas of right and wrong and enforcing them, they can justify anyhting at all, according to the vegan mentality, all humans are evil if they cause continuous harm to animals, its very possible that the next vegan move, instead of stealing property and yelling at children telling them they are murderers, as well as some PETA activists causing fires to animal testing labs etc would probably be taking lives of meat eaters with weaponry, this could EASILY turn into another civil war, just like what JUST happened in seattle, just like what happened in nazi germany, communist russia, when people start making up their own ideas and opinions of what is right and what is wrong, and then enforcing it, the most dangerous things could happen

If you think about the farmers the majority have come from generations of farmers it’s not just going to be that easy to educate and change their perspective and way of making a living if it’s the only thing they’ve known.

    This is how a chat and debate should happen, both people being very understanding and respectful so you can properly just talk about important things.
    You definitely made Ryan think a lot about all of this. As always though, you can see how conflicted he is about a lot of this like with the way he's trying to cling on to eating animal flesh with almost every point he makes it shows how desensitised he is with what happens on those dairy farms and believes that there's such a thing as "Humane" slaughter.
    The way he talks about the speciesism is just so widespread because of the media brainwashing people to love dogs and cats and just eat everything else, unless it's Asia, where they even eat dogs aswell. It gives people that consume animal products such a disconnect, I'm living with one that's this shut off, my Dad, and it's aggravating because deep down he loves animals.
    I asked my Dad a while ago how would he feel if he was out somewhere and some cruel knob head was just punching a pig or a cow in the face, I asked if he'd try and do something to stop it, he said it would make him really uncomfortable and he probably would try and help the cow or pig... but he still eats dead pig and dead cow stuff. Just doesn't see it and when I try and start talking about it with him now he just shuts off.
    You've given him so much positive information but I'm still not sure if he's that open to it. It's a lot of conditioning to get through even though he's very young.
    Around the 57:00 minute mark it was a bit odd to hear you use that euphemism with him, the abattoir, instead of slaughter house.

      I’m not a vegan or vegetarian and I read your comment. I think asking society in general to make a huge dietary and lifestyle change suddenly is never going to happen. Food culture and cooking is a huge deal for many, as is just the issue of affordability of nutrient dense foods.
      As far as your dad goes, many people, like myself, do feel an animal can be humanely killed for meat. If I’m hunting and shoot a deer, elk, or antelope for food, I make a clean kill and that’s it for the animal. I practice my marksmanship and I have not failed to make a clean kill once. I am adamantly opposed to animal cruelty. Because of where I live and the choices available to me I’m able to eat plant products that are responsibly farmed, and obtain my meat from what I consider to be ethical sources. Your dad would likely feel the same.

    I live in Ireland what the lad here said about hedgerows and meadow maintenance is half true. In my parish the farmers pump water from the river, there is far more grazed land than meadows, they have also being decreasing due to construction of more homes in the countryside. Plus the uplands keep getting burned with gorse fires which tend to get out of control often. We basically have a larger percentage of unnatural grazed farmland than natural meadows especially down here in Co. Kerry. Hedgerows are being cut during nesting season by the local council.

    Ed- found you on Rich Roll's podcast. Way to go asking questions and staying clear about life.

    Thank you for this video, Ed. I really enjoyed watching your conversation. I am very pleased with the tone of the dialogue. It is far too often that disagreements take an uncomfortable turn or maybe even grow aggressive, which is really a shame. We all deserve to be respected and treated with the kindness that we preach about for human rights and, for some of us, extend to animal rights. Though, I don't think any minds where changed here, I do think this video demonstrates how to hold a proper conversation on very sensitive topics regarding differences in belief, lifestyle and information. After all, we are all in this together and we musn't forget that despite our differences.

    He was a nice guy, confused about data. I like the way that Ed approached the talk. Some vegans tend to be too belligerent in similar situations, and it doesn't help much

    I just love how well and polite this debate/discussion is handled by both of these men. Brilliant

    The most reasonable, balanced and respectful debate I have ever watched from the two opposite ends of the vegan vs carnist debate. I wish everyone was able to debate this emotive issue as reasonably.

    Lovely to see camera this time, makes it a lot easier to concentrate! Ed is artful at dancing around the defense walls and cognitive dissonance and ignorance of carnists without offending and pushing them in the wrong direction. Too bad the intensity of this young guy's cultural indoctrination presents a huge barrier to absorbing the politically suppressed science on a plant based diet, for health and environment both. He said he'd change if he had concrete proof; well, it exists.

    It might be weird to recommend but you should react(maybe on live stream) to an episode of "yakusoku neverland" or "the promised neverland" (english title). This is the synopsis: Surrounded by a forest and a gated entrance, the Grace Field House is inhabited by orphans happily living together as one big family, looked after by their "Mama," Isabella. Although they are required to take tests daily, the children are free to spend their time as they see fit, usually playing outside, as long as they do not venture too far from the orphanage-a rule they are expected to follow no matter what. However, all good times must come to an end, as every few months, a child is adopted and sent to live with their new family... never to be heard from again.
    However, the three oldest siblings have their suspicions about what is actually happening at the orphanage, and they are about to discover the cruel fate that awaits the children living at Grace Field, including the twisted nature of their beloved Mama.
    Spoiler: Well, the kids are basically high quality cattle.
    It think it does show that even with best care and conditions, killing is still a bad thing. Even if these are kids, everybody knows that sentient beings don't want to be killed and trying to let's say make killing as humane as possible, there is still death involved. I think it is very fitting that the word humane has a definition that ultimately describes veganism: Acting in a manner that causes the least harm to people or animals. Even though we do it for the animals because they have no voice, I am concerned for both sides. I wish every living being on this world a fullfilled and healthy life. To me we are the same. Living, breathing, feeling and wanting to enjoy our time we have on this earth.

    Hi Ed, I’m a 60 years young and just turned vegan-vegetarian last year. I love all your videos. I just can’t support the cruelty of the slaughter house. I have been buying meat from my local butcher for husband consumption. What’s your suggestions on this? TY for all you do!

    Unfortunately for Ryan, you cannot ensure that every animal product, the animal involved has come from a loving happy farm. Enjoyed the conversation, well done on both parts.
