^^^^^^^ It's because of idiots like this twat that people think veganism is the answer to anything or some kind of consistent ethical framework. If you're opposition is this guy then you'd be reasonable to assume you're in the right, it's a shame that's not the case. Stay curious, stay safe.

@@rorylee3582 "Veganism is the answer to anything." Well, that's really awkward phrasing. It's make more sense to say, 'veganism is the answer to everything', but in any case, I'm sure vegans know that that's not true. Adopting a plant-based diet on world-wide basis would be very helpful, but it wouldn't leave us with no more problems to solve. However, it important to note that veganism isn't just about people eating plants-only for the environment (although there are certainly ethical arguments to be made for that), but rather it's really about un-alienating animals from their right to live and not be exploited by others, it's about expanding our circles of inclusion, and so on. And veganism in action is defined as abstaining from using animals to greatest of one's abilities, to the extent that it does the least harm possible. Vegans _do_ believe that if more and more people do this, eventually animal liberation will be achieved. It is our hope that if people aren't taught to take it for granted the it's all right and normal to commodify and oppress sentient beings other than humans, they'll be less likely to do it to other humans. So, in that sense, we do think veganism can solve many problems, but not all

Hey, just to help you out even more please consider visiting channel BiteSizeVegan and tumblr blog acti-veg for animal rights and overall information on veganism as a whole. Many people "go vegan" and don't understand that it's not just a diet, it's a philosophy that advocates for animal's rights. With help of those resources you can find out that many things are not vegan like horse(any animal) riding, honey, silk and wool, animal breeding for purposes of owning for fun, emotional support, disability support, any kind of work in general. Visit channel MicTheVegan and website veganhealth.org for health and dietary education. For cosmetics and house/clothes cleaning products leapingbunny.org and logicalharmony.net. r/vegan for pretty much anything. www.vegan.com/animal-ingredients/ for non-vegan animal ingredients in anything as well as this one food additives www.veganeasy.org/food/food-additives/ veganwomble.org.uk and doublecheckvegan.com for pretty much anything as well and happycow.net for vegan restaurants and stores. And now to I would say the hardest pill to swallow: vegan dog and cat feeding and care. You can find out about that by visiting CompassionCircle and facebook groups Vegan Cats and Vegan Dogs Nutrition(especially files of both groups), but keep in mind that if you don't have any animal companions - you shouldn't get them anyways. The idea of having "pets" is not vegan at all as domestic animals were taken by humans from their natural habitat and actually don't have any purpose but to entertain humans. I you want to show more support and love to non-human animals you can donate to vegan farm sanctuaries and volunteer for all kind of shelters and sanctuaries as well. I know that it might be difficult to hear that vegans want domestic animals to peacefully go extinct but that's one of the hardest things you as a vegan will have to understand and acknowledge. Good luck~

Hey i will correct your sentence in proper english (because it seems you are trying to get better, not to be mean) "Watching these kind of videos makes me think about when i went vegan. I saw the truth and i went vegan without excuses." (I didnt know what you meant by "and that is why i am happy about that" so i didnt want to touch it. Hope i helped.

Same here, tbh when I was younger, I’ve always thought that everybody would WANT to be vegetarian(i didn’t know about what they did in the egg and dairy industry then) but they couldn’t because they valued taste over life, and I thought that everybody would agree that being vegetarian(vegan rn ofc) is morally the right way. I didn’t know people actually have excuses and some actually believe that animals are meant to be eaten. I remembered the first time hearing someone say that, my young brain literally was blown away(and not in a good way lol)

I am making the transition from an omni diet to veganism. Initially I wanted to do it primarily to reduce my carbon footprint, and then when I started watching Mic the Vegan’s videos I felt confident I was doing the right thing due to reading and discovering the scientifically backed research on nutrition and health. And then I found your channel and as a result am doing a lot more thinking about the ethical and moral implications of consuming animal products, which I had always refused to consider and rather focus on more or less selfish reasons like personal health and reversing the impact of climate change. I am fascinated by the way you debate and argue with passion, it really inspires me to make this change to reduce the suffering of the animals and to spread awareness. Thank you so much.

Congratulations! Do you know about the resources Ed often mentions in his videos? If you need any help, I've seen that he hands out cards with this website on them: challenge22.com I haven't used this as I went vegan years ago but it seems useful. Also, forks Over Knives is a great documentary and has a great site with a lot of articles and stuff. Hope it goes well for you! :)

Ed, I want to thank you for changing my life. You are a hero. Not only do I feel much happier now because I know truly that I am doing something good, I also feel that my mind is more structured. I also changed the minds of many of my friends because they wanted to know my opinion on the topic that changed me. Not only do I think beeing Vegan benefits myself I really think I am doing something good for the world. I want to reduce suffering as much as possible and beeing vegan is a great step towards this goal. Not only did beeing vegan help me to know what I want to do but also thought me who I want to be. I thought a lot about morality and came to the conclusion that I should confront all my Problems and issues und the way to fix problems of humanity is to start to confront ourselves with our morality and structure even more who we cant to not only become as individuals but as a society. So again thank you Ed!

@Kieran Jones Do you like the taste of raw, unflavoured meat? Most people don't. Besides flavouring it with loads of salt, ironically, meat is usually flavoured with plants (herbs and spices) Since going vegan I've never been healthier both mentally and physically. I'm also not lacking in any nutrients and in fact I was more lacking in nutrients when I ate meat. When moving onto a plant based diet your taste buds change, I now love the taste of almost all fruit and veg (even raw) and cannot stand even the site or smell of meat.

I'll start by saying I've been Vegan for over two years. I've never felt better in my life and beyond the health benefits, I feel that I am living so much more in synch and congruently than I ever have based on this choice. It's become a huge passion for me. Having said that, I was really moved and enlightened by the last point in this video. While we have all seen the horrors of what some of the workers do to the animals which would be considered cruelty to the highest degree, I never stopped to think of how this really can be considered the exploitation of humans as well. For those in desperate need of money to put food on the table, (no pun intended,) this would be the lowest possible job one can have if you have any love for animals at all. It makes me wonder if ANY of the workers have pets of their own. There is literally NO difference taking the life of a dog or cat, versus a pig, cow, lamb, chicken, or any other sentient being on the planet!

I actually really enjoy the interviews on college campuses because you can tell these students actually think about their answers before they say them, and they sort of have a mini "debate" in their head before they come up with a response to make sure they aren't making any logical fallacies.
