In today’s debate I end up in a heated discussion with a UC Berkeley student who defiantly tells me that he won’t give up eating chicken.

Hi Ed, I'm a meat eater but a question I'd like an answer to if we stop eating meat would be what do we do with the animals that we have solely for eating (chickens, cows pigs etc) do we just let them be let them fend for themselves against the world. Keep them in captivity like a zoo. Also I'd like to hear your opinions on us humans having animals as pets as I'm sure you're aware of ethical points against us having pets. This is a open question to anyone who's a meat eater, vegetarian, or vegan.

For me, it's life long. I'm old, and nearing the end of what would be an average American lifespan. That in spite of the fact that I suffered a severe disability from a drunk driver, and have had to face many of the problems that people with my disability have. You've gotta be getting a good amount of proper protein and many other nutrients to survive some of the things I've been confronted with, yet here I am. Taking it to the distance, and perhaps further. When I get invited to potluck dinners, I volunteer to bring the mains (not hard since everyone hates cooking mains and would rather bring a salad, pop, chips, or cookies bought at a bakery. I always take something vegan, and I always go home with an empty container and lots of requests for the recipe. When they find out how jaw droppingly easy and inexpensive whatever I've made is, I almost always have a shoe in the door. After the second time, when they know they're going to be satiated and not get hungry for a long time, I've got a convert, especially when they ask, "do you have more of those kind of recipes? They know I'm healthy even though my condition would suggest I shouldn't be, and they think that if I can make it in a little of no time that they almost certainly can too, and they're right. Even without fake meat vegan food can be better in all ways if you make the right things. You don't even have to evangelize. Let their tongues, tummies, bodies, and wallets do the evangelizing. The best way to convert people is to help them discover with their own direct experience how much better a way of life it is. You have a super in with college kids. Also, convert a lot of college women and you will have several generations won. It's the women who feed the kids, and in most homes it's the woman who decides what's on the man's menu. Teach women how to make vegan foods that will fill mens' needs and you'll really seal the deal. It's rarely hard to get women to eat vegan. If you can teach her how to make food that men will crave just as much as they crave meat, You'll have the ladies nocking down your door trying to get those magical recipes, especially if their quick, healthy, and inexpensive to make. I'll bet you anything he'd have made a convert out of the guy if, instead of trying to win and argument with the guy, he had have simply fed him something that he really liked and that left him craving nothing, then did it again the next week, and maybe one more week after that. Everyone wants to save money and feel better. Provide that for them and the rest will come right along. If no one is eating chicken, the chicken hell holes will dry up, and farmers will grow human feed instead of chicken feed, including the farmer who used to grow chickens.

@@SammieMousie I've been vegan all my life, and at 74. I'm not short on protein. I do make sure I get both rice and beans within a 48 hour period of time, and that seems to have covered it just fine. You don't get to be my age having had a healthy baby along the way by being anything deficient. Anyone who thinks that veganism is an unhealthy life choice doesn't know what they're talking about. It's baloney. But ya can't beat 'em by arguing with them. You get it across to them by feeding them really tasty, very healthy, inexpensive and easy to make vegan food. They eat it enough and like it most of the time, and they'll convert without an argument. They'll do it because they choose to, and that's the way to make a permanent convert. If vegan food is better and more satisfying in all ways, they won't want meat. Feed them food that ticks all the boxes and they'll give up meat. They'll have no reason to, and will on their own choose the better option. It honestly is that simple. I've done it. I've got ideas to share if anyone wants to commit their life to making a real change. It really can be done, and if enough people do it, we will eventually reach critical mass, and at that point most people will be vegan for all the right reasons, and the folks raising animals for meat will have to turn to more profitable ways of making a living. Instead of growing chicken feed, they'll grow people feed.

All the nutritions, minerals, acids, protein, and so on = Everything goes INTO THE MEAT THAT BUILDS THEM.

Would you like to give it a try? I don't know what's going on in your life, and maybe you don't have the time or have other priorities to devote your life to.

[@Chompchompyerded]

@@jackbicknell4711 I would do it the way I always have. I would cook the food for them , let them eat it and enjoy it, and give them the recipe to go with it. There are some extremely easy vegan recipes which are very inexpensive and at the same time very nutritious. College students are always short on money and looking for ways to save. They are also always short on time, so if you give them food and recipes which are cheap, simple, and taste delicious, as well as satisfy their hunger, they'll make the right choice all on their own. Also, it's best to target the women. Guys eat junk, and nothing is going to get a college age guy to eat better. But if you convert the women, after the wedding bells ring, she'll have a captive audience, and if nobody else converts him, she sure will! He won't have much of a choice. I've been doing this since I was in college almost 50 years ago, and I'll tell you, it works! I've got more people to go vegan simply by feeding them than anyone has convinced simply by arguing with them. Try it! You'll see. Don't expect them to make the dive right away, but after they've tried a few things they like and that they can make on their busy schedules, they'll change. Also, when you hand out the recipe for what you're feeding them, make sure to put all over it how much it costs per serving. That will really get their attention. One other thing I did for awhile was to open a restaurant near campus where I charged only what it cost to make the food. I got funding from other vegans to cover the rent., and handed out recipes for what I was making with the meal. I also offered to bring anyone who didn't know how to cook back into the kitchen to learn if they wanted to. I had the lowest prices in the area, and the food was as good and better than anything else they could get in the neighborhood. In that little show I got more people to turn vegan than from anything else I've done. My goal was a strange one. It was to get so many people cooking vegan at home that it would put me out of business. The thing was, I was always ending up with a new crop of students coming in each year, so as the old crop began coming in less and less frequently, I'd have a new gang coming in each fall. From time to time I would ask some of my patrons if they had gone vegan, and almost invariably they'd say they had. Folks really will make the right decision if you prove it's the right decision through their tongues and bellies.

[@Chompchompyerded]

It's because he's going about it the wrong way. There are far better and easier ways to get people to become vegan than arguing with them. That only builds up resistance. If you give them the opportunity to make that decision for themselves, you'll meet very little resistance at all. It's not that the guy's stupid, it's just that he's resistant, and when you're trying to argue someone out of doing something which has been an integral part of their life since infancy, you'll never win by arguing. That's not the way the mind works. That doesn't mean you give up. It only means you try a different way which will get you far less pushback, and will bypass all the irrationalism which everyone throws up when long cherished ways are challenged.

[@beeeean]

Does being vegan automatically make you a good person because you made the more "moral" decision on reducing less animal suffering?

[@Chompchompyerded]

@@beeeean It all depends on how you view animals, and how much you want to do for the planet, especially when it comes to reducing one's carbon footprint. I'm tired of religious types telling me what's moral and what's not, and I'm not about to tell anyone else what's moral and what's not. If you believe as I do that animals which are used for food or for the production of food are sentient beings who are self-aware and feel pain, then in my opinion one should not inflict pain or hardship on them. That's my take on it, and I have pretty hard evidence to back it up. I don't want to do things that cause pain or harm to anyone. Others will see it differently, and far be it for me to to judge and to push my morality off on others. Each person finds their own morality based on their own realities, knowledge, and beliefs. Because you believe differently from me does not necessarily make you more or less moral. It only makes you different from me. I know I'll catch flack for my position, but that's how I feel about it. I desire to be allowed to make my decisions about my life and my moral values, and I believe you should be allowed the same.

It's impressive every time to see you, Ed, being calm, focused, and kind during these discussions. It's sometimes hard to watch these videos (this one is one of the tough ones) since it's not only the arguments but the ignorance that's disturbing.

[@Chompchompyerded]

It's not ignorance. It's resistance to changing a thing which they have known all their lives. It's difficult to do because of the cognitive dissonance. That's why you'll rarely change someone by arguing or debating them. They're defending against something they've never questioned their entire life, and that doesn't have to be rational to them. The way to convert them is to demonstrate to them via their other senses that this is a good substitute. Feed them really yummy, in expensive, and easy to make vegan food that is satisfying and keeps them full and you won't be able to help but convert people. I've been doing it all of my 73 years and I've converted a more than a hundred people without the least bit of pushback. When I feed them and they really like it, I hand them a recipe card and tell them how little it costs to make it, and at the very least they reduce their meat intake. After they've collected several inexpensive, easy and fast to make dishes that they really like, they choose the vegan option every time, and I don't have to argue with t hem one bit. The argument is in their mouths, tummies, and pocket books. There's no beating that combination. They will convince themselves, and that's an argument that will last a lifetime, and be passed on to another generation. That's where you get the biggest bang for your buck and your time. Try it and see.

[@tp_cologne]

@@Chompchompyerded I couldn't agree more and I'd love to print your answer and hand it out to everyone who wants to 'convert' people by judging them or their socially inherited thinking. I agree the best way to let people change their mind is making them realize a vegan life isn't about getting rid of taste, choices, and joy. Letting people experience the beauty of creative vegan cuisine and the ease of change is definitely what's more successful. Still, of course, it's disturbing to watch. Not because there's someone who didn't reflect enough yet on what they've learned in their life so far and what the reality and the morality and ethics around that might look like, but because it's a mirror for my and other's former mindset, when I wasn't vegan, but trying to find the exact same excuses. So, I stick with my comment that the ignorance is distrubing, but you reminded me that it took a while for me to realize it myself. Thanks a lot for this comment and for your encouraging words.

[@Chompchompyerded]

@@tp_cologne I have another tool that I've used over the years and I'm trying to find people who would be willing to use it. I won't charge a dime because I want others to do it so that they will have an easier time understanding. If you could learn to communicate with a duck or a goose at a high level, and if you could then use that duck or goose to prove to people that these birds that they are killing for food are sentient, self-aware, and emotional beings would you do it? If you have the time to dedicate to it, I can teach you modified Central Flyway canada goose or mallard. It will be very much like committing to raise a disabled child which happens to have a very sharp mind. It will take a lot of time and dedication, but the end result will be something amazing that you probably couldn't have guessed is possible. I have done it several times, but my life is drawing to a close and I don't have time left to do it. Basically you will need to need to see the bird through its entire life. I will warn you ahead of time that when the bird passes, it will be like loosing a child. It hurts more than just about anything else in terms of emotional pain. I can tell you that without a doubt because I lost my only child and that loss was exactly the same as the loss of the ducks and the geese which I have raised and communicated with. If you can face the pain, and if can commit the time, you will have the all the proof that you need to convince people of the immorality of killing and eating animals. If you need someone to vouch for me, I'll give you the name and phone number of the vet who treated the birds I had, and who saw first hand, and benefitted from being able to communicate with my birds to find out what was wrong when they were sick. It made his job a lot easier because he was able to ask them what was wrong and where they hurt and they could tell him using me as a translator. I'm pretty sure that just about anyone can do it giving the correct training. I'll need to teach you the vocabulary. it's very different from any human language. They do things like layering sentences and words. But it's doable if you commit yourself to it. There will be a lot of hands on work to do to. Once you've learned the language you'll need to commit to speaking with the baby before it even hatches out. You'll also need to continuously talk to it in the modified language all day every day, without getting a reply until it's vocalization tract is mature. At that point it will be kind of like someone turned the lights on in a dark room. It will start communicating with you in full thoughts and it will start requesting things. It will also do a lot of talking just for the sake of socialization. At first it will be asking you a lot of questions which to you will seem mundane. It's just like little children do when they learn to talk, but without the terrible twos. The amazing thing is what the potential of these birds to learn complex concepts. If you want to be completely successful, you'll need to home school it just as you would a child which cannot use its hands and which cannot read. Waterfowl don't have opposable thumbs nor do they have binocular vision, but they have a huge capacity to remember, recall, and to manipulate facts, ideas, and data. If you stick with it, it will be able to do amazing things and if you spend the time, it will be right on grade level for a human child of the same age. Would you be interested in learning how it's done, or do you know a nyone who would? I don't want to die without passing along what I've learned, but I have only six years tops, and so far, no takers. How about it? want to give it a go?

[@Tobi806]

@@Chompchompyerded I wouldn't say that this is always the perfect way of helping people go vegan. Firstly you have to be someone who really enjoys cooking for others. On the other hand there are enough people who would really refuse getting cooked a vegan meal. Even in my family. And still at some point I did and I really put all the love in and created dishes that meat eaters would love. All the people always say that it is tasty and great but they don't form any connection to the suffering on their heads. I really think that having discussions like ed has them . Respectful and Empathetic will plant a seed. People will then go on and watch graphical content and that makes most of the time the switch. Still it is inspiring what you do

Once, before I became vegan, I was at my uncle's house with my Thanksgiving dinner laid out in front of me: turkey, stuffing, cranberry, mashed potatoes & gravy, yams, and I noticed my uncle had forgotten to serve me a liver, so I pointed out "I don't have a liver" and he replied "Yes you do. You'd be dead if you didn't."

this tells one a lot about what society deems 'intelligent'. people unfortunately miss out on vital parts on what makes a person truly intelligent. one could know how to manufacture a rocket and still think there's nothing wrong with eating children. at least in my opinion, intelligence is a full package with not only IQ but also EQ and overall the ability to empathize. empathy is what truly gives potential to one's intelligence. after all you need to bring yourself in the perspective of a whole new world from a whole new individual. it's obviously not that easy explained but still, to sum up my point: if one lacks even the ability to empathize on the most basic level they in no way qualify as 'intelligent'. but I guess the reality-disconnected hivemind will decide whether or not that is true - like it always does. 'do what is popular, not what is right' seems to be the internal slogan of the majority of humankind. 'ignore the uncomfortable, even if its obvious because everyone else does so, too'. 'pay hollow lip service and act as if you are a kind and empathic being even though you're not because image is everything.' I feel like most of those things are already happening automatically in people. because they don't even pay a drop of attention to actually important things and only care about themselves. this guy in the video is a prime example of this and I swear people would be surprised of how many people exist that are just like him. for example I live in a kind of 'ghetto city' and the majority of people my age here are like this dude. one half is exactly like him, the other half focusses more on the hollow lip service but their actions are essentially the same. at this point it only keeps reminding me of one quote: 'If human beings were shown what they’re really like, they’d either kill one another as vermin, or hang themselves.' - Aldous Huxley it just seems they can't even face reality anymore at this point. collectively they are at fault for destroying everything basically but they can't bear facing this. so they continue to lie to themselves, not even allowing them to apply the most basic logic. just repeat what others in their herd have said. without thinking. without empathizing. as if the whole universe only spins around them. inherent arrogance and narcissism. I also feel like after decades of superficiality and marketing lies, goverment lies, capitalism and the lowkey exploitation of half of the world, it feels like arrogance and narcissism became human traits through natural selection. I mean one has to ask themselves at one point what happens if responsible and kind-hearted people think trice if they should ever get children while in some way 'his kind' has no issue with pumping out several children - all of which of course get no actual education or are raised properly but instead are 'raised' by irresponsible parents and the internet. it happens all over the world. I guess I have to say this but to me it just seems obvious that most people literally chose to be evil. chose to be selfish. and this guy is just a prime example of this when it comes to the public videos. conversations like this are common though in my city. and I doubt my city is the only one. those arrogant and selfish hypocrites are everywhere and my guess is even that they already make up at least more than half of humanity - and I believe this is even optimistically viewed. my gut tells me that it's more like 70-80%. just my two cents. It's just frustrating and depressing when one knows the obvious truth since so many years and in terms of society nothign seems to have changed. people became just more arrogant and hostile. more intentionally misleading and opportunistic.

[@amarisfrede2]

@@JustinViola Makes me sad to think you have resigned. It reads as though you see the human kind as a hopeless species. Probably because you want to do the right thing, and thus inform yourself on what humans do wrong and how to do better. That can often give the impression that humans are terrible by nature. But they aren't. There are plenty of studies that show how kind and compassionate children are by default, and how many indiginous societies, that don't work with our capitalism, are about helping the group, by helping each individual. Capitalism forces us to do terrible things to ourselves and others, just to survive in a way we can see and understand. But nowadays so many people are able to educate themselves, see the error in our ways as a society and in themselves as individuals, and they make the changes they can. Ed is doing his part the way he can. He lives a vegan life and educates others. If all you could do is eat less animals (because you can't choose your food completely, if you still live at your parents for example), or use both sides of a paper to save trees, or do any other small thing, then you are already doing your part. Don't beat yourself up for not being perfect, and don't beat yourself up because many who could do way more still don't because they don't see the need. Just be a nice person. Be the best version you can be at the time, and never give up trying to improve. Then you are doing your part. Sending you much love! ☮🕊😘🌈❤🧡💛💚💙💜💗🤍🖤🤎🏳‍🌈🏳‍⚧🤗🕊☮
