I know you may not see this Ed, but I havr a question. Also im so greatful for what you do/promote. I am vegan, i grew up on a cattle ranch, i switched for health and i have studied plant base nutrition, its my career path when i leave the american navy. I find that sometimes the morality animal rights perspective can be harder to show/convince people with. I am wondering is there a reason that the majority of your debates are based on the animal suffering perspective and not as much the health and enviornmental perspective? I do think the animal perspective is very important, my question derives just out of curiousity. Thank you!

Hi Ed, Love what you're doing. did you know that for humans to have milk, cows have to give birth to infants? Most of the male calves must be slaughtered for the farm to maintain economically...

This is how cows used to get it as well. Now with all our chemical use such as herbicides and washing of food before eating it super well those bacteria die and just don't get eaten by us or cows.

[@d.rabbitwhite]

@@quinnxeni9052 They were annoying because they were not even listening to Ed answer every point they brought up. They kept saying it was a different world view. There is not a different world view when it is measurable with equipment, the physiological effect of emotive response to stress and pain, and to the effects of animal agriculture upon the environment. It is all measurable, quantifiable, and not truly justifiable just as history shows that neo liberalism is not justifiable and has indeed, damaged our society and our planet. (The subject of animal rights and neo liberalism are quite related, actually). There is nothing wrong with being a creationist. And though yes, it was dismissive, and perhaps not the most appropriate reaction, to assume that a creationist is less intelligent than one who is not, it is an understandable position when it is a stereotype due to visible examples and anecdotal examples of creationists also being closed minded, hurtful, and for having views based only upon a dogma rather than introspection or otherwise questioning. It is tiring to come up against that dogma. In my personal experience, with family, it feels like talking to a wall. It once took 3 hours for my mother to finally concede that contraception should be acceptable as a way to avoid pregnancy, because she just kept repeating dogmatic phraseology, wasn't Hearing my words, rather than even having a thoughtful conversation regarding her beliefs. Who has 3 hours with every person they speak with, to break through the dogma to the actual person's philosophical thoughts? I don't know how many videos of Ed's you've seen but he is very caring and patient, is present and listens to people. Yes, he has an agenda, I have an agenda, we do, and ours is to make much less suffering, and to heal the planet and to care for all of its inhabitants as they need in order to thrive.

[@cadkls]

@Bartender Plus designed is a charged word, I'm not convinced we were designed. You're also appealing to nature as inherently virtuous as a reason for me to accept your argument that we should be vegan on the grounds that we are built to eat both plants and meat. Nature is not inherently virtuous. Just because we have the ability to eat meat, that doesn't necessitate that we ought to do it. You're deriving an ought from an is. It's fallacious. This isn't good enough, we can live healthy long lives, longer, actually, by switching over to plant based alternatives. But even the health argument isn't enough to morally justify the exploitation, killing and even torture, of animals. Labelling my position as vegan logic does nothing to advance an actual argument and is merely an attempt at ridiculing the position to make it appear weaker than it really is, I suspect, deliberately as a way of easing your own conscience so you can continue to bend over backwards to justify the absolutely abhorrent way we treat animals for the sake of sensory pleasure. Evolutionarily speaking, it made sense that early humans required meat, our developing brains meant we needed a source of high calorie, high protein food to fuel our development. This makes sense in an environment where food is scarce and difficult to obtain. Foraging for plants and berries and nuts provided us with nowhere near the nutrition we required, however in the modern day with supermarkets and mass agriculture, we live in an enormously palatable and hyper calorie dense food market, calories and availability of the nutrition that we require are no longer a problem in developed nations, the issue of malnutrition is still an issue of course, one that we do have the ability to solve, unfortunately, nobody actually wants to solve the issue because nobody is prepared to do what is necessary to solve it, making all kinds of justifications for it. For example, humans produce enough food to feed the entire world numerous times over, but much of this food goes into producing animal feed, which is an inefficient process, given that it takes so much food and water to produce a kilogram of meat. Overall I can't see any reasonable justification for eating meat over plant based alternatives. Health based claims dont hold up to scrutiny, moral claims dont hold up to scrutiny, economic ones. It would be irrational of me to eat meat over plant based alternatives.

To be fair, that girl had a perfectly logical and respectful discussion with Ed though. Like Ed has pointed it out in multiple occasions when you are raised in a certain way your brain takes some things for granted and you make some logical leaps like the one you mention. Her reason for 'euthanizing' the animal was because she would no longer be able to feed it (she said so in the end).

They talk about stunning as if it is proven to render the animal unconscious and that they feel no pain but that has never been proven to be true in any study that stunning removes nociception or awareness, and you can see the videos of this happening, the animals are still clearly in pain. I emailed the guy who set up these guidelines for this at HSA and he wasn't able to provide any evidence either to defend their own words. They claim: "Slaughter can be humane if an animal is protected from avoidable excitement, pain or suffering. To achieve this, the animal must be effectively restrained and then stunned, rendering it insensible to pain, and finally bled rapidly and profusely to ensure death before recovery could occur." This statement is self-contradictory as, the pain is in fact avoidable, by not slaughtering animals.

And even if I’m the only one making that world a reality, it’s still a better world than where every single human, including me, chooses not to believe in their capacity to change and their capacity for good, and instead wearily accepts defeat without hope of a better world.

It's important to understand the topic very well. Not just understanding your own perspective, but understanding the perspective of those you are talking to. The trick to effective argumentation is understanding the road map between their perspective and yours, so that you can effectively navigate them along that path through discussion. Sometimes people will have strong emotional barriers and will actively resist accepting a particular point or points, which is totally normal, but hard to deal with in the moment. I think that is where arguing is most difficult.

If we should do this or that we should follow the market and do as it dictates and all welfare should be scrapped. There should not a be a single subsidy for anything. It should be the battle of who can afford it or not. Nature or human agency should destroy the unpractical and anything not protected or able to defend itself.

I also love how hard they’re arguing for dairy milk - it’s really not that great? Way better alternatives and even my Omni friends prefer Almond or Oat milk.

@@jen7549 Milk is amazing. Cream, butter and cheese come from it. So much French cuisine relies on milk products.

Kyn Chan Civilizations in the past have relied on human and animal sacrifice to their deity. As a society, many of us are glad that we’ve moved on from that. People of the past would defend living sacrifice just as you we may defend eating meat today. Just because it’s the world we grew up in doesn’t mean it’s the world that does what’s right.

I am impressed how you can have a similar conversation with different people again and again for years and years and still listen and curve questions relevant for the person in front of you and still have the patience to explain the same things in a friendly tone. Man with a cause. Well done.

If veganism is so great why does ed look emaciated and sick

[@malefitz6886]

It is so refreshing to see people on the internet calmly talking and exchanging their differing views, especially when he sat down with this girl from a dairy farm. Most channels are about gearing up controversy, calling out people, who have different opinions and being disrespectful to others. Ed is so different in his approach and I applaud him for that. PS: I'm not vegan!

[@kushalsharma9039]

Ed. You're an amazing human. The world needs more people like you. I wish I could meet you once in my life to thank you for all the hard work you put in !

[@madisoncoleman6357]

That guy and girl are walls. I was getting so heated watching, Ed has INCREDIBLE patience.

debating veganism is impossible because there are no points.

Edward Guant is a con man.

[@moniemoon.]

It's sad how that couple were denying facts all the time to try to justify their opinions as rational decisions, even though Ed told them that doing it doesn't make anything they are saying real. The worst part is that most people do exactly what they were doing.

[@anarchisttutor7423]

Debate technique: when your opponent is making a good response to your argument, quickly pivot to another aspect of the topic so you don't have to dwell on the discomfort or doubt your opponent created. The objective is preserving your positive self-image and lifestyle, not finding truth or making the world a better place.

We can't force people to change but we can always hold them accountable for their actions. Thank you for standing up for the animals always 🙏🏻
