[@brandonpanozzo86]

what really sucks is that we were raised that meat is healthy and now there is all kinds of false info out that says being vegan is unhealthy that sucks

[@mooninthemist3825]

Well, you can eat lots of lovely plant food and the occasional piece of meat. One doesn’t rule out the other. A lot of people nowadays have reduced their meat intake a lot due to being aware of their carbon footprint etc., you act like all people who eat meat eat it every day and don’t eat plants which is untrue

[@mooninthemist3825]

Also, the overpopulation of deer is a problem, especially here in the UK when we have no predators to prey on them. (Yes I’m all for the reintroduction of the lynx but that’s not gonna happen any time soon) so what do we do? If we don’t cull the deer then all our forests will reduce in size even further. We might as well eat the hundreds of thousands of deer that are already culled by the government every year (yes, that’s right).

[@experiencinglifeisthepurpose]

Humans ABSOLUTELY NEED animal products for their body to thrive! That is why there are thousands of "Why I am No Longer Vegan" Videos here on youtube. II will not sacrifice my own health because the ruling elite wants me to be weak or die off quicker for their depopulation agenda. It is so easy to debate a vegan: You just tell him that the statement that we can get all nutrition from plant products is a FILTHY LIE THAT YOU WILL NOT ACCEPT. While doing it you look very firmly into the soulless and drone-like eyes of the malnourished and weak vegan and you just let him feel that you will not be one of those sheeple that will accept his lies. It is your diet that gives you that inner stability, strength and knowing. Through your eyes with your gaze you send the mentally ill vegan a sign of inner confidence and strength that the vegan does not have and know in his life. Because of the vegan malnutrition (subconscious self hate) and because the vegan lost his purpose in life and therefore fell for a NWO religion/cult and depopulation agenda like veganism. You just exude the confidence of the raw carnivore from within and the vegan will instintivally understand that you would rather cut his throat open than to accept any of his filthy lies or pathetic attempts at moral shaming. You can be relaxed and chilled because that is the default feeling on the carnivore diet. No need for hate. Your calmness is the true alpha zen calmness of the human apex predator. You rightfully and with pride declare that you only eat animal products! Because it is the most nutritious food and you can afford it. That is how you debate a vegan! And this is the point where you have all your arguments and research ready. You have all the facts ready of why certain studies like the China study are complete nonsense etc. And we can happily debate for hours on why humans ABSOLUTELY AND POSITIVELY NEED ANIMAL PRODUCTS! Obviously, your arguments will not convince any vegan because a vegan is a follower of a religion. But the vegan will feel your inner unwavering strength and wisdom. He will feel that you are the last and very strong defense line for humanity. That you are not one of those drones that accepts the first lie. A truly worthy human being that does not care about pretending to care for climate change and any other directed agenda from above. You care about your body, soul and family being as healthy as it can be. The ultimate and true expression of self love. As opposed to the vegan's mentally unstable state that is also reflected in his Dr. Greggeresque frail body, infertility, depression and fake outward preocupation for bettering the world. When all true inner purpose is gone the only purpose you will find is the agenda driven fake purpse that a NWO religion like veganism can give you. Again: Type in "Why I am No Longer Vegan" here on youtube. Thousands of videos here on youtube and growing and growing by the day. If you don't accept the first huge lie there is nothing to debate. Yes, I will kill animals and have animals be killed because that is what is necessary for my human body thrive! Absolutely! Life feeds on life and I accept to be part of the circle of life! Being a raw carnivore for me is the highest form of self love. No bullshit new age self love bullshit concept that has been placed by the Illuminatis as a psy op. I love myself enough to give my body the truly best diet for my body to thrive and to never have an illness. Now, you can come at me with the made up CO2 story, any other controlled psy op or whatnot: I don't care because the human body needs animal products. And yes, I will absolutely place the my health, fertility and wellbeing of my body above any other agenda! Veganism is a great example of why you should never accept the first lie. The first lie is the foot in the door for terror to follow.

It's not a bad idea to get a blood test done before you start, so you have a reference point to start with, and then for your first 2 or 3 years get an annual blood test to make sure it's all on track. An initial blood test might also reveal some potential deficiencies, and if that should happen, you will be confident that it wasn't the vegan diet. Every else is quite easily obtained through a balanced diet. Such as that mentioned at PCRM.org or Dr. Greger's Daily Dozen. Best of luck!

How do ya “painlessly kill a deer” by empaling ones body with an arrow?

[@Zalamandar]

@Michael Gamble A quick bit of research from the opinions of a few different hunters discussing shots that go through the heart and/or both lungs has given me the general consensus that deer can run up to 100 yards away after a well-placed shot using a bullet or a bolt, and that they can take roughly 5-10 seconds to actually die on the average kill. Some fall where they were shot, some have been shown to actually survive what was expected to be a well-placed shot through the heart. A lot of these discussions were because hunters were surprised how far deer would run after being shot and were annoyed they had to track the body to find it. I'm not sure about you, but none of this sounds instantaneous to me. Unless you're thinking about guns in video games and movies where actors/characters unrealistically die on the spot as soon as they're shot?

[@crazymusicchick]

You can painlessly kill a cat or dog when they are put down because they are suffering from cancer or something you can do the same when hunting, but with a bullet. even humans on death row are killed quickly and painlessly

[@Vegan-dm1xx]

You don’t win friends with salad when an is euthanized they are give a shot not an arrow shot into their body. How painful do you think this would be done to you? Bullets and arrows while hunting are not always kill shots.

[@Vegan-dm1xx]

You don’t win friends with salad and humans on death row have done something so badly to be ruled death as their punishment. What have the animals done?

[@therandeydenyah]

If you happen to be in the area, come to Purdue University in Indiana! We have an Ag school and I’ve hear many professors from here speak up for animal agriculture in podcasts etc and it would really be cool to get a vegan’s perspective here

[@jaymakay]

Yes! Thank you Ed! I get the argument about needing to hunt deer to control the population and I love the way you countered that argument. I've always said that nature has a way of naturally balancing itself when we leave it alone. Humans have only been on Earth for a short amount of time when compared to other animals and even plants. Neither of which have ever needed our help controlling their populations. So I love what you had to say about it. I'm going to have to remember it the next time it's brought up.

[@livmilesparanormalromanceb6891]

Right! Populations naturally crash and stabilize, we don't need to step in.

[@mooninthemist3825]

Liv Miles that statement is ignorant. Here in the UK we have no natural predators to our deer. So if we don’t ‘step in’ and cull them then after many years ALL our forests would be gone. That’s what deer do, they graze saplings. You can’t make a claim when you understand nothing about ecology. It is humankind’s fault that a lot of predators are gone or in declining populations however we can’t just step away until we have restored those populations to a sustainable state first

[@jaymakay]

@Molson Muscle That's also very true! I didn't think about that either! Good point

[@livmilesparanormalromanceb6891]

@@mooninthemist3825 Then why don't we work on restoring those populations of natural predators? It seems like resorting to just killing more animals is a poor solution. Also, why can't I make an ignorant claim in a youtube comment section? If I don't, no one will correct me, and I won't learn anything.

[@jaymakay]

[@SirolfUpaw]

@Colleen De koning What he's good at is debating animal welfare, no? So I don't see how it is unrelated and how it is not something Ed would be capable of discussing!

Overfishing, millions of sharks killed by man and the resulting imbalance of species in our oceans.

And just two weeks back, as mentioned by Michele, he did a piece on fisheries. He does not only cover agriculture! There is no obsession here, I was simply stating a point of interest. I don't really understand why this gets you so riled up. I think we are on the same team!

[@psikakuniklo1949]

Highly doubt prey overpopulation is actually an issue and not just entirely propaganda. Prey animals arenèt dumb, for example deers have purposeful miscarriages if there arenèt sufficient resources. Please educate yourself before suggesting innocent creatures get torn to shreds and eaten alive by predators. Thatès a very cruel way to deal with overpopulation _if_ it was an issue.
