Ever heard of the term "Omnivorous". We were never Carnivores as you ask everyone @EarthlingED. If you had some brain or educated you would have known about the history of human evolution. Yes, prehistoric human beings had teeth like carnivores animals cause they used to consume raw meat. After they learned to cook meat in fire that's when their teeth started to change. Later teeth evolved more as they started to cook their meat. What a freaking idiot do you use your hand to plough your fields? As a natural herbivore you could easily be able to chew raw grass and take out grains from crops just by chewing or using your hand. Why do you use tools for that?

[@nickduvall292]

Ed, nature evolved humans to have opposable thumbs so we can grab things. We also evolved a large brain with a very well developed pre frontal cortex so we can think rationally. Which led to us making tools to build shelters and kill animals if needed. I’m a firm believer that ancient humans ate a 70-90% plant based diet, but if you truly cared about the planet and you weren’t just propping yourself up on a moral high horse you would only eat fruit. Plants have the same biology as animals and as humans, they fight for survival just like we do. Eating fruit keeps you from killing the entire plant for food and you can also deposit the seed somewhere else so more fruit can grow. A plant based diet is difficult to sustain your health over long periods of time, don’t mess up people’s health with bad advice thinking you’re a virtuous human.

"Vegan plants" So there is such thing as meat plants? What?? 😃 Also he's a farmer, he said its expensive but he is the producer of these expensive products therefore will be making higher profit from it. He complains that its worth a fortune, this will only affect him positively as his income will raise. As they are expensive, if no one buys his crops, he can lower his price and many people will want to buy as he said they are expensive therefore his lower prices will attract more customers also raising his income. Growing crops and "Vegan plants" is not only better for the animals and environment but also for his personal gain wich he does not realise. Hopefully he will soon acknowledge the progression of society and the world, noticing the increase of vegans and placing himself in a position better for himself and the environment. :)

Slaves who tried to run away were therefore viewed as having a mental disorder. Those in favour of slavery were often simply unable (or unwilling) to understand why African people did not want to be enslaved.

@@Pstkolade from a vegan perspective that's a tough one mate and I think a good question that warrants thinking about. I don't think many vegans manage to avoid medications that are tested on animals, but we do avoid things that we purchase such as cleaning products and cosmetics that we know were tested on animals. With regards to medicine we can only focus on changing what is happenING rather than what has happenED. This means not turning down life saving medicine in the present but campaigning for more ethical ways of testing medication in the present that doesn't exploit people or non human animals and cause unnecessary suffering. I think the main focus should be on meat dairy and eggs, as well as the fishing industry and fur/leather. Things like this are more likely to improve as we stop viewing animals as something we have dominion over, something to extract a product from and something to use.

[@suicune2001]

@@Pstkolade We don't need to do that anymore. We have the human genome mapped out. We can run simulations. In fact, scientists even create little games for the average person to play to help develop new vaccines. One game is called "Foldit". It was used to help create vaccinations for COVID-19. It's completely free to download and play and the data collected get used in real life. Besides, ALL animal testing has to go to human testing since it turns out we're not dogs or rats or pigs. Even stuff done on chimpanzees might not work for us. Cut out the middle man. I could also make the argument that we're missing out on medicines because we're testing on animals first. Imagine all the foods that are toxic to dogs but perfectly healthy to us. If we tested food on dogs then we wouldn't be eating grapes/raisins, avocados, coffee or teas, chocolate, or salt. It's impossible to know how many medicines were tested on an animal and the animal died so therefore we threw it out as a possibility. I also wonder how many were tested on animals, the animal died, and was tested on humans anyway.

[@BlankestKnight]

@@liamnicholson6479 And just because someone goes against the grain and are fighting for something doesn't mean they're objectively correct either. Think about the prohibition movement. My core belief is that all creatures on this planet consume life in some form. Whether an animal is more or less intelligent doesn't change that fact. I personally don't see a difference between a lion eating a gazelle and a human eating a gazelle. I don't think the gazelle would see a difference either. It's a prey animal and that is its ultimate fate. Humans are the ones that choose to add right or wrong to that action. An action that by its nature may very well be amoral. Morality in itself may very well not exist, it could be an entirely human-based concept that we created in an attempt to add order and fairness to a lawless universe. Since I see things this way there is no reason for someone like myself to go against the grain on someone I don't feel strongly about. I'm all for improving factory farming and animal conditions because we can but not necessarily because I feel like we as humans are obligated to do so. I think improved conditions would improve the quality of the food which in turn would help with the nutritional issues many Americans suffer from by eating too much processed food like McDonalds. I can't say for sure that I think everyone should go plant-based since I don't know for a fact if that is the ideal diet for a human, but I think it's hard to go wrong with a well-balanced omnivorous diet and overconsumption is an issue in the first world when it comes to a lot of things.

Meat tastes great and gives plenty of good things, most vegans are sensitive little people and have to much of a fruit and plant based diet so they get way to much sugar.

Yes you can, it’s called a respectful kill. Any one who’s ever killed an animal would know. For example the native Americans would bless the animals they kill and use every part of their body for their clothes, food, homes, and tools. The reason he had no answer was probably Bc he was thinking the same thing I was when he said that... that this dumbass has no fucking clue what he’s talking ab at all

[@kerrymillar1267]

Mx racer you have no way of knowing what this man was thinking. The term respectful kill is a paradox. You can’t respect a healthy animal and take its life. It does not want to die. As for the Native American culture. They were completely in tune with nature taking only what they needed to, to survive and gave prayers of gratitude for the animals sacrifice. They had limited options for food and used the animals skin and bones too. You absolutely cannot compare this to the artificial setting of a farm. Where animals are never permitted the joy of freedom and natural behaviour. Their destiny is determined from before birth. Their life is boredom, suffering and despair. It’s an insult to the Native American culture as well as to animals to compare their way of life to this aberration.

[@DiamondSquidy]

kerry millar first of all I can greatly think of what he was thinking I’m from Texas I grew up on a ranch and know the thought process of a rancher/farmer. And no it is not a paradox it is very easily explained if you kill something quickly and not put it through pain it is respectful clean and quick where as is you purposefully let it suffer in pain and misery than it’s disrespectful you’ve obviously never killed an animal before so don’t even argue that Bc you have no experience to argue with. And on my grandpas ranch we don’t kill the cows we raise them to be sent off and every part of their body is used their meat for food their skin for clothes and leather products their bones for whatever use someone may have for them there is very little that gets thrown out. Also you seem to be getting a slaughter house mixed with a farm. Bc on our ranch we have 60 acres of land for the cattle to walk and graze on they aren’t kept im a small cage and tortured there are signs when an animal is depressed like when it doesn’t eat ect and these cows show no signs of this at all they live their life as if they weren’t kept in a 60 acre cage the same things animals do in the wild such as fighting for mates, grazing, playing with young, ect they do in their 60 acre confinement so you can’t tell me that they aren’t joyful and the cows honestly probably don’t even know that they are in a very large fenced in are Bc it’s a natural area of which they only keep to a specific spot of by choice and rarely ever get close to the outer fence with the exception of the fence that separates the 60 acre area for the cattle and the house and home grown garden. So please instead of believing the nonsense that people like this guy on this video tell you who have no experience at all with animals and start listening to people who actually know what their talking about okay. Literally anything you tell me I can disprove and that’s Bc every argument that the vegan movement uses is a bunch of bull shit made by one group of people with no experience what so ever. In my life I’ve only had one person who was vegan who actually ever made a fair point in which I give him props to and the reason is Bc he knew animals he knew how a farm works and he knew what he was talking ab and he is also one of my closest friends I don’t ridicule him for choosing greens and he doesn’t ridicule me for liking meat in fact he comes to my BBQ’s and I make sure to make him something vegan that he’ll eat. There’s a difference between being vegan and a blind idiot who brings up the same argument time after time after time no matter how many times they’ve been proven wrong and ridiculing them for their choice. It’s ridiculous honestly. Also if every person in the world were to go vegan there would be starvation Bc you can’t get as much calories from greens as meat it just doesn’t work like that when there’s billions of people to feed. Our bodies were made to have meat it affects our bodies in a negative way it’s the circle of life survival of the fittest were able to kill them therefore eat them that’s the way the world works predator prey that’s it.

[@DiamondSquidy]

[@kerrymillar1267]

Mx racer thanks for your reply. I have been vegetarian for 20 years and newly vegan. Since going vegan I don’t need my asthma inhaler and an annoying pain in my hip has gone away. I’m now watching my meat eating peers get sick now I’ve hit 40. You’re asking me to listen to your experience. Here’s mine, half my life vegetarian and I don’t feel any older than I did at 20, truly. You do not need meat to be healthy that is a lie. I do not follow Ed blindly. I am led by scientific fact, my own conscience and experience. Your ranch sounds nice and I’m sure you’re right that the animals there enjoy their life. Unfortunately there is not enough land on planet earth to keep animals this way. The fact is only a very small percentage of the animals we consume come from farms such as these. Most are raised in deplorable conditions. I also don’t agree that we can respectfully kill another being. That is my opinion and you will not sway it. Animals want to live. No matter how quickly they are killed they value their life. I’m afraid you are also wrong about the limited arguments we vegans have. 1) animal welfare 2) health, “read how not to die” if you want to really educate yourself and not regurgitate the same tired arguments meat eaters use. 3) The planet. The amount of grain and land used to keep animals to feed humans is key in the degradation of planet earth. 4) Covid-19 has come out of our mistreatment of animals. Many other diseases too.

@Rickie j reflect on it

[@user-iu4vz5ry5q]

@Rickie j I suggest you to watch his video in which he gave away vegan fish and chips for free while discussing veganism with the customers. he also gives them educational flyers. he does educate a wide range of people if you look at his social media. also talking to random people on the streets and delivering speeches is a highly effective way of getting people to think about this topic. so I think he does quiet well in raising awareness.

[@user-iu4vz5ry5q]

@Rickie j additionally being somewhat provocative will rather make you think about what you've being confronted on, don't you think? I see your point though, I used to not watch him bc of the provocative titles and I had the same view as you do. after watching a video I realized that this is used as a way of getting non vegans to be more likely to click on the video, especially if they have a negative view on veganism. this is how most youtubers do it, he does it for a good cause.

[@user-iu4vz5ry5q]

@Rickie j cool that you did that. if you watched Eds other videos though you'd see that he's very chill baut the topic and open to a discussion and diverse opinions.. in his Yale Videos e. g.

[@impulseexility5344]

Bro if you don’t wanna eat an animal don’t. Quit telling other people what they can and can’t eat

thanks to these videos i only have one meat meal a week, im new to being a vegan it wont take me long to be 100% :) god bless

No ThisIsPatrick okay dude i work on a cattle ranch the animals out there eat better than me get medication and vaccines to keep them healthy and plus i work on a real ranch not some industrialized shit eating place and where i work wild animals flourish hell even the endangered Florida panther lives on the ranch i work on so i think ranches like mine protect life and let wild life flourish and we dont got out and destroy the land either we take care of it and nurture it and the majority of the cattle ranches around the U.S. are opened ranged where the cows roam free eat grass and are fed by us everyday these animals live good damn lives and taken well care of

[@fishswimminginthesea3892]

I don’t think this KZbin program have the right to criticize farmers when they base their living on it. Unless people who criticize farmers can subsidize them to get a crop field or farm on the same scale of their farms, they have no right to criticize them. It makes me disgusted when they make it sound like the farmers don’t lose anything if they change their business.

To vegans from a meat-eater: Stop arguing for why we shouldn't eat animals, it's obviously wrong. It takes alot of work to be a vegan and we make a judgement call that it's not worth our time and effort to do that. Spend your time making it easier to be vegan and maybe you'll get somewhere

Well, here is a single man who has claimed to love animals for years and was just heartbroken after seeing Ed's video of the slaughterhouse gas chambers (not the first video of its kind I've seen, of course)... and as of yesterday, I had pork for dinner. I've been struggling with these ideas for a long time and the more I venture into the reality of animal treatment around the world, the bigger of a hypocrite I feel like. For someone who loves the taste of meat, I can no longer find a single good excuse to let this horror show go on with my demand of supply. There's simply no argument to be made anymore. It's just a shame I'm 30 years too late.
