Ed, I really admire your ability to talk to people without offending them, which is extraordinarily difficult when it comes to veganism. You and James are doing incredible things 👍
Joey does great work as well, but personally I find James and Ed's approach to be more effective - they really listen to who they're speaking with
Peace Love I was just going to say that 🌱🌱
They are offensive. They ask people all the time if they have no problem being immoral. Who's right is it to tell people they're being immoral for eating meat?
@@werandom8216 hes just asking questions.
@@wogehtslangbro Questions can be offensive mate
That couple is so open-minded, it makes me incredibly happy! I love the way you talk to people, it's fascinating!
Seems like the couple was practically waiting for someone to tell them about veganism, they seemed very eager to go vegan.
+angry vegan they were lovely people :)
They were "ripe for the picking" to use a frugivorous expression ;)
they were super nice!
Emilia Arya yeah, proud of them!
Emilia Arya (fellow Clevelanders too lol)
The first two dudes are as solid as rocks. You can't get anything through to them and the conversation is incredibly exhausting to listen to. They just don't even bother questioning anything 🙄
The guy who works out seems more open minded. Not the chubby guy, he’s all in with the meat and dairy.
That’s german for you xD
(speaking as a german)
Also it’s most likely they would only change if most people around them did, and if there was less availability for meat and such
One day that couple will become vegan. Thanks for planting the seed!
It's really interesting to watch the body language of the people on these videos. Once they realise that there is no moral justification for eating meat, the are clearly uncomfortable - and giving off all the signs of it in their body language. Thanks for the work you do Ed.
I was gonna say this!!!
Sooooo True
I come from a German family of butchers; I worked in meat plants for years. My family tree has been hacked into decline because of this ridiculous loyalty to sausage eating. Amazing work Ed; your energetic good will, eloquence and decency is awesome to behold!
Als ob digga (Ich esse keine Wurst obviously aber 💀💀)
How do you stay calm??? Gosh I can't even have a vegan conversation with my parents because they make my blood boil. Maybe they just know how to get under my skin 😂
The couple that you interviewed were amazing! So open minded and willing to look at things differently as well as taking it a step further to look at the information and videos that you've mentioned.
"If We Can Live Happy Healthy Lives Without Harming Others, Why Wouldn't We?" ❤️
They were "ripe for the picking" to use a frugivorous expression ;)
It's impossible to live without harming others.
Dorsey Horsey, INTENTIONALLY hurting others.
Reverend Eslam yeah? Even then that is still quite impossible.
L B, I don't need you to attempt to tell me what Veganism is because I've had a great understanding for a long time of what it is. If you are that triggered by my statements, then that's on you. I still don't change my mind over it.
We have a new collegue who constantly mocks me because I am vegan and no matter which arguments I bring against meat, he will just say `but its tasty :P ` `but I love meat :D` . I wish I had your patience when it comes to dealing with stubborn meat eaters.
Have you tried throwing him a tough question like the ones Ed uses? Maybe if you asked him in front of others next time he says "its tasty", "do you value your taste over an animals life?" (say in a nice way) he will think twice about it from now because he is now put in a position of being perceived as immoral in front of everyone, therefore he will stop being a pain in the ass. Sometimes you just gotta bring out the big guns lol
Vegan NonDuality Perhaps, rather than a question, simply saying"I value other creatures' lives over my own fleeting taste experiences" would reduce the risk of getting a fatuous answer. Someone who taunts like that is likely to not care that they happily pay others to abuse animals for their entertainment. It's their form of bravado. I'd rather ask them what painful experience from their past are they trying to overcome by being obnoxious to other people.
Anyway, we have many vegan options that taste similar or better than meat, dairy and egg options. So the taste argument fails.
pineapplee unfortunately some people just like to troll and argument against others as an easy way to suppress their cognitive dissonance. Doesn't sound like a person you could convince right now.
If it is bothering you (as it would me), why not politely say to him "Look, your mocking and teasing about my veganism is upsetting me, and I would like you to please stop". If he doesn't agree to this, and/or he continues to mock and/or tease you about it, why not report this to your supervisor.
That couple was so great and they seemed so open minded! I really hope they think about what they eat and realize how good veganism can be!
They were "ripe for the picking" to use a frugivorous expression ;)
The guy, especially, seemed refreshingly non-delusional.
"Do you value taste over life?" That is the question that I asked my self this week after 32 years being vegetarian and now finally I am vegan!
Thank you Ed xx
Being a German myself I feel really ashamed of those two guys!
They don't even consider educating themselves when someone gives them a really good opportunity to do so!
Geht mir genauso 😅 aber vielleicht hat die Unterhaltung ja ein bisschen etwas bewirkt:)
BELLA XOXO Danke für den Kommentar , du sprichst mir aus der Seele:D ich denke selbst als ich noch der indoktrinierte carnist war wäre ich bei dieser Unterhaltung hellhörig geworden und hätte sofort erkannt was aus meiner Perspektive das einzig richtige ist.
Benedikt K. Durch andere Vegetarier & Veganer, durch Videos oder andere Beiträge wurden die meisten glaube ich auch erst auf das ganze Thema aufmerksam. (Zumindest war das bei mir so)
BELLA XOXO ich denke damit hast du recht & diese Tatsache sollte man eigentlich umso mehr zum Anlass nehmen selbst auf die Menschen zuzugehen bzw. über das ganze zu sprechen , auch wenn es vielleicht nicht gerade angenehm für einen selbst ist .Bei mir war es ein Fernseh-beitrag zu einer Art ' kill and grill' -farm mit exotischen Tieren der mich hat erkennen lassen , dass bei mir eine kognitive dissonanz besteht .Der Kanal 'Der Artgenosse' hat einiges zum Umschwung zur gänzlich veganen Lebensweise beigetragen :)
wir bräuchten sone Aktionen hier auch fürs deutsche RUclips!!
I love the way you talk to people
Cleveland, Ohio?!?!? I'm from the Cleveland area and let me tell you, there are a TON of vegan options here! Even a multiple fully vegan restaurants! The lifestyle is growing here for sure and it's great to see. Sooo happy you reached those two ☺️
+Alexandra Krim good to know! Thank you :)
Hi Jake Paul
Can you say Cleveland Vegan.........Yum!!! Also Helio Terra makes the best grill cheese !!!
And there are loads of vegan recipes on line and so many cook books. Honestly it can be a little overwhelming.
I can only talk about this kind of topics with an open minded people and I really admire the fact that you do it with ignorants in such a calm way
Not really ignorant but very hardened egos/cultural beliefs. Some of the most open minded people are the most stubborn when it comes to veganism
When most people say they love animals, they mean on their plate.
Yeah because we can build a emotional relationship to fungi and roots, great point really lolz
When most people say they love animals, they only mean animals that don't count as food (in a standard western diet.)
Luise F it's not the same as animals
Thank you for supporting veganism by watching and commenting.
Elisa Benaggoune that’s what I said, it was sarcasm
Animals ARE speaking. We just aren't listening.
"Nature is talking to us. This is not a metaphor." - Terence McKenna. (animals are nature, as are humans)
TheFettuck, led samsung, Plants do die yes, but plants do not have self awareness. Animals, like us, have this subjective experience of life of being a self in the universe experiencing emotions and love as we explore this universe we are in. It does not matter if parts of our bodies cells die, there is zero evidence that the physical body gives rise to consciousness. This is the mind-body duality problem. You can chop off all the limbs off an animal and reduce its cell count by half but he/she will still have 100% of the same internal subjective self aware experience like we do.
led samsung
Plants do not have a nervous system and no brain. Their intelligence is limited to simply responding to external stimuli. Again, this does not mean sentience. It is like how the cells of our skin respond to sunlight by producing melanoma. This does not mean sentience. It is pretty much a scientific consensus that plants do not have sentience. They do not subjectively experience life as an "I" or "me" like animals do.
led samsung
Them moving towards sunlight is embedded in them just like cells producing melanoma. It's simply a reaction. There is no proof of sentience and ability to suffer for plants. There is obvious proof for animals.
Fine you win, plants are sentient. You do realize that veganism is STILL the answer right? If you don't watch my video on plants feeling pain
For a better world
That couple seemed really sweet and open minded. I hope they go vegan
Imagine having such an intelligent, positive, charming and warm-hearted guy like Ed in your life ... What a dream
I'm German and feel a bit ashamed of the German guy on the left...he could have been more open-minded and I hope he's going to question his choices and actually think about this conversation. But I got to say you're so respectful and calm, I thank you so much for the spread of awareness and the fact that you're making people question their food choices with logic and empathy. The best way to have an actual impact!
The american couple were fantastic, really open minded and honest.
Gar Kiil I
I love how you are really nice to the people, but also really harsh
Well done, Ed! I'm also feeling proud of my fellow Midwesterners for being kind and having an open mind.
You're a true hero Ed. Keep up with this awareness. With you, James and Joey (the three amigos) on the case, it's only a matter of time before the blinded are finally lead into the light. #GOVEGAN 🌱🌱🌱🌱
Call me Bob 👍🏻
#EatMoreMeat
Love them all
I just became vegan a month ago and watching this video and what these responses used to be so relatable to me. But we don’t NEED meat to survive. I feel 100 times better than I used to. I’m not sick as much, I have more energy. I wish everyone could feel how I feel today. I love being vegan. I love the recipes I can create being vegan. I love the work you are doing on this channel! You will be the change in this world! ❤️
Ashley Marsh yes he will ♥️
At times it comes off like your a non vegan trying to figure out if you should go vegan by asking other people. It's such a clever mind game lol
Call me Bob (Sorry for my bad English)
I didn't pay attention in school
Socratic method, can't beat it
No vegan recipes ? The internet ?
What is that?
I do wish that some people here would be a little kinder about others that struggle to make/maintain eye contact.
Anyway, great interviews as usual.
Ohh God, how can you be so kind, how? I like that soo much
I am so grateful that you so politely talk to your opponents and step by step leading them to the goal, letting them make their own conclusions and not to yell at them with foam at the mouth, as do some individuals.. which is why many people think we are like that.. but anyway, Thank you for all you do! 💚And hello from Russia))
and sorry for mistakes
I love your cool and logical approach.
The Ethical Marshmallow I really like your username.
That Asian guy is fascinating to watch, such unusual mannerisms he's like a cartoon character haha. Seems like he could go vegan one day. Good work ed.
lol yeah he reminds me of a cartoon character too lol. His body positioning is funny
I don't know if I would consider it that way neccesarily, but I thought it was kind of rude that he didn't look at the person he was talking too.
I think he was trying to face the camera. Also, sometimes it's easier to sort your thoughts when you look away. I thought he was very likeable and he seemed open to the idea of veganism. :)
i have a feeling English might not be his native language.
Unfortunately, I highly doubt that the Filipino gentleman in question will change his diet one iota. I reside in the Philippines and vegans such as I are rarer than hen's teeth. :-(
Best interview ever seen. Very interesting questions. Very interesting answers and very interesting people you talked to.
I actually realized I dont want to harm animals anymore when I was in Spain with my husbands family and they offered us meat from their farm and I was degusted because I knew where that meat and eggs came from. So it became clear to me to become vegan. Actually it is so so obvious.
"Amazing Grace - I was blind but now I see "
You're doing such a great job Ed!
You make people question their actions while being kind and understanding.
Keep up the good work!
Animal products should be required to include photos of the animal and the process it went through
ed's the man
The couple was so lovely and sweet
I think you're the best vegan activist there is) Thank u!
Aw, when they reject the video links you want to give them ;_;
Alex S. They want to remain ignorant. I know a LOT of people like that. :(
+Lisa M. For the ignorant.
Some people will do whatever it takes to avoid things that can potentially shatter their beliefs
Alex S. So truuue
His logic is flawless! Well done!
Ed I'm a newly subbed. I really admire your approach when speaking with people. Really inspiring, 🌱🌱🌱
You're still my hero. I love watching these because they really help me in my own conversations with people re how to approach the conversations and which questions to pose to people
I love the way you make people really stop and think. You are planting seeds of hope Ed. Good job!!
I really admire you Ed!!! You are so kind and have a lot of patient!!
I can definitely see the couple going vegan.
Awww I live in Michigan, right above the guy and girl! They were so friendly and sweet! I bet that was refreshing to meet more open minded people. Forever wishing you'd would come to Michigan, lol 💖
brilliant! as usual. thank you Ed :)
You are one of the people that I adore. Thank you so much for doing this. You are an amazing human being!!! So much patience!
You're amazing. I don't know how you keep your composure with some of these people. Keep it up Ed!!
Great video, Ed....I've definitely learned from your methods, and and have been using them...
I loved the couple, so honest and open minded :))
Ed has been part of the reason I’m a vegan. Thank u so much. Amazing human being
All the people interviewed are kind people, very open minded and very truthful in their responses. Respect.
Awesome!!! You just handle yourself SO well!!!!
The best way... conversations and education... no attacks so noone needs to get defensive... love it!
this is a brilliant way to bring exposure to this issue
You are so good with people Vegan Jesus, great job. I like that you let people speak and that you don't attack or get aggressive when they say stupid things.💛
This is honestly hilarious keep up the good work!!
With your kind and calm nature you will get so much further educating people and inspiring people then some of your fellow vegan warriors eg, Joey, he's to intense I personally wouldn't want to chat to him.
Keep up the good work Ed.🌎🐾🌱
proud to be one of your patreons excellent job as per usual ed :)
The Asian guy is lovely. I think his mindset could easily shift in the next few years.
Very well educated and conversed to get people to think about where,what most people think food is, comes from.
4:18 that girl in the back is so cute! Her dress is so pretty 😍
' ...a slight double standard '.
Delicious diplomacy Ed ! Great viewing of your Socratic approach,as ever.. :)
Einfach nur peinlich meine Landsleute... :-( Leugnen noch nicht mal die fehlende Logik ihres Handelns und wollen trotzdem nichts dran ändern.
Chauvinisten. Wissen, dass man Schaden anrichtet und es trotzdem tun, weil man weiß, dass man es kann....
Leider eine gerade unter uns Männern besonders verbreitete Haltung. Hat auch einiges mit der Rollenerwartung an Männer zu tun, dass sie "hart" und nicht einfühlsam rüber kommen sollen.
Genau!!!! Kann man ja gar nicht glauben
@@loonatic1011 genau.. :/
So much patience and empathy from Ed! Very good interviewer! You make people THINK 🤔
Most of people make so many different excuses just to eat meat. They such liars and they don't see how they lie to themselves
I wouldn't say most are lying. They are just completely unaware of why they think the way they do and why it is illogical. I always like to tell people that veganism is the grand daddy of cultural programmings powers. When you go vegan after having the epiphany of "what the fu** are we doing eating meat?"
I love the way you talk to people and tolerate their sometimes stupid comments. What you do is amazing. I have been a vegetarian for 8 years and vegan for 5 months and I am learning so much just from your videos. Thanks!
It's extremely interesting how once people really think about meat consumption and the morals of it they start saying 'they' instead of 'we' out of guilt
You are amazing at what you do Ed!
Fantastic ! Please english captions so more people can follow the dialogs ! Of course best is translations but maybe it is a lot to ask.Thanks.
YOU ARE A HERO!!! you inspire me everyday
I love how you are very calm and composed and challenge peoples ideas of the world like this. A question you could include sometime:
Would you / humans kill animals if animals could speak and beg for their lives?
You are amazing, Ed!
Absolutely great work!!!
The German guy on the left was NOT having it 😂 I hope that this conversation will stick with him anyways.
Hey there! I'd love to know what documentaries you recommended to that couple:)
Thank you Ed! The power of suggestion done in a positive way.
Good on ya, Ed, you rock! You are the carnist whisperer. I think of interesting questions while watching you ask questions and getting the feedback, such as: If people eat animals because they are raised that way, I would love to know what things they can list that they were raised on that they decided were wrong and they rebelled against? Why did they rebel? Also, can they think of a person or other entity possibly being superior to them like someone with a higher IQ or more power socially, would they be okay with being eaten by that person? Also it is nice to see people being honest about what they think in the moment, they are brave to be interviewed. They are processing.
A humble and servant leader earns the greatest following.
The Asian dude didn't even want to look you in the eye when talking to you. I think that says a lot.
tauliina i think that has more to do with his current personality, not the topic of conversation.. in other words; awkward is awkward anywhere not just here
Theoctopus Thoughts Yes, it's possibly a cultural thing or a familial thing. There are loads of people who won't look other people in the eye and maintain eye contact because they consider it too direct, aggressive or rude. It's possible that the chap found Ed's manner intimidating.
JE Hoyes it's also possible that looking away helps him focus/think better.. some people get really distracted when they involuntarily read body language, and begin reflecting on it..
the world can be quite over stimulating if you pay wicked attention!
LOL. He's Filipino.
Not looking in the eye is a sign of respect it some culture.
Love the interviews! Thank you!
Wauw. Really. These are the most amazing discussions that i've ever seen. I learn a lot from this and feel ready to do the same as Ed!
I really enjoy watching you talk to people. It's quite amazing the patience and you have and the understanding you seem to convey. like...WOW. I've been following you on FB and IG for some time but havent seen your channel til today. Watched 10 vids. should probably go do something like away from a screen now. but seriously, well done, Ed!
thank you !! ED !!
"I think it's every person's choice to hire someone...to kill someone else"
WOAAAH
Watching this right before our Earthlings Experience in downtown Pittsburgh. Thanks for the inspiration to keep going, Ed!
You are a hero and such an inspiration! I wish I could meet you in person some day :)
Thank you for attending the Vegfest in Dublin and sharing your knowledge, you have inspired a generation of people. Your words come from your heart and you make people think about what is wrong with out World. We as humans treat animals so badly. We have to realise we are all connected and we shouldn't be torturing and murdering animals. We also have no right to take their habitat away, we should never buy anything containing Palm fat/oil, the Sumatra Jungle is being destroyed, Orangutans have no voice, we have to speak for them (this is for the Elephant and the tiger of the Sumatra jungle too). Thank you for being the voice of the innocent, your future is going to be a magnificent journey.
Your interviews are so awesome. Your questions are on point and they really see their double standards etc.
it's strange that people always have an opinion on something without even having studied it first. Why not answer with I don't know. Is the human race really lost?
Those german guys are what a german vegan like me is dealing with constantly. Thanks for helping me out with these two tho, I really appreciate it c:
The guy who said he couldn't eat the animals he saw slaughtered really resonated with me. Reminded me of the quote that if slaughterhouses had glass walls, the world would be vegan.
Your patience is killing me, Ed! This is so effective. You made them verbalize all the contradictions we live with themselves. They won't forget it anymore.
I'm from the Cleveland Ohio area like the one couple and have been vegan for 6 years and vegetarian for 9 years before that and I have no difficulties being vegan. Grocery stores have all the vegan food you could ask for in them because they all have a produce section along with dried beans, rice, pasta and canned foods like tomatoes and beans as well as frozen fruits and vegetables. Most now even has some of the vegan convenience food like plant based milks and veggie burgers, etc.
True I can't just walk into any random restaurant and trust that there will be things specifically vegan on the menu that I can eat. But often I can use the menu as a starting point and doing a little improv jazz with a bit from this dish, a sauce from another, with some vegetables from a third and come up with something that is quite tasty. I have been out with a group at a nicer restaurant and asked if the chef could do something for me that was vegan. Turns out the chef was herself vegan and made me the most amazing dish that has the rest of the table more than a little jealous (think I heard something wispered about a vegan conspiracy :-). And there are a growing number of restaurants where there are indeed fully plant based dishes on the menu.
All the excuses are gradually melting away and people will have to finally admit that they do indeed value their taste more than the life of an animal and so fully own what they are paying to be done in their name.
Awesome job Ed! After waking up to the reality of meat eating being totally unnecessary, it's almost painful seeing how people react to these questions. As for the German guys, I think if nothing else, you have definitely planted some good seeds. I recently posted a video about my own journey to veganism and how it took me a long time. You remind me of people in my life who tried to open my eyes to the truth and I used to make fun of them. My goal now is to use a patient & kind approach like you have.
Hi, I'm not sure I understand your comment. Do you mean to say that we should not eat those either? If so, why not? I don't have any reason to care if someone chooses to eat these because they are not sentient beings and by eating them, we are not harming anyone.
:-)
Love your videos!
People DON'T THINK!
