Don't let it bring you down!! It's the natural reaction people have to change that they don't yet understand - First they ignore you, then they laugh at you, then they fight you, and then you win. :) This big truth has repeated itself many times when it comes to big changes in history. :)
Choose Vegan I never understood why people think it's "weird" or "strange" to be vegan just because most of us were raised to eat animal products. I think it's weird to consume the milk of another animal that's meant for its own child since no other animal does that (unless you feed your pets milk).
Choose Vegan they mock you because your probably a pain in the ass like most vegan. Keep your mouth shut about what you eat and don’t bother others about what they eat and no one will mock you. Like most vegans you probably can’t keep your mouth shut about being vegan and that’s where the problem is
The logic of the most people: "I love animals! But just the cute ones like cats and dogs. I don't care if I support the pain that "non cute" animals go through because they taste good."
Baby cows and lamb are adorable and they still eat them- cats and dogs are cute and still eaten in Asia. I think it is social conditioning more than how cute an animal is.
I was brought up eating meat too it's no excuse. I decided I didn't want to eat animals when I was 4 and at 24 realized that wasn't enough and became vegan.
I was raised eating meat too and even when my mum told me lies saying they're killed humanely i always felt guilty about it and went vegetarian at age 11 and then vegan at 19.
Sarah C awesome..me too. When i was young i said i love animals too much to eat them but then i got anaemic n my doctor lied to me all chickens, sausages are made from a machine n cos i was a very young child i believed him so started eating for a while but then after i realized it was a lie i stopped again! it is a choice n only the caring ppl chose to live up by their morals!!!
Something I've learned in my adulthood is that people think they're special snowflakes, they like to play victim, and they don't want to deal with the difficulty of change. We were all programmed they same way when it comes to eating animals. I'd guess that 99%of vegans once had they thought, "How the hell am I going to give up cheese, ice cream, etc." (while not realizing there are vegan versions...)" Usually when I bring this to non-vegan's attention, they STFU.
Gabrielle Nickson correct i agree with u but i wish there is substitute to feta cheese tho.. i really miss that and unfortunately the vegan ice creams dont taste good at all so kinda miss that too 😞 dont like the taste of soya too but im kinda forcing myself lol. I wish more n more substitutes are being produced so it's easier for many people!
Why does everyone think it's so hard? I stop eating meat almost instantly almost a year ago.. brought up and lived in a house where everyone else ate meat.. there was no temptation at all when bacon was frying in the morning..
+Martina...me too...Iooking at "meat" in the grocery store, or at someone's house, all I see is: decaying animal muscle (and nerves, veins, arteries), as well as violence, torture, pain, greed, heart disease, cruelty, confinement, suffering....I see it for what it is.... : l
DHickeyFit because they know nothing about nutrition so they starve themselves. They don't think of eating beans, legumes, nuts, seeds,greens and more variety of veggies
DHickeyFit I have autism... my diet was very regimented, certain meats on certain days, certain brands so on and so on... it took me a little over a month to go from this to vegan and change many other things in my life (using less plastic, removing palm oil and other stuff) if people like me can do it then better functioning people can do it .-.
I love the way you talk to people and let them come to their own conclusions. You can tell that even when people don't admit it they realise you can't be humane and take life, they are going to walk away with that thought in their minds. You plant the seed of consciousness that change needs with out being aggressive. I often watch these videos for pure motivation to change my lifestyle further, thankyou.
Interesting that that lady avoids leather and products tested on animals but eats bacon, pretty strange if you ask me. Very entertaining interviews. Two thumbs up
angry vegan Yeah u sometimes hear that from non-vegans, I personally dont believe that to much when ppl come out with it, I tend to think they say that when they finally realise where the conversation is going and dont want to seem like an absolute uncaring person that they are because they suddenly just realised for themselves that that is who they are but without ever have a conversation like this one to make them realise (hence why these conversations are extremely important, good work Ed :) ) they might just be, sorta like a defence tactic that there mind plays on them, I dont blame them one bit tho as I prob would have answered the same back before I was vegan
Choose Vegan it's virtue signaling. like when people say oh yea factory farms are horrible. they don't actually care but it's a point they can make without admitting the basic immorality of consuming animals unnecessarily.
Honestly people can make excuses like that they need to eat meat for health. But there's no valid argument against animal testing or wearing leather. I don't agree with eating meat, but I understand why people do. When people wear leather or buy products tested on animals I do not understand that. There's no argument to do those because it's not needed or inconvenient to do the moral thing.
Conscious Conscience Yeah thats right, its like they feel like by saying something like that that they have somehow contributed to the cause in a positive way when really they should change their actions rather then just their beliefs!
Amazing work Ed. I really love the way you approach activism, causing people to think for themselves, always guiding them to a greater understanding of Veganism.
I've never understood the hype over pork in general. McDonald's bacon and sausage is barely tolerable and the rest I cannot stomach. It doesn't taste good at all and I don't understand the hype around it.
I love how you don't jump on people (who are mostly good but just ignorant on this matter) and instead ask them questions, encouraging them to think for themselves and make connections they wouldn't have otherwise thought about. Fantastic work!
Well they would walk away if he started disagreeing with them. He even has to agree to stupid hypothetical situations like oh, yes, you do have to kill animals to survive... which is ridiculous because even in that situation you'd just eat the vegetation that the animal was staying alive on.
I used to work in a restaurant in Louisiana. If you know Louisiana you know there is a huge cockroach "problem". They were always finding their way into the restaurant, along with lizards. My coworkers used to tell me to squish the cockroaches and put the lizards outside. I would sweep up the cockroaches and put them outside. I would tell them "There's no point in killing them. They're not hurting anybody". People thought I was weird. I wasn't even vegan at this point.
Meagen Kasey so because they are gross to YOU, might as well kill it?? How do roaches even destroy homes wtf. If you are dirty and get infested with roaches i think that's a you problem. My mom does the same she never kills anything. All the time at her job people are so quick to kill roaches because they are ugly but my mother just pushed them outside.
Dear Evelyne They do like to eat the glue they use to hold cardboard boxes together. I could imagine they might like wood glue and other glues. But this isn't any reason to kill them. They're just looking for food and warmth (autumn and winter).
a couple months before I stopped eating meat, I adamantly told a vegetarian girl that I'd just met that I could never live without meat. so whenever I hear people respond like this I don't get angry or anything because I was the same way. just by explaining your point of view calmly, people will see where you're coming from and soon enough they too can't ignore the truth. That's why I think that you guys are doing good, because those people that you meet in street probably go home and do more research and eventually realise that there needs to be change. good job guys 👍
Very smart to start with the conversation of equality and then bring animals into it after it is an established fact of our importance on equality! Love what you are doing Ed, truly an inspiration.
I think the eastern European kids are really descent. Most eastern European country's aren't used to vegetarianism and Veganism so it's a lot more of a foren concept for them. you'll probably not convince them but again, thanks for giving your best!
Favorite LOL quote of the video so far: "Pets... we like 'em, we care for them, we have chores..." It's just not an animal unless we can find a good CHORE for them to perform for us. ROFL
I've been binge watching your videos for the last couple of days and do have to say I'm impressed by your approach. It's amazing how you are able to have a really nice conversation with these people and start off the conversations in such a way that they feel comfortable but later realize how wrong they are in their ways. You seem very relatable and calm and I feel like I'm learning a lot from your videos, thank you!
it all comes down to selfish desire. I think you do a great job of bringing that to light in a positive way when you talk to people. What's difficult is people believe we're omnivores despite the negative health effects caused by eating those "foods". Good job!❤👌
Lauren Deveney Well not everyone’s bodies are suited for a vegan/vegetarian diet. My friend quitted being a vegan after she got a lot of health problems that her body is trying to warn her that she needs more than just plant based products - she constantly gets cold during the winter, had bloating problems etc.
I like it a lot how you talk with people. Recently I watched a speech by James aspey and specially like one of his quotes: "don't blame and shame, inform and explain". I think that is the best way to make people aware and conscious about eating an anomal. Like Dale Carnegie used to say: "Let the people come to the conclusion by themself" and you do that by simple questions! The work you do is awesome! :)
I love how animals talk about animals like they were not animals. The brainwash is real. We have plants, minerals, animals and HUMANS lol xD. We are just another specie of the animal kingdom.
Alex S. it's more the company as a whole - I think the scarfs are wool, they are a huge buyer of leather, fur etc. much of Burberry products are stolen from animals.
Excellent activism, interviewing people and allowing them to express their own confusion and conflicts about using some animals while exploiting others. Very revealing. I misread this title when I clicked on it, thinking it read "Human Bacon." I've read that human flesh tastes similar to pig flesh.
i sometimes cringe so hard when people give their arguments. I respect your patience and respect you give them despite them being completely uneducated and really coldblodedly stupid sometimes...
I've learned 2 things about activism from Ed: 1. Active listening even when you don't like what is being said. 2. Going by the philosophy that good people do bad things out of ignorance, conditioning
Ed has shown me that one of the greatest tactics when arguing with a non-vegan is to actually give them the chance to speak. It's only a matter of time before they contradict themselves.
When people say " I love Bacon ahahhahahhaha" I start immediately seeing how pigs are screaming in pain in slaughterhouse, I have no idea how Ed dealing with dumb people all these years. "In Ed we Trust"
When interviewing the boys I thought the one who talked the most would say: yeah animals should be treated equal, "but some animals are more equal than others" :D
Very inspirational content man. You and Joey Carbstrong have mastered the ability to make people think deeply about the hypocrisy of killing and eating animals and believing in equality and respect; and for that reason people like you and Joey are legends man !
In the very near future there will be a super realistic plant version of bacon (like a smoked tempeh creation). Then you can carry it around on a tray and shove it into bacon-lover's mouths to shut them up. The burger, "chicken," milks and yogurts and some of the cheezes have already been perfected... it's all just about perfecting it and then promotion.
I love how he prepares the trap slowly... First he asks moral questions really easy to answer: "Are we all humans equal?" "do you want everyone be treated with respect?". And then once they think they all are great persons with great values...here it comes... The ugly truth to show us how hypocrites we all are.
My children are hens and roos... they have access to my house thru a doggie door 24x7 connected to their "mansion". They are 100% my family, no cages ever. I speak their language and they understand me too. They recognize different people, make choices and decisions and have their own personality, likes and dislikes and even their own drama too. They purr too and let me know when they really enjoy whatever I am doing to them. It's amazing to watch them and I feel so blessed to share my life with them. I adore them and it kills me to know millions are abused and slaved and killed each day just because of ignorance or literally not wanting to know. I love Ed and the work he does. He is inspiring me to do more than just having my little sanctuary here. Just watching his videos we can all learn how to talk to other about it. He is absolutely the modern Jesus! Ps I just went and put blankies on my broody ones hahaha and they purred and stay all quiet and still. If they don't want to be covered, they would also let me know. But here it's all good for them tonight. Every animal farm should enjoy the rest of their lives being loved.
Really love the way you approach the topics because it gets people's brains thinking - that's really what we all need is a little information looked through a different perspective
Man, I admire the way you interview and debate so much. I really would like to make people think the way you do. When I do it I try do do it respectfully but it often comes across pedantic.
Asking someone if they believe in equality is a rather loaded question and anyone who actually stops and thinks before opening their mouths would have to answer no. The human scum that fill prisons around the world do not deserve the equality of law abiding citizens.
These people don't even know how to react and respond when simultaneously asked simple logical questions, it's literally like when he asks these questions that they've not thought about it before... we are born and raised blind and ignorant until something or somebody comes along and enlightens us, and its just a shame when they try and fight it...i only wish I would have known the truth sooner...😔smh. I'm just grateful for people like you shedding light on truth. You are so brave and calm at the same time... 👏
So much love and respect for you and what you're doing for the animals and the planet man. Seriously inspiring, I'm actually going to start doing some of these street interviews myself. I am going to try to mimic your calm demeanor and just allow the people to come to the conclusions themselves. That's what I love about your videos in particular! Never attacking people- the Vegan movement needs more people like you. I think it's an amazing idea and I know you've changed people's lives. Keep up the good work 🌈
I think the problem is that most people simply haven't gave any thought into what happens when we farm animals and what makes it okay for us to do so. Ever since we were little kids, meat is provided to us as part of our diet, so we simply never questioned it. Eating meat became so fundamental to us we become too stubborn for change.
The general consensus seems to be ''I know that if I really knew what was going on I would go vegan, but I choose to not think about it because I don't want to give up bacon''
You approach veganism in such an opening way! If I was you I would probably be exploading with frustration. I really appreciate you doing this in a way that engages people without seeming "preachy"
Good work as always, Ed. That guy on the right came the closest I've heard a meat eater say that humans should care for the animals because we're intellectually superior. Usually they argue the opposite. Maybe he's close to making the connection, or am I dreaming?
There's very little proof that humans are more intelligent than animals. Look around you, who's screwing up the planet and can't agree on anything of importance or even figure out what they're supposed to eat? Animals got us beat in many ways of intelligence, even ants.
There was a kraft cheese commercial before this... Anyway, I really enjoyed the video, and I think it's great that you are taking your time to walk around and make people think about what is hidden and what is barely mentioned. Your videos helped give me the push I needed to eat a plant based diet and use vegan products. Thank you!!!
I must say that I am so impressed by how you get your message across and phrase things. Your interview and earthlings really opened my eyes. I saw the documentary 5 days ago and now I have been a vegetarian for 5 days. This is my start and my end goal is of course to go vegan. You really do make a difference so thank you for opening my eyes.
people before the questions: "this is great...Im on the camera" after the questions: "oh no..I never thought I could use my brain so much...my head hurts from thinking so much"
It is funny how most people say they care where the meat comes from or that they eat meat but NOT A LOT. I guess some really do, but most people don't think about where their their steak or cheeseburger come from, they just want themselves to feel better.
Can I pay this guy to come to my work and speak to all my colleagues that mock me for being the compassionate person that I am? 😆
Compassionate?. that's a really string word.
Don't let it bring you down!! It's the natural reaction people have to change that they don't yet understand - First they ignore you, then they laugh at you, then they fight you, and then you win. :) This big truth has repeated itself many times when it comes to big changes in history. :)

Like most vegans you probably can’t keep your mouth shut about being vegan and that’s where the problem is
Don’t think about it as trying to change people; realize that you are speaking up for the animals, the world’s silent victims.
Ed has the patience of a saint !
B1cam right?! If I were the one getting these bs responses from people, I would lose my mind 😂
Ed's a twat.
He is a saint 💚
FIshfood500 pffff you’re out here liking your own comments
FIshfood500 Why do you think that?
The logic of the most people: "I love animals! But just the cute ones like cats and dogs. I don't care if I support the pain that "non cute" animals go through because they taste good."
so true
they are not able to realize their life is a lie
Mmmm.. Bacon
Baby cows and lamb are adorable and they still eat them- cats and dogs are cute and still eaten in Asia. I think it is social conditioning more than how cute an animal is.
Slow roasted baby suckling pig is great in Hawaii! (Mouth watering good!) xD

Why does everyone think it's so hard? I stop eating meat almost instantly almost a year ago.. brought up and lived in a house where everyone else ate meat.. there was no temptation at all when bacon was frying in the morning..
Same here! I stopped instantly, never missed it and don't miss it now... I don't even see it as food anymore at all, just flesh and parts of animals
+Martina...me too...Iooking at "meat" in the grocery store, or at someone's house, all I see is: decaying animal muscle (and nerves, veins, arteries), as well as violence, torture, pain, greed, heart disease, cruelty, confinement, suffering....I see it for what it is.... : l
DHickeyFit because they know nothing about nutrition so they starve themselves. They don't think of eating beans, legumes, nuts, seeds,greens and more variety of veggies

Yup she may as well buy products tested on animals and fur bc the meat industry is much worse lol, SMH

Amazing work Ed. I really love the way you approach activism, causing people to think for themselves, always guiding them to a greater understanding of Veganism.
The smell of bacon makes me sick
I've never understood the hype over pork in general. McDonald's bacon and sausage is barely tolerable and the rest I cannot stomach. It doesn't taste good at all and I don't understand the hype around it.
Once you have given it up and made the connection, the thought of eating it is sickening. This guy is so thoughtful and cares deeply.
Even before I made my transition, bacon has always smelled and tasted so gross...
Same , people say to me don’t you miss bacon ? and I say I’ve never liked it .
Tell me about it
I love how you don't jump on people (who are mostly good but just ignorant on this matter) and instead ask them questions, encouraging them to think for themselves and make connections they wouldn't have otherwise thought about. Fantastic work!

vegan bacon is the best, tempeh is better than meat
"Do you believe in equality?" Wow, such a simple, but strong start to a discussion!
No, I don't.
Very honest and respectful way of interviewing people, you bring them to their own realisations with out them creating a defence. Love your work.
Hit her with that “what does humane slaughter look like?” I almost cried
You are doing god's work seriously.
Sadly, the Bible, the Torah, and Quran all promote eating animals in many places. Unsure which god you are referencing.
Reginald Finley They say to treat animals with compassion - and the meat, fur and dairy industry etc. does not treat animals with compassion
amen
These street interviews are always so insightful. You're on fire, Ed. Awakening the vegan in people, one question at a time!
Favorite LOL quote of the video so far: "Pets... we like 'em, we care for them, we have chores..." It's just not an animal unless we can find a good CHORE for them to perform for us. ROFL
I think these videos and conversations are SO important. Truly, thank you for doing these and I hope to see more soon!

Yuck, even when I ate meat, bacon was my least favorite. It just is so fatty and when I ate it, I could literally feel my arteries clog.
I love how animals talk about animals like they were not animals. The brainwash is real. We have plants, minerals, animals and HUMANS lol xD. We are just another specie of the animal kingdom.
And being omnivore animals we have no reason to avoid eating other animals.
Hates the mistreatment of animals.. wears a Burberry scarf..
Jules Monck V what are they made out of?
Alex S. it's more the company as a whole - I think the scarfs are wool, they are a huge buyer of leather, fur etc. much of Burberry products are stolen from animals.
Jules Monck V oh I see. I've heard of the company but don't see it around much. Good to know so I can avoid it!
No difference…it's still leather or wool.
Hates to see the suffering of animals...ok with them over populating and suffering from climate, starvation and disease
that middle lad has the power stance going. he's gonna go far haha

1. Active listening even when you don't like what is being said.
2. Going by the philosophy that good people do bad things out of ignorance, conditioning
Great work mate, always really interesting hearing these perspectives and how to make people realize the contradictions in them.
Great work Ed! You've got a great skill for this kind of activism!

Learning a lot from you Ed , thank you for your wisdom and sharing your skills 🙏🏽🌻🐾
Very inspirational content man. You and Joey Carbstrong have mastered the ability to make people think deeply about the hypocrisy of killing and eating animals and believing in equality and respect; and for that reason people like you and Joey are legends man !
In the very near future there will be a super realistic plant version of bacon (like a smoked tempeh creation). Then you can carry it around on a tray and shove it into bacon-lover's mouths to shut them up. The burger, "chicken," milks and yogurts and some of the cheezes have already been perfected... it's all just about perfecting it and then promotion.
Can't wait for the second part! Great job as always xxx
I love how he prepares the trap slowly... First he asks moral questions really easy to answer: "Are we all humans equal?" "do you want everyone be treated with respect?". And then once they think they all are great persons with great values...here it comes... The ugly truth to show us how hypocrites we all are.
My children are hens and roos... they have access to my house thru a doggie door 24x7 connected to their "mansion". They are 100% my family, no cages ever. I speak their language and they understand me too. They recognize different people, make choices and decisions and have their own personality, likes and dislikes and even their own drama too. They purr too and let me know when they really enjoy whatever I am doing to them. It's amazing to watch them and I feel so blessed to share my life with them. I adore them and it kills me to know millions are abused and slaved and killed each day just because of ignorance or literally not wanting to know.
I love Ed and the work he does. He is inspiring me to do more than just having my little sanctuary here. Just watching his videos we can all learn how to talk to other about it. He is absolutely the modern Jesus!
Ps I just went and put blankies on my broody ones hahaha and they purred and stay all quiet and still. If they don't want to be covered, they would also let me know. But here it's all good for them tonight. Every animal farm should enjoy the rest of their lives being loved.
Really love the way you approach the topics because it gets people's brains thinking - that's really what we all need is a little information looked through a different perspective
1:11 she didn't see that coming
Man, I admire the way you interview and debate so much. I really would like to make people think the way you do. When I do it I try do do it respectfully but it often comes across pedantic.
1:30 some historic philosopher telling a profound story 😂
fr lmao! so funny
Asking someone if they believe in equality is a rather loaded question and anyone who actually stops and thinks before opening their mouths would have to answer no. The human scum that fill prisons around the world do not deserve the equality of law abiding citizens.
I love how you lull them into a false sense of security, then poww! :)
I always practice my listening english skills with you and at the same time I learn more about veganism
If I had a £ for every time someone in their death throws of a veganism debate said "I just love (insert meat food)" I'd be a wealthy man
I love how he walks them into the trap 😂. Really cool.
"I'm all for animal rights but I still think it's okay to support an industry that causes them pain and kills them."
Great video bro! keep up the good work !
These people don't even know how to react and respond when simultaneously asked simple logical questions, it's literally like when he asks these questions that they've not thought about it before... we are born and raised blind and ignorant until something or somebody comes along and enlightens us, and its just a shame when they try and fight it...i only wish I would have known the truth sooner...😔smh. I'm just grateful for people like you shedding light on truth. You are so brave and calm at the same time... 👏
So much love and respect for you and what you're doing for the animals and the planet man. Seriously inspiring, I'm actually going to start doing some of these street interviews myself. I am going to try to mimic your calm demeanor and just allow the people to come to the conclusions themselves. That's what I love about your videos in particular! Never attacking people- the Vegan movement needs more people like you. I think it's an amazing idea and I know you've changed people's lives. Keep up the good work 🌈
You are so professional and patient with the speciesists 🤣 I admire you
I JUST LOVE these interviews! Gives me good ideas when I talk to people about veganism :D
Keep up the great work, Ed!
These videos are addicting to watch! Keep it up! You're opening eyes
I think the problem is that most people simply haven't gave any thought into what happens when we farm animals and what makes it okay for us to do so. Ever since we were little kids, meat is provided to us as part of our diet, so we simply never questioned it. Eating meat became so fundamental to us we become too stubborn for change.
The general consensus seems to be ''I know that if I really knew what was going on I would go vegan, but I choose to not think about it because I don't want to give up bacon''
I absolutely love your interviews.
You are an inspiration Ed. I will take up activism like you in a year or two here in Scandinavia.
You are so so so patient oh my god. I would have cracked like five times over lol
You approach veganism in such an opening way! If I was you I would probably be exploading with frustration. I really appreciate you doing this in a way that engages people without seeming "preachy"
I’m certain the guy in the black blue jacket in centre would be a great storyteller for his grandkids.
Good work as always, Ed. That guy on the right came the closest I've heard a meat eater say that humans should care for the animals because we're intellectually superior. Usually they argue the opposite. Maybe he's close to making the connection, or am I dreaming?
There's very little proof that humans are more intelligent than animals. Look around you, who's screwing up the planet and can't agree on anything of importance or even figure out what they're supposed to eat? Animals got us beat in many ways of intelligence, even ants.
"Of course I want equality" "of course HAHAHAHHA I love bacon" , she don't wanna open her eyes to the truth .
I think these interviews will be extremely legendary in the far future.
great video ed !
There was a kraft cheese commercial before this...
Anyway, I really enjoyed the video, and I think it's great that you are taking your time to walk around and make people think about what is hidden and what is barely mentioned. Your videos helped give me the push I needed to eat a plant based diet and use vegan products. Thank you!!!
Ed, you re the proof for we get the kind of reactions depended on the energy of how we open things to people
I must say that I am so impressed by how you get your message across and phrase things. Your interview and earthlings really opened my eyes. I saw the documentary 5 days ago and now I have been a vegetarian for 5 days. This is my start and my end goal is of course to go vegan. You really do make a difference so thank you for opening my eyes.
Great work Ed. The master!
people before the questions: "this is great...Im on the camera"
after the questions: "oh no..I never thought I could use my brain so much...my head hurts from thinking so much"
always have admired the way he keeps his cool and composure, when he talks to people about animal cruelty. i can't but help lose my shit.
The way you aproached them !!! Beautiful!!
It is funny how most people say they care where the meat comes from or that they eat meat but NOT A LOT. I guess some really do, but most people don't think about where their their steak or cheeseburger come from, they just want themselves to feel better.
its like if equality was measured by human context and not in an enviromental way
On form in this video man!
these leading questions are so good. top work.
I hope you got somewhere with the last girl Ed! Great vid looking forward to part 2
Awake Children of Light! Be no longer in disguise. Wipe the sleep from your eyes and show the world your pure heart. Peace be with you.
Ed, during the vegan pilgrimage spreading cultural dilemas, knowledge and moral questioning
I got a steak ad before this video
Ed why were you standing in a pond with the lady?! 🤣🤣🤣
0:14 equality to all people. Girl in the middle: "but why?"
