    The person who asks the questions, controls the conversation. You lead someone to their own conclusion by asking a series of questions that any reasonable person would answer in the same way. Notice how their body language becomes more and more uncomfortable as they realise what they are saying about themselves? Ed never argues or tries to push them, he just gently leads them to their own conclusions with his questions. Every vegan should study this technique. The hardest part is controlling the urge to bite back at some of the things people say. Ed is a master of this technique and it is by far the most effective way to talk to people and get them to listen. You just ask the right questions and let them talk. Keep calm and don’t over react and they will reach the logical conclusion themselves. So effective! This is one of the reasons I support Ed with a small monthly donation. He can do what I can’t.

      C21H30O2 to make matters worse there's also the detoxing factor which can often further confuse people. When you go vegan you might get detox symptoms which can be easily misinterpreted as the vegan diet being the one to blame for that.

      sure there are some junk food vegans who miss out on the benefits of a whole food diet, but on average they're still the healthiest. I think it's great that humans managed to cultivate plants in that way, animal products on the other hand slowly poison you to death also today, what's your point?

      @milasuljagic7913 7 лет назад +17

      I think that he's right. Maybe he knows some vegans who are often ill, but they can be ill for several reasons - bad diet choices (don't get all the nutrients that they should), genetics, lack of hygiene, lack of sleep, lack of physical exercise... Or, even if they get sick from what ever, people would right away make the connection to veganism, because, when you become a vegan, you are actually becoming only that. What ever happens to you, they are pinning on it. Cause they don't understand. I mean, I know a lot more meat eaters who are often sick too, but you never heard anyone telling them 'it's because you eat meat' (even tho it may be true!) No, meat eaters are always sick because of something els. Vegans never... There are million excuses, but not one valid. GO VEGAN!

      Rob D They only produce milk when there is a baby present so the milk would be used by the baby cow like it was originally supposed to be. Animals don’t need humans to preform normal bodily functions.

      Aliyah Davis it’s clear you never have worked or been even on a dairy farm. Calf’s are kept with their month for three months (average time a calf drinks their mothers milk) but a female cow will continue to produce milk from that one calf for up to five years alone. If that cow doesn’t get it’s milk out of its udders it can cause severe pain, and even infection leading to death. That’s why you will see cows willingly walk up to the Milker.

      Most dairy cows get set to slaughter and replaced in an average of 4 years and are bred multiple times in that span so the idea that one cow produces milk for one calf for 5 years isn’t logical or proven at all.

    Sad but true: One of my best friends went to China in 1999 and had a dog butchered as meat. That wasn't his plan. The dog was in an open market and he thought he was purchasing it as a pet. He considered buying it and having to make special flight arrangements and having to pay for quarantine, etc. He decided he wanted the dog and asked the vendors if they would hold the dog for him if he paid for it up front. With their limited English (and his limited Chinese) they agreed. He went back later to pick up the dog and they handed him a package wrapped in brown paper. He said, "No, my dog? Where's my dog?". They pointed at the package and said, "Yes, dog." (If not for the language barrier, without knowing it he might have saved the dog. It's so sad.)

      @@jeffcelis3024 Dr. Kim Williams, president of the American College of Cardiology and chief of cardiology at Rush University, advocates a plant-based diet for heart disease prevention. As one of the most high-profile cardiologists in the country, Dr. Williams made news and some controversy when he wrote an article supporting a vegan diet in a Medscape column last year. Williams is crystal clear, in interviews and with his patients, and he doesn’t mince words when he talks about diet and heart health. He says that to prevent heart disease, “the most important things are plant-based nutrition, exercise, and weight loss. Most people will succumb to heart disease, diabetes, or hypertension on the standard American diet, which is why heart disease is the biggest killer in America. So the best primary prevention strategy is improved lifestyle. ”
      When he speaks to patients, he tells them frankly that their health is in their own hands. “If someone already has heart disease or plaque, I will always recommend dietary change and exercise. Heart disease has killed more people in the United States than any other disease since the Spanish Flu epidemic of 1918-1920. I tell them they don’t have to be one of those statistics.”Williams says the science shows that “plaque regression in patients with angiographic evidence of disease has been shown with only four methods with an acceptable risk/benefit ratio.” The first two are the Ornish and Esselstyn diets, which are both low-fat, plant-based diets (Ornish’s plan includes stress reduction and regular exercise; the Esselstyn Diet eliminates all fatty foods including nuts and avocados). The other two are high doses of prescription medicines atorvastatin and rosuvastatin, which come with significant side effects in some patients. Williams points out that statin drugs and good diet are not mutually exclusive.

    • @nicolasfilsdejean
      @nicolasfilsdejean 4 года назад +2

      @@jeffcelis3024 Hello there, may I point out several dietary guidelines in favor of whole plant based diets? It is the position of the American Dietetic Association that appropriately planned vegetarian diets, including total vegetarian or vegan diets, are healthful, nutritionally adequate, and may provide health benefits in the prevention and treatment of certain diseases. Well-planned vegetarian diets are appropriate for individuals during all stages of the life cycle, including pregnancy, lactation, infancy, childhood, and adolescence, and for athletes. Another guidline is the 2019 edition of Canadian guideline which says: Many of the well-studied healthy eating patterns include mostly plant-based foods.
      Plant-based foods can include:
      • vegetables and fruits
      • whole grain foods
      • plant-based protein foods
      Eating plant-based foods regularly can mean eating more fibre and less saturated fat. This can have a positive effect on health, including a lowered risk of:
      • cancer
      • heart disease
      • type 2 diabetes.
      And last example: In the newly-released Australian Dietary Guidelines, plant-derived foods are given as alternatives to animal-derived foods, with meal planning advice accommodating vegan eating. In fact, the Guidelines state that alternatives to animal foods (such as nuts, seeds, legumes, beans and tofu) can, for all Australians, "increase dietary variety and can provide a valuable, affordable source of protein and other nutrients found in meats."
      Therefore, maybe you could find peer reviewed scienc based articles supporting your claims? Meanwhile, have a good day and take care.

BTW only humans care about ethic and Morales. There are differences in animals too. For sure, no dogs understand why you sad or happy. The reason why people cannot answer those questions on the street is because they are off guard and don't want to argue with a stranger.

    I don't like when people bring up religion when trying to defend their eating meat. Based on my knowledge, God allowed us to eat animals, He didn't create them for us to eat. A simple look at the book of Genesis will show that in the garden of Eden, no animals would harm or were harmed. Eden was considered Heaven on earth, so in a perfect world no one would eat meat. Love your neighbour as yourself, even if your neighbour happens to walk on all fours.

    • @plukke_b2048

      God is that wich connects us all. Satan is that wich seperates. Satan is the ego , satan is you. If you'd live in heaven ,and thus with god you'd literally see all animal individuals as yourself and would not be able to hurt them ,unless when your life depends on it. That IS satan's job ; making sure your individual life survives, in order to do this we have to be able to believe we are above other individuals, but LIVING in that soace ,in that convictions creates wicked men in spiritual places.

I think we dont have to eat meat on earth but I do believe God has ordained mankind to eat meat. He told Noah the clean animals were for food besides the plants. He sent ravens to send Elijah meat and bread in the morning and evening. God instructed the Israelites to sacrifice animals for the cleansing of their sins every year and God gave us His own precious Son Jesus who is also called the Lamb of God.

      The rare eye contact is for sure a cultural thing. And about doctors' nutritional knowledge, I'd say that here in Hungary the medical university is difficult enough and it takes almost 10 years for someone to become a doctor or surgeon etc, I think it is not their task to give nutritional advice. There are assigned professional for that, they study nutrition for 5 years or more at university, and they practice at hospitals and clinics.
