      Try not to feel too guilty, Rhonda. Just remember all of the opposition you ever faced being a vegetarian. In eighteen years, how many times have you been asked how do you get your protein, iron and nutrients, far too many I’d guess.
      Just make sure you’re taking vitamins B₁₂ and D regularly (fortified foods alone are never enough), it’s no good being a sick vegan!

    I’m a clinician-scientist in health care at a world class university and professional speaker related to vegan nutrition. What you say so eloquently, logically and clearly in 15 1/2 minutes, is remarkable. I am 74 years old and aspire to be just like you, when I grow up! You are truly an inspiration to me and so many others. The resistance in so-called ‘health’ care as well as the public, is beyond belief. Your interview with psychologist Dr. Joy was exceptional. Her short video (along with yours), on ‘The Secret Reason We Eat Meat’ should be on prime time TV. It is an exceptional sociological analysis. Do know I am turning many others to your work regarding the moral side of veganism. I particularly liked Dr. Joy’s conceptualization of ‘carnism’, too, and the value system that meat-eaters buy into. It well articulates that meat eaters have a strong belief system, too, regarding it is ‘acceptable’ to multilateral, abuse, and slaughter animals, not only vegans who have a belief system that supports personal health and well-being, planetary health and animal welfare…. Thank you. Upward and onward…you give me hope.

      But I'm sure, deep down in your heart, you don't want animals to be treated that way. You don't want animal cruelty, just like we don't. And you will find that compassion some day in the future. I promise you.
      Listen to yourself. Ask yourself, if you want to be the person, that pays for innocent beings to be killed and exploited just for our taste pleasure. Ask yourself, how you would react, if someone did this to a dog or a cat (maybe you have one). Or even yourself. I'm sure, you actually don't want to be this person making fun of animal cruelty and suffering.
      I wish you all the best.

    I've been watching you for a few months now and am currently in Veganuary. It isn't going to stop there. I love cooking and am really enjoying the new dishes (we were already not eating huge amounts of meat but I do love butter!) Excited to start my new journey!

    The only question is how was I not vegan earlier... I guess sometimes we’re all just innocent kids that don’t know any better... it took me into my 30s to realize and go vegan. I think it’s about teaching people to know better.

    Holy crap, that was amazing! This should be required viewing for anyone who has no legitimate excuse not to go vegan. And if you have access to adequate plant foods, you have no legitimate excuse.

    This moved me in a way I cant say i’ve experienced before, and has definitely made a change in me. I’m ashamed to say for so long I made excuses for not going vegan, but not anymore. Thank you Ed, for informing those willing to listen, and making a change for the better

      @Lee Ara As I've said elsewhere: Demagoguery: "political activity or practices that seek support by appealing to the desires and prejudices of ordinary people rather than by using rational argument."
      I'm saying that those who advocate veganism (like Ed does) advocate through demagoguery rather than by rational argument.

    • @WalterKhayyam
      @WalterKhayyam 5 лет назад +1

      @Lee Ara The irrationality of your position is already demonstrated by the assumption that there is only one argument against your position. I eat meat for the same reason I eat plants; something living needs to die for me to keep on living; I have accepted that reality, you haven't. You instead create a diet surrounding whether or not you can anthropomorphise the source of the food in question.

    • @WalterKhayyam
      @WalterKhayyam 5 лет назад +1

      @Lee Ara By the time my meat has been killed, its brain is no longer functioning and its nervous system no longer has the capacity to feel pain, so why does it require further consideration?
      But be careful of taking your logic to its conclusion, there is a whole species of animal that has no central nervous system (or pain receptors) or a brain in any way comparable to any other (or has an identifiable comparable consciousness) yet it is unpalatable to vegans. These are: Crustaceans.

    This really moved me. Although I already take efforts to be a vegan for the animals, videos like these reinforce and strengthen my belief and motivate me to do better for these innocent animals ❤ Thank you Ed as the message of veganism I first got was from your videos ! Keep going on ! there surely will be a time we will make it a better place for animals and humans alike .❤ Peace ✌🏻

    I am vegan for 6 weeks now. The idea of veganism made so much sense to me for a long long time already, but I still couldn't make the consequent decision to change my life towards veganism. In the end it were the speeches of Ed - I never heard someone speaking so clearly and straight about this subject. This really helped me a lot. Thank you Ed!
