LOL "People don't eat Nandos, Big Macs intending to further the evolution of our species" That is GOLD!!!! Imagine if people actually thought that. Some people probably do tho.
"Nobody goes into McDonald's and orders a Big Mac thinking they are going to advance the evolution of the human species" - I just spat my soy latte across the room!! 😂🤣😂🤣 Love you Ed!!
This is an awesome video. I always get stuck on some of these questions. This video series is awesome!
If meat made us human then we are the worst thing that ever happened to the world.
P R E A C H !!!
Thinking back to the days of veganism and vegan activism before Ed arrived on the scene seems difficult now. Ed is taking veganism to the next level. Thanks.
my mcdonalds loving collegue argued with me that we became the humans we are today because our ancestors ate meat and that he therefore has to eat meat...the people don't even realize that their arguments make no sence
Send him/her this video.
Lol! YOUR comment is the one who makes no sense, because your collegue was RIGHT!!! Look up the REAL TRUTH instead of listening to the FALSE comments that Ed guy is spewing out!!! I will NEVER believe in ANYTHING some youtuber says and instead read BOOKS, that have the ACTUAL and TRUE information! Lmao! 🤣
Ed,
It must be said,
Before I'd eat an animal,
I'd rather be dead.
With love and compassion,
You make a stand,
To protect the innocent,
From our fellow man.
There's kindness in your eyes,
There's truth in your words,
One day we will look back,
Eating animals absurb.
Carry on the fight,
Carry on the light
Carry carry carry,
Carry on until the bright.

Facts and logic destroys carnist nonsense every time
lolllllllllllll
TheFettuck , shoo troll
If vegans are so concerned about the environment (it links very well with the meat industry shown on MANY documentaries) why do vegans still use plastic when not only do they harm the environment and are becoming a burden. But also they effect wildlife in the oceans. Turtles swallowing bags for example, surely that is just as bad as slaughtering an animal, I know 100% you'd prefer to have a swift death instead of a long and painful one. Maybe its worth having a deeper think on how you are still effecting wildlife....
THE problem is that they would rather delude themselves with bliss lies than to live with painful truth.
To add to what those two said... vegans also support the mowing down of animals and their homes for parks, roads, parking lots, stores, houses, etc. Supporting their exploitation and deaths for things that they can live without as well. The irony is amazing is it not?
Pythagoras went vegetarian at 19, he was pretty wise and lived about 600BC.
He was actually a vegan -- it was before dairy farms even existed. He didn't steal eggs from chickens or take milk from baby animals so he was not just vegetarian.
Gigantic Hairy Tarantula I know, and the word vegetarian originally means eating totally vegan. Many older people even today refer to veganism when they say vegetarian. Eating eggs and milk would be called lacto ovo-vegetarianism. I think we should take the word back, it makes more sense.
He did eat a lot of honey though, so some vegans would probably not approve :)
Some trolls are commenting bs. Don't give them attention thats all the want
Yeah, what's up with these people talking about masturbation all of a sudden?
*Fernando Torres* you talking about the one's that are commenting insults and ad hominems about nonvegans? Or the same one's commenting "facts and logic destroy carnist nonsense every time" on every video? Or the one's calling the people that don't agree with what is said and are just challenging the majority on the channel "trolls"? Yea, now that you mention it... they do seem like trolls replying for likes and attention. I never thought about that until now. I'll make sure to watch out for them. Good looking out bro!! 👊
Fernando Torres - it's true they only want attention they don't deserve
@@porkythepig3195 Lmao! 🤣 Yeah. I'm never going to become a vegan! They are just ret*rded dou**ebags, who are trying to pick a fight with everyone who doesn't follow their "cult"! 🤣🤣🤣
Sometimes living in the past is not a good idea...
If we can't eat live animals and live vegetables should we eat ourselves ?.
When some tells me “well our ancestors ate animals” you’re ancestors also owned slaves, just because it’s been happening for a long time doesn’t make it okay.
The only difference is meat used to be necessary but it's not anymore.
I have no problem with slavery.
I can buy vegan ready meals at Tesco now. No more need to hunt those deer in Richmond Park :)
You are the best really so much to learn from you. Thank you❤
Yep go back several hundred years and tell a Native American or an Eskimo they can't hunt and fish ? They respected their food source and for the most part it was humane and sustainable. There is a modern day equivalent but it's more nuanced than either side are willing to admit.
Primitive hunter gatherer human groups both past and present needed to hunt and fish to get enough food and obtain the nutrients they needed to survive. In fact even early civilizations needed to consume animals to meat their nutritional needs in many areas. True veganism is only really viable in more developed societies where wide varieties of food (and Vital supplements that must be taken to remain healthy) are available.
Both extinct and living tribes have specific rituals and practices for honoring and respecting the lives they take to sustain their own since as I stated they needed to do so to survive, many cultures believe that animals have souls and in societies like the Sa’an people of the kalahari they’ll perform small scale rituals to aid the animals spirit into the after life. They took what they needed and gave thanks for what they had, paying their respects. Early pastoralists who maintained herds of livestock fed them, led them to water and protected them from predators, when the time came for slaughter I hardly believe it was a joyous event but more of a solemn one I suppose. In our first world nations where food is readily available and we no longer have to struggle to obtain our meals anymore or be subject to the whims of environmental stress which forces a shift in diet killing animals (particularly in the practices were doing in the major industry) isn’t exactly necessary. The practice of killing animals for food was very different in the ancient or even prehistoric world and for the most part it seems it’s no longer required for our survival (again for those of us in developed nations)
sooooooo I think that’s what many vegans are getting at
>not vegan myself btw
True, I agree with you two. Veganism is not for all, vegans should understand more.
Nobody would lose an argument to you, your a genius, if a vegan lawyer was a job you’d smash it, keep it up man!
Dont you mean nobody would win an argument with him, although your right first time round
Dave Davies, yes thats exactly what i meant man!! Lol
All animals change over thousands of years. This includes a change in their diet. Unless you're a member of an uncontacted tribe, like the North Sentinelese or an Amazonian tribe or you live in the Arctic like Inuits, meat is so longer necessary and the human diet consists of mostly fruits, vegetables, seeds and other non-animal food. Meat isn't necessarily unhealthy, but it can be if you eat too much. I'm just saying that it's no longer necessary like it used to be.
👍
It’s not about morality, it’s about biology, physiology and health.
The most convincing theory I've read on how we became more intelligent than other species is explained in "Return to the Brain of Eden" by Tony Wright. It also explains why we've lost our empathy since we began eating animals more often over the last few millennia. It's incredibly enlightening and one more solid argument for why we should all be vegan.
Earthling Ed,
PLEASE make a playlist with all of these^ so i can embed a link in the files section of my AV Facebook group!
So cool you also brought up the shrooms! Hahaha. Thanks for this series of videos! Will help me with my outreach.
Nah the story here is vegans are saying eating animals isn't healthy when our ancestors did and survived for thousands of years
True
Amazing work Ed! Keep it up :)
thank you! you too! :)
Those short informative videos are great 👍
Keep these videos coming :)
These videos are so good! Short and the point is definitely explained well. 🌱👊
I saw the pic at the end and thought aw cute goat. Is that his goat? And then I realized ppl mostly have goats as a food source, and ur a vegan lol. I guess it could be ur pet. But I'm really curious about the goat now bc in terms of usefulness, goats are only really good for meat and dairy
I feel so grateful that there are people like me all over the world. I'm so dissapointed with my family that it drives me crazy sometimes. Keep up your work. Thank you 🙏🐣🐢🐓🐁
I've been told I was doing our ancestors an injustice by not eating animals 😂
Love you’re vids ed.
1.There are no arguments against veganism, only excuses. 2. There is no excuse for animal abuse. 3. There's no right way to do the wrong thing. 4. Unecessary murder is never ethical. (Embrace veganism)
Potatoes are such a beautiful food.
I honestly do have questions. Isn’t it moreso the horrible stuff they put in ex. Meat that makes people sick? And also I guess I have a hard time believing that with the way humans consume things and how much we grow, that if the whole of society went plant based would that actually be sustainable too? Wouldn’t we run into the same issue? Like the amount of plants needed to make milks etc also feels like excessive and unsustainable with how much we as a species consume what earth provides.
So wait if a vegan ate a bug, would the bug be considered meat 🤔
Thx for the explanation
What an inspirational video
Murder and rape has always been sin. Where does morality come from? I feel a circular argument coming. We are called to be stewards of the earth. Eating meat does not justify poor stewardship. Nor does poor stewardship make eating meat immoral. There is one reality, one Truth. There are numerous worldviews. Herein lies the dilemma.
Anyone can google long enough to gather supporting evidence to sell their worldview.
I disagree with your viewpoints, but I can appreciate your conviction.
You have here 30 excuses. And when they are all exhausted, there's only 1 left: blah-blah-blah, go away, I don't care, don't ruin my meal, leave me alone with my bacon and go eat your grass! "I don't want to know" - this one.... So sad. Ignorance is a major disease of modern humanity and a parent of many evils... You can take the horse to the water, but you cannot make him drink.
delete and ban the trolls. taking too much valuable space on your wonderful page.
We are shortening or Life by eating meat but yet humans are living longer lives now than they are 50 years ago and living twice as long compared to a hundred years ago.
Please go on the joe rogan podcast
Are vegans morally superior to people who eat meat?
Check and mate.
actually 90% of our species lifetime has been herbivore.
👍😊💕
I love that you included the stoned ape theory
Evolution... I hope this guy realizes some day what "evolution" really means.
actually ancestors ate very very very low quantities of meat.only in extreme conditions or for social reasons.
That depends on what group you’re talking about and from what time period. Paleolithic humans regularly ate animal proteins when they could access them. Trying to make it seem like ancient human groups only rarely ate meat to try and portray the past in your own way doesn’t validate your stance or give you credibility it just makes you a romanticist
A sincere comment and question based on your video, you said "if we morally justify the consumption of animals because our ancestors did it, we by default justify every behaviour and every action our ancestors made as well." So, in a sincere question if I morally justify the consumption of plants because our ancestors did it, do I by default justify every behaviour and and every action our ancestors made as well? does that make the other awful behaviours you mentioned okay? That is a blatant conflation. I am not opposed to people making a choice to be vegan, all the power to you. But this is just a bad argument.
Wrong those things are caused by consuming carbs.
JAJAJAJAJAJAJAJAJAJA... Qué pedazo de ignorante!!!! Los seres humanos formamos parte de la cadena trófica. Si no comemos animales rompemos el ecosistema en favor de otra especie. La naturaleza nos ha llevado al punto de tener un mejor cerebro que los demás animales, pero eso no significa dejar de comer carne. Lo que hay que hacer es moderar el consumo, eliminar el maltrato animal innecesario, cuidar ciertas especies, etc. etc. Pero nunca dejar de ser omnívoros, pues esta es una gran ventaja que nos permite a los humanos adaptarnos a la geografía donde vivamos.
He amazes me every time 👌🏻
eating our physiological compatible meat diet is not a “behavior” has no connection to morality,
Dude, a few hundred years ago, there were no potatoes in your country! See, that is your problem man, no idea of nothing. An then just shout it out!
yoon1001 did you even listen?

Love you Ed
Vegan Jesus, I am addicted to these videos. Keep up the great work👊🏻
Actually Jesus WAS vegan so no need to add that in front of the name. Although I don't think Ed believes in Jesus so he might not take it as the compliment it was intended to be.
Candy Colored Clowns It's a compliment. If my nickname offends him, he can tell me himself. I'm sure he reads his own comment section.
Ed's too polite to tell you himself if it offends him, he might even say he likes it. No need to get all bitchy and defensive about it though, you seem to have "issues" LOL
Gojira brought me here
They taste so good but I've been battling with my consciousness😭
Just eat other tasty food. lol. It's not hard once you get away from eating that stuff. You expand the number of foods you eat. Try this instead: ruclips.net/video/XeTfY-C5qXM/видео.html
Won't there be riots and what about people,e who has planet allegeies
vegan jesus
What if I don't want to be vegan
modern day morality
thats a great one
As an ex-self-proclaimed-carnist shifting to eating vegan has changed my life. I am healthier, stronger and no longer have a failing liver. Plants is where it's at 🌱
I’m with you on the planet and beef being a huge problem for water and methane, but you don’t have to be vegan, if I own a few chickens and they lay an egg or two and I’m caring for them how is it unacceptable to eat those eggs?
In isolation I would agree that eating those eggs isn't wrong, but its the circumstances that leads to those chickens existence that make it wrong. All male chicks of the egg laying breeds are killed after they're born because they don't grow fast enough to be profitable for meat. As well as that, the chickens are bred to lay far more eggs than they would naturally which harms their health. I used to have chickens and they all dropped dead after about a year and a half. On the face of it back yard chickens seem ethical but the process that leads to their existence isn't.
Dave Davies
Hi Dave,
You are obviously a kind and respectful man and love the animals in your care. Here are the problems as I see it. Firstly when you sourced your hens, around 50% of the chicks would have been non egg laying males. These would most likely have been killed as soon as they are sexed. For no other crime than being male. Secondly the continual egg laying cycle has tremendous ill effects on the hens. Obviously when an egg is taken the hen will produce another to replace it. Even if kept in best conditions this impacts on thier life span (which should be 12 years plus) many suffering from reproductive system tumors. Lastly think of your own health. An egg is basically cholesterol on a plate. Studies show that high cholesterol is linked to heart disease. Thank you for caring. Rgds Joe
Ultimately the eggs aren't ours to take. You have turned the chickens into a commodity, you wouldn't have them if they didn't give you eggs.
Not for me, but I'm glad you have a conscience unlike some of the trolls on here.
as everyone said above ^^^ but also the most simple thing. its not your egg. stealing the egg from a hen should be as breaking inyo your neighbours house and stealing some food out their cabinets. its not yours. dont take it.
Dave Davies it ain't cool to be eating something that comes from WITHIN another creature!!
Our ancestors actually ate more plants than meat and meat was only an occasional treat for them. So we could have been alive today if our ancestors didn’t eat meat.
They did hunt tho
From an evolutionary perspective, your lifespan is not that relevant. You are an evolutionary "success" as long as you lived long enough to reproduce and pass your genes onto the next generation and the next generation is capable to survive and then do the same. The majority of health related issues that come from humans consuming meat are "age related" diseases and start long after the human being had the time to complete this cycle. As a young adult/teenager you can have a pretty bad diet and still survive without a lot of issues. That's the time when, biologically speaking, you can already have children. By the time you start having issues in your 40's and 50's, your "evolutionary duties" have been completed (you already reproduced and your kids are grown up enough to be able to survive on their own) so from an evolutionary perspective, humans having health issues from eating meat when they are old is irrelevant. It's not helping or harming evolution or survival of the species. People often confuse "what's good/right from an evolutionary perspective" with "what's healthy for a human's longevity". Those 2 concepts are not the same and don't have much in common.
If you care about evolution, as long as you have kids and raise them to be old enough to survive on their own, congratulations, you are a success. Doesn't have much to do with your diet. When it comes to longevity, the majority of research suggests that not consuming a lot of (or any) animal products (especially, red meat), not consuming a lot of sugar, not smoking, not drinking, exercising, having good sleep, and not having a lot of chronic stress in life is the way to go.

lol ofc it's relevant, you couldn't talk so "smartly" as you think you do, so think before you speak...
