    If you are a vegan that doesn’t speak for the animals, I hope I can inspire you to open conversations with non-vegans. As vegans we have woken up to the systemic oppression of farmed animals, after abstaining from contributing to their suffering we must help others align their morals with their actions.

Most of us were taught to devalue the lives of our victims in order to prevent any guilt or remorse. This learned habit of devaluing nonhuman animals (in order to exploit them, steal from them, and hurt/murder them, guilt-free) leads to human animals developing a "superiority complex". In sharp contrast, (authentic) vegans make the choice to stop devaluing the lives of other animal species, putting an end to the ugly "superiority complex" that non-vegans are still trapped in.
      Have you ever considered your own learned "superiority complex" and how you see non-human animals as being less than yourself? Maybe it's time you did that.

    You're a skilled interviewer/activist! I like seeing videos like this because it makes me feel not as alone with my beliefs. I don't know how we're all okay deciding which animals can live full lives and which can't. It's pretty awful. In some ways, I blame religion because Christianity essentially excuses our animal abuse by purporting that other animals don't have souls or an afterlife. Juxtapose that with Hinduism where cows are sacred and a large portion of Indians are vegetarian.
    It's interesting that his main point is that it will be difficult to convince people to change their habits. It puts the onus on you when, actually, your job is just to provide the information. The onus is on him/others to *do* something with the information. If he chooses not to, he can't hide behind the idea that it's not unethical or harmful (to the animals, to the human body, to the planet). With the information he now knows, he would have to acknowledge that he is acting in ways directly opposite to his spoken values. I think that realization is what he was trying to run away from! He wants to be ethical, but also wants the pleasure of animal meat

      We are not. Every part of our body is that of a herbivore. From our longer intestines, to our eyes, to our legs and body shape, to our jaws. TRUE omnivores don't get heart disease from eating animals. Cholesterol and saturated fat, from animals causes the #1 killer of humans. Mic The Vegan has a good video breaking down every body part and says, The #1 killer of humans is PRETENDING to be omnivores. Dr. Mills Milton also has a video, again breaking down the science of every body part and where it falls on the scale of carnivores, or herbivores and we fall in herbivores EVERY. SINGLE. TIME.
      People are opportunistic omnivores NOT biological omnivores.
      But, let's say that wasn't the case. You still have no justification for eating animals except it tastes good. That's like saying, you rape women because it feels good. It's pure evil. And you will realize that one day. Your words are out there forever and you are on the wrong side of history.
