    In today’s video I explore what Prime Minister contenders Rishi Sunak and Lizz Truss have said about animal farming and how the recommendation from the government’s own scientific advisors to reduce animal product consumption is being ignored.

    When people say “shouldn’t the government be the ones to do something?” - the answer is of course yes. But they’re not going to, at least not until we make the changes ourselves.
    At this point, the scientific literature showing that we need to shift towards a plant-based food system has become overwhelming in both its volume and clarity. Even the government’s own scientific advisors are telling us that we need to reduce our animal product consumption. However, disturbingly, our elected officials are still refusing to take any action and have even spoken about increasing animal farming production instead.
    The reality is, governments won’t implement the necessary changes required unless we make it seem politically acceptable. This means that we have to be the ones to make the changes ourselves as if we don’t, our agricultural system will continue to destroy our environment and cause suffering to billions of animals at the same time.

    It saddens me how small is the amount of EE subs. He is so eloquent, so argumentative and gentle to everyone. He is my fave vegan influencer and public person. His every sentence has a point that none of the omnivores can overrule. He's the best debater. So, it's so strange that there are not more plant based and vegan supporters who would subscribe.

    Sadly, humans don't have a great track record when it comes to adopting lifestyle changes on the basis of science and reason. However, we've seen time and again how technological developments can lead to huge cultural change. For this reason, I am cautiously optimistic that cell-based meat and dairy will spark the food revolution we, the animals, and the planet, so desperately need. Just as electric vehicles will soon make the internal combustion engine obsolete, when non-animal meat is cheaper, healthier, safer and tastes the same as animal flesh, it's game over for animal agriculture. Once that happens, culture around animal rights will drastically change, because people will no longer need to tie themselves in logical knots to justify their own hypocrisy.

    Ed if you read this, have you ever considered promoting any of the veganism related European citizen initiatives on your channel? For instance there is one running right now called End The Slaughter Age but it is sadly only gaining very little traction. If you could promote this and get all your viewers from the EU to sign the petition (which will then be reviewed by the European commission, so it has meaningful impact unlike most online petitions), it would very much help the petition get to 1 million signatures. Please consider it!

      I got into a Reddit spat about this issue when the article in the guardian was first published. The view most people supported was that we as individuals shouldn’t have to do anything because large corporations aren’t doing anything.
      It’s so pathetic to see so many people convince themselves they have no responsibility because they’re just a poor little powerless individual. That attitude really pisses me off.
      Many people are so focussed on what they could lose and how it’s unfair on them personally, very few see that it’s an opportunity to do the right thing for animals and future generations of humans. It’s depressing and frustrating.
