Thanks for watching! Ed's book 'This is Vegan Propaganda' comes out 6.15.22 but is available for pre-order wherever you buy books. For more on Ed, this episode & to check the show notes, visit: bit.ly/richroll670
Yes, many of the current meat industry's practices are immoral, but eating meat in and of itself is not immoral. What's immoral is telling people who need to consume animal products to survive that doing so is immoral. You have no conscience, and until this very real issue is addressed in a viable way, all you're doing is spewing self-righteous BS.
@@grapevinegoddess ... hey, good luck with your RELIGION. I'd say the same if you were a Scientologist or Mormon or whatever. Believe what you want to believe... Veganism, scientifically, has a much going for it as Scientology or Mormonism or the belief in little green men. But NONE are based on science; they all are completely based on a non-scientific (false) system of 100% pure faith-based belief... Go for it!
I raised beef cattle for 20 years. I had to suppress my compassion and do moral acrobatics to justify it. I am not knocking others for doing so but for me I finally could not ignore the cruelty I played a part in. Recently I decided to embrace compassion and no longer participate in the practice. I sold all of the livestock and have moved to a primarily plant based diet.
@@nevinkuser9892irrelevant, all the same. Calves taken from mother at birth, continually artificially impregnated, until no use after 5 ish years, then killed. Injected hormones. No life for a cow being In a pregnant state for their whole life, just to get milk to sell for humans to drink, when there is so many options.
Thanks to everyone becoming vegan. I'm so proud and thankful of you guys. I understand that it will always be a minority position but it really is pushing the meat prices down. As long as farms are incentivised enough and keep existing, you have my gratitude. I will keep supporting the vegan cause as a meat eater.
@ Jack Daw Based on how Supply and Demand works, I don't think the meat prices are going down, but less and less animals are being slaughtered though. I'm seeing the aisles on the vegan shelves in grocery stores being half empty every time I visit which means more and more vegan products are going to be ordered by the stores overtime while less meat is being produced.
@@andrewmccool5923 yeah the 0.6% in my country is the reason why prices are the way they are... Those darn vegans... Not like people don't have the capital or will to farm. Nah.. they know... Vegans are taking over. Stand strong my vegan brethren.
@@jackdaw6359 At 0.6% there probably wouldn't be a noticeable shift in the prices, especially given how significantly meat is subsidized I'm just pointing out that what you said in your original comment is the opposite of what would actually happen as the percentage of vegans increase over time
I startd the vegan diet after reading Becoming Ultra, which is phenomenal book. I was 21 at the time, and was working out, skiing, surfing, and running pretty often. I’m 5’11 and a lean 155lbs. I dropped to 142, lost almost all muscle mass and felt bloated all the time. i now eat a strict diet that mostly consists of steak, eggs, fish and chicken and feel 10x better. the vegan diet is great for those it works for, but people need to do what’s best for THEIR bodies. i love rich roll and everything he does, but i’m tired of the 22 year old vegan girls shoving their propaganda down my throat while simultaneously eating vegan taco bell😂😅 much love🌈
Thank you for this interview with Ed. Ed is always so respectful and eloquent. I love how he explains that one's emotions and frustration are self-serving. I find it so hard talking about veganism to people and listening to other people's arguments for eating meat etc. It makes me very emotional - mainly sad, but also angry. This is why I don't initiate conversations about veganism - and I try to keep conversations about veganism very short. When people ask me why I'm vegan, I say for the animals. The benefits to the environment and my health are a bonus. I need to watch more of Ed's conversations and learn how to be a better advocate for veganism.
YAY! Being vegan for ten years now, and a personal trainer, athlete and former professional dancer, and an animal rights activist, this makes me so happy. Thanks so much Rich for having Ed on and talking frankly about veganism, not just “plant based” living.
Yep! I'm 69. VEGAN 2.5 yes, and WFPB past 18 months. Startling health improvements after going WFPB: lowered cholesterol 50 pts, lost 55 lbs. START TODAY. I WORK IN HOSPICE, and see lifetime effects of what diet does to the body.
This is just vegan nirvana. Two such positive, well-spoken, intelligent voices for a great cause. Makes me feel a bit depressed that I’m a 20-year vegan but still not confident in my ability to spread the word. Thanks guys.
I relate!! I know this is an older comment but I was reading through this and I've also struggled with lack of confidence when it comes time to step up to the plate and make the morally correct argument for veganism. The more I listen to educators like Ed and other activists the more I retain. It's still taking some time but it's helping.
Catboy I keep it to myself unless anyone asks. I'm eloquent (former actress and teacher, show off and knowledgeable) however don't have the energy for dysfunction and emotional justification. On paper I totally look like a vocal activist. Nah. Good to know your limits and remember whatever you do is helping. Stay true to you.
It will come naturally. I find it easier to ask questions more than feeling like I have to present anything. Everyone deep down has a moral blueprint that says veganism is right. Just letting them find that themselves. Listen to enough conversations of humane hancock and ed earthling and you'll carry enough with you. There's only a handful of reasons you'll run into most of the time. convenience, taste, habit, culture, etc, so it becomes more second-nature overtime to ask the right Q's. Should do your absolute best to speak in a way that they don't become defensive, conversation is as good as over at that point, and may even strengthen their feelings towards meat-eating. Just relaxed, questioning, sharing your true experience and thoughts in the simplest way possible.
@@LaSorciereFeuillue and your comment is 2 months old and I'm seeing it LOL. I just went vegan at 66, I feel like you do, I was going to tell cat-boy to purchase The Elements of Style, then let it all out in black and white! Thanks for being a teacher.
Hi there, If you do not mind me sharing; abstinence (self-control), exercise, fresh air, nutrition, rest, trust in GOD and water are the laws of health, which if adhered to, will help one live longer. Touching on nutrition, i would recommend opting for an organic, well-planned, unrefined and untempered with vegan diet (preferably consuming fruits, nuts and vegetables in their raw form so as not to denature or destroy the life-forces and enzymatic activities) consisting of organic fruits, vegetables, legumes, nuts, seeds and whole-grains which provides mankind with ultimate health and longevity, i believe, based on experience too. If 'properly planned', it provides the system with the required calcium, carbohydrates, essential vitamins, fats, fibre, minerals, protein and water required to make good blood and enjoy health. Moreover, i would also recommend to consume colloidal silver (avoid consuming too much according to gathered information) or colloidal gold if one can (avoiding purchasing from other countries as it may deplete in quality during transportation based on gathered information too). If you are one that grows indoor plants or would like to, i would recommend to opt for organic, vegan and peat-free compost, as well as the use of organic liquid feed that does not contain sea weed due to radiation in the seas, i believe. Please have a look at the following video that i believe will be of great help: ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-Zklb59V5CeM.html Please Note: * Food shortage will lead to a civil war in America. * Climate change will lead to Sun-day laws.

Whole food plant based nutrition and lifestyle medicine saved my life. I have been animal product free for two years. Wish I would have ate this way from birth. I was 320lbs three years ago now I am 125lbs. No doctor ever told me about food for healing.
Thanks for giving Ed another platform. He really is on the frontlines and at the height of communication skill in the field. His use of the Socratic method is masterful. And It takes so much courage to speak on animal rights.

Wow! I am so glad Rich is helping Ed get an even bigger platform. I learned about him about 4 years ago and heard him speak at an animal rights conference. He is so warm and friendly!
I'm 100% with Ed on Zoos probably being my beginning to going vegan. One day I just asked why would we take animals out of their natural habitats just to cage them for us to look at them. It made me sick and start questioning things.

You have quite the archaic understanding of modern zoos. If you truly love animals and the planet you should support the work of your local zoos. Modern zoos main goal is species conservation, rescue, and breeding endangered animals to increase the gene pool and save animals from extinction. The animals in zoos are not plucked from the wild for us to look at. They are usually rescued, or saved from private collections. The only time an animal is ever taken from the wild is if it is needed for genetic diversity to save the species from extinction, and even then it is rarely done, because wild born animals do not adapt to zoo life. Then there is the major role they play in education and awareness raising, and real fund raising for conservation. A lot more goes on behind the scenes than you realise.
@@themudpit621 why is extinction such a bad thing? It's actually only a concept that humans can comprehend, what should matter is the experience of the individuals.
Big fan of Ed. The issue I see with peers that deter them from embracing veganism, is the idea that they don’t make choices based on right and wrong, but what is currently socially justifiable. And it feels as if there is no hope in convincing some one to switch a diet, when they fundamentally allow social standards to dictate their morality.
Maybe the answer is to not bother trying to convince anyone of anything. Maybe just attempt to plant some seeds, and then move on. Whether those seeds sprout is entirely up to the individual themselves. But I totally agree with everything else you said:)
Became vegan at 56 , almost 11 years ago, activist for several now. Ed has always been an inspiration. I frequently listen to him on the way to activism events to get in the right mindset. Great interview. Valuable reset too. His book is excellent! Recommend 🌱💪

... the fact is many get sick and their health deteriorates on plants alone. Just look at long term vegans who have to eat animal products again to regain health.
i couldn't watch Earthlings. at 16 i worked in a slaughter house. i've seen enough. i got it. some of us it takes a lot more exposure than others. some people seem to be born getting it. some will never get it. there's literally something wrong with some human minds.
Thanks for sharing your experience. I agree that some people have no empathy for vulnerable beings. We see the trolls on vegan channels seemingly proud to be apathetic, which in my opinion shows a very dark emotional state. It’s pretty sad that some people go through life with no interest in helping the innocent.
I've been vegan for 2 1/2 years and I do ultra marathons and Ironmans. It's an easy diet/lifestyle if you do some research and don't listen to the clowns of the world and listen to people like Rich & Ed. Loved this ep
You’re awesome! Im sure your inspiring people around you and proving to those who doubt veganism that it’s a healthy lifestyle if focused on primarily whole foods.

Heck yeah vegan athletes. Rock on! I'm really into bouldering and I attribute my fast progress and my endurance to the diet. Feeling well, performing well Don't mind that troll, what a sad person lol
@Bladerunner2043 10 years of plant based vegan lifestyle and my triglycerides level is low, as are other lipid levels. No eczema and I started loosing my hair way before I became a vegan. My low hdl level is due to my low ldl level. At the habitat for humanity where I volunteer, I can perform the physical work all day long without a need for lunch, whereas my omnivore colleagues wander about what to have for lunch an hour before lunchtime.
@Bladerunner2043 I am never hungry outside of the two meals I have everyday. Due to the concept of calorie density, I have never done portion control and it has served me well. Count your blessings that, for some event in the universe, you were born a human being instead of seeing yourself on receiving end of a saw blade through your neck. Any concerns about the environment?
@Bladerunner2043 Gorillas are much bigger than humans so, of course, they will have bigger digestive tract than us. However, human’s digestive tract is much larger than a carnivore’s of comparison size. Like herbivores, human beings naturally produce amylase, the enzyme needed to break down and digest carbohydrates. The rapid development of brain development was due to bioavailability of nutrients from plants as well as the meat after the humans learned to cook.
Two of my heroes together. I hope to meet you both and strengthen my voice to add to the conversation. I've started a book club with three friends who've all gone vegan throughout the span of our friendship, most recently, my vegetarian friend who finally answered her moral question in the first two chapters of your book, Ed. Got my first marathon as a sober Vegan Runner coming up in April, Rich! So. Much. Love. ☮️🌱

I grew up on a family farm and was traumatized by what I witnessed there. I know what happens on factory farms. I feel that that information needs to be shown to EVERYBODY to wake us up.
Me too. I learned to normalize those harsh treatments on animals but later I adopted a bitch and that relationship changed me, I started watching animal exploitation philosophical debates and slaughterhouse videos, 2 years being vegan and never going back.
@@Winona493 yeah it's weird to write and pronounce the word without thinking in a bad way. But it is precisely because of the scheme of denigration and mockery towards animals that humans put together to reduce any desire to consider them more than simple property and slaves.
@Paul Semmens where is your information coming from? More like felt truth, am I right? The impact could be higher if egocentric nitwits like you would reflect their actions, neglect their conformation bias and act accordingly.

@@pepper419 curious to know exactly what crap you're talking about? Are you talking about falling for the advocating of the humane treatment of animals? Or falling for how this change in lifestyle has been scientifically proven to dramatically improve the health of humans?
Watched Game Changers two years ago and both my mom & I went Vegan immediately. She’s 78 & I’m 54 :) Best decision ever! Wish I’d done it years ago. It’s difficult to talk with people, otherwise kind people, about the treatment of animals, the destruction of the waterways, etc. Instead many prefer to willfully ignore the suffering their food choices cause. Thank you for interviewing Ed, his advice was helpful!

You speak about the difficulty of a child to in effect challenge parents by going vegan. For me, it was the opposite; when I went vegan I had two boys, 14 and 18, and a spouse. The youngest one became vegan at 21, the older one eats little meat and is vegan-accepting but has not taken the final steps, and the spouse is now an ex who is closed minded and impervious. I am now 64 ( lawyer for 17 years, educator, parent) and believe that one of the best things that I have ever done in my life is having figured out why veganism is the moral way to live.
@@DiogenesNephewor, instead, is it because they choose to eat the flesh of an animal and not even consider that they may be causing unimaginable suffering for no reason?

Excited to watch this one. I've been looking forward to a more vegan-centered episode again. I get that the topic can get stale (especially when you've been at it as long as Rich) but I'm really happy this one happened. :)
I think Rich has also become vegan for morality and sustainability after initially beiing for health and well-being. He's had James Aspey on and even Ingrid Newkirk from PETA. But I still agree. Such a great combo
Hi there, If you do not mind me sharing; abstinence (self-control), exercise, fresh air, nutrition, rest, trust in GOD and water are the laws of health, which if adhered to, will help one live longer. Touching on nutrition, i would recommend opting for an organic, well-planned, unrefined and untempered with vegan diet (preferably consuming fruits, nuts and vegetables in their raw form so as not to denature or destroy the life-forces and enzymatic activities) consisting of organic fruits, vegetables, legumes, nuts, seeds and whole-grains which provides mankind with ultimate health and longevity, i believe, based on experience too. If 'properly planned', it provides the system with the required calcium, carbohydrates, essential vitamins, fats, fibre, minerals, protein and water required to make good blood and enjoy health. Moreover, i would also recommend to consume colloidal silver (avoid consuming too much according to gathered information) or colloidal gold if one can (avoiding purchasing from other countries as it may deplete in quality during transportation based on gathered information too).

I’ve just finished it. I’ve been a fan for a while and have heard many of these arguments from him before but it’s so good to have many of the arguments in B&W.
@@villetakoo Common logic. The more people that go vegan the more big ag benefits. And you think Ed supports his campaign through donations. Ed just happens to be funded by Blue Horizon Ventures. They also fund pesticide and pharmaceutical companies.

I became vegan over 4 years ago and met Ed almost immediately after. His calm but persistent demeanor has kept me engaged in the struggle with the misinterpretations of what being vegan means and the environmental concerns regarding animal agriculture. Animal welfare is so much more important to me than it ever was and I have Ed to thank.
I became a vegan for moral reasons but ended up curing my type 2 diabetes. My hba1c (a blood test that measures your average blood sugars over the past three months) is 5.1 which is absolutely normal, without any diabetic medication. So considering I can do the right thing by living creatures and also become much healthier there are only benefit upon benefit for veganism. I haven’t even touched on the environmental benefit. Love benefits everyone and everything especially yourself.
@@davidlynch9049 I think most of us had terrible diets because that's what our parents raised us up with. Its not our fault that we didn't know better as children because that is all we knew at the time. The biggest influencers in our lives are our parents during the early years when it comes to religion, way of living, and etc. Once we learn about different views, its when we have the potential to make better choices. When we 100% know and understand that we've been taught the wrong things and make a change to fix them, we shouldn't regret it and start living a better life.
I became vegan first to reverse my diabetes and fatty liver,, which I have done (5 months vegan). My main reason now through education is for moral and for the animals. ED is now my mentor
I bought and began reading Vegan Propaganda (Kindle), while watching this interview in segments over a couple of days. It is extremely well expressed, with lots of relevant detail. Read it, and you will have your guns loaded for discussions, for confrontations.

"Have your guns loaded for confrontations" - that's an interesting metaphor, coming from someone who claims to espouse non violence and compassion - and says alot about the sort of people who choose to be vegan and their true motivation for it.

Regarding regenerative farming - does the equation change much if it goes along with the need for people to eat far less "protein" (from pasture raised animals), and more plants? I grew up in a grain farming family in the midwest - and see first hand just how broken the system is. All the farmground in the mid-west is seemingly used to grow useless crops that are killing society - high fructose corn syrup, genetically modified wheat, soybean oil - white corn for more doritos... it's all so sad. The narrative that I heard growing up is that the farmers in the mid-west feed the world, but in reality - we have ruined the health of people that will take generations to undo.
Thanks for your input Sarah. From the studies earthling Ed often resorts to, it’s something like 73% of farmland is used for livestock feed and for livestock. Over half of crops grown are fed to animals, so those industries can fatten their wallets while exploiting these innocent animals, as well as exploiting communities and even their customers getting sick from too much animal products. I agree the system is so flawed. The soil is basically “dead”, so they use chemical nitrogen fertilizers to make crops grow. There’s a great documentary on Netflix called Kiss the Ground about how tilling the earth is ruining the soil and releasing large amounts of carbon.
@@caliskaterboy626 agree on "Kiss the Ground" documentary on Netflix. These guys should have a conversation with the Kiss the Ground farmers & scientists on better solutions regardless of diet.
I’d be fascinated to hear more about how Ed feels on a day to day basis. I was especially engaged hearing him say his family is not vegan even after years of him advocating on a large scale. I wonder how frustrating that is. That’s become very challenging for me, seeing no change among family and friends after years of being the “good” vegan
And why should his family go vegan? If my became a born again cristian, or a flat earther or any other sort of protagonist I would not expected to turn my family just because there family and vice versa. I wouldn't imagine your family are literally trying to shove chicken legs down your throat so maybe just back off.
@@utube1818 back off of who and what? Not sure why your comment was so emotional, and neither I nor Ed are shoving anything down anyone's throat either, so not sure your point. But I asked the question because it's his life's work dedicated to saving animals from suffering and advocating for veganism, and yet those (possibly) closest to him still don't do what he's advocating for on a large scale. I wonder how that affects him. And it's different than being a flat earther because whether you think the earth is flat doesn't stem from your values and doesn't affect anyone. Ed has passionate values and sees animals being eaten as causing suffering, so others' lives are at stake. But many born again christians do try to get others to see things the way they do too. It's normal
It is one thing to examine your own priorities and behaviors and to take satisfaction from living in harmony with your morals. It is another entirely to base your own happiness on your ability to change the priorities and behaviors of others! It is wonderful to be a resource to other people but you can’t choose who will want to listen and learn. It seems that Ed has clearly got this in mind and hopefully is happy with the impact he has had and motivated by what good he can do each day.
Read ed's book earlier this year! This dude has done so much for the animals, and really happy to see that you got him on the podcast Rich! Such a rational and calm voice in the movement. Love that you wore the "TRUTH" shirt for this one too 😜 On a personal note, Rich you have been such an inspiration for me. Can't thank you enough for the podcast and the positive influence you've had on my life. Since I started listening I was able to overcome my addictions to alcohol and cannabis, and now I am training to do a half marathon, half ironman, and full ironman over the next couple of years. Can't thank you enough dude. Stay strong and keep up the great work! 💪🏻 Love the new thumbnails btw! 😊
Thoroughly enjoyed watching/listening to this conversation and it gave me encouragement on how to speak to non-vegans. You both are fantastic ambassadors for moral causes and I am thankful such intelligent people like yourselves are on RU-vid. God bless you both. 😊🇨🇦🙌🏻

I was hoping that British vegan advocacy would eventually reach a wider audience, but I thought I would never see it. Well done Ed! And a major shout out to Rich for giving Ed the opportunity. I’ve been Vegan for 8 years and have been tested. With the tools your book and content provide will certainly help people transition more easily.
I became a vegetarian at 33. But it took me until 62 to become a vegan after many failed attempts. Don't lose heart no matter how many times you fail at your attempt to become a vegan. You'll get there eventually!
@@veganix6757 I became vegan 3 years already , the reason I became vegan because it cured my gallbladder cancer that killed me so bad for many years , now I'm not gonna eat meat or any food that has parasite for the rest of my life , vegan life is so amazing, I realized people get cancer all because of parasite, the only way to kill them is starving them ( food) and provide them the environment uncomfort for them to live or build there nest ( herb medicine ) cause herb didn't harm our kidney or liver

This is a wonderfully thoughtful, balanced interview, an intelligent discussion of important topics - thanks to both of you for the inspirational work you each do, Rich and Ed!
Mass corporations are happy they have a guy marketing for them for free...soon enough you can get your ration of factory made vegan food and ban of people who speak out against that...
The instant the topic of veganism comes up, people whose diets comprise of donuts, cheeseburgers and mountain dew will suddenly become nutrition experts who have a friend of a friend who nearly died on a vegan diet.
They also only get animal products from their local farm owned by their kind old uncle who gives all the animals a long happy life of rolling hills and daily massages. Just lies we tell ourselves to alleviate the guilt associated with supporting clear and unnecessary animal harm. "We have to eat animals", "it's too expensive not too", "it's unhealthy not to eat animals", "the animals have long and happy lives". None of it is true but too many seems to fall back on these "justifications". The real reason people eat animals is that they like the taste, they are used to the habit, or they are scared of not conforming socially. Very weak rationalisations.
Answer this. Why do people who claim to practice "veganism" use animal products needlessly for entertainment? My theory is they derive more worth from the claim than the actual practice. "Veganism" debunks itself by the fact no one actually wants to practice it, they just want others to believe they do.
Earthling Ed, you are so amazing. Thank you for all you do. I went vegan nearly 2 years ago after being Vegetarian for 30 years. I had never really thought about or looked into the dairy industry, which seems incredibly naive, now. I try to give people grace because of this, because I might be speaking with someone who, unbeknownst to them, will eventually become vegan, even if they roll their eyes at it right now. That used to be me. I changed. Change happens. But there is also the recognition that, contrary to what Ed says (and I wish were true), not everybody wants to create a better world. Not everybody cares about animals as beings who suffer. Not everybody has empathy. There is an alarming section of the population who could not care less and who rejoice in cruelty for cruelty's sake. There was an episode on Impractical Jokers where one of the jokers (I believe it was Murr), was posing as a waiter at a restaurant. He says the special of the day is (something to the effect of) lambs who experienced extra suffering and torture. Guess what they ordered? The lamb with extra suffering. Sick. So, yeah, unfortunately, some people will just never give a shit. Our society is truly sick.
Veg 48 years, vegan 31 & my whole family joined over decade ago, also most of my friends & even clients now. There is no way around it - we need to evolve & as long as we hurt other earthlings humanity will not thrive or be healthy or happy.
Thanks for having Ed on the podcast. He's been a huge inspiration to so many of us out there. Because of Ed, I want to get more involved with animal rights activism! Our behaviors in regards to animals are destructive to everything we humans claim to care about.
Ed is one of a kind. He is so amazing for the vegan movement and educating the people who will listen. (Also, his comebacks have helped me win loads of arguments lol)

“Nothing we do lacks a certain kind of downstream impact” is so true. That is why as humans we have the intellect for conscious choice. I am close to being a vegetarian still eating the occasional meal of fowl and fish but moving to a lesser amount more often. I have wondered if I could give up my sparingly consumption, as well as diary and eggs, which is why I am here to listen to this podcast. I tend to buy organic products including diary and free range egg production but I do know that there is an impact toward “others” even in these choices. A wonderful and enlightening conversation with these two men and the issues they discussed for all of us to consider. I had no idea of what those arguments were in greater depth such as regenerative practices. We do convince ourselves in our positions, don’t we?
Thanks for being open minded. Can I recommend watching Ed's documentary 'Land of Hope and Glory'? There's also Milked (a new one about the dairy industry in New Zealand), Cowspiracy (which covers all areas), Dominion (covers all areas but mostly in Australia), and Seaspiracy (covers fishing). I strongly suspect that afterwards you will find the motivation to cut the last few bits out! Dairy in particular is a horribly cruel and violent industry, and dairy is terrible for our health - for women it can cause much higher risk of breast cancer, and of colon cancer for men, as well as correlating with higher risk of heart disease. When we can just buy oat milk or almond milk, or get grated vegan cheese (which I promise can be really good!) or vegan yoghurt, why not watch a few documentaries and give it a go for a month, see how you get on?
For me I had to just jump in and do it to know that I could do it. I recommend giving it a go for a month and see how you feel. It's a lot less daunting when you take it in bite sized chunks.
@@swarming1092 Thanks for the documentary suggestions. I’ll see if I can locate them and am interested in what you’ve had to say. I decided to cut out dairy. I’ve had vegan cheese and know of Sri-mu from Rich Roll’s podcast, as it’s his wife’s company. I’m heading in the vegan direction and it’s only a matter of finding foods and recipes. I can put out the effort which I’m willing to do. I’ve lost weight and that helps motivate me besides the moral and environmental reasons. I appreciate you taking time to write a response and saw I had notifications, so thanks again. It’s nice to see other people caring about the vegan way.
i wish i could speak with an iota of the composure, confidence, intelligence, stature and focus that Ed exhibits here. what a talented intellect and orator, who brings such a logical though-process to a topic, similarly to politics, religion, etc, that can often become difficult to discuss without emotions taking over and convoluting the facts and messaging.
Not a full vegan or whole foods plant based guy yet but thats not because im not 100% convinced. Just having a hard time making the jump! Hope my pallet changes soon. Thanks Rich and Ed for helping to keep people learning!
Find thousands of simple, excellent recipes online and seek out all the incredible dairy and cheese substitutes. My husband and I just found "JUST Egg" egg substitute and it is AMAZING. And many of the faux meats and cheezes are excellent too. It's a learning curve but it just gets easier and easier the more you learn and experiment. Keep going! 🌱💞🌱
No meat for 12 years half my life. I have grown fine healthy and have a beautiful plant based healthy 1 year old baby who has never been sick. Whole food plant based diet will change your life and change how you view the world. If your planing on trying it, I believe in you and am proud. It’s hard to break away from the norm, but you got it💪
@@JM-lz1oi I don't have to be careful now. I'm seventy and still healthy with a long way to go thanks. Unless I get into a car accident or something I dare say I'll get along ok.
What an inspiration. Restaurant, fish & chip shops, a whole sanctuary, a media production company, a book, a thriving RU-vid channel - Ed and his team make me so hopeful for our future.
@@grapevinegoddess Earthling Ed has a chain of vegan fish and chip shops called the No Catch Co, it's tofish. I'm not sure how you can see my comment of admiration for the work Ed and his team do and be confused about this lol
@@kin.9133 Ok. I was not aware his fish n chips shops were for tofish, or fish substitute. I still have issues with his work. I dont appreciate it when vegan vilify eating meat when some people need to for medical reasons.
@@wobblybobengland It depends on many factors like what type of meat, how frequently it is consumed and in what amounts... etc. It is too simplistic to say that eating any meat causes cancer, and we do not have any such evidence for you to be saying that. You're also conveniently ignoring the fact that as I keep needing to repeat to you, not everyone can be vegan. Being vegan poses a health threat/medical problem for some, and I count myself among those people because I LIVED THROUGH IT. You didn't.. so how about you show a little conscience and respect. The Dalai Lama counts himself among those, too, as he must eat meat for the same medical reasons. If you want to talk about medical health issues you need to be prepared to talk about ALL of them, not just the incidents of cancer related to too much red meat consumption. And if you're going to try to present this world with a viable solution, it will need to include the arrangements necessary for those who must eat meat... including the fact that toxic-minded vegans need to stop vilifying those who need meat in their diet.
This talk was excellent, ther was no mention of dangerous herbicides as I am concerned about Roundup( glyphosate) used on vegetables, Wheat and fruits, known to be bad for human health as well as anti nutrients found in plants and fruits. Can someone one advise on this, I can't afford organic, the price difference is too much. Thanks 🙏🏼
Veganic (vegan organic) farming is absolutely the way we need to go in this world. I just want to give you some encouragement, I'm a low income single mum with 2 kids but I manage to buy around 70% organic by prioritising that. I don't buy new clothes, gadgets etc I also try to grow some of my food at my allotment. It can be done with good budgeting and prioritising. X
Recently I joined the Food Revolution Summit hosted by John Robbins and Ocean Robbins (son and grandson of Irv Robbins, one of the co-founder of the gigantic luxurious ice-cream company Baskin-Robbins) and their sprouting practices on daily basis kinda open up my eyes to more of the possibility! The Robbins family live in the cold Canada and Doug Evans lives on desert, all of them sprouting their food very regularly =) And Ocean Robbins did share about using baking soda with some water mix to rinse off most of the pesticide which stick on the fresh plant produce. Hope this would be helpful
@@JoanKSX It's not just the pesticides. The use of chemicals in general has permanent effects on the produce. Reduced nutrient content, and generally higher anti nutrient and fiber content because of the GMO origin.
Blah blah blah and all that's said and done confirms yes IT IS vegan propaganda. Been there.....been unhealthy there....now far healthier and carnivore as where my ancestors for millions before me. Love your inspiring work Rich ...but I'm not buying this story.
I'm with you. I tried so many things to fix my health. Now carnivore and happy. It's a shame that people like then are calling us immoral. We want to be healthy.
This is excellent. I cannot help but see the parallel between human life and "choice". The slaughterhouse and all. We recognize the individual personality in all species, right? "Choose life" for all. So much beauty in each.
Wow was just about to contact Rich on getting this chap Ed on as he did really ascinating interview with Aaron Bastani last week. Cant wait to watch this as he sticks really well to reasoned facts and leaves out emotional. Top bloke !
@@neiltimms9380 Yes Neil and other Aaron interviews are very good too hes a very well informed and calm interviewer. Also I am a big fan of Novara Media of which Aaron appears on regularly.
Went vegan at 2011 and the journey is really one of communication. Thanks Ed and Rich for further expanding us to know more. And I still have friends of all kinds of diets. We agree to disagree. And it's okay.
This is such a beautiful and humane conversation! Im so impressed with both your capacities of compassionate interaction and communication. Ive learned so much on so many levels!
thinking about Ed and Rupert brings a tear to my eye. so sweet. i assume rupert has passed on, so rest in power. one little hamster made such a huge difference!
Thanks for another interesting podcast! I have never heard of Ed before. Does he talk about (in his book) the history of agriculture, food culture, colonialism, and Veganism of Europe? Does he talk about the much older plant based diets of Asia and the spiritual practices they're tied to were colonized by the English, or the fact that things like vertical farming (which he says is a "great prospect") are very old farming methods of non-European cultures in the Americas and how they were affected by colonization? Euro-centric society calls it "vegan food" and everyone else calls it "food". If it's truly a moral issue, I'd love to hear more about how the lack of morals in west civ has lead "us" down this path of darkness in the first place and the implications of such history on the "vegan movement" today. One of the biggest flaws in the conversation of veganism is that :we: are trying to work within the confines of a broken system. Large scale agriculture is not sustainable for plants, animals, nor environment. This is a long known fact, yet it is ignored because Capitalism. If you want to discuss morals, it seems to me to be a completely immoral way to treat the earth and all its inhabitants. The lack of awareness is astonishing. Humans truly are odd.
If you have a Grocery Outlet in your area, you’ve got to check them out too! They’re expanding. Vegan meats and cheese that are around $8-10 at Whole Foods are usually $2-4! It’s never been easier being vegan.
