Vegan Propaganda with Earthling Ed

Live better for longer
About this episode
In Episode #183 I sit down with the iconic and incredibly eloquent Ed Winters, aka Earthling Ed, to chat about all things veganism. Whether you're vegan or not I think you'll find this conversation interesting and thought provoking.

In this conversation we cover:
- Ed’s time spent at USA universities holding debates
- How he stays calm in his conversations and what he thinks about a more aggressive approach to activism
- Ed’s childhood and journey from being a vegetarian to vegan
- Factory farming - beef, chicken, dairy, eggs
- Our relationship with animals and the ways we devalue them
- Ed’s response to the most common arguments against veganism
- Regenerative agriculture
- Influencers who stop being vegan
- Ed’s response to Joe Rogan and hunting/over-population of wild animals
- Ed’s mission to reduce suffering

and plenty more.

I hope you enjoy it.
