***** The fact that you claim we should eat meat in moderation only shows that you are not willing to give up meat. Moderation is also a meaningless term that can be abused for interpretation which is the case 99% of the time. It is also not just the fact that people eat too much meat cuz they have access to it, but also promote high meat consumption. Popular diets like paleo or atkins latch people onto very high meat diets, fear of diabetes and also just the fact that people are addicted to meats (especially processed meats) so they look for any excuse to not change or flat out ignore it. Meat is also unnecessary and bad for the environment and our health. If we can live longer lives with less disease and less animal suffering and to do otherwise would be irrational and just signs of addiction. Also oddly enough i only see vegans promoting the reduction of meat consumption, i don't see other meat eaters informing fellow meat eaters on the dangers of processed meat or overconsumption unless there is a vegan in the room. Here where i live in the radio i hear sometimes commercials of a meat company saying meat is known to be unhealthy, but claim theirs is healthy, because it is locally grown meat. Like there is no way to make meat healthy just like you can't make an apple that has no carbs.

The "ethical" farmer didn't do too bad. But someone needs to inform him there isn't enough land, marginal or not, to grow the amount of animals to feed the world at current rate of consumption. Besides economics, that is part of the reason for factory farms.

First, selfishness is not an actual thing that exists. it's an abstract conceptual tool of a highly evolved social system. Like justice, it's nothing more than an idea. But, following your moral judgement, you should starve because plants are both alive and sentient. Unless you think that some forms of life are worth less than others. In which case, what makes your ideals any better than a meat-eaters? Second, the 'cost' you complain of is not an issue with meat-eaters- it's with politicians, policy makers, and lobbyists. I get discounts from my insurance company based on life choices, if you don't, maybe consider a different company. Let's not go down the bullshit 'health' road. Eating a bunny has never caused someone heart disease. CHRONIC OVER-CONSUMPTION does. So, let's be clear. Your arguments have been based on false ideas, incorrect blame placing, and overemotional wispy willy-nilly moral imperatives born from the evolutionary social ether. Let's face it, you don't like animal eaters. It's ok. You're an American, and you have the right to dislike whatever you please.

Andréas Remis PLANT BASED VEGAN It's, at best, only KIND OF factual. Let's get a little bit closer to fact: The meat, dairy, and fish industries are seriously changing current ecological systems, to the extent that environmental pressures have caused a dramatic decline in some species (and possibly extinction). The question is, so what? Do we have a responsibility to do everything in our power to freeze the evolutionary process in its tracks? If we do, where does that imperative come from? Either it's plucked at will from the ether of your mind, or you must posit some cause for its independent existence, God maybe? If it's true that going vegan is best for the environment, then it follows that the last 3.5 billion years has been a sub par existence for all animal species and that ecological systems do not and cannot benefit from the existence of predators...except that's not true is it? It's patently false, therefore your statement that "going vegan is what is best for the environment" is either an overemotional reaction, a lie, or just spoken from ignorance. It's not like we're the first species to radically change the environment. Did you think the previous global warming and cooling cycles happened by magic? Now if you'd like to change your proposition to one that states that chronic over-consumption and mass-industrialization of animals is ultimately harmful to all, then we can agree. But the extremist view that humans must be vegan is simple nonsense.

@thetravelinghermit

8 жыл бұрын

Andréas Remis PLANT BASED VEGAN You are so totally wrong. Agreeing that mass industrialization is bad is not the same as promoting veganism. There's a whole gamut between those extremes. Veganism seeks the total cessation of the killing of animals for food, and animal byproducts (and most seek to avoid any exploitation of animals). That is not even kind of, sort of, maybe what I said. On the next count: We are not the only animals that "mass breed and kill animals". Another totally false statement. Ants do it too. They herd and harvest honeydew from aphids, they intentionally over cultivate fungi (which destroys local flora and fauna populations), and at least one species herds and farms beetles for their protein-rich chitinous scales. We are NATURALLY omnivores. Even if you choose to live vegan, you are an omnivore. You were born to consume calories, even in the form of bunny flesh. The latest trend in warming may not be due to human intervention. The warming cycle began prior to human industrialization. This is the first time global climate change has been studied, so the jury is still out. Should we seek cessation of mass industrialization of foods, sure. Veganism, what?

Lee Ryan Of course it is possible to eat meat and be spiritual. The vast majority of the most holy of men are omnivores, Jesus himself included. Peter was a fisherman. John the Baptist ate butter (dairy) and honey (also crickets, etc., to my recollection). Abraham had his sheep, etc. The common judges of Israel in ancient times ate meat that was offered in temples as a sacrifice, etc. And quite a few vegans I have talked to on KZread are definitely anything BUT godly. Being spiritual has to do with living in such a way that you will be completely comfortable, at peace in the presence of God, angels, etc. It has very little to do with what you eat. Now, if you are a murderer, torture-murderer, a pedophile, a rapist, an adulterer, involved in witchcraft, theft, criminal activities, deception of any kind, drunkenness, filthy language, homosexuality, bestiality, cruelty, wicked imaginings, pornography, drug use, lustfulness/masturbation, gossiping, backbiting, worldliness, lack of mercy/compassion, materialism, starting fights/being contentious, taking advantage of others, idleness, coveting, dishonoring parents, pride, vandalism, cheating, selfishness, etc., yeah, these kinds of things are directly related to morality, and they DO matter to God, aka, they definitely impact our spiritual selves in a negative way if we indulge. Of course we are involved in good things, but lets be real here. Eating meat is not a sin, never has been, never will be. Animals were given to man for meat and for raiment, from Adam until now. ...Godly men are not gluttonous, however, esp. if they are VERY holy men-prophets, apostles, etc. And it is VERY easy to eat too much meat-few people eat too much plant foods. The fiber in plant foods lets your body know when to stop eating. Where do you folks get such kooky ideas about "carnivores" or, more accurately, human omnivores being evil??? REALLY?

We would have to resort to euthanizing cattle just to preserve pastures and farmland.

Your question is raising in a different story, Firstly, when you say " if you freeze.." we are talking about naturally it is already biological designed by God, not by artificial generic engineering by human" but also, maybe I can answer your question if you freeze a human to a point that he is dead then his nervous system has been dead, then he is no longer to be existed just like a corps, may be u can argue that he still has a soul inside his dead body like Buddhism think, but nobody can prove that until now. For that I do not have evidence or proof to say, but for Christianity, they think when a human die, they return to the earth and no longer to be existed or take in another form for another generation as in Buddhism think. Then to my opinion without religious belief involved then once a nervours system is being frezze forever, then that dead body is no longer to be sentient. Hope it helps.

@grantkohler7612

9 жыл бұрын

Yep, it's quite possible he did it on a whim and a prayer with little research other than word of mouth. He may have overlooked a vegetable group or two, be they fruits, or grains, or beans, leafy greens, etc. that weren't part of his diet before. I was thinking on vitamin and mineral imbalances as to his diet. There may also be a form of system shock due to rapid changes in his eating routine - he may have had several while looking for a system that worked for his situation. We can say that most likely had two such occasions, switching to a moderate vegetarian with dairy, and then going vegan. Also there was the matter of some form of pre-existing mental conditions, so there is the mind/body equation to keep in mind. For me, the mind/body equation has only occurred when I desired to show I was unhappy with the world, oh, and also when I was sick with fever or cold I'd take appropriate medicines for it but deliberately ignore the symptoms, because in my line of work, if you don't work - you don't get paid. There may have also been unexpected consequences with any proscribed or self medications if any were being used. There are instances of certain foods altering the effectiveness (aka reactions) of medications upon the body. I think the last point of possible contention is a form of the second point. This is that going on a diet doesn't work where as altering what and how you eat, aka your current diet, does. I don't understand much about this except that it has been explained to me as a matter of point of view, and is related to mental addiction (the mind desires it) as opposed to physical addiction (the body expects the arrival of the chemical and instinctively reacts to offset that chemical's effects on the body's natural state of awareness) Basically, he still wanted the meat that he wasn't allowing himself to have, so it was mentally a form of self punishment, which causes undue stress, which is a known catalyst for ailments. I don't think there is any luxury to a vegan diet, except maybe the luxury of owning land to grow your own. My two problems with the subject of not eating meat products are the commercialism aspect, and that our ecology requires us to eat the body parts of other organisms. To this second point, we have to kill to remain alive, any argument against killing our food requires deliberate willful ignorance of this simple fact, so I don't find this as a valid basis unless you are waiting for your vegetables to live out their natural lives as well. To my first problem, here goes. Vegetable bacon, Tofurky, and other products that are deliberately artificial meats and artificial dairy. How much have the vegetables been processed to become as animal meat without having been in an animal? At least give it a different name, and eliminate the inference of meat upon the vegan diet. Again, this is a matter of salesmanship and greed, and not, at least initially, part of the vegan or vegetarian cultures. So, as long as a person doesn't show a mindset encouraging my two pet peeves on this subject, then I've got no beef with them [sic]. There are perfectly healthy ways of being vegetarian and vegan as well as omnivorous, we haven't yet evolved to live forever, even the vegetables haven't evolved this much. Those with longer lives have not successfully procreated as much. This line of thought leads to the more ominous yet important matter of human population levels and how much is too much for the ecology to naturally be able to bear? I think it's obvious we've exceeded that point, so how far can we push the envelope before the ecology collapses irrevocably? I don't know! I think veganism is only a delay mechanism of world hunger, to push the bigger problem of population control to the back of our minds for some other generation to make the hard choice. We may not like it, but at least China is active in this department. Old man ranting again, I hope I didn't get too much off-point.

Meat eater all of a sudden becomes a lover of plants. Despite eating plants himself; and having his animals eat plants. It's actually very easy to just take the existing plant based agriculture and eat it ourselves. Heavily reduce with the view to stopping animal ag; and then not wasting what we have by feeding it all to animals.

And everybody else groans because with the excuses flying so thick and heavy from the meat side nearly everyone would have been close to getting bingo too.

The movie cowspiracy, which came out after this debate, covers the topic of pasture raised farming. It shows clearly that pasture raised animals would require much more available land than if we didn't eat any animals. Definitely a movie everyone should see.

Cringe. They really didn't find better people to argue for meat? It's not too surprising since you can't really find smart and passionate meat-eaters.

I think it's harder for people to understand veganism because they don't have a connection to the animals. Arguing with people who have never been able to perceive farmed animals as sentient individuals makes it harder.

The propositions point is we cannot avoid killing life to live but we can reduce total aggregate suffering. We have to eat to live, given this fact(not belief) then our moral obligation is to do this whilst avoiding causing ANY living being to suffer UNNECESSARILY. Our best effort would be to eat plants directly instead of killing many more plants by also feeding billions of other animals that we in turn eat. So the diet that causes the least UNNECESSARY suffering is a plant based diet.

Not to mention that the concept of pain makes no sense for plants without nervous systems. It would also make no sense for them to evolve that capability either since they thrive on being eaten to spread their seeds unlike animals.

That farmer is obviously the least objective in this debate, because he has so much to lose over the spread of plant-based diet. And many of his points are asinine, ridden with logical fallacies.

When listening to a debate it's important to ask what will these panelist gain from their stance? Clearly if people started to adopt a vegan lifestyle Joel would no longer make profits from his animal farm.

I for myself got vegan before 6 days and until now i feel a lot of improvement on my thoughts and feelings.

One problem with the argument made here in favor of meat eating is that it is based on a type of farming that is virtually non-existent in the U.S.A. When in opening statement you say we argue for something that has no basis in the facts of meat produced for consumption you are wasting everyone's time. Joel and Chris you wasted our time. The argument for meat consumption is wrong headed even when it is the type of farming you argue for. How much meat is produced the way that they argue for. Less than 5 % is a generous answer.

The opposition tries to minimize the issue at hand by resorting to "if we can't be perfect and not harm anything, than who gives a hoot." Nice try side stepping, but it doesn't hold water.

And the proposition can't answer how the world's poor should starve rather than hunt or raise animals. I think one is more problematic than the other...

Evan Lacey As far as myself and everyone else is concerned, we're talking about the people who have it in their power to choose what they eat which is you and I and everyone living in modern society. I don't think anyone's arguing that if you have no choice but to kill animals to survive that you should starve and die. For you again I get the vibe of "If we can't ALL do this PERFECTLY than it's a COMPLETE FAILURE of a plan and we should just eat bacon and eggs without worry of the health, ethical, or environmental ramifications."

Then you are admitting that your side is wrong. The argument should be, if given the option, dont eat anything with a face. Like the opposition pointed out, the measure offers no room for poverty.

Evan Lacey Lol, no. Rice and beans are CHEAP az. I'm a college student living on less than $25 a week for food. It's cheap food bro. What are you doing to make a difference? Sounds like jack all. Just go back to sleep sheep.

Evan Lacey Maybe IQ squared just didn't want to debate a topic as long as "Don't eat anything with a face if you have the financial means not to."

They are even barely letting Dr. Neal Barnard speak. Afraid to debate on the reality of health. LOL

Look how healthy and handsome Dr Barnard is!

So yeah I want to eat way less meat now. Glad to be informed.

lollll the first guy against , everything he is saying is false ... i mean everything .... ahahahah

Dr. Barnard is so damn well-spoken and charming that the other guys don't have much of a chance. (And I'm a meat-eater.)

Thank you for that interesting debate. I appreciate how it was handled. So many debates get out of hand and become a shouting match and who can talk over who. I was interested in the debate the whole time and appreciated both sides of the discussion even though I am a vegan. I will now tune in and watch more of your debates, thanks again for a great platform for people to hear two sides and come to their own conclusion after finding out more information from both sides!

Dr. Neal Barnard wrote a book that helped change my life, it's called Breaking the Food Seduction. I read it in the summer of 2011, and continued to eat animal products for about six months and then decided to finally take the leap into the void - that was a vegan lifestyle. I was chronically ill all the time, and was DESPERATE to feel better. As I went vegan, I did feel much, much better... but I was a junk food vegan. I read other information, on many raw foodists, vegan tri-athletes... and it was not until I went high raw that some really crazy cool stuff began to happen... I felt the effects of euphoria through my nutrient dense food choices, my energy levels began to soar, I lost stubborn weight that would not come off no matter how much I exercised, and all illnesses vanished. I assure you, nutrients are the answer, real food, plant foods... I love Barnard for what he does, and I thank him for writing the book that was the first source for me to come across and change my life for the better, forever.

It's amazing how much more civil the vegetarian side is.

The guy debating on behalf of the Weston A Price Foundation, I would assume, clearly hasnt read Price's book.. He recommends eating a very small amount of meat and the majority of the diet should consist of plant foods.. The fact that the traditional populations he spoke to 'emphasized' meats doesnt actually mean that meats are healthy.. It just means that they liked their meat..lol The Weston A Price Foundation has made a mockery of Dr. Price's work, and used it to justify diets very heavy in animal foods despite Dr Prices recommendations to limit animal foods in the diet. I dont have words negative enough to describe what they do so I will refrain.

I recall Price as saying people ate what they could in their environment and what their culture traditionally learned was healthy thru generations and generations. He deduced that they were all healthy when they ate their traditional foods. He pointed out that always included some animal foods. He also said that any vegetarian society was less healthy. He surveyed extremes: from tropics to the Inuit of the North. So there was great meat eating and also little. But do you think the foundation says diffrenet? I am genuinely interested in what you mean. Thanks.

In his book on indigenous nutrition he said the healthiest diets were those that consisted mainly of plant foods, which were very low in meat, the WAPF have co-opted his work and basically say the opposite; that the healthiest diets are high in meat/animal fats/protein and comparatively low in plant foods (if you actually measure the amount of meat WAP himself recommended it is TINY). His work is interesting but he was just a dentist.. a dentist who lived a while back.. People should understand that we know far more about health/diet now than we can ever know from WAP's work, thanks to concerned members of the medical establishment (such as Dr Neil Barnard), who, remember, are doctors, as opposed to dentists. WAP's work was pretty limited to begin with and is just one aspect of the field of nutrition, now that people like Sally Fallon and pro meat funding org's have got involved, anything the WAPF says is no longer credible IMO.

I read all of Price' s book. More than once. I remember heavy meat eating and little meat eating. Both. But it depended on WHERE they lived. He thought both was fine. Is that incorrect?

Hmm.. Regardless of what Price said, for a moment, do you actually believe that humans react differently to different diets depending on where they are on the planet..? like.. Do you believe that eating meat is healthy for you if you are on the north pole and then unhealthy if you are on the equator? As far as I know his recommendations were to eat plenty of veg, grains, legumes etc. and keep calories from meat very low, Which is the opposite of what the WAPF recommend. There is always a chance Im wrong so obviously go with what you think is right and make sure you check out his critics to get a balanced view of his work. -I didnt spend too much time bothering with the WAP stuff because, like I say, he was a dentist.

I believe we are meant to eat what is in our environment. WAP also demonstrated that. so, i believe and have seen. It make sense and it has been observed.

Wanna know why vegans are depressed? because they care! and people that know how fucked up is the world will always have that sadness inside them. ignorance is happiness

My thoughts exactly!

just eat plants, live long vibrantly and happily and let the animals live :-) . don't listen to the meat marketing board.

Why does nobody ask the meat guys if they think its ok to eat their pet dogs or cats, or dolphins, whales or horses. If they say no then that is speciesism which, as the girl said earlier, is very similar to racism

I Love Neal Barnard ! Just go Vegan , for health , less pollution and no torturing animals. depression cured!

The problem with the guys argument when he said how can you fertilize vegetables without animals is you can still fertilize vegetables with animals and not kill them you can just have animals on the farm that produce manure and not kill them. In fact by doing so you will have more fertilizer.

If Gary Yourofsky was in this debate...game over! lol ;p
