Ed, how do serve up so much spice yet remain so mild?

[edwardpendragon]

"he wasn't vegan when he started [the study]; but he was vegan when he finished it" is such a great line :)

[AJenbo]

"is that the one headed by a vegan?", what a wonderful argument, now we can respond to any claim he makes with "was that reported by a meat eater?"

[Tomsen]

Remaining so calm in a discussion really gives you power and shows that you are on the right side.

[kunaal_]

There’s something about Ed’s resting face, it’s so calm and collected but you can tell he’s about to school the hell out of the opposition

[enriquesexotics]

Everybody gansta till eds starts spitting facts

[RogueParses]

4 minutes, each person made 1 statement and then the video finishes. That's not a debate lol

[runningwithmarc]

The information is out there, and people are running away from it, but Ed's going to catch you, and he's going to tell you the truth.

[peterplaysguitar]

Ed how you stay so calm, not even role your eyes, is a real mystery to me. So incredibly well spoken!

[therebalancer]

Farmers love to extol the virtues of grass. Well, what about diverse woodland instead?

[rhysowen]

I just love this guy. Solid arguments backed by research and facts. I wish I was this well-spoken and knowledgeable.

Check out Ed's podcast video that came out yesterday to hear all about "Happy Farms" and "Humane
And in this video, above, the butcher tried to take up most of the time in this segment to avoid letting Ed smash his weak arguments to pieces

[DandaMan]

“65% of land of this country is grass” well yeah that’s the problem 😂

[melodydonnallie]

Great Points Ed.. Stopped the little man in his tracks.. Thank you For The Animals & The Planet - The Future is

[JackyRogue]

Sounds like the start of a bad joke: "What did the Vegan say to the butcher?"

[DrFearfall]

Wish ppl would stop interrupting the guy while he's trying to explain!

[LeilaJane]

So good at getting the point across!! Nice one Ed. :)

[julespaints]

I wouldn’t even bother arguing against Ed, he knows the facts, the figures, the truth ❤️

[mac]

"(...) the welfare of slaughtered animals" this is truly a bad joke.

[yashsethi]

The person who talks more, makes the most mistakes. Easier to pick up on those mistakes...
