The chapters describing the lives of farmed animals was nothing new to me and it felt like hearing YouTube videos of his I had seen before being rehashed. In plain-spoken language aimed at persuading and not condemning, Ed outlines the abhorrent practices of industrial animal agriculture, and what can and must be done to address it.

With authoritative, practical and inspirational advice from respected authors such as Oliver James, Tim Ferris, Gina Ford, Dr Atkins, Edward de Bono, Dr Phil McGraw, Lynda Field and Judi James, Vermilion books really change lives. This tattooed former stuntman and TV prankster morphed into an unlikely vegan influencer with his eye-catching, heavy metal-style Dirty Vegan books, claiming to offer “proper banging vegan food”.Bearded and fond of a man bun, the British educator and author of This is Vegan Propaganda debates the merits of veganism with everyone from university students to TV hosts, and the rest of us via his TEDx talks and wildy popular YouTube channel. The amount of pain, stress and suffering experienced by hundreds of millions of sentient beings with conscious experience, emotions, relationships and behaviour is unimaginable. But you see, it’s not just the animals we are killing, we are destroying our planet, our home, and our bodies. I love how the author uses the term “Vegan Propaganda” to put into perspective that the meat industry is actually the one hiding the reality from its consumers.

Ed Winters, AKA Earthling Ed, is a British vegan activist and author with more than 400,000 YouTube subscribers. We honour Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander peoples' continuous connection to Country, waters, skies and communities.We have the power to either stand in favor of needless animal suffering, the destruction of our natural world and the increased risk of infectious disease and pandemics, or to stand against it. Very concise, mostly facts with a few anecdotal offshoots that font detract from the message but help enhance it. I suspect I will never feel this way about my favorite meat items, except mayyybe with cultured meat in the future. I read my first book on animal issues in 2020, and did not actually become vegetarian myself until this year, and I'm still working towards being fully vegan.

I saw a video of him showing a video of an animal being slaughtered to a meat eating girl, who burst into tears and said she would stop eating meat.I became accustomed to teasing and shaming – from digs at the apparently tasteless gruel I was consuming to the ubiquitous use of “gay” as an insult, mostly from guys who seemed offended by my decision to not eat dead things.

If you give a damn about this planet, and the fate of its inhabitants (including us), read this book. En vez de en audiolibro, me gustaría haberlo leído en físico para poder subrayar y marcar todos los datos que puedo sacar cuando alguien intente hacerme sentir inferior por no consumir carne (algo que, la verdad, no pasa casi nunca ya). He has also spoken at major companies including Google on numerous occasions, Facebook and The Economist.Finally, we're presented with empathetic recommendations on how to discuss the topic with those closest to us, and an optimistic view for the future.
