@williamblair11 In fact, after 2 months of vegetarianism... it does not anymore. Belive me, if I'd known how easy cutting meat out of my diet really is, I had taken that step way earlier. Save yourself and the planet just by not eating other animals. Seems so logical now, but since I was omnivore myself I know that it might seem scary in a way to take that step.
Well, if the cattle eats grass it's not comparable because humans can't digest grass like cows can. But on the other hand most cattle nowadays are fed with things like grains and soy which humans do eat and which are not even natural foods for them and poorer nutritionally. So that makes meat and milk that's poorer in nutrients also.
There is a mistake in this video, it takes 25 to 30 kilogram off cattle food to get one kilogram off meat and not 10 kilogram, please chance this in to the right numbers.
The issue is not what we eat but our production system that is destroying the planet.
It's a whole other discussion if we need meat or not, but the discussion should be what can we change in the system we created that is a linear, production line that is wasteful and poorly designed. Sustainability makes sense and I do think if people had to kill their food there would be less omnivores! The production system plus the make up on top of the meat industry are the problem...
It is not even about whether eat meat or not.. it is about how we treat animals, our Earth and what we give back. We consume, pollute, eat more than we need. Before we at least prayed before the meal or did sacrifice to Gods... we hunted with bows and gave animals chance to live. Now we just cruel, we abuse our mother nature. So why not step back and at least eat less meet if you can't stop at all. It is not late yet. At least ofr your own health please!
Oh why still so little work is done to promote vegetarianism and to show it's benefits. Why there are no labels on meat products telling all that stuff shown here? On cigarette packs we have labels telling about death. And agriculture makes up only several % of economy in developed countries, why then profits there must be so crucial?
you didn't grasped what the movie tells to you ... You can save the hugest amount of water by not eating meat, for instance 15.000 liters for one kilo of beef! And the same is with the cars, you make more "virtual" emissions by eating meat.
i watched this.... and now i feel hungry....time for a stake :P
seriousely though if you have such a problemb with cows causing pollution then what do u want us to do? kill them all?
plus so what if millions of species have gone extinct? we dont need them to survive so who cares? its the law of nature we are a more successful race therefore we live and they die most of those species would have gone extinct anyway we merely....sped up to process.
you know wat fuck this video i didnt give a shit about it go eat your stupit vegetables your loss but most of us are going to eat meat you vegetarians are sad people this is last comments about this stupit video
Animlas feel pain as similar as you feels, so they dead begging us compassion as you would beg it...(I think...) And they love as you sim ilar as you do.
As we love our pet we should love every animal (I feel it and I do...And it is not sad. LOVE is not sad)There are two great words: RESPect - RESPonsability...Our body ills by our ouwn ignorance (Buda) And out earth too. Isn´t it?
Humans should take care of animals and more there we would be loving the earth through RESPect - RESPons
@Amigosdelmundo1 i see ur point but if u stop eating them then it iwll distrub the food chain causing some animals to extininction and now people are starving and want meant and if we eat vegies it will be expensivenand it will be even harder for them to get it
Hum, really stadictics show us that ten Kilograms of grains produces one kilogram of meat...It means, instead you would eat one kilogram of meat, you would have ten kilograms of grains...Hum, I would prepare more than 300 kinds of diferent delicious plates including bread, desserts, soups, ice creams and so much more. And all of them whitout toxins (And without PAIN = Compassion)...
Someone said: "Animals are my friends, and I don´t eat my friends" 90% of illnes are by eating meat

if god wanted us to eat vegetables why make animals i disagree with everything and if we stop buying cows to eat low wages for farmers causing crisis and theft its just stupid and if we stop eating them they will increase making grass and plants decrease thus it will also distrubd the food chain also if there is less plants it will be more expensive therefore there are many tthat cant afford food and die of starvation
@freurros If God wanted animals to eat vegetables why make humans? Your logic is extremely flawed. Livestock numbers would decrease if humans stop over-breeding them for meat. My goodness! It's like explaining things to a 3 year old!

I'm 16 and I'm a vegan since june 2008 and I am as healty as possible living without meat! Do you really believe that it's right to kill in order to fill your stomach? I don't think so!
well the only animal on earth that takes more then it needs (guess what?) is human beings. we dont need to eat meat.. it's just as healthy to eat vegetables which also are equivalent to meat in some cases... it's only selfish people eating meat because they dont know better..

solution: exterminate all vegatarians and vegans. then there would be more room to raise cows and we could all enjoy more burgers without those skinny malnurished whiners putting us off our tastey meals!
i think that we must take everything without excesses. if you eat meat in a excessive way can be unhealthy. but the excesses of vegetables don't offers you everything you need for living. you maybe must take supplies pills or something like vitamins, calcium etc for stabilize all that meat offers- but now we can modify vegetables... so... it's confusing topic for me xD
Good for you, but meat eating was essential for human evolution. Eating meat fish may help memory according to researchers. We need meat protein and we need vegetables too.
Think about the Inuit - they eat almost only meat, and lead a good life
Bad argument. Cholesterol is the chemical compound most closely connected to heart disease in humans and to several cancers (meat is a cholesterol delivery system). Inuit peoples have high incidence of these cancers and a shorter life expectancy than peoples without such a meat-centered diet. This is statistically confirmed. Inuit life expectancy is 10 years less than that of Canadians generally. Meat kills.
If they returned to traditional Inuit diet, enhanced hygiene, better living conditions, better access to hospitals and medical supplies, better education, then the Inuit population would likely be up to par with this so-called "average". The infant mortality rate is about four times that of the average Canadian as well. If you're so closed-minded as to believe a more traditional meat diet is the root of their downfall, then you really ought to reconsider your outlook on things.
Where is your evidence concerning the Inuit and their diet? They have a life expectancy lower than the average Canadian, but they also live in far poorer conditions than the average Canadian... And their diet is unhealthy due to the Westernization of foods, especially canned foods and junk foods. Ask any medical doctor living in the North.
The elephants and cows are herbivorous. A herbivore is an animal that is only adapted to eat plants and not meat. They don't need meat protein. We are omnivorous. We need meat protein.
k66, We are omnivorous. We need meat protein. WRONG. Heres the science: Jaw Type CARNIVORE: Angle not expanded HERBIVORE: Expanded angle OMNIVORE: Angle not expanded HUMAN: Expanded angle Jaw Joint Location CARNIVORE: On same plane as molar teeth HERBIVORE: Above the plane of the molars OMNIVORE: On same plane as molar teeth HUMAN: Above the plane of the molars
k66, more science_ Major Jaw Muscles CARNIVORE: Temporalis HERBIVORE: Masseter and pterygoids OMNIVORE: Temporalis HUMAN: Masseter and pterygoids Mouth Opening vs. Head Size CARNIVORE: Large HERBIVORE: Small OMNIVORE: Large HUMAN: Small
Really, tool use helped early humans in butchering their dinners. By cooking our food, we wouldn't need teeth big enough. By using knives to cut food into smaller pieces, we wouldn't need a large enough jaw to cram in big hunks of food.
k66, Teeth: Incisors CARNIVORE: Short and pointed HERBIVORE: Broad, flattened and spade shaped OMNIVORE: Short and pointed HUMAN: Broad, flattened and spade shaped Teeth: Canines CARNIVORE: Long, sharp and curved HERBIVORE: Dull and short or long (for defense), or none OMNIVORE: Long, sharp and curved HUMAN: Short and blunted
We have evolved to eat meat and compared to the great apes, we can handle a diet that's high in fat and cholesterol, and the great apes cannot. We jumped out of the trees and started to eat meat. This proteins helped our brain grow, because animal protein contains essential amino acids that are necessary for human body.
66_ . . animal protein contains essential amino acids that are necessary for human body. .
As do plant proteins, they come with disease fighting antioxidants. Animal proteins come with disease CAUSING compounds. Nutritional biochemists rate protein availability using a PDCAAS (corrected amino acid) scale. 1.0 is a top protein score (dang, more science_):
A stunning video that is an excellent factual documentary to get people to become vegetarian / vegan. I have been a vegetarian for 13 years at the time of writing and most people wonder why, well this video explains all. Well done for sharing it.
Being a vegan is not to blame anyone for what they eat. But what it helps to achieve is the higher states of consciousness and takes away the unnecessary fear (well if you're on top of the roof and you can't fly, it's great to have the fear of jumping as it saves the one's life). I'm happy without consuming animal products for food but my most concern is just to see the people happy, but I can still feel the pain of the killing inside of me. Life is not the suffering, life is for to create.
Thanks to this video I am now going to concentrate all my efforts on continuing to eat as much meat as possible.I enjoy killing the land and I hope that one day it will eventually lead to the destruction of the human race.We kill stuff too bloody bad I want my steak when I come home and I sure as hell refuse to stop because of some vegetarian scumbags.The world will fix itself eventually and will most likely result in the death of the human race. Also when the sun burns out we're all dead so meh
We raise 12 chickens, two goats, two pigs, crawfish and over 150 fruits, vegetables and nuts trees. We are on a system of permaculture. Our farm is 100% sustainable (and organic). We grow grain and soybean to feed our animals. We breed our own animals. We slaughter a pig every November. Our pig is treated with dignity & respect its entire life. Vegetarian propaganda is the worst "know it all hippie" tripe around. Hitler was a vegetarian. GREEN issues are NOT liberal issues. They are CONSERVATIVE
most 'veg propaganda' is based on reducing the meat intake of the general populace whose meat comes from unnatural factory farms. This is very different from the dignified end you give to your pigs. I'm a vegan, and I agree that self-righteousness is not a good quality, and it sometimes comes across in pro-veg media; however, a lot of teh points are valid nonetheless ~ let's not lose the baby for the bathwater. As for Hitler being vegetarian, so? Ghandi was vegetarian, Pol Pot ate meat, so what?
why, because it's so hard to stop eating meat, like heroine ? Becoming vegetarian doesn't change a lot the environmental issue, dairy cows still shit, and we need to kill them after they're not productive. They should say "go vegan". But you're right, " (ACF) suggest that removing just one 150-gram serve of beef a week would culminate in a saving of 10,000 litres of water and 300 kilograms of greenhouse gases. "
The earth could sustain a meat eating human population of around 250,000,000. I understand the moral opposition to meat consumption, but it's simply not the root cause of our current state of environmental crisis. An environmentally conscious vegan human population of 20 billion driving hybrids, and using efficient energy systems, is far worse than a Hummer driving, meat eating, coal burning population of 250 million. The real problem is overpopulation. There can only be so many of us...
The problems of population and meat-eating are really on the same side of the sustainability equation that adds to a constant value. If we had a Vegan planet, then the sustainable population limit (in other words, the starting point of 'over-population') would be much higher than on a planet that fully or partly sustains itself on meat and poultry and dairy.
Then there's the moral argument. How will we ever find true peace and conscience when we enslave and torture other sentient beings?
Yeah, for most people, youtube is normally for 'letting out steam'. I am a Vegan and I don't like the total lack of Vegan presence in most people's day-to-day life; that Veganism remains very obscure, as a way of life. So I like to post Vegan arguments here, wherever I see them needed. We've gotta help more and more people 'make the connection'.
There is no overpopulation issue ~ given the right allocation and wise use of resources.
What is 'worse' about 20 billion earth-friendly people compared to ony a 40th of that number driving diesel powered tonka trucks? Don't you like humans? :D
There will soon be 7 billion people here ~ by reducing our own carbon footprint, including through meat reducution, we give every one of them a fairer chance at life ~ and the possibility of more people to love with, live with, party with, and enjoy
extermination of wrong thinking and its propagation would be enough ~ those who think wrongly now may may be the greatest propagators of peace in the future
The problem is overpopulation, not meat eating or SUV's. We need to do something about the fact that there are almost 7 billion people. Like a virus, we're gonna kill off our host, planet earth, and in doing so, kill off ourselfs. Can someone tell me why the big players like Bill Gates are wasting money helping sustain overpopulation by feeding and medicating people, instead of doing something about the way we live and reproduce. It's time we face the truth, there are just too many of us.
According to most scientific information, if humans turned to a vegetarian diet and used more sustainable energy and living practises, we could live sustainably and continue doing so. But greed inhibits that.
We probably could live sustainably if we turned to a vegetarian diet, but still, with almost 7 billion of us, a lot of other creatures cannot live sustainably. We've simply destroyed their habitat for our own uses. Unless we curb population growth, we are in big trouble. Hybrid cars and energy efficient homes can only do so much when there are so many of us.
We are a very wasteful country!!!!!!!! We want to poison all bugs not caring about the birds and the insects that pollinate our food to keep us alive. We have got to wake up!!!!!!!!!!
We have no more reason to kill cows, pigs and chickens than whales. The point of the video si correct, even if i don't especially like the opening 1:25.
We all have to decide if we will accept the FACTS (and not just close our eyes as they we're not existent) and do some actions against --- OR we will have to explain in the near future to our children, why this planet is not anymore worth for living...
Neat. I like the Carl Sagan-esque Calendar analogy. However the first 1:25 of the video was a put-off. Exceedingly amateurish. Nothing says propaganda like the phrase "Wake up!"
if you are saying we have been around a couple months(on the year scaling system) is to say that we have been around for nearly 700million years, unless you are going by the moronic Christian 6000yr old earth BS, but i can't tell if you are being sarcastic or retar... Christian.
Thank you for telling the truth about what WE are doing to our one and only planet and the life we share it with.

You do realize that most of us are just living regular lives and do regular things. Most of us simply have 2-3 square meals a day, travel to and from work and maybe drive to the coast on a weekend.

idiots like you make me sick! trying to make regular people feel "guilty" for merely existing.
People like you would have us all starving, living in tents with no electricity and heating. If you had your way, you would cast humanity back to the dark-ages. For what? Some bogus lie called "global warming"?
You're a brainwashed fool and you make me sick! And no, I'm not going to stop eating meat, heating my home, bathing and traveling the 10 miles to and from work every day. Sorry!

i think that we must take everything without excesses. if you eat meat in a excessive way can be unhealthy. but the excesses of vegetables don't offers you everything you need for living. you maybe must take supplies pills or something like vitamins, calcium etc for stabilize all that meat offers- but now we can modify vegetables... so... it's confusing topic for me xD

Bad argument. Cholesterol is the chemical compound most closely connected to heart disease in humans and to several cancers (meat is a cholesterol delivery system). Inuit peoples have high incidence of these cancers and a shorter life expectancy than peoples without such a meat-centered diet. This is statistically confirmed. Inuit life expectancy is 10 years less than that of Canadians generally. Meat kills.

@nannyjojan 2,
If they returned to traditional Inuit diet, enhanced hygiene, better living conditions, better access to hospitals and medical supplies, better education, then the Inuit population would likely be up to par with this so-called "average". The infant mortality rate is about four times that of the average Canadian as well. If you're so closed-minded as to believe a more traditional meat diet is the root of their downfall, then you really ought to reconsider your outlook on things.

@nannyjojan,
Where is your evidence concerning the Inuit and their diet? They have a life expectancy lower than the average Canadian, but they also live in far poorer conditions than the average Canadian... And their diet is unhealthy due to the Westernization of foods, especially canned foods and junk foods. Ask any medical doctor living in the North.

Just like elephants and our mighty cows..that's all they eat and we seem to think their flesh is strong enough to eat...
nannyjojan 2 years ago
The elephants and cows are herbivorous. A herbivore is an animal that is only adapted to eat plants and not meat. They don't need meat protein. We are omnivorous. We need meat protein.

Really, tool use helped early humans in butchering their dinners. By cooking our food, we wouldn't need teeth big enough. By using knives to cut food into smaller pieces, we wouldn't need a large enough jaw to cram in big hunks of food.

We have evolved to eat meat and compared to the great apes, we can handle a diet that's high in fat and cholesterol, and the great apes cannot. We jumped out of the trees and started to eat meat. This proteins helped our brain grow, because animal protein contains essential amino acids that are necessary for human body.

As do plant proteins, they come with disease fighting antioxidants. Animal proteins come with disease CAUSING compounds. Nutritional biochemists rate protein availability using a PDCAAS (corrected amino acid) scale. 1.0 is a top protein score (dang, more science_):
Beef, ground: 0.80
Beef, steak: 0.92
Pork sausage: 0.63
Fish/shellfish: 0.77-1.0 (varies)

Being a vegan is not to blame anyone for what they eat. But what it helps to achieve is the higher states of consciousness and takes away the unnecessary fear (well if you're on top of the roof and you can't fly, it's great to have the fear of jumping as it saves the one's life). I'm happy without consuming animal products for food but my most concern is just to see the people happy, but I can still feel the pain of the killing inside of me. Life is not the suffering, life is for to create.

Thanks to this video I am now going to concentrate all my efforts on continuing to eat as much meat as possible.I enjoy killing the land and I hope that one day it will eventually lead to the destruction of the human race.We kill stuff too bloody bad I want my steak when I come home and I sure as hell refuse to stop because of some vegetarian scumbags.The world will fix itself eventually and will most likely result in the death of the human race.

We raise 12 chickens, two goats, two pigs, crawfish and over 150 fruits, vegetables and nuts trees. We are on a system of permaculture. Our farm is 100% sustainable (and organic). We grow grain and soybean to feed our animals. We breed our own animals. We slaughter a pig every November. Our pig is treated with dignity & respect its entire life. Vegetarian propaganda is the worst "know it all hippie" tripe around. Hitler was a vegetarian. GREEN issues are NOT liberal issues. They are CONSERVATIVE

MrJazzGuitar01 3 years ago
most 'veg propaganda' is based on reducing the meat intake of the general populace whose meat comes from unnatural factory farms. This is very different from the dignified end you give to your pigs. I'm a vegan, and I agree that self-righteousness is not a good quality, and it sometimes comes across in pro-veg media; however, a lot of teh points are valid nonetheless ~ let's not lose the baby for the bathwater. As for Hitler being vegetarian, so? Ghandi was vegetarian, Pol Pot ate meat, so what?

why, because it's so hard to stop eating meat, like heroine ? Becoming vegetarian doesn't change a lot the environmental issue, dairy cows still shit, and we need to kill them after they're not productive. They should say "go vegan". But you're right, " (ACF) suggest that removing just one 150-gram serve of beef a week would culminate in a saving of 10,000 litres of water and 300 kilograms of greenhouse gases. "

The earth could sustain a meat eating human population of around 250,000,000. I understand the moral opposition to meat consumption, but it's simply not the root cause of our current state of environmental crisis. An environmentally conscious vegan human population of 20 billion driving hybrids, and using efficient energy systems, is far worse than a Hummer driving, meat eating, coal burning population of 250 million. The real problem is overpopulation. There can only be so many of us...
Limodog 3 years ago
The problems of population and meat-eating are really on the same side of the sustainability equation that adds to a constant value. If we had a Vegan planet, then the sustainable population limit (in other words, the starting point of 'over-population') would be much higher than on a planet that fully or partly sustains itself on meat and poultry and dairy.
Then there's the moral argument. How will we ever find true peace and conscience when we enslave and torture other sentient beings?

There will soon be 7 billion people here ~ by reducing our own carbon footprint, including through meat reducution, we give every one of them a fairer chance at life ~ and the possibility of more people to love with, live with, party with, and enjoy

The problem is overpopulation, not meat eating or SUV's. We need to do something about the fact that there are almost 7 billion people. Like a virus, we're gonna kill off our host, planet earth, and in doing so, kill off ourselfs. Can someone tell me why the big players like Bill Gates are wasting money helping sustain overpopulation by feeding and medicating people, instead of doing something about the way we live and reproduce. It's time we face the truth, there are just too many of us.

According to most scientific information, if humans turned to a vegetarian diet and used more sustainable energy and living practises, we could live sustainably and continue doing so. But greed inhibits that.
loveviduploads 4 years ago 3
We probably could live sustainably if we turned to a vegetarian diet, but still, with almost 7 billion of us, a lot of other creatures cannot live sustainably. We've simply destroyed their habitat for our own uses. Unless we curb population growth, we are in big trouble. Hybrid cars and energy efficient homes can only do so much when there are so many of us.
