good morning john let's have this
conversation if someone is that is when

I have a really tough conversations on
Viper those let's let's take the girls

The imperative

John I have a problem and its name as me
to get this out of the way there's

definitely some conflict going on
between the vegetarians vegans of the

world and the rest of the world and talk
about why I think that is in this video

and I'm gonna start with the fact that
vegetarians are right

yes animals raised for food do not have
nice lives and even if they did they

would still be killed in the prime of
their lives so that I could have a tasty

snack yes the amount of food eaten by
animals who will later be eaten is

massive and so as more people eat meat
more land has to be put under

cultivation has massively to climate
change and are a primary reason for

deforestation yes most people don't need
to eat meat to be healthy and their

reasons both ways like more than a
billion people make at least some of

their living from livestock you don't
take all of those people's livelihoods

way all of us as the global population
grows as the global economy grows it is

very difficult to argue that
vegetarianism is not a good thing the

important thing here is vegetarianism
allows more people to have more food

with less impact it's good and so when
someone tells me that I should be a

vegetarian early to comment on the video
is asking me how do i justify eating

meat I have no recourse but to say that
they are right and that I am wrong but

that I will continue eating meat because
I'm the kind of person who has a hard

time controlling myself and it's hard
enough not to eat a half a bag of Oreos

for breakfast my personal power side
there's a fundamental conflict going on

here I live in a society we're eating
meat is normal and being a vegetarian is

not its montana you guys like there are
places in America where vegetarianism is

very normal this is not one but there's
a difference between acting in

accordance with society's expectations
which will very rarely get you

criticized and he's definitely the easy
thing to do and actually living in a way

that is best for the future and for
people and for all of the organisms on

the planet and that's the reality of
meeting it is a thing that I don't need

to do but I do despite the fact that it
makes the world worse for her and

animals and future people the big one
for our society but there are lots of

examples of this like I've always found
it a little bit immoral that I spend

money on things that are not necessary
like

cola and flying to San Francisco when
that fifth ticket to the force of

weekends when there are people dying of
preventable diseases I do those things

instead of giving the money to save the
children for the same reasons that I eat

meat because it's easier and simpler I
like them and I'm not perfect but also

more than that like acting in accordance
with society to a certain extent isn't

just the easy thing to do it's also kind
of the only thing to do

experience this you can only do so much
breaking with culture before you become

extremely uncomfortable it's very hard
to find

self-worth it's very hard to find
connection

imagine if every time I saw someone by a
coca-cola like mumbled under my breath

you know there are people dying of
preventable diseases I would not have a

lot of friends budgetary and because
they have the audacity to work extremely

hard to live in accordance with their
values because those values conflict

don't want to be told that the way that
they live their lives in the things that

they enjoy are making the world let's go
especially when you got other stuff to

worry about as frustrating as I'm sure
both sides can find this at times this

cultural conflict is not a bad thing I
honestly believe that we're on our way

to a better brighter future and two
hundred years from now people will think

it's ridiculous that we ate meat the way
that we do there's no reason not to

appreciate vegetarians for working very
hard to live in accordance with their

values I completely understand the
desire to convert me and other people to

their cause to have us eat less or no me
too I am thankful for you all the people

who tell me to not eat meat and yet I'm
going to continue eating less but not no

meat because it's easier it's simple I
like it and I'm not perfect
