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

face it head on

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

with the values of society at large

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

John I'll see you on Tuesday
