Publisher's summary

Brought to you by Penguin.

Every time we eat, we have the power to radically transform the world we live in.

Our choices can help alleviate the most pressing issues we face today: the climate crisis, infectious and chronic diseases, human exploitation and, of course, non-human exploitation. Undeniably, these issues can be uncomfortable to learn about, but the benefits of doing so cannot be overstated. It is quite literally a matter of life and death.

Through exploring the major ways that our current system of animal farming affects the world around us, as well as the cultural and psychological factors that drive our behaviours, This Is Vegan Propaganda answers the pressing question, is there a better way?

Whether you are a vegan already or curious to learn more, this book will show you the other side of the story that has been hidden for far too long. Based on years of research and conversations with slaughterhouse workers and farmers, to animal rights philosophers, environmentalists and everyday consumers, vegan educator and public speaker Ed Winters will give you the knowledge to understand the true scale and enormity of the issues at stake.

This Is Vegan Propaganda is the empowering and ground-breaking book on veganism that everyone, vegan and sceptic alike, needs to hear.

Life-Changing!

Ed Winters is among the brightest and most articulate spokespersons for the vegan movement. As a new vegan, I learned so much from this book that not only strengthened my resolve to never go back to the willful blindness of eating animal products, but also gave me the knowledge and courage to be an ambassador to others. I recommend this book to all, vegan or not.

Perfect

Ed really has made the perfect book about veganism, going through every topic one can think related to it. It’s a great resource for vegans and a great education tool for non-vegans.

Everyone should listen to this book

I would recommend this book to everyone. It is a comprehensive look at the many reasons why we should adopt a vegan lifestyle. There are a lot of hard facts in this book but the end is optimistic and uplifting

A must read for vegans and non-vegans alike

Ed was one of the activist that turned me vegan and i have been vegan over 5 years now. somehow…i feel even more vegan after reading this and will be sharing it with everyone i can. this book truly validates every reason why veganism is the future. Thank you Ed for all that you do, you are a true inspiration.

I once read a comment that Ed’s name will be in our future generations history books and i very much second that claim. The future is a kinder world because of your work.

Great book

I’m subscribed to the Earthling Ed channel on YouTube and had to grab this book when it was released. I first grabbed the audio version and loved it so much I got a physical copy as well. Ed’a think-pieces are always backed by research and doused in empathy and non judgement. I appreciate that.

I like this you may too!

Am new to vegetarian/vegan life. I think Ed Winters does a nice job showing WHY everyone should be trying to eat less meat.

Don't hide your head in the sand any longer!

I read over a hundred books every year and this is hands down my favorite non-fiction book. This is an eloquently written book that details our animal food system and it's far reaching effects. I appreciate that Ed sticks to scientific studies and logic. This book is sure to inform even the well informed and expand your worldview.

"As consumers we like to believe that we are exercising our free will in making our own personal choices when we buy the food that we do, but does buying products that increase suffering really align with how we want the world to look? If our desire is for animals not to suffer, if we would actively intervine if a dog or a pig was being killed in front of us, if we root for an animal when they escape slaughter, if we would save a piglet from a burning fire, if we say we are against animal cruelty, then by buying animal products we are not living by our own preferences or in alignment with our own values. We are doing the opposite. Our will is being manipulated to make us go against our intrinsic values. So perhaps it's time for us to turn our dissonance into harmony. Something that is only possible when we recognize how our decision making is being influenced."

This was incredible.

I have been vegan for almost 10 months, but primarily because of the environment. This expanded my mind and gave me so many more reasons to be vegan.

Well-researched, factual book that EVERYONE needs to read

I have listened to this book at least five times. I continue to be amazed at how much information is provided, and I truly wish everyone (vegan or not) would take the time to listen. I love that all his points are backed up by science.

Excellent, Reed! Critical information

Ed Winters has hit beautifully every single aspect of the reasons it is so important we make these changes. Thoughtfully crafted and executed. You are truly your generation’s Peter Singer. Thank you!
