By: Ed Winters

Narrated by: Ed Winters

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 groundbreaking book on veganism that everyone, vegan and sceptic alike, needs to read.

Critic reviews

[Among] the best new writing about climate change.

When it comes to the vegan movement, Ed Winters is a truly unrivaled, once-in-generation voice-a modern-day Peter Singer and the advocate for our moment. In the vein of his polished, reason-based viral videos, 'This Is Vegan Propaganda' makes the bulletproof case for the vegan lifestyle. Equal parts erudite and accessible, it's a must-read for a world living out of sync with our innate humanity.

Such is the effectiveness of his advocacy that I knew about Ed Winters (aka "Earthling Ed") long before reading this book. 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. If you give a damn about this planet, and the fate of its inhabitants (including us), read this book.

Make sure you read This is Vegan Propaganda, you won't regret it.

This book makes a powerful case for giving up meat... Whatever he's eating, I want some of it.

Ed Winters sets out all the reasons why going vegan might just save the world.

Well-researched introduction to veganism

Ed has used his vast knowledge regarding meat and dairy production to create a must read book for everyone, vegan and non-vegan alike. His arguments are compelling and grounded in facts and logic. This is Vegan Propaganda (And Other Lies the Meat Industry Tells You) presents an indisputable case for veganism and shows us that there is a far better way of feeding the planet. An eye-opening book of our time.

Everything you wanted to know about veganism but were afraid to ask. Ed offers a clear insight into the ethical debate around veganism for vegans and non-vegans alike. He explores why the word 'vegan' inspires strong emotions and challenges all of us, whatever our dietary choices, to be aware of the decisions we are making. Ed's approach is to bring logic, philosophy and understanding to a debate that too often descends into chaos. Essential reading.

If you're looking to learn about veganism from a source that is grounded, truthful and thoroughly knowledgeable, This is Vegan Propaganda (And Other Lies the Meat Industry Tells You) is the first place to go. Ed manages to be compassionate towards people and unsparing about the details of how we exploit animals, and will prompt you to look yourself in the eye and confront your own complicity in humanity's broken relationship with the animal kingdom. His skills of communication are unparalleled and he will teach any aspiring activist how to share their message in a way that reaches and affects people, and opens their minds to adopting a vegan lifestyle.

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.

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

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.

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.

Compelling, Infuriating, and Necessary

This book will open your eyes and ears to the insanity of the cultural norm of eating animals, while explaining how we got here. Similarly to most people Ed references in the book, my only regret is that I didn’t go vegan sooner. Everyone living in a developed society should read this book. Worth listening to multiple times and sharing as far and wide as possible.
