Great Experience. Great Value.

Enjoy a great reading experience when you buy the Kindle edition of this book. Learn more about Great on Kindle, available in select categories.

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.

Review

[Among] the best new writing about climate change. ― Financial Times

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.

― Rich Roll, bestselling author of Finding Ultra

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. ― Jonathan Balcombe, author of Super Fly, and the New York Times and international bestseller What a Fish Knows

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

― Peter Egan

This book makes a powerful case for giving up meat... Whatever he's eating, I want some of it. ― Helen Rumbelow, The Times --This text refers to the hardcover edition.

Ed has this marvellous ability to be open, honest and clear when discussing topics he is passionate about. I've not heard anyone discuss our treatment of non-human animals in a more thought provoking way or with such a complete understanding of the subject. Everyone needs to read this book.

Utterly unmissable.

Reviewed in the United Kingdom on 7 January 2022

Verified Purchase

This is the best book since Jonathan Balcombe's mind-blowing "What a Fish Knows". Ed Winters employs a wide range of heavy-duty sources, coupled with inexorable logic, to construct a lucid and compelling case for adopting a plant-based lifestyle. In addition to covering the animal aspects (veganism), the author also presents an incredible array of facts and insights regarding the future of the planet and regarding human health.

Whatever your current diet, this book is, quite simply, too important to miss.

I ordered it in Sept and finally it arrived today. Very nice and easy to read so far and I like that it's not just informative but also won't forget that we were not vegan before, we were uneducated too and there is always more and more to leanr about to be aware to make good choices in life. Ed is amazing and the book is as enjoyable as his speeches

Comprehensive and informative vegan propaganda 💚

Reviewed in the United Kingdom on 9 January 2022

This is Vegan Propaganda by Ed Winters is a comprehensive guide on Veganism. I’ve been vegan for over six years, and it was an informative read for me as there’s a lot of recent information in there. It covers topics such as fish, animal agriculture, zoonotic diseases like Covid, health, meat and masculinity, media, impact on relationships... well written & evidence backed; I read it over a weekend. It was interesting to find out a bit more about Ed’s personal views and upbringing as well. I have so much respect for his hard work and for being a sane voice in a world that can be cruel, twisted and frankly quite vicious. The last two sentences of the book made me cry because it reminded me how my first and last thoughts of the day are always with exploited, caged animals that have to endure so much unnecessary pain and cruelty.
Read the book, pass it on, make kind changes to your lifestyle for the sake of animals, people, health and the future of our beautiful planet! Get inspired by Vegan Propaganda you won’t regret it! #TheTimeForVeganismIsNow

Wake up, world.

Well done Ed. And well done everyone who's done the right thing for the future and headed toward a plant-based future (however far you've got along that path). And well done to all those like Ed who try to wake up the rest of the world to the true cost of eating animals.

I've not yet got through the book. I am struggling in the early chapter giving details of what goes on behind those walls. And I already know what goes on to a fair degree! I opted opted out of eating mammals in 1999 as a result of deciding to go looking and thinking after the disaster of BSE - a self-inflicted zoonotic disease of the UK cow farming industry. In simplified terms - go and research if you want the details and technicalities, the liquified brain matter of one generation was fed to the next generation. This was so as to make the meat slightly cheaper, rather than importing plant-based material - because that's what we, the public, do: we buy the cheapest piece of meat. Of course, buying the more expensive bit doesn't stop the horror and the environmental impact. As Ed explains, the main thing that does (buying 'Farm Assured', 'Green Tractor' or the RSPCA [sic - should be RSPCP: 'Pets' rather than 'Animals'] is help the meat purchaser to salve their conscience and assume (not even 'presume' because nobody goes and looks before forming that opinion) that they have done their bit to make the world better. Meat eating has not, does not, and never will make the world better - it will only ever make it worse: for the sentient, sociable creatures we create and eat; for the environment the industry damages; for the health of mankind both individually and as a species. Since COV, we've had SARS, MERS, bird flus, swine flus, Ebola and now COVID19. If we keep creating and eating animals by the trillions per year; if we keep fishing them out of the wild and scoffing them, we will just keep getting spillover diseases like these. And, one time, we'll get something with the impact of 1918 Spanish flu again. And if our scientists don't (yet again) manage to pull our chestnuts out of the fire we've put them in, then... well, I think that'll be Game Over for global human civilisation. And if that falls... well, we have the power to destroy ourselves completely now - to send the race extinct; during previous social collapses that's not been the case.

Anyway, I've drifted. But it's hard not to when contemplating folly of these levels. I look forward to reading the rest of the book, though I think this is going to take me some weeks - I am mixing about one part Earthling Ed (what people do when they don't look, or think) to ten parts James Webb (what people can do when they /do/).

But it's very eloquently and skilfully written, and in a fairly... passive (?) sense. There's less judgementalism than in my comments above for example. Which is a good thing. It's not easy to write without venom when one is deeply immersed and regularly exposed to such horror.

So yes, good book. Plant-eaters and those heading that way will gain oomph to fortify your (correct) stance, should you need it (not all non-carnies are deeply informed) and will give info to those who are able to use it (help convince others to look and think).

But it is not an easy read. But seeing foul and damaging systems, for what they truly are is never easy because such systems always (for obvious reasons) get hidden away.

Earthling Ed is brilliant. Everyone should read this book

Reviewed in the United Kingdom on 8 January 2022

I went vegan in 2019 after years of thinking that vegan were proper weird. Ed was a massive source of inspiration encouraging a questioning around so many assumptions we have about how we relate to animals. In this book Ed is honest about his own journey from dedicated meat eater to vegan activist. It is about compassion for all and understanding. Everyone can and should become vegan and we will all be better for it, human animals and non human animals alike
