Top 20 Ed Winters Quotes (2024 Update)

Ed Winters Quote: “Every time we eat, we have the power to radically transform the world we live in and simultaneously contribute to addressing many of the most pressing issues that our species currently faces: climate change, infectious disease, chronic disease, human exploitation and, of course, non-human exploitation. Every single day, our choices can help alleviate all of these problems or they can perpetuate them.”
Ed Winters Quote: “Veganism is instead a social justice issue that recognises that non-human animals deserve autonomy, moral consideration and the recognition that their lives are far more valuable than the reasons we use to justify exploiting them.”
Ed Winters Quote: “A fascinating example of this idea is that farmers love their animals and want only the best for them, while still profiting from sending them to a slaughterhouse to be killed. It is undeniably a contradiction to claim to love someone who you intend to kill for money.”
Ed Winters Quote: “The study showed that even though meat and dairy take up 83 per cent of global agricultural land, they only provide 18 per cent of global calories and 37 per cent of global protein consumption.”
Ed Winters Quote: “A ten-day old baby, whose only experience of life is being take way from their mother, loaded into a truck and driven to a slaughterhouse, is left in the cold overnight on a concrete floor before their throat is cut, all so we can pour their mother’s milk over our cornflakes.”
Ed Winters Quote: “Veganism will come about as a result of the traits in humans that we are most proud of – ingenuity, intellectual honesty, progressiveness and self-reflection – while rejecting many of the traits that are most damaging – stubbornness, wilful ignorance, violence, selfishness and apathy. We are already seeing this in action, and though getting accurate population statistics is challenging, a clear theme is being revealed by polling and surveys: veganism is growing.”
Ed Winters Quote: “I could either bury my head in the sand, ignoring the feelings of guilt and discomfort that causing suffering to an animal created within me, or live by the new principles that I was beginning to form and change my lifestyle. I opted for the latter.”
Ed Winters Quote: “The stagnation of progress comes from apathy, complacency and the refusal to critically reflect.”
Ed Winters Quote: “Is it not strange that we call those who kill dogs animal abusers, those who kill pigs normal and those who kill neither extremists? Is it not odd that someone who smashes a car window to rescue a dog on a hot day is viewed as a hero but someone who rescues a piglet suffering on a farm is a criminal?”
Ed Winters Quote: “For all of our intelligence, we have still failed to grasp the simple reality that we need the planet more than the planet needs us.”
Ed Winters Quote: “The real problem is our mentality, a mentality that judges some lives to be less important because of the pleasure we get from consuming their flesh or wearing their skin. We have allowed our physical and intellectual capabilities to make us tyrants over every other species on this planet.”
Ed Winters Quote: “We have destroyed millions of years of evolution in the blink of an eye, quite literally bulldozing our way around this finite planet.”
Ed Winters Quote: “Why do dairy farmers deserve public support but oat farmers who produce oat milk don’t?”
Ed Winters Quote: “But does legality equal morality? Should something be accepted as ethical simply because it is allowed under law?”
Ed Winters Quote: “It is a clear indictment of how ingrained our state of cognitive dissonance is that we see attempts at moral consistency as signs of extremism. Is it not strange that we call those who kill dogs animal abusers, those who kill pigs normal and those who kill neither extremists? Is it not odd that someone who smashes a car window to rescue a dog on a hot day is viewed as a hero but some one who rescues a piglet suffering on a far is a criminal?”
Ed Winters Quote: “It is ironic that we believe that empathy and complex emotions only really exist in humans but we then fail to empathize with the animals who suffer at our hands.”
Ed Winters Quote: “The animal products on my plate existed because I paid people, albeit indirectly, to cause suffering to animals. Just because the knife wasn’t in my hand, or the blood on my clothes, I was still complicit – just as bloodstained, just as culpable.”
Ed Winters Quote: “This is the balancing act that vegans face: we either voice our objection and get labelled as extremist, militant, awkward or abnormal, or we stay silent and smile through the image of a cow having their throat cut that passes through our minds as we watch our loved ones bite into beef burgers. We either feel like we are betraying our morals out of fear of causing upset or find ourselves being labelled as preachy, forceful vegan extremists.”
Ed Winters Quote: “Furthermore, it seems back to front to worry about the extinction of animals who have been selectively bred and don’t exist naturally to begin with when our current system of animal agriculture is the number one driver of species extinction more generally.”
Ed Winters Quote: “Men encounter increasing pressure from their peers if they seem to want to choose a plant-based option, to the point where it becomes easier for the person to choose the meat option but psychologically distance themselves from the responsibility of the action by blaming on the person who is making them obedient.”
