Dialogue: 0,0:00:04.49,0:00:09.02,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,another installment of my interview with vegan\Nactivist Gary Yourofsky. Now, if you’re vegan
Dialogue: 0,0:00:09.02,0:00:13.75,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,or even considering being vegan, chances are\Nyou’ve come up against some anti-vegan
Dialogue: 0,0:00:13.75,0:00:17.95,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,arguments. Perhaps you’ve even\Nposed some of them yourself in the time leading
Dialogue: 0,0:00:17.95,0:00:22.41,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,up to being vegan. While legitimate questions\Nand concerns from non-vegans can serve as
Dialogue: 0,0:00:22.41,0:00:27.35,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,teaching moments and are valuable opportunities\Nfor education, some anti-vegan arguments are
Dialogue: 0,0:00:27.35,0:00:32.39,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,purely baseless and made only to provoke.\NIn his vast experience working with non-vegans,
Dialogue: 0,0:00:32.39,0:00:36.67,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,Gary Yourofsky has probably heard every line\Nof reasoning in the book. So, I decided to
Dialogue: 0,0:00:36.67,0:00:41.60,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,ask him what is the best anti-vegan argument.\NLet’s check out his answer and then I’ll
Dialogue: 0,0:00:41.60,0:00:45.45,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,jump back in with what I think is the strongest\Nargument against veganism.
Dialogue: 0,0:00:49.75,0:00:53.10,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,Emily: So you would know more than anyone\Nelse that there are a lot of stupid arguments
Dialogue: 0,0:00:53.10,0:00:58.74,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,against veganism. What would you say is the\Nbest argument against veganism, if there is
Dialogue: 0,0:00:58.74,0:01:02.63,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,one?\NGary: There’s not, honestly. I swear I racked
Dialogue: 0,0:01:02.63,0:01:08.86,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,my brain over this, there is none. In fact\NI had a professor down here, from university
Dialogue: 0,0:01:08.86,0:01:15.83,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,of central Florida, who once told me the only\Nreason he became veg is because all the arguments
Dialogue: 0,0:01:15.83,0:01:20.74,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,he heard against it were stupid. That was\Nhis reason. He was a philosopher, he said:

Dialogue: 0,0:01:31.17,0:01:37.05,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,logical argument. It doesn’t exist. But\Ndo¬n’t think that I’m exaggerating or being
Dialogue: 0,0:01:37.05,0:01:42.51,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,hyperbolic when I say this, because there\Nis not one good argument for raping a child.

Dialogue: 0,0:02:00.40,0:02:04.52,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,to enslave, murder and oppress the animals\Nand consume their body parts.
Dialogue: 0,0:02:04.52,0:02:08.82,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,Emily: I hope you enjoyed hearing Gary’s\Ntake on this matter. I have to say that my thinking
Dialogue: 0,0:02:08.82,0:02:13.23,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,is rather in line with what Gary shared. In\Nmy recent interview with the popular blog
Dialogue: 0,0:02:13.23,0:02:17.93,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,Vegan Street, when asked what I thought was\Nthe biggest strength of the vegan movement,
Dialogue: 0,0:02:17.93,0:02:22.62,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,I said it was that we have the truth on our\Nside. There’s no way to logically justify
Dialogue: 0,0:02:22.62,0:02:27.83,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,what we do to animals for our food, fashion,\Nmedicine, and entertainment. All the facts
Dialogue: 0,0:02:27.83,0:02:32.08,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,and all the legitimate arguments are on our\Nside. This is reflected in the absurdity that
Dialogue: 0,0:02:32.08,0:02:35.29,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,often arises when people try to justify their\Nbehaviors.
Dialogue: 0,0:02:35.29,0:02:39.84,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,You can read my answers to the other 9 questions\Nin the interview on the Vegan Street blog,

Dialogue: 0,0:02:42.15,0:02:46.85,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,Now all of that said, I do have to admit there\Nis one argument someone can lay down for eating
Dialogue: 0,0:02:46.85,0:02:51.61,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,animal products that I have absolutely no\Ndefense against. And that is the statement
Dialogue: 0,0:02:51.61,0:02:56.95,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,“I don’t care.” If someone simply does\Nnot care what happens to the animals, the environment,

Dialogue: 0,0:03:02.06,0:03:07.04,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,of billions of animals, I certainly can’t\Nsay anything that's going to change that. Complete

Dialogue: 0,0:03:09.77,0:03:15.11,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,Now of course it’s not an actual defeat\Nof vegan principles. As Gary and I have said,
Dialogue: 0,0:03:15.11,0:03:20.49,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,veganism has logic on our side. All the arguments\Nagainst it are shell games, admittedly by some

Dialogue: 0,0:03:25.89,0:03:30.15,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,is possible. And for those people, I will\Nalways have time and patience
Dialogue: 0,0:03:30.15,0:03:34.21,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,Now I’d love to hear from you on this. Have\Nyou ever come up against a formidable argument
Dialogue: 0,0:03:34.21,0:03:40.59,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,against veganism? Perhaps you have one yourself?\NI’d love to hear it. …Unless it’s “bacon.”
Dialogue: 0,0:03:41.33,0:03:46.58,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,That’s a word, not an argument. But\Nsomeone’s going to post it anyways.
