My video review "Debating veganism"

Today, veganism is a very popular lifestyle and many people consider it normal.

Veganism is a lifestyle that improves our health and the planet. According there are now around 3.5 million full-time vegans in the UK and the number is growing. Advocates of veganism say their healthy lifestyle would also free up space and resources for growing food and it would help reduce greenhouse gas emissions.

Dr Jutta Tobias Mortlock, a senior lecturer in organisational psychology at London's City University, who explained why views about veganism are so polarised - that 'means causing people to divide into two groups with opposing views'. When we argue over the rights and wrongs of veganism, we base it on our values – not hard facts. We talk about our view on what is immoral – so what society thinks is wrong or not acceptable. But basically, there is no right or wrong answer. According to Dr Jutta, there are two main routes to winning someone over: a direct, fact-based approach or a 'peripheral route'.

You might not focus on the central facts. You might focus on the peripheral stuff around how you construct your argument. Peripheral stuff – these are the things that are not as important as the main argument but are connected to it.

And we must remember as a decent human beings, we respect all views here.
