Veganism - that’s not eating or using any products that come from animals, may be more than a fad . It could be a lifestyle that improves our health and the planet . According to some national surveys , 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. This issue touches on personal beliefs, and beliefs always trump facts , and often when we talk about beliefs, we're touching on important values. Values are the things that guide our opinion over what's right versus what's wrong. And so whenever people argue over whether it's right or wrong to eat meat, they are in fact not debating the facts around this issue, they're actually debating the beliefs about what's moral or immoral about this. There are two main routes to winning someone over: a direct, fact-based approach or a 'peripheral route', which might be more effective. Let's hear her explain how it works. Dr Jutta Tobias Mortlock say : If I'm working with you and I'm trying to get you to come round to my side, I might not focus on the central facts. I might focus on the periphery stuff around how I'm constructing my argument. I'd look for ways of how they overlap as people, like what do they have in common? And that's a way to debate an issue such as this controversial one in a way to get people to feel connected to each other and to actually feel that they value each other as decent human beings. Even if you don't want to be a vegan, you should respect someone's choice to be one. It's all about valuing someone as a decent human being. Decent means 'good and having good moral standards'.
So, everyone must respect each other's choices
