About this audiobook

Brought to you by Penguin.

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.

Love this book. As someone who stopped eating animals the second I discovered meat is animal corpses. due to this, I don't have access to the "I used to believe just like you."/"I was no better." lines or experience, which helps build a lot of trust and commonality with meat-eaters. The idea that it's okay and normal for anyone to willingly enact this sort of oppression onto another being, it was never something I believed in or accepted. It is fundamental that we understand how others attempt to justify their actions and beliefs, otherwise challenging them (or even realizing they may have merit) is impossible. I recognized immediately that using any animal, human or not, like they are mindless products is bad, and thus needed as much help as I could get understanding how anyone could turn a blind eye or excuse such blatant cruelty towards other beings. This book was immensely helpful with that.

Ed Winters speaks with great compassion and yet with such a strength. This book puts light on the truth that is hiding in almost everyone of us. Once one sees clearly the absurdity of what we do to animals and to ourselves all the confusion goes away. Being humans gives us the choice to become human beings. Thank you to the author!

Outstanding! Fully recommend to all vegans and non vegans alike. Ed is so articulate, thoughtful and intelligent. His delivery and style make it an easy, yet thought provoking read/listen. There's no better educator on this topic in the world today. This book will be read and reread for years to come!
