In Conversation: Earthling Ed
How to Argue with a Meat Eater
This event is part of Conversations at the Kiln, a new event series at Kiln Theatre programmed by Intelligence Squared. For more events with speakers from the worlds of literature, art, poetry and politics, click here.
Ed Winters, known to his millions of online followers as Earthling Ed, has perfected the art of persuasion.
During his extensive career as an activist and educator, he has made the case for veganism everywhere from university campuses to live on GB News. His compelling and informative content has garnered millions of views, and earned him a dedicated following across online platforms.
Now on March 5 Earthling Ed joins us live at the Kiln Theatre to share his insights on how we can all become better conversationalists and critical thinkers. How can we productively engage with those who have opposing views? How can emotionally charged conversations become productive? And how can we engage others to create a more ethical, kind and sustainable world?
Drawing on the new paperback edition of his bestselling book, How to Argue with a Meat Eater (And Win Every Time), Ed will discuss how to debunk and respond to every argument against veganism: from classic conspiracy theories and questions over a lack of protein to newer issues surrounding processed vegan substitutes and more.
Hear from Ed live on stage, and have your questions answered in the Q&A.

“An absolute must-read – it shows how we can communicate incredibly emotive topics with confidence and compassion, and provides the reader with indispensable tools to express themselves clearly and persuasively.” Rich Roll
“Ed Winters builds on his groundbreaking debut book with a follow up that couldn’t be more timely or important. How to Argue With a Meat Eater is an empowering and deeply informative book that will leave readers more enriched and knowledgeable about veganism and how to argue effectively about it. Everyone would benefit from reading this book.” Moby
“A Swiss Army knife for debating.” Alexis Gauthier
“Life would have been so much easier if I had had this book when I stopped eating meat 52 years ago. I would have given away lots of copies to my meat-eating friends. If you do still eat meat but aren’t sure if there is an ethical justification for doing so, you need to read this book!” Peter Singe
