ABOUT THE OXFORD UNION SOCIETY: The Oxford Union is the world's most prestigious debating society, with an unparalleled reputation for bringing international guests and speakers to Oxford. Since 1823, the Union has been promoting debate and discussion not just in Oxford University, but across the globe.
The Oxford Union is deeply grateful and encouraged by the messages of support in response to our determination to uphold free speech. During our 200 year history, many have tried to shut us down. As the effects of self-imposed censorship on university campuses, social media and the arts show no signs of dissipating, the importance of upholding free speech remains as critical today as it did when we were founded in 1823. Your support is critical in enabling The Oxford Union to continue its mission without interruption and without interference. You can support the Oxford Union here: oxford-union.org/supportus

I watched the entire debate , the vegan speakers were putting forward their arguments where as the other team particularly the two female speakers making mean and personal attacks on their opposing team specifically about Disha. This is not a platform for your personal vendetta, Must say Disha handled all the nasty remarks with a remarkable grace

While he did a great job with the limited time he had, vegan diets can indeed be healthier than omnivorous diets and veganism should be supported for many reasons, his health claims are highly exaggerated. His exaggeration is unfortunate because overselling the effects of plant-based diets can create distrust of research that supports our transition away from animal agriculture.
@carothehonestpeanut

Why would it do that? He is talking about whole plant based foods vs meat and dairy. Not that all vegan food is healthy.. but that cutting out the meat and dairy will make you healthier.
@VeggoFix
@VeggoFix 7 ай бұрын
@@carothehonestpeanut There is no doubt that cutting out animal foods and replacing them with healthy, or even processed, vegan options has beneficial health effects in most people. Many people, however, will not experience such great benefits as he claims and then they might abandon veganism or even become anti-vegan. For instance, vegans are protected against several cancers, but not by the extent he claims. So now even some cancer cases amongst vegans become cases against veganism and makes people wary of the fact that a vegan diet is healthy in general because unfortunately many people have issues with nuance, unlike yourself.
