His follow up How To Argue With a Meat Eater (And Win Every Time) is out now, and Winters will be introducing the book to Bristol audiences on January 26, at Waterstones, The Galleries during a UK book tour.
Aiming to provide readers with sound critical thinking skills and the knowledge to better equip them in conversation with staunch carnivores, he hopes the book “will arm you with powerful facts and insights that will give pause to even the most devout meat eater”.

“If you are a vegan,” he says, “you’ll know all too well how provocative it can be – you never know when you’ll be challenged or how.
“But being able to face down and rebut arguments against veganism is hugely important. Not just because many of the arguments lack substance, but because every interaction provides a pivotal moment to create change.”
An Evening with Ed Winters is at Waterstones, The Galleries on January 26 at 7pm. Tickets are available from www.waterstones.com.
