Charlie Kirk, Ben Shapiro, and some popular TikTok stars are the first big names to join Jubilee's new series, Surrounded. The format is straightforward: a single individual, often representing a minority or controversial viewpoint, is surrounded by others holding opposing views. They sit at a table with a 20-minute timer, awaiting a participant to debate against pre-selected prompts or claims. The show covers various topics, mainly political, like "Democrats vs. Republicans" or "Cops vs. Criminals." However, it begs the question: why not explore "Vegans vs. Non-Vegans"?

This format has garnered millions of views, demonstrating that audiences are eager for discourse on controversial matters. If Jubilee can host debates like Republicans vs. Democrats, why not showcase a Vegans vs. Non-Vegans segment? With only 1-3% of the global population identifying as vegan, misconceptions about veganism—like fossil fuel use or bodybuilding—are rampant. A skilled vegan debater could challenge these misunderstandings, arguing that rejecting veganism leads to logical or moral inconsistencies. Featuring such a debate could expose non-vegans to fresh perspectives and create room for critical discussion, especially considering the upcoming Veganuary.

If Jubilee can showcase these kinds of debates with political and social figures, they could certainly take the opportunity to explore the ethical complexities of veganism. This segment could challenge overconfidence in societal norms while encouraging deeper reflection on moral positions people rarely confront. In light of this, Jubilee should consider this unique and impactful debate.  If you're interested in seeing this happen, make your voice heard by signing this petition for it.
