Eating Animals

Movie gives good explanation about future of farming. I like the farmers perspective and solutions they provided. As I see they predicted ongoing pandemic so I guess and I hope they are also right about reducing meat producing in the future. Everyone should watch it even of ot is or not vegetarian. It's eye opener for non vegetarians and it gives good perspective to vegetarians about farmers, they problems and possible solutions. It's also covering the true facts about why everything in the way we eat now is wrong. It's good for educational point so you can spread them to the world and try to make impact on other people to reduse meat consumption too.

The truth always prevails! If this doesnt make you consider becoming at least vegetarian, then, i dont know whats wrong with you. Get your morals straight.

This documentary takes you on a journey that makes you question your eating choices. What type meat you want to eat having looked at the conditions of the current animal farming, breeding and meat processing locations. It makes you question the need of meat in your own life and should one make an informed choice on where to get it from , reduce consumption or even move to plant based alternatives. Having watched it, I am questioning the source of my meat and if I have to make a better choice for my own life atleast.

I will suggest: just watch it without assumptions in your mind and see where it takes you. And ask questions to yourself along the way.

'Eating Animals', is a documentary co-produced and narrated by Natalie Portman that chronicles the obstacles that several farmers across the country have in holding on to the traditions of individual farming in light of the predominant industry farming such as Tyson, Perdue, etc. Now know this...I adore beef, pork, chicken but the movie brought home to me two major facts that might actually change (baby steps!!) the way I either a) purchase meats and/or b) reduce the amount of meat I consume. Why? Well, like all good documentaries, 'Eating Animals' enlightened and educated me. Sure, I already knew that if confronted with images and knowledge of the living conditions, antibiotic use, and callous deaths, of these respective animals, I would cringe. But the movie brings up a good point-I might SAY that's inhumane, but by continuing to buy and eat then I am COMPLICIT regarding the problem. Sure, the movie paints 'big corporation' as evil (I don't subscribe to broad brush labeling), but it does drive home the fact that local farmers love their animals even though they know that the end result is that the animals they care for must serve as food. It's the process that should be indicted. I wish the movie would have delved a bit further into the many different, important topics it brings up, but, nonetheless, it educated me to a point that I went and purchased grilled 'chicken' from one of the companies spotlighted in the movie. As always, that's what I look for in a quality documentary.

If you consume meat, please watch. It's more than pro-vegetarian, it shows the negative effects mass animal farming has on the land and the animals that are consumed. Don't google, "pink lagoon" especially if you live in NC... Informative without using sensationalism.
