This film dives into the common reasons why people have such a difficult time changing their view, beliefs, and diet when presented with new information. The paradigms we've been conditioned to believe our entire lives come to a crash with new evidence about how too much meat, dairy, and eggs are for our health, the well-being of the planet, and the animals.

When our deeply entrenched beliefs are questioned, it's natural, even biological, to get defensive and have a hard time not only changing, but even wanting to change. We want to stay in our habits and believe they are right, much like politics. But is that the best for us? The evidence is now abundantly clear and overwhelming, more plant-based foods are better for our health, and too much animal products increase chronic disease risk across the board. Whether we want to turn a blind eye to it or confront it and change for the betterment of our lives, is another story.

I usually like slower foreign films, but this one was not even that interesting. Much better choices out there than to waste 3.5 hours. There was no real twist or turn or suspense to keep me interested. It took me a few bathroom breaks and falling asleep a few times to get through this marathon of a movie.

I can usually appreciate the slow-ness and dialogue of good movies but this one just didn't do it for me.

Even if there were some minor decent scenes, overall this movie was a bore and shouldn't be considered in your foreign film movie choices in my opinion. Save yourself previous time and find something else.

Animal agriculture: It uses more land than plant-based farming It uses more water than plant-based farming It kills more animals than plant-based farming It pollutes more than plant-based farming It destroys more wildlife habitats than plant-based farming It creates more zoonotic diseases than plant-based farming It produces less calories than plant-based farming It is more expensive than plant-based farming.

It's time we evolve or we won't have a planet to live on soon.

Just eat plant-based versions of your favorite foods, along with beans, fruits, vegetables, grains, nuts.

It's healthier, better for the planet, and much better for the animals.
