Good movie, but I wanted more from it! I’ve been a vegetarian for years, and I want to know where the food I eat comes from, since the film focuses mainly on the meat industry. Nothing in the film shocked me all that much because, like most vegetarians, I’ve seen PETA’s Meet your Meat videos and all that. I try to eat local and organic when I can, but my boyfriend and I are both poor college students, so it’s not always possible. In that case, it’s sometimes best to turn a blind eye, or I’d be too horrified, disgusted, and depressed to ever eat anything.
On a related note, a book I thought was pretty good is Skinny Bitch. It’s not so much a diet book as a become-a-vegan book. They have some interesting facts about the meat industry and the milk/egg industry as well. They almost had me convinced, but it seemed a bit biased, and possibly had some faulty research. Interesting and very entertaining for those who are not easily offended!
