I am a man of many appetites. I like a good steak. I like a nice piece of chicken and all the delicacies the food meat world offers. I must admit I hardly ever stop and think of the journey of the meat on my plate.
In Eating Animals you are taking on a historical perspective of the evolution of food meat production. They compare the historical traditional methods of raising animals. Which today you would classify as cage free raised foods to the large scale industrial farms. In the film they showcase large production houses that main focus is to produce high amount of animal food products.
There you discover the use of harsh conditions for the animal. Like hormone injections, genetic modification and intense production schedules with tough housing conditions and large amount of waste. Some of the scenes really bring to light the complexity of producing enough food for the increasing worldwide demand. This movie will make you think and become more aware of all that goes into bringing that $.99 hamburger special on the menu.
I don't think I was discourage from consuming meats but definitely made aware of a complex issue. Overall a good quality film that sheds light to a global issue. Dr Wilson Triviño
