There's a very strong argument in it, that vegetarianism is the future.

Eating Animals is less about delivering a message than making a case, and it's unlikely your relationship with food will be unchanged after seeing this harrowing work.

4/5

Absorbing but horrifying, this hearts-and-minds documentary about factory farming is a conscientious survey of cruel practice in the name of cheap and convenient meat.

This movie is an urgent, eye-opening look at the environmental, economic, and public health consequences of factory farming. Tracing the history of food production in the United States, the film charts how farming has gone from local and sustainable to a corporate Frankenstein monster that offers cheap eggs, meat, and dairy at a steep cost: the exploitation of animals; the risky use of antibiotics and hormones; and the pollution of our air, soil, and water.
