Genres & Description

Documentary

6.8 / 10

Eating Animals is the feature-length documentary adaptation of Jonathan Safran Foer's critically acclaimed book of the same name. The film reveals through intimate narratives what has happened to our country in the past 40 years as we have moved away from traditional farming communities to massive industrial farming complexes that produce a seemingly endless supply of so-called "cheap" meat, eggs, and dairy. What starts out as a simple question - where does our meat come from? - quickly takes us down the rabbit hole of today's industrial animal agriculture and becomes an exploration of the ultimate stakes of eating animals, the destruction of farming, and the complete unwinding of the American mythos.

All actors/models/celebrities are such hypocrites, you are against eating meat but are quite happy to promote beauty products that are tested on animals all for the sake of money and vanity, shame on you all. How can you sleep at night. I suppose seen all that money going into your bank accounts makes it worth while. - @Friday, November 9, 2018 4:20 PM

Start by not eating meat 1 meal a day. Then 1 day in a week, then 3 days in a week without meat. Because it is hard to stop when there is less available fruits and veges. But at least u can gradually stop eating meat and killing these innocent animals - @Friday, November 2, 2018 11:15 AM

Watched this movie, scrolled through the comments. Not one I saw even mentions the underlying issue. There’s more than 5 billion people on the planet. It’s just math folks... Sure, we’ll probably never see the 12 billionth person born, but we already have an unsustainable number of people at 7.6 billion. Remember, we are talking about the ability to have basic survival needs met, such as fresh water. 250,000 people are still being added to the planet every. Single. Day. Yes, capitalism and our current system relies heavily on assuming we will keep adding consumers, but we’ve already gone past the sustainable number of humans. All we have to do is stop having so many children, an average of 1 per household , and within 2-3 generations we as a human race could bring ourselves down to a sustainable level. Sure, you’ll have a lot of empty homes. Yes, our current financial system will crash hard. However, we won’t populate ourselves out of existence. This type of farming wouldn’t be necessary to feed the population. Even something like a world war wouldn’t solve the current issue. In 50-100 years we’d quickly be right back in the same boat. The only humane solution one can see is global awareness, making sure the child mortality rate is the best possible (underdeveloped countries have more children because they still lose them, so there’s a strong innate biological drive to keep reproducing), and positive peer pressure against persons who have more than 1-2 children by choice. Even if every person on the planet switched to being vegan today, it’s not enough, nor is it _remotely_ realistic to expect everyone to convert over to a vegan lifestyle in 2-3 generations. It’s a highly uncomfortable topic, but as a human race we really need to start talking about personal responsibility in reproduction and relation to the rest of humanity. The only other choices are 1. At best, a much lower quality of life in the very near future, 2. Massive famine, disease, and overall human misery, or 3. Extinction of the human race. Will science, AI, and technology solve the issue? Well yes, but you’re likely not gonna like the solution. - @Friday, November 2, 2018 5:02 AM

Nope will not work because as soon as people start to pay attention then the looney veggie only idiots on the left will start in with their over emotional bullshit and people will tune it ouit again .

I agree that killing defenceless animals for our food is wrong, but the issue most people have with vegans their attempt to force their views on people to change. change the way you show people the benefits of vegan eating instead of making it appear that vegans are all crazy... I invite anyone to explain to me how I'm wrong? - @Thursday, November 1, 2018 9:49 PM

SUSTAINABLE??? *LMAOROF!!!!* And from all the videos popping up like crazy on youtube, especially as of lately, the "sustainability" of vegan individuals doesn't seem to last much longer than 10 years, when they finally realize their teeth are rotting away, their hair, their skin and their body in general is in miserable shape. LOL!!! Veganism is an urban mental disorder turned into a CULT. I love watching videos of ex-vegans telling us just how screwed up this "diet" got them. - @Thursday, November 1, 2018 12:45 AM

Animals are living beings, no food. The animals feel, like humans joy and pain, happiness and unhappiness. As long as people think that animals do not feel, animals feel that humans do not think. - @Saturday, October 27, 2018 2:52 PM

Sympathy is a trait that many animal species have. They sympathise with other animals of their species and help them. In humans this sympathy reaches further than their own species as can be seen by the taming of dogs, cats and livestock for a mutual benefit thus we have developed sympathy for animals. We call this being humane. What is also called being humane is preventing harm to anything that feels pain. When it comes to mass production of animal products compared to traditional farming methods, loving the animal doesn't matter. The only difference between more and less humanely treated animals is how you feel about it yourselves. Both farming methods have perks but banning humans from eating meat is like banning intercourse, eating meat is natural and it needs to happen. - @Saturday, October 20, 2018 8:28 AM

I have been filming independant farmers and ranchers. Their values and what they choose to include in the growth of their animals matters too. In fact, they begin what these factors finish most of the time. Farmers too, have to be accountable. It's all about accountability. Lets not hope for change, lets make change. - @Thursday, October 18, 2018 7:21 PM

You want to eat animals? Eat it the proper way then: 1. Catch the animal with your bare hands 2. Smash the animal 3. No need to cook, fry, bake, or season the meat just kill or start eating while it's still alive if you have no shame 4. No leftovers, eat everything - @Monday, October 15, 2018 7:50 PM

Look at the history of evolution. If humans had not eaten meat they would never have gained complicated thought therefore would be just like the cow in the fields eating 18 hours a day to get the nutrients we needed just to sustain existence. Eating meat gave humans the ability to do other things than just eat all day and free up time to daydream, create and invent our way to the top of the food chain. Do your research because I can clearly see the vegan comments compared to the comments of the omnivore and yeah the vegans are duh dreaming lol. They are already de-evolving in front of our eyes one comment at a time. Even Jesus fed the poor with fish lol. I'm not religious but damn even the nuthead crazies who wrote the bible were like hell no we like the hell outta fish and meat who would be so crazy as to think all we can eat is bushes lol. Probably lost some of you on the whole religious thing but hey it was the best comparison I had off hand. See not enough meat today before writing this comment can't think straight. - @Wednesday, September 26, 2018 10:36 PM

I understand how many people do want everyone to be vegan but this is a start at least- ethically farming. Of course it would be great if everyone went vegan but it is not going to happen overnight and especially here in Mexico were most people over eat meat and there isn´t a "popular/recognized" organization here to uncover the industry (or at least I havn´t heard of any). Whenever I do speak up about these issues I´ve found that people here don´t care to listen or assume they can´t or just don´t want to change their way of living. They want everything to be easy and don´t bother to see the effects that their habits cause. I would love to see a change here or at least have the peace of mind that the animals had a respectful life. - @Sunday, September 2, 2018 1:26 AM

These idiots that think that they can come on to a chicken farm which is private property, without the farmers permission, are no better than any other trespasser! A huge dislike from a former KFC chicken catcher (when I was a young teen in the 70's) and a chicken eater!!! In fact, as a cyclist, my main diet consists of chicken and fish. The only reason I don't eat red meat very much is because it takes longer to digest as useful protein when I need it. If we weren't meant to eat meat then why do we have canine teeth? We will never as a society live without eating meat unless there are no more sources of animal meat available. If that time comes, and there are no more sources of animal meat available, well, there's always the vegetarians! LOL! - @Thursday, July 19, 2018 11:39 PM

Portman is starting to get people enraged .. she can crawl back into her Own hole and let society live . By her comparing slaughter of animals to the holocaust is a disgusting comparison . Her grandparents and family that either survived the war or died are turning over in there graves . Eating animal meat has been the food for humans since mankind can remember and she will not change it . If you believe in god and the Bible you know that for a fact . If you kill a animal in a way that it has the least pain you have done it right ... Portman don’t think because your pretty and act like a slut in movies you can tell us what’s good for society .... how about less misogyny and adult acting in your Hollywood movies will help us humans in society that our kids will grow up to understand what’s right or wrong ??? All these celebs care about is there image and there message . Go back from where you came from . Stop with your nonsense .... - @Thursday, July 19, 2018 7:49 PM

All of you people who demonize people for eating meat, yet take pride and promote the eating of fruits/vegetables/plants are monstrous hypocrites!! You complain about people eating meat yet have no issue with the eating of fruits and vegetables. Those plants once had a happy life and were slaughtered for your self righteous mass consumption. Shame on all of you, shame, shame!!!! - @Thursday, July 19, 2018 7:04 PM

I will be eating extra meat over the next year in honor of this video. And since I butcher my own calves & pigs for consumption it will be even better. I also hunt and eat a lot of venison and wild turkey. Yum. Delish. Looking forward to the next year. - @Thursday, July 19, 2018 4:08 PM
