Eating Our Way to Extinction

This documentary starts out strong with a bold premise, supported by searing images, flashy data, great editing work, and the fascinating accent of A-lister Kate Winslet. I learn a few things, like how algae pills are a much more direct, cleaner source of Omega 3s than fish. However, at the end, it becomes preachy, devolving into another mediocre show callously imposing a plant-based diet. "Eating Our Way to Extinction" neglects exploring the reason why humans continue to have an appetite for meat flavor. The fact that it showcases consumers being amazed at how the "fake meat" tastes exactly like real meat only promotes the reality that people will continue to crave that meaty taste. Until you explore why, you cannot effectively and sincerely expect people to abruptly stop eating meat.

Loads and loads of well verified facts along with a beautifully shot film. Not preachy like other films. Definitely worth watching... in fact an important film and a must see.

Wow, what a documentary! It is powerful, emotional and entertaining and hits the nail on the head with all its facts.

It has opened my eyes greatly to the effects of humanity upon our natural world, and has given me the drive to make the small changes in my life, making a big positive impact.

Well done to the creators! I'm a hard person to change, but you've done it!

Just watched this documentary, I found it wonderfully presented. Resonates with the truth scientist tell, but it's same truth that people have been telling to humans from past few decades. It's more about telling the truth what humans are doing to this planet, but I can understand it must be hard to accept for many people because it tries to wake humans up that they are doing something wrong to themselves and to the future of our planet. The majority of humans want to live in a fantasy world, and to hear beautiful words and praises for themselves even when they are doing the opposite. 6.6/10 is not a good enough rating for this amazing work, if the majority of people have eyes to see their wrongdoings and hear true words the world would be different, and we might not need to watch this documentary. This is must watch for one who is brave enough to accept his/her mistakes to correct them, not for fantasy lovers.

This is well-researched, clearly articulated, and quite frankly terrifying stuff. EATING OUR WAY TO EXTINCTION makes you want to slap people in the face with your knowledge.
