Eating Our Way to Extinction

They don't TELL YOU to stop eating meat, they just give you some (beautifully shot) facts and yet here I am changing my diet...

Once you know, you know! I highly recommend...

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.

Fun facts from this documentary:

• Nestlé said in a 2009 report that the world will run out of fresh water by 2050.

• An estimated 18 million acres of forest are lost each year.

• By 2030 only 10% of all forests will remain.

• Since 1970 we have wiped out over 60% of animal populations on the planet.

• Over 26,000 species are currently being threatened with extinction.

• By 2045 the species loss will be so great the Earth will suffer ecological collapse.

• Over 75% of antibiotics produced around the world are being given to livestock.

• 30% of all fresh water use in the world is used for producing animal products.

A well-made, informative, important and eye-opening documentary that covers it all: burning rainforests, animal agriculture, microplastics in our ocean, extreme weather events, food shortages, and how we are currently in the sixth mass extinction event. Makes some very strong arguments that we should all be working towards plant based diets as soon as possible.

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!

The problem with so many vegan documentaries is that they are so sensationalist and instead of having respected scientists they use "researchers" to carry the so-called vegan agenda. When you watch things like Seaspiracy or Cowspiracy - whilst well-meaning - they are full of hooded characters all dressed in black like animal rights protesters at an ANTIFA convention and push extreme science and and anecdotal stories which will NEVER appeal to the masses.

Whats unique and very refreshing about Eating Our Way To Extinction is that is has moved past all that, and somehow miraculously manages to gently but powerfully push forward the same message of changing your food away from animal products, without being all preachy and "holier-than-thou".

As someone who has recently tried to change my diet for environmental reasons and struggled to do so for a few years, I found this film to be that push that I finally needed. I hope a lot of people get to watch this as I feel that it will appeal to a lot of people, in a way that previous attempts have never been able to.
