This film has a 94% percent positive rating on Rotten
Tomatoes. How much do you know about the food that's on your plate? Based on the
bestselling book by Jonathan Safran Foer and narrated by co-producer Natalie
Portman, Eating Animals 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. Spotlighting farmers who have pushed backed against
industrial agriculture with more humane practices, Eating Animals offers
attainable, commonsense solutions to a growing crisis while making the case
that ethical farming is not only an animal rights issue but one that affects
every aspect of our lives.
