An excellent documentary highlighting the incredible secrecy of the animal agriculture industry, as well as the devastating impacts that the meat and dairy industries have on the environment.
It's particularly relevant seeing as Hampton Creek, a company making a vegan egg substitute that was featured in the documentary, was recently targeted by government officials lobbied by the egg industry.
It also makes an effort to engage with the arguments of people who support more sustainable meat, such as Michael Pollan, but demonstrates that everyone would still need to drastically reduce meat consumption even if so-called sustainable meat were available. As it happens, the documentary demonstrates that it's highly questionable that grass-fed or backyard meat is the answer.
