"I like to see people reunited, I like to see people run to each other, I like the kissing and the crying, I like the impatience, the stories that the mouth can't tell fast enough, the ears that aren't big enough, the eyes that can't take in all of the change, I like the hugging, the bringing together, the end of missing someone." — Jonathan Safran Foer — — — #JonathanSafranFoer #quote #quotes #reunion #miss #missing #hugging #kissing #crying #togetherness

I recommended one of my good non-vegan friends a number of films with a #vegan POV, and he thanked me for the recommendations. In turn he suggested I check out the movie #EatingAnimals, directed by #ChristopherQuinn. I see that it is the film adaptation of the book by the same name, written by #JonathanSafranFoer. I had ambivalence in buying the book when I saw it on the shelves last Christmas, and chose against it in the end due to Foer not being vegan.

The movie however I felt I was able to watch online, and so in respect to my friends recommendation, I gave it a chance. The movie I have to say, I did enjoy, though I was disappointed it didn't promote a stronger #veganism message.

It ticks some things for me:
-Factory farming animals is bad. ✅
-Shows how farmers are stuck in a contract with big corporations to do their bidding. ✅
-Showcasing the incredible amount of feces that gets dumped in the environment, polluting our planet. ✅
-Talks about the excessive antibiotic use on these animals. ✅

But it also has some crosses for me:
-It tried to make it seem if we went to "the good old days" then the animals will be happy. Environmentally, going to the good old days is not feasible. ❌
-It talks about humanely raised animal meat and animal dairy. That is unfortunately a bit of an #oxymoron. ❌

Overall, I will thank my friend for the recommendation, and in turn, suggest he check out #Dominion. 😂
