Honestly right up front, I'm probably not the target audience for this type of documentary. I don't know too much about environmentalism. I don't particularly care about what happens and the likes of Al Gore and those make it off-putting. I'm pretty sure it's some type of carbon tax scam. I remember back in the late 80's when they were saying that the world was going to freeze over by now and California was supposed to sink into the ocean. That didn't turn out too well. One doomsday prediction after another just keeps passing without incident. How can we take them as credible?
Still I'm glad that I watched this. It was well made. It wasn't forceful or looking to guilt trip the viewer. It was polished and stylish. It was engaging and welcoming. I didn't detect any hard political slant.
I don't know enough to say if it's full of Chicken Little stuff but if even half of it is true it's concerning. I'm not even talking about concerning for future generations because I don't care about that. I don't have any kids. I'll be dead.
No, it's concerning right now for the quality of our food and what contaminants we're eating with it. I had no idea that fish farming was so toxic and disgusting. I eat canned tuna once in a while. Am I eating microplastics?
Here's the problem. Let's just assume that the film is 100% true. There's no realistic solution. Their sources are saying that the entire planet needs to reduce meat consumption by 80% to make a difference. That will never happen. A single person giving up their own meat intake is a joke. The industrial cattle farming machine is still going to march on either way. Being a cute vegan is futile.
I remember reading some time ago that they were working on lab-grown meats. What happened to it? THAT seems like the only possible way out because we can have our meat without the mass-farming of animals. It's win-win. Plus we won't have to worry about cruelty in the process anymore.
Anyway, again, I'm better for watching. I'm set to be the griller at a Father's Day BBQ today. This film will stick with me as I do so.
