Eating Animals is the feature-length documentary adaptation of Jonathan Safran Foer's critically acclaimed book of the same name.

There's inherent cruelty in that system. I look back on it now and I say, 'How could I not see that?' Maybe it's like if you don't wear glasses and you can't see real well and you put your glasses on and then, 'Wow, there's a whole new world out there.' Maybe it was sort of like that.

This truly is eye opening. We need more films and people trying to tell the truth about where their meat is coming from. I appreciate everyone who put this film together but factory farming needs to stop and it's making us all sick. This is educating the public and I thank you. Please think about these beautiful sentient souls that deserve a healthy. happy life.
