    • Quotes

      Dorothy: [upon being served a plate of chicken] What's that? What did you do?

      Jeff: Mum, please.

      Dorothy: Where's the rest of her? Who did this?

      Jeff: Nobody did anything.

      Dorothy: Did you kill her?

      Jeff: Mum, I didn't kill it.

      Dorothy: It? She had a mother and a father, Jeff.

      Jeff: It's free range.

      Dorothy: What does that mean?

      Jeff: It means it was free range. It was a happy chicken running around a massive field with other happy chickens. It had a good life.

      Dorothy: Why do you keep saying "it"? I haven't seen any fields with birds wandering around. Where are they, Jeff? Where?

      Jeff: Mum, I'm really hungry.

      Dorothy: Well, have a cracker!

    Funny, effective, simply brilliant
    People feel judged before a vegan even opens their mouth's. Guilt and annoyance are very common associations with the vegan movement. Here, Simon Amstell, wipes that slate clean. We are all equally mocked and the absurdity creates equality so that we can all relax and watch a simultaneously informative, moving and utterly hilarious film. Whatever you eat you are, without a doubt, in for a treat. It's truly remarkable.
