Yes, it is a...I'm so glad you are sharing this. Yes, it is a difficult watch, but it is life changing. I went vegetarian "cold turkey" if you will after seeing this six years ago. With your help, I'm now on a very exciting road to becoming vegan, and I'm loving every minute of it.<br /><br />In regards to Earthings, although my husband watched it he hasn't become a vegetarian, but he is certainly more conscious about what he eats, and definitely has more compassion towards animals. We don't bring any meat into our house anymore, and he's fine with that. He is reading the Omnivore's Dilemma because I really think he wants to become a vegetarian, but it's just not the right time for him. I believe it's coming though.<br /><br />I think if anyone actually has the nerve to yell at you or verbally beat up about this, in my opinion it's their own guilt nagging at them. And when you have that kind of guilt, you need to act on it. I just don't believe that you get to be shielded from the truth...make your choices, but you still need to know the truth.<br /><br />Not only is this film truthful in how animals are raised (and killed) for food, but how we as a society treat them in every aspect of our life. The clothing and entertainment industry are huge abusers as well. We NEED to make the connection.<br /><br />You rock, Kim. Don't let anyone tell you anything different.Katherinenoreply@blogger.com
