Sacred Cow: The Nutritional, Environmental and Ethical Case for Better Meat (2020)
Biased Movie
While the actual filming was beautiful, the movie was unfortunately a very biased view of the food related issues we face as we try to save the planet and the health of individuals. Joel Salatin and other small farmers are very correct about the need for carefully managed farms. The food choice is not one of vegan vs animals. We will always need ruminants to keep our soil viable. That much is obvious and the large CAFO operations need to become a thing of the past. The real problem is with the existence of food corporations which create, market and sell food-like products to our children and all of us who are forced to shop in markets full of nothing else. It is very possible to not only survive, but thrive (children included) on a vegan diet as long as it comes from whole foods. Millions of people all over the planet have done it successfully for hundreds of years. The choice is between real, whole food and non nutritious products that only make us sick. Our government should stop subsidizing these entities immediately. Meat eating is fine for many, but it isn't the issue that is killing us. I wish the film had focused on that instead of pitting vegan against meat eaters. That approach has never been and never will be helpful.
