Cowspiracy

[MentalGiant]

Everything in Cowspiracy has been well know in the vegan community for years and years. Similarly to "Earthlings" a lot of people who used to just write off this stuff as "conspiracy nut/vegan extremist bullshit" actually had to confront rather compelling evidence their own thinking may be flawed after watching these types of documentaries. The question becomes, how far has the truth been stretched and what to do about it as an individual? 

Though I am a long time vegan, I am also a realist and recognize the world won't stop consuming flesh, non-human lactation or poultry menstruation overnight or even in my lifetime. I think sometimes the most realistic option to convince the masses to try (which is reduction in consumption, not elimination from their diets entirely) is overshadowed by extremism, shock value and stretching the truth by overly-zealous vegans. I do hope whomever has seen this at least took away from it that modern factory farming is not sustainable and that reducing consumption is an option for those too scared to give up animal products completely. My thought is, every small step in the right direction is better than the status quo.
