Eating Our Way to Extinction

'Eating Our Way to Extinction,' narrated by Kate Winslet, Eating Our Way to Extinction is the latest must-see documentary focusing on the environmental and health impacts of animal agriculture. It's beautifully shot, taking viewers on a worldwide journey to explore Amazonian rainforests, in the Taiwanese mountains and Mongolian deserts, as well as the Norwegian Fjords and Scottish coastline. But along the way come stark warnings of ecological collapse, direct from the indigenous communities most affected by the climate emergency. Including interviews with globally renowned figures and leading scientists, the film packs a punch when it comes to laying bare the inefficiency of our food systems, climate chaos, wildlife loss, world hunger, poverty and the spread of zoonotic disease (infectious diseases spread from animals to humans) - ringing the alarm bells about destructive human activities. Yet it is quick to promote plant-based diets as a very real solution to slowing global heating and even reversing some of the damaging effects of intensive farming. Although the subject matter is complex and at times can feel overwhelming, there's a message of hope throughout. The filmmakers encourage viewers to take personal responsibility for environmental protection by addressing our own eating habits and have created a vegan meal plan on their website for those looking to make such positive changes.
