I first learned about the movie from Ellen Degeneres when she was speaking on behalf of veganism. Joaquin Phoenix is the narrator and Moby did the soundtrack so Im surprised I hadnt heard about it sooner. At any rate I have decided to stop eating meat. Ive gone 8 days now and I wonder how I ever ate it before. The thought of it repulses me. This all started when I was listening to a talk at work and was enlightened by a woman who argued that we are not Carnivores. She challenged the listeners to look at the human body verses the body of a true carnivore and go from there. Our intestines are long, our teeth are not pronounced we have no claws. I made this decision for multiple reasons only one being the obvious torture of factory farm animals. I would consider myself to be a hypersensitive and I feel the pain and joy of other sentient beings. I also dont feel like my life is worth more than any other creature here. We are all equal. With that said I cant unsee this.... I think that people should eat what they want I just encourage that they know the truth behind it so that an educated decision is made. Your body is your temple!
