Eating Animals is an urgent, eye-opening look at the environmental, economic, and public health consequences of factory farming. Tracing the history of food production in the US, the film charts how farming has gone from local and sustainable to a corporate monster that offers cheap eggs, meat, and dairy while exploiting animals, using antibiotics and hormones, and polluting our air, soil, and water.
