I’m interrested in learning more about vegetarianism and the food processing in america and other places. I’ve watched Food Inc. It made me realize some of the unnatural things industry leaders commission the farmers to do to the animals that will serve as nurishment for america. I’m interested in something that will tell me more about that and maybe even some good organized sites that advocate vegetarianism. Just interested for now, trying to do some investigation, lol. Any information would help. Thanks.

Supersize Me.
Also Fast Food Nation (sorry, it’s not a movie, it’s a book, but it was very eye-opening for me!)

There’s a cool one from a few years back done by the UK Vegan society , hosted by dub poet Benjamin Zephaniah called TRUTH OR DAIRY you can probably download it!! It’s really cool on so many levels and BZ has a great sense of humour!
@C & Red Doll Shoes – Earthlings is certainly a wake up call – i couldn’t watch it myself but another one is Our Daily Bread -not veg focus but shows how shitey our food is produced.

Earthlings is extremely disturbing. I could only watch about 10 minutes before I started bawling and turned it off.
The Beautiful Truth documentary is also good. I really believe Food Inc is one of the best. I also enjoy Super Size Me.
I don’t know if you’re interested in books, but some good reads are The China Study and Thanking the Monkey.
Hope that helps!

Earthlings! It’s the ultimate wake-up call.

There is a BBC series called supermarket secrets (should be on google vid) which may have some insights for you. It actually covers all things, not just meat.
