Earthlings, the movie....

[Kathy]

... If anyone needs a reason to recomit to RAW FOOD, or some encouragement, or if you are struggling that is a good video to check out.

 

It is available free online. I cried when I watched it.  I have to warn you that it is VERY GRAPHIC and very hard to watch (although I did cheer on the elephant that trampled the trainer - that's not nice of me!).

 

I have added it to my favorites on my computer, and I will be removing all animal products from my home. I have been okay with raw, but I am cooking for a house of teenagers, animals of any kind will no longer be on my grocery list.

 

I do realize that this is a lifestyle choice for me, and I cannot force my eating habits on them, so I will probably think about increasing their allowance so they can buy a (*healthy*) lunch in the school cafeteria if they wish, and I know their father (not living with me) and grandparents will continue to feed them meat, but after watching that video, I cannot condone it in my house anymore....

 

Maybe I am being a bit extreme, but watch the video and you will find it hard not to agree.... wish me luck, I think I'm in for a bit of a battle on the home front :)

Good luck to you! I have not seen that one yet. Chris has said he will watch it with me, but I think the last movie we watched was food inc. and I think that was like... a month or longer. ANYHOW, one day we will see it, I hope it has the same effect on my household. Currently, Chris eats some chicken, but since he pays the bills, I cant really tell him he cant eat it. I DO NOT cook it for him! Anyhow, I hope it works!!
