EATING ANIMALS

Greenpeace in collaboration with 1000fryd present the documentary: 'Eating Animals'

Even though the documentary focuses on factory farming in the US, there are still similarities to the Danish meat industry in terms of the exploitation of animals; the risky use of antibiotics and hormones; and the pollution of our air, soil, and water. After the movie members of Greenpeace Aalborg will talk a little bit about the meat industry in Denmark, Greenpeace's campaign for less meat and more green and what you can do to lower the production and consumption of meat where you live.

A bit about the film:

How much do you know about the food that’s on your plate? Based on the bestselling book by Jonathan Safran Foer, 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 United States, the film charts how farming has gone from local and sustainable to a corporate Frankenstein monster that offers cheap eggs, meat, and dairy at a steep cost: the exploitation of animals; the risky use of antibiotics and hormones; and the pollution of our air, soil, and water. Spotlighting farmers who have pushed backed against industrial agriculture with more humane practices, Eating Animals offers attainable, common sense solutions to a growing crisis while making the case that ethical farming is not only an animal rights issue but one that affects every aspect of our lives.
