I watched the documentary "Earthlings" a few days ago. I have been eating a vegan diet for 8 weeks not and last week I was STRUGGLING. I am not going to lie, I was hungover saturday morning, woke up and drank a half litre of milk. Wups. I don't even like milk that much. Darn alcohol.
ANYWAY that set off cravings.... I was daydreaming of a quarter pounder with cheese. Isn't that shameful [I didn't actually cave in!]. I had temporarily lost my "new way of thinking" as I describe it. Awareness of the cruelty, that was making it so easy for me to stick to a vegan diet. I needed re-motivation.
So I watched Earthlings - a documentary I had seen reccommended by some vegans. And oh my, I got my motivation back. It was shocking, distressing, gruesome, horrific, heartbreaking...... I cried... sobbed [I'm not a crier....It's been a while!].
If anyone is losing motivation, you need to watch this. In fact I think every human being should have to watch this, and THEN they can decide whether to keep using animal products or not.
However, I told 2 veggie friends and neither had watched it because they were too afraid to..... I get that it's really extreme and harsh but it's reality, innit?
Has anyone seen it? What do you make of it? Would you reccommend it to others?
