This is the 4th documentary I have seen designed to manipulate people like myself into veganism. I have to say the more of these documentaries I see, the less credible veganism becomes. I agree that global warming exist and its bad but they do nothing but fear monger and attempt to manipulate viewers with lies. They did a damn good job attempting to tie global warming with slaughtering animals for human consumption. Seriously if we want to end global warming, the best way to do it is population reduction and the complete elimination of the use oil, gas and coal.

Kip's life was about saving the world. Kip found out that cows and and agriculture was making a lot of greenhouse effekt and that is bad for the world. Kip then go out to find some answers. He talks to a lot of people and some environment people and they wont give him the answers. So he go to some people there "risks" there life to talk about the problem. I think the movie is just for vegans and environment people because that everything they talk about is just views of the subject

I had an experience kind of similar to the filmmaker's: I had been told that at home, I have to be more environmentally minded - turn up the thermostat in the summer, down in the winter, take shorter showers, turn lights off whenever I can, etc. I discovered recently that animal agriculture was significantly destructive on the environment, and I wanted to find out more, so I watched this documentary. To be honest, I was a little disappointed in it.Maybe it wasn't meant specifically for me. Maybe it was meant for people who had never considered that animal agriculture was environmentally destructive. But, for someone who already agreed with the notion, it felt like much of the film was devoted to establishing the facts and knocking down people (such as organic farmers, no-meat Mondays) who were 'patting themselves on the back'. Only in the very last portion did the filmmaker indicate what can be done to fix the problem (i.e. vegan-ism). What I was hoping for was a more in-depth look at evaluation of each meat. Okay, obviously beef is the most destructive. If we cut beef would we be okay? How do pork and lamb and poultry compare? If natural fisheries are unsustainable, how about changing the water resources we use on livestock farming and do fish farming instead? Of course it would be ideal for the whole world to turn vegan overnight, but the simple fact is that solutions demand compromise.As it is, I appreciated the film. I thought it was well-made, and captured a very kairotic topic that not enough people are talking about. I think the filmmaker failed to establish proof of a 'cowspiracy,' considering the notion of livestock farming be environmentally dangerous is simply not obvious, so it hasn't been as explored. He failed to establish that this is something that is being hush-hushed or covered up. I think it's just not being talked about enough because it's not as obvious.I would recommend this film to most anyone, because it could give you valuable insight to an important topic that isn't discussed enough. However, I can't promise you that it's compelling enough to definitely change your life. Some people will watch this and maybe think twice before buying meat at the grocery store, but still buy it anyway.

I work as a researcher in the energy sector. CO2 emissions are literally a part of my job. Everybody agrees we are emitting too much emissions. The movie tells lie after lie about greenhouse gas emissions. Yes its true that methane is about 25 times more powerful as a greenhouse gas, but even taking that into account the Enteric Fermentation (Farts and burps) of cattle accounts for 3 percent of the total. While the energy sector emits 29% and the transport 27%. That is why no one is talking about it! because we have to first focus on bringing down the emissions of the sectors that emit a lot more CO2 equivalent gases. The part about destroying the forests and the environment for our animals could be true. But the part of the water is another time way over exaggerated. Yes a burger needs a lot of water to be produced, but most of that water falls right out of the sky as rain.After 20 minutes I just couldn't take the lies anymore they invent numbers like cattle accounts for 50% of all emissions...I believe in improving the environment and that we have to change a lot to combat with climate change. But what they are proposing is the same as his example of the shower. Not eating meat isn't going to help at all compared to improving the emissions of transport and improving the emissions of the energy sector, the sector that emits the most CO2. So lets invest in Carbon capture and storage for coal and CCGT plants, install more renewable generation, all buy electric cars, and that's the way to solve the problem. Not becoming vegetarian.I was so furious about the numbers they were claiming that I really had to write a review. (first review ever on IMDb by the way)
