*Can't believe I get to watch such high quality premium content for free.*

[MrBeast]

Amazing video! You always know how to cover all my questions and be very objective.

[Rangadus]

The Bob’s Burgers references throughout this video are brilliant lol

[britfranz]

I love how this video provides clear data and does not shame people for their eating habits. The main goal is raising awareness and it provides options if you are willing to make a change. very nice <3

[s.marveldaboss]

is meat good?
kurzgesagt: Yes'snt

[chiseledcanary]

"The way we treat animals will probably be something future generations will look down on in disgust."
This one sentence proves that Kurzgesagt is from the future.

[johnvexeus]

Thank you for bringing this up! ❤
The industry is torture!
No meat for 30years and I was a competitive bodybuilder for 10 years, on no meat.
Still lift at 43yo 🤙

Most individuals often fail to explain effectively when it comes to this topic, but after seeing this documentary, I believe you did not fail like others. excellent work
Kurzgesagt.

[confusion]

This the closest thing to getting me a vegetarian

[cdawg]

Cows: We get treated the worst.
Chicken: Hold my beak.

[smashdriven]

I’m no vegan but the way some animals are treated is really sad.

[matthewpantig]

i'm not sure what's wrong with me, but i laughed at this sentence: "Even if you had a personal score to settle with chickens, how we treat them is beyond broken."

[ayy_lmao]

Kurzesagt: *makes this video*
Fish: Am I a joke to you?

[funnyman]

Chickens probably think humans are like Nazi's

[rjkkyhv]

I decided to eat a vegetable meal if possible
I think it is nearly impossible to replace my fatty diet with completely vegetable meals instantly but from now on I will reconsider when I eat meaty food and try to change my habit as much as possible.

Back then when I was growing up overseas, we bought our meat at wet markets and we watched (most times) the slaughtering (usual quick slash to the neck or a quick pound to the head) by the seller. We don't buy one pack of breast or one pack or wings, we just buy one chicken or fish, or one/few parts of the pig (no multiple packed cuts). We eat all parts of the animals, from head to tail, from intestine to blood. I know the world is a different place now but it sends a shiver down my spine every time I see neatly packed meat parts (like the 24 packed wings) in the supermarket. I don't get the super moral bits of killing things as most animals are omnivores (we kept chicken and they would eat worms, insects, smaller animals and...their own kin if given the opportunity) but if I am going to consume another life to fuel my own life I'd rather consume its entirety if possible. Food waste is worse than eating meat on my moral scale.

looks like a lot of lives are at steak

''The way we treat animals will probably be something future generations will look down on in disgust''

This really opened my eyes..
