H.O.P.E. What You Eat Matters (2018) - Full Documentary (Subs: FR/PT/ES/ZH/NL)

I think the most important message that I have is to remember that you and I'm speaking to you watching this film you make a difference you as an individual make a difference what you do each day actually is affecting what's going on in the world each day so your life matters you matter and use your life work wisely [Music] [Music] the Western diet unfortunately is associated with the development of some pretty serious diseases heart disease cancer diabetes obesity it's like a tsunami cardiovascular diseases are the number one cause of death around the globe more than 17 million people die of a heart attack or stroke per year the number of cancer cases is rising dramatically one out of every four men and one out of every five women die of cancer diabetes has also become an epidemic and already one out of two Europeans and Americans is overweight the interesting thing is though all experts would agree that the cause of this tsunami really is is our lifestyle and the fascinating thing is that the major driving force within that lifestyle creating these illnesses is our dependence on animal nutrition and I think this idea needs to be conveyed to people that there is a strong association between the Western diet high in animal foods processed phones protein fat and so forth and diseases people have to know that that really is true never before have we been so well informed about nutrition in theory in practice in everyday life we sir come to mindless cravings we devour instant meals gobble cafeteria fare and stuff our faces to fast-food and practically always contained in these products needs for your flashes right here like this my biggest pet artist and a medieval contacts platen on yes camasta sliced and all LED curly get of the first insulin financier commons license so they lit chemicals in it last [Music] despite all warnings we are eating more and more meat there is no day without meat no feast without meat no break without meat it's a normal part of our diets because it's tradition it's cheap and because it tastes good my diet for 65 years was the sad diet the standard American diet I ate meat and chicken and fish and fowl and lots of butter and anything that tasted good in 2010 at the age of 66 Sharon Kings started to think about her eating habits as the result of a dramatic event at that time I already had been diagnosed with high blood pressures so I was aware of that but having a heart attack was a complete surprise to me [Music] the only symptoms that I had leading up to that was heaviness in my arms pain in my jaw and I would be tired more tired than usual this health nightmare puts Sharon Kent's in the intensive care unit [Music] during the heart catheterization it was determined that I had 100% blockage in one artery and 65% in one and 75% in the other so there actually was very little options open for me other than open-heart surgery cat will be Esselstyn is an expert in the field of heart disease a well renowned surgeon and researcher and one of the best doctors in the United States today the 82 year old directs the cardiovascular prevention and reversal program at the Cleveland Clinic Wellness Institute in Ohio back in the 1980s dr. Esselstyn had already begun questioning the methods for treating heart disease they only combatted the symptoms but didn't get rid of the cause intensive research led him to the conclusion our cardiovascular diseases are caused by our eating habits when we look at this cause of heart disease let's not be confused to blame it on genes or just blame it on somebody's age or blame it on the luck of the draw heart disease is a foodborne illness and we now know that every time certain foods will pass your lips you will further endanger and injure the endothelial cell capacity to make nitric oxide and öthey lleol cells are crucial to our blood vessels and hearts they line our blood vessels and produce protective nitric oxide and nitric oxide has these marvelous functions of keeping your blood flowing smoothly it's the strongest vasodilator in the body it also protects you from getting hypertension because it keeps your artery wall from getting stiff inflamed or thickened and most importantly a plentiful normal amount of nitric oxide will prevent you from ever developing blockages or plaque scientists know the cardiovascular disease starts with progressive damage to the endothelial cells this is precisely where our diets come in the excessive consumption of animal based or processed foods damages our endothelial cells regular consumption of these products increasingly diminishes the protective nitric oxide supply in our blood vessels this leads to inflammation and a hardening and narrowing of the blood vessels these can have life-threatening consequences like heart attack or stroke or cause arteriosclerosis years of research and personal experience have provided dr. Esselstyn with conclusive evidence that a plant-based diet can not only prevent the progression of heart disease but can also reverse its effects [Music] Esselstyn has successfully treated hundreds of patients with this program it consists of a low fat purely plant-based diet when you're willing to take the time and have the patients understand the science behind this and they really realize that they have caused this disease by the foods that they beat they suddenly realize that you are empowering them as this locus of control to halt their disease they don't have to depend upon a cardiologist or an operation or a drug that may have significant side effects they are being empowered to do this themselves [Music] with dr. esselstyn's help Sharon Kent's two completely restructured her diet doing away with all animal products she turned down the heart surgery recommended to her by her doctors Sharon Kent's decided to use food as medicine I [Music] was on it for four weeks and the pain went away in my arms their pain went away in my jaws and I had much more energy so I took dr. esselstyn's program very seriously [Music] when Sharon Kent's was first diagnosed she could hardly walk anymore and nearly two years after her treatment with dr. Esselstyn she is physically fit again and she has fulfilled one of her dreams in 2012 at the age of 68 she successfully took part in a half marathon for the first time in her life I know people are cramped for time but you're talking about your health if you want to live a long healthy life and be able to contribute something then you have to take care of your body in order to do that you you have to in my opinion eat plant-based [Music] we also consume too much milk and the availability of dairy products continues to grub but do these products actually agree with us after all nearly 75% of the world's population and 20% of Europeans are lactose intolerance in other words unable to properly digest dairy products dairy products contain no complex carbohydrates or roughage and very few vitamins instead they're full of saturated fat cholesterol and animal protein when we are young and growing up everybody wants to try to see people dairy products and make sure you have milk every day but the science really now is at a point where that cannot be sustained there is ample evidence from wonderful investigators like T Colin Campbell who clearly showed that casein which is the major protein in milk is really one of the strongest promoters of cancer T Colin Campbell is a world-renowned nutritional scientist in a series of experiments he was able to prove that animal proteins casein in particular promote all stages of cancer growth [Music] in experiments rats were given carcinogenic substances afterwards half were fed a 5% casein in rich diet and the other half 20% 20% roughly corresponds to the amount consumed in Western diets with a 5% casein and rich diet the animals did not develop cancer with the 20% casein in rich diet however cancer growth was stimulated significantly professor Campbell went a step further every three weeks he altered the rats diet so the next thing we did we did some studies to start out with animals here and then just let the cancer start to grow with 20% casing and then we switched it to 5% it went off we gave the 20% back again came back again we put it on five percent it came off so we could turn on and turn it off cancer development just by switching the amount of Casey and being consumed these findings are also supported by evidence with humans we also know that there's all the saturated fat and the casing and dairy helps to accelerate and promote heart disease and then we have this whole problem of fractures in the elderly so here we have this problem of increasing cancer increasing heart disease and increasing fracture not a good thing Dairy really should be should be out svw Badescu tiered thus via animation Nika Newton calcium of named calcium is really funny kanakam debilitate is all osteoporosis wobbling about Onizuka information Utley we were happy animation can emit productivity and sighing thus thought the austere parole - at their figuring SS parents and dairy also has and there's good evidence for this that has some outlaw Jenny properties it tends to be associated with allergies either directly associated or enhance the knee allergies coming from another source and so we see things like in the case of teenage boys we get this acne they get this acne sometimes the skin problem a lot of that is due to their consumption of dairy stop there goes away dairies of social with migraine headaches I know a lot of people you know have these migraine headaches it's kind of analogy trying to say as it's acting as kind of an allergy kind of thing you stop that it goes away and it's very fast tonight used to say that was great reluctance because I was raised on a dairy farm I grew up milking cows and then when I went away to do my doctoral dissertation I actually did my dissertation on the idea of promoting more milk consumption so I'm not I'm not saying he said rather negative things about dairy for any ideological reasons or any personal races I'm saying in reference to the evidence the data that's what it shows the excessive consumption of animal products such as meat fish dairy products and eggs puts a strain on our bodies that was also what Frankfurt based physician lotte event found in his research my father wrote event had a smart sponsor at Morrissey does concept is organized by a Cronkite informally it does harm beer in an yarns beta fighter and because the current is allowed it does this to feel until you my advice in Daniel Hardman [Music] T Colin Campbell arrived the same conclusion he has been at the cutting edge of nutritional research for more than 40 years and in the 80s and 90s he directed the Chyna Cornell Oxford project better known as the China Study this is the most comprehensive nutrition study in the history of biomedical research to date the confirmed Campbell's theory we tend to want to consume protein which means we want to consume meat because that supposedly is strong it makes us healthy that's been an old story for a long time but in reality as we put more and more protein or meat into our diet we see these diseases start to appear the China Study as well as numerous other studies demonstrate one thing above all the higher the consumption of animal products the greater the frequency of heart disease cancer diabetes and countless other chronic diseases even small amounts of animal products can have a negative effect on our health [Music] the 53 year old electrical engineer Arthur ceteris also became a victim of his diet excessive amounts of meat fish and dairy products the consequences caught up with him my first health issues started about 20-some years ago about 20 years ago when I was about 30 32 years of age I was diagnosed with type 2 diabetes about ten years later propagated into heart disease my first encounter with heart disease was at age 42 what what I exhibited was just heartburn turned out to be a blockage I went to an emergency room and found out it was a blockage and then it required an intervention and stent that was my first encounter a stent is an implant designed to hold a vessel open Arthur ceteris needed to have five such stents implanted he repeatedly suffered from chest pain and a narrowing of his blood vessels finally he needed to double coronary bypass surgery so I was assured that about after doing the bypass surgery that I would be free and clear of any heart issues for at least up to er upwards to about ten years that happened not to be the case with me about a year into that I developed in giant again and what turned out not then to be the vein graft that they used in my bypass surgery had now blocked which then required another stent and then a few months later another stent so the frequency of those stents then became just two weeks apart the quickly returning vessel occlusions baffled the doctors so teres left the hospital without hope I weapon I cried like a baby because I wasn't ready to die and I cried out to God for some options I think God save my life I think it was God's mercy and grace that actually gave me options and set men set my path straight and pointed me in the direction of plant-based [Music] through a member of his church community Arthur Sottero slurred about dr. Esselstyn and his nutrition based therapy he consulted the doctor and with his help he restructured his entire diet [Music] within 30 about 30 to 40 days from that point that in China that was experienced again and the facial numbness that I experienced during my heart disease it was gone and it was then by following this diet of going plant-based within about Florida I think it was five months from that point on when I was doing a follow up with my cardiologist and family physician who has been monitoring my diabetes said that my diabetes was gone and then I followed up at same time in October of 2010 with my optometrist the prescription glasses that I was was wearing they looked at them so why was I wearing these six that all I only needed was just reading glasses so then with the reversal of my diabetes my eyesight got better [Music] Arthur Sottero start condition has disappeared his blood test results are normal and he's been able to markedly reduce his medication he also lost 20 kilograms of excess body weight I feel better now at age 53 and I did at age 30 [Music] through the years I've had lots of students a lot of colleagues plenty of money to do all kinds of research and I found out that what I believed early was wrong that a diet that's high in animal-based foods is a problem a diet is high in processed foods is a problem many different ways the only solution is a whole food plant-based diet is that clear and when people use that they not only prevent future disease they actually are able to cure existing disease in people who have a disease

and finances inquisitive and asteroids of blood keine the Medici industry diffident Don does it annoy therapy uncommon newer uncommon and the medicine industry Gertrud II of the pharma industry for the moment we have a big big industry that's obviously supports the livestock industry and the egg industry in the dairy industry it's just a huge huge industry and unfortunately they have infiltrated the academic community they've also infiltrated the government and I know both because I'm in academia that's been my entire life I see what they do maybe they bring some money to have some research done also in the policy area I spent about 20 years in national policy development you know I was on export panels for the government and so we were doing things and we have committees and unfortunately the industry is so powerful that they in many cases are controlling who's going to be on the committee's they have too much money for the politicians does this policy God about Fiat equal in football was his knee I was actually raised eating a typical diet and when I was about 22 years old I became a vegetarian and about five years later when I was 27 I went to a completely plant-based diet and that's been 33 years now I'm 60 years old and it's been terrific I feel great I have a lot of energy and it's not just me people that I know who are also a longtime on a plant they started doing great as well [Music] the seismic revolution in health is just not ever going to occur from of inventing another pill or a drug it's not going to come from inventing another procedure or an operation but the seismic revolution in health can come about when those of us in the healing profession are able to share with the public what is the lifestyle that would protect them from these chronic common and killing diseases and the way we do that really would be the top of the list is to show them about plant-based nutrition [Music] [Music] mmm mention pleasantly mummy a teal about him of mere mention say fly slice thinkin well it's one second and there's no field mention on Sophie the teal off the planet in the air design doesn't even make a no-footer guys that fasten video at the car the world wide human population will rise to 9 billion by the year 2050 the global livestock population will double to fifty billion it's going to get crowded escaped event accomplished this is others beliefs that the same entities are hiding from the land itself once of the Leoben scored loud and sister the Borden's after the planet in a splint on the essent guns are in fact we finish the growing consumption of meat accelerates climate change and species extinction it damages the soil water and air and it Spurs global starvation appetising vacuum-packed portions of meat suggests none of this most of the grain that's being grown on the planet is not going for food for human beings [Music] we're growing plenty of food to feed everyone the problem is we're feeding most of that grain and the legumes like soybeans to animals while people are starving worldwide 1.8 billion people are starving every six seconds a child dies of malnutrition that's nearly 15,000 children a day a sign of poverty not for the poor but for the rich only 2% of the soya in the United States is being eaten by human beings about 70% goes for animal feed 28% is going for biofuel these will make them so happy so it's meeting the hunger of profits not the hunger of people [Music] corne about 10% of the corn in the world is being eaten by humans most of it is going to torture animals I don't say feed animals because animals did not want to be fed with green doesn't suit their digestive system so we are talking about a system that is creating hunger on the planet in the name of feeding people currently one out of every three seeds of grain harvested in the world is used as animal feed however industrial nations can no longer produce these huge amounts of fodder themselves thus Europe already imports three-quarters of its animal feed including 35 million tons of soybeans alone mainly from South America the land used for growing this feed does not consist of empty fields but valuable rainforests forced to yield to the monocultures of the agricultural corporations [Music] one of the really shocking things about this desired more and more people to eat more and more meat and to eat it more and more cheaply is the awful effect that it's having on the environment so whole forests cleared to graze livestock or to grow grain to feed livestock and it's having a shocking effect on the environment because of this practice over the past two decades roughly twenty percent of the worldwide largest rainforests in the Amazon basin have been destroyed forever globally deforestation irreversibly destroys an area the size of a soccer field every two seconds and this although tropical rainforests are among the Earth's most valuable treasures nowhere else is there such a rich diversity of species moreover these forests stabilized the world's climate as enormous reservoirs of carbon dioxide that makes them more valuable than meat [Music] [Applause] [Music]

industries the production of methane gas it is primarily generated in the stomach's of ruminants like cattle experts estimate that methane is 25 times more detrimental to the climate than co2 [Music] an even greater concern than methane is nitrous oxide which is nearly 300 times more harmful to the climate than co2 it is released through the use of synthetic fertilizers these and many other factors make animal agriculture a catalyst for climate change there are increased reports of a new drought of the century or a new flood of the century a new storm of the century or the progressive melting of the glaciers and the poles intensive animal farming doesn't just stink to high heaven the excrement produced is also polluting our soil for each kilogram of meat produced roughly 6 kilograms of slurry are generated among other things slurry releases ammonia which poisons the surrounding air and causes long-term damage to the soil not only that slurry and it's nitrates also threaten our drinking water of which we need in ordinate amounts to make animal products for one kilogram of eggs 3,300 liters are needed for one kilogram of chicken meat 3900 liters for one kilogram of pork 4,800 liters for one kilogram of cheese a whopping 5000 liters and an all-time high of fifteen thousand five hundred liters are needed to produce one kilogram of beef plant production has a much better track record cultivating one kilogram of grain requires one thousand three hundred liters of water a farmer needs just 900 liters for a kilogram of potatoes and a kilogram of apples barely requires 700 liters of precious water [Music] this entire meat industry has today become a scandal on the planet it should not exist in the form in which it exists to force everyone into destroying the Earth's resources is a crime against the earth and it's a crime against our bodies because our bodies when designed for this kind of diet [Music] altogether this is a recipe for biological disaster by diversity disaster what a disaster climate disaster health disaster these are from the Lantis of divisions anger is Khatami I didn't as in the next functional decent is a form least hard part does knish good game he didn't comfort from nothing lazy or not so well devised us went emotional take one done oh man we were made to believe that meat based diets are superior to plant-based diets a lie that has been exposed by medical experts again and again and again so what do we need to do we need to bring diversity back into our farms we need to bring harmony back into our farms if to celebrate diversity we have to work with farmers with to know what farmers [Music] is to start realizing food is what keeps the world going food is the energy of the world and we have to know exactly where in that chain we entered so that we don't do more harm we reduce the harm and in the process we celebrate food is life and life is food [Music] through its way of life the Langer Horst family in Upper Austria exemplifies the practice of farming without monocultures and intensive animal husbandry it's been running a vegan organic farm with mixed cultivation and permaculture for more than forty years the family grows vegetables fruit berries and nuts and avoids animal-based and chemical fertilizers using green manure plant-based compost rock flour mulch and wood ash [Music] the

take action if we look at the chances according to human possibilities human intelligence human longing for good decent food I think the chances are extremely high that we could all live on a good healthy organic plant-based diet [Music] [Music] we love the notion of romantic rural life happy animals in a healthy environment well provided for by Mother Nature it's really quite tempting to get this meat on your plate but let's face reality annotate holders of authentically cooked items thousand for the holiday the hosta say is a patuxent ear is Nemoto is he such a document weekly new memory meat is less expensive today than ever before a cheap product about 98 percent comes from factory farms where conditions are beyond imagination rarely in the past has the term industry smacked of a contempt for life as it does today in the intensity our client of the hot dog vendor T of anemias individual design zone an explosive product zones meter flags and replaced those out as that style other ladies may ask about our take on meeting seer who smoothly him economic player traffic events chickens are by nature social curious and intelligent animals but in the merciless factory farm their lives are reduced to short and joyless agony chicks hatch not in the maternal nest but in the incubator as soon as they can stand they're sorted vaccinated packed up and sent to enormous feed Lots [Music] in these animal prisons they reach slaughtering weight in record time never seeing daylight and under extremely crowded conditions [Music] the normal life expectancy of a chicken is 20 years broilers only live up to 42 days during this brief lifespan they must gain roughly 2 kilograms no organism can withstand such brutally rapid growth PTA names or schnell and give a su thus also the and Vikram desk collects kandjmidd Konkan on living than others of all the mass to know the optimist to an end or must says no no L swear I didn't post while the Greek masters to name the Greek with Erica [Music] some animals don't survive this abnormal growth they can't drag themselves to the feed and water troughs others die of breeding induced cardiovascular diseases they succumb to stress or fall victim to cannibalism [Music] all these are facts we are often not aware of when eating meat and which the meat lobby is glad to keep concealed [Music] this is a mother sow this highly intelligent and extremely sensitive animal spends most of it's life in crates in cages hardly any larger than themselves instead of straw they lie on bare concrete seasoned dbms idiotic Angus LinkedIn's oven and chafing does he Noah 20 presented the middle fold glossy 50 centimeter to work super villain cyst finding and Amundsen Susan strengthen the za one in the modern shrine album City

confined they are neither able to protect nor care for their young [Music] not long after birth the piglets tails are doctors a precaution against cannibalism in addition male piglets are castrated by ripping out their testicles everything without pain relief because an object's pain doesn't matter [Music] [Music] many animals are born weak antique apt or sick it is not economical to keep them alive their fate and undignified and cold death [Music] in the agonizing lack of space the immobilized mother cells sometimes crush their own offspring [Music] at the age of three weeks the piglets are separated from their mother what follows now rearing and fattening although pigs can live up to 25 years they are slaughtered as children a mere six months old they spend their brief lives in cramped quarters EU norms require a minimum area of just 0.75 square meters for a porker of up to 110 kilograms [Music] as many as 10% of the animals do not survive these conditions in spite of this only a few people are willing to do without a porkchop or a schnitzel and cattle fair know better many animals spend their lives in narrow stalls the lucky ones in open pens many however vegetate in tether stalls one step forward one step backward that is all the freedom of movement they have a life expectancy of 30 years that something industrial age cattle can only dream of [Music] [Music] oh it's Otago it's a reason reason hadn't antivenom aggressor and mech convention even a new Congress has met on my sister make butter that an investor dusty make a license or gate or the under the machine in act under sneakers photon the offcut resin varnish and the vet evolved you know Vegas there doesn't hear what our military can send infections are one of the biggest problems in factory farms the crowded conditions promote the rapid spread of bacteria [Music] overbreeding a lack of Hygiene and ignoring natural needs put a huge burden on the health of the animals the only antidote the industrial meat producer knows is the massive administering of drugs up to three-quarters of all antibiotics end up in factory farms the Zeus team Yeti item is all cranked as st the antibiotic infusion venuti through demand is antibiotic availability at at a key must have can consume the cyclist Francis's team is in the high gleefully conquer the routine and improper use of antibiotics in factory farms presents a big health risk not just for the animals because more and more bacterial strains are becoming resistant which renders antibiotics in effective if these antibody resistant bacteria infect humans we get sick too but often medication no longer works globally more than 700 thousand people die from infections because the bacteria they have consumed has become resistant to antibiotics [Music] but the animals are not only affected physically industrial farming harms them on all levels scientists in dementia are this kind dear I think it's March and click below a given being on the other side the skilled the whole 3d 2880 offered intensity [Applause] [Music] having once seen um pigs in one of these intensive farms I was so shocked it's it's unbelievable to me that people could treat animals as though they're just things without feelings and so many people say to me over there they're being bred to eat so it's okay but it's it's not okay [Music] there's a lot of animal abuse in research in education in circuses and rodeos and zoos / factory farming is the worst if you summed up all the pain that we caused animals the pain and suffering from industrial food preparation is far greater than all of the pain in any other venue combined so it's really the worst it's it brings out the worst in human beings and it makes animals suffer greatly they not only suffer their own pain but they also feel the pain of other animals at these horrible factory farms [Music] not only our meat consumption promotes the suffering of animals but also our growing demand for milk cows are forced to achieve higher and higher outputs in the 60s a cow produced an annual average of 1500 liters of milk today that amount has risen to ten thousand and more I have quite a few vegetarian friends who consume dairy products and they believe this false idea that their that dairy products are a benign animal product that there's no harm connected to milk because they figure well once a cow starts giving milk she just gives milk and they don't realize that cows can't give adequate amount of milk for production unless they're pregnant and cows had that same gestation period as humans nine months they're pregnant hymens give birth within 24 hours maximum 72 hours to take the calf away from your car because you need the milk for production [Music] you know it's a terrible business I mean there's more suffering in a glass of milk and you can find just about anything [Music] the Cavs will you know ball and ball ball the the cows will just they'll look for them cows will often mourn their children for days or weeks they do miss their their calves calves miss their mothers [Music] it's really it's a heartbreaking thing to watch [Music] in factory farms calves are being born constantly but they serve no useful purpose and our soon put two different use that say a cow is alive for four years she'll have four calves just genetic roulette two are gonna be male two were going to be female the two males have no use to the dairy industry they're gonna go to auction within a day to two or three days after birth you only need one female to replace the model so three out of four calves go to slaughter [Music] we know in our bones that harming mothers who are just giving birth to babies and nursing those babies and nurturing those babies is something that is against our own compassion and kindness and so when we're eating animal foods eating dairy products that's exactly what we're doing we're paying people to impregnate animals steal their babies steal their milk and then kill them [Music] [Music] I always say to people especially women imagine that imagine that you was pregnant you got your breasts ready to give milk and somebody took your baby away and then you know another animal came and took your milk it's almost for human being it's almost impossible to imagine but that's what many animals go through and some people think oh goats milk is better than cow's milk well the goat is also a living thing the goats also produce milk not for human consumption but for the consumption of a little baby goat and that's who the milk should go to [Music] people wonder whether animals including farm animals have emotional lives and the science tells us that they do if people read and understand what Charles Darwin had to say about evolution he said that the differences among species are shades of grey not black and white so if we have something then they have it too they being other animals so the science tells us that many animals including farm animals have very rich and deep emotional lives [Music] the main thing is that you know these farm animals when you know them as individuals they're just wonderful I mean there's nothing like hearing the Wicker of a horse when you come and he's pleased to see you and the cows chewing the cud and the the sweet breath that they have out in the fields and pigs well pigs are as intelligent as dogs and more intelligent than most and when I was a little girl I used to want to have a little troupe of pigs and train them and go to a circus well now I know circus is a bad but when I was a little girl you know pigs are amazing just incredible [Music] people want to think that cows are stupid that they're dumb then there's slow and all they do is eat grass no they have community they have social structures they babysit for each other they they mourn for the lost of loved ones you know there are their community just like any human community they just look different you know that's all it's the only difference we just look different they don't speak their language it's more different we know for example that chickens display empathy they feel the pain of other chickens we know that cows and pigs are very smart they miss one another they love to be around friends cows and pigs are extremely intelligent they can learn very complex tasks so I like to say that the animals who we eat are very smart and they're very emotional it they're not what we so if there's an animal on the plate or at the end of a fork it's who's for dinner not what's for dinner because when we use the word who were referring to an animal who has a very strong inner life and subjective life [Music] [Music] [Music] [Music] [Music] so for example when pigs and cows and dogs and cats

after [Music] [Music] humans are creatures with many contradictions what is especially paradoxical is our relationship to animals we can adore a pet and at the same time we let other animals be killed without the slightest compassion dr. Melanie joy calls this phenomena carnism carnism teaches us to place animals in categories in our minds some animals we love dogs and cats are our companions our family members our friends for instance other animals we eat carnism teaches us to see animals as object so we learn to refer to the turkey on our plate as something rather than someone and carnism teaches us to see animals as abstractions as lacking in any individuality or personality of their own and instead simply as abstract members of a group about which we've made generalised assumptions a pig is a pig and all pigs are the same [Music] carnism says dr. joy is a belief system intended to prevent us from recognizing the violence and cruelty of the system behind eating animals we suppress and deny we ignore our head and our heart when it comes to animals that we classify as edible chews in one animal to eat and one animal to be a pet is just some people call these speciesism it's just an the kind of racism it's the kind of favoritism and it's a kind of just following a particular culture now what we have to do is we have to build a culture and tradition is based upon compassion [Music] the highest form of living the highest value is compassion and when there is compassion we make maximize well-being after all what the word wealth comes from well-being it did not mean money in the hands of you it meant well being shared across life spectrum [Music] [Music] I think once we admit that we humans are not the only beings with personalities minds and feelings once we realize that we are part of the animal kingdom then it becomes quite as important how we treat animals all animals as how we treat each other and so only when we show respect and consideration and concern for other living beings can we imagine a world that's more peaceful than the one today [Music] we are at a threshold where across the world people are seeking the liberation of life from this stranglehold of objectification the view that the earth has dead batter and her beings are just objects we have to rise in subject hood of an interconnected subject hood where no life is less important than any other life and human beings are definitely not the Emperor's over the rest of life are just one strand in that web of life [Music] [Music] I think the reason that so many people don't change their behavior is because they feel what's the use I'm just one person and so what I do actually can't make any difference and nor would it make any difference if it was just one [Music] but more and more and more people are coming to understand what the problems are and what they ought to be doing [Music] never ever think that one person can make a difference we tend to focus our energies on looking for leaders say like Martin Luther King or Mahatma Gandhi but they were just one person they didn't set out in life to be a leader and they were very humble people it's just that circumstances in history drew them to the front but if we're looking for leaders all we have to do is go home and look in the mirror because each one of us can make a difference and we do it's just making a conscious decision that we are going to make a difference in our lives we're not on this planet for a long time so we need to do what we can in a time we've got to make a difference [Music] Jimmy Valmer visa patrolman does via artifacts honor alla' formulators int the default function condensation mechanism a filter and for design so non via well as for bed genome science from kingdom science from Havana phone : orange parts floating on a cloud easy Tata that's real as forbidden on very low tone starts motive earrin - bian Zao for baby fire [Music] every one of us can make a difference every one of us eats at least two to three times a day and every act of conscious eating of knowing what the consequences of your eating are knowing what you're eating is an act of changing the world [Music] I think the most important message that I have is to remember that you and I'm speaking to you watching this film you make a difference you as an individual make a difference what you do each day actually is affecting what's going on in the world each day so your life matters you matter and use your life work wisely [Music] you [Music] you [Music] [Music]
