Eating Animals

How much do you know about the food that’s on your plate? Based on the best-selling book by Jonathan Safran Foer and narrated by co-producer Natalie Portman, Eating Animals is an urgent, eye-opening look at the environmental, economic, and public health consequences of factory farming.
