Thanks for the links. I had no idea about the BBC film Carnage with Simon Amstell so will try and have a look after 19 March when it becomes available on i player.

Just saw Carnage (quite a bit of animal cruelty for obvious reasons) and it's quite thought provoking:

Brilliant mockumentary, we shouldn't be called vegans when the carnists are killing our planet. Some scenes reminded me this research paper:

Normalised, human-centric discourses of meat and animals in climate change, sustainability and food security literature

It's so much fun when they're mocking celebrity chefs like Lawson, Oliver, and Ramsay etc.

Carnage is great. I've just watched it. A lot of prominent British actors are in it.

Yeah, it's highly recommended for everyone to check it out. I genuinely couldn't stop laughing when I saw Kind Friendly Cooking since we're living in such a crazy world in real life:

And then it's so disturbing to watch "that scene" when I realized that's already done by the Chinese:

China: Wealthy 'drink human breast milk' - BBC News

It just warmed my heart when they're finally giving a voice to the voiceless, that's just legitimately the best thing in the world.
