The film I decided to watch is "Vegucated"; produced by Mary Max, Frank Matsaka, and Demetrius Bagely. "Vegucated" is an insightful documentary about Veganism, focusing particularly on the unethical treatment of animals in the farming industry. In the film, three New Yorkers of different demographics, searching for a healthier lifestyle, accept a challenge to live a vegan lifestyle for six weeks. It is explained that being vegan is having a plant-based diet, and not wearing clothing made from animal products or byproducts. They start things off by tasting plant-based foods, and meeting with a doctor to discuss the healthy way to go vegan. During the experiment they get educated in the ways that the majority of farms mistreat animals- namely chickens, cattle, and pigs. The three subjects are shown videos exposing factory farms and slaughterhouses of their inhumane treatment of animals.

I was shocked and upset every time I saw an animal being dragged around by one leg, or by the neck. I wasn 't expecting to see fear, or to hear the pain that these animals were experiencing as they went through routine procedures. I was also surprised to know that so many people working in the industry are fine with the treatment of these animals. I was surprised to see that it seemed like such an easy transition for these three people. I had no idea that becoming vegan was such an achievable goal. I found it interesting that their taste buds adjusted from disliking vegetables to enjoying them. I 'm looking forward to trying to adapt my own taste buds to enjoy healthier food choices.
I also learned that it 's projected by 2050, that there won 't be enough animal meat to sustain the population (at the time). I think this is really crazy. The idea that the demand for meat will be high enough that we can’t produce enough to meet the demand is hard to
