get ready to become a vegetarian

Now xannie... I am sure that those whom have read the book, know what it is about.
Dont burst others bubble please..
It really is a good read...............

I love the fact they made it a movie! Blows me away of some of the major actors in Hollywood that took part.. Book was wicked, but it still blows my mind they made a flick out of it...

Hey, 2 of my favs are here. Happy 4th yall!

I have thought often about becoming a vegetarin, but my love for raw beef always stops me!!!

I don't get to the movies much, just waite till they come on cable. This may be an exception???
Joe

Happy 4th to you too!

Hear ya Joe... I wont spend the bucks in the theater, but will purchase the video when it comes available to the public!

I didn't read the book or see the movie, but I have had my fill of exposes that will leave me never wanting to eat __________ again.

I would have very little to eat, and would most certainly never eat in a restaurant, if I took all these to heart. This one may have been deeper than others, and been about more than the evils of food preparation, but I say no thanks. I'd rather enjoy my meal, flaws and all, in ignorance! I figure it will give me a stronger immune system!

PapaJoe,

happy 4th of july! i thought of you yesterday when 6 f16 fighters buzzed my house.air force thunderbirds no less. what a terrific country we live in.

no execption, PapaJoe..save your money for poker give a happy fourth to your sweetie and the grandzillas from me.

THE JUNGLE, by Upton Sinclair, never put me off eating meat, neither did working for Sugardale meats, nor does slaughtering and buthering cattle, lamb, pig, deer etc.

Fast Food Nation didn't put me off either.

Movies about plane crashes haven't stopped me from flying, and so on
and so forth.

Come on xannie..... Live a little!

I see there is no release date yet for this.."Fall release"..
Apparently it didnt get such a good reception at the Cannes Film Festival....
Below is taken off the "net"....
The movie uses a fictionalized approach instead of being a documentary, telling the story from the point of view of people involved in the industry. The ensemble cast includes Greg Kinnear, Catalina Sandino Moreno, Ethan Hawke, Luis Guzman, Patricia Arquette, Kris Kristofferson, Lou Taylor Pucci, Ana Claudia Talancon, Esai Morales, Wilmer Valderrama, Bruce Willis, and Avril Lavigne.
