Farmerica INTRO

This short film explores an uncomfortable truth for vegans everywhere, one that should unsettle even meat eaters: We are led to believe that our choices in the supermarket directly affect how many animals go to slaughter... but we are wrong.

In August 2020, NowThis—the largest social video news publisher in the world—premiered Beyond Carnism's three-minute video entitled “Golden Retriever Burgers Trending?! #CatchOnToCarnism.” Carnism is the invisible belief system that conditions people to eat certain animals. The sticky, thought-provoking video quickly went viral, also clocking up views on AOL, other news sites, and social media posts by organizations and influencers. In just two weeks, the video was shared thousands of times across all platforms and garnered nearly 1 million total views. Using eye-catching animations and powerful, compelling dialogue, the video exposes the psychology that drives people to eat animals by illustrating how carnism distorts our perceptions of farmed animals and the foods procured from their bodies. Drawing parallels with the movie "The Matrix," it reveals that people view eating animals as normal, natural, and necessary as long as they are plugged into the “matrix of carnism.” Through the video, we invited viewers to be vegan allies—including by being as vegan as possible—in order to become a part of the solution to help transform carnism.

There’s a little-known battle taking place in grocery stores everywhere -- it’s a battle over the labels stuck to your food. With a surge of vegan products hitting the market, names like “almond milk” are frequently used to describe these products’ similarity to their non-vegan counterparts. But Miyoko Schinner was fined and asked to remove the word “butter” from her plant-based butter product by the California Department of Food & Agriculture. Why? Is this type of labeling regulation a violation of free speech, or do confusing labels pose a threat to consumers? Listen as experts discuss and debate this complex issue.
