I watched Cowspiracy a while ago. While many of its points are valid (as far as I can tell), I was personally distracted by the pseudo-conspiratorial subnarrative regarding the NGOs' focus on easier goals. I felt the same about the storytelling in Cowspiracy as I did about many of Michael Moore's films: the "personal struggle"-style and an indignant narrator detracts from the main points, which could instead be more fleshed out in detail. BUT: People don't ignore the points these two documentaries bring up because they haven't heard them; they do it because they are able to (and it's very easy and convenient to do so at present). PS. Diet is one of several subjects here on HN (and elsewhere) that tend to be fraught with anecdotes and fads.
