I hadn't even heard of this propagandamentary until I saw the Joe Rogan Experience Debunk in my YouTube recommend. After watching a 3 hour debunk (at x1.5-2.0 speed), I read the comments and realized JRE had since had one of the producers on to debate/refute the debunk with the debunker present (all of this in happened in the last two weeks, btw). While I'm not sure if the original debunk was fair as I haven't seen the documentary (aka propagandamentary), I did think the "debate" was a bit wonky as the producer of the film (James) never really proved many of the specific claims the debunker debunked. Rather he raised credibility issues with the debunker, attacked specific data points that were used, and ignored any undesirable questions.
So why am I posting here? I was just wondering if: a) anyone else did the same; and b) if I should waste my time on the documentary. I feel like I've already got the gist, and I ain't buying the whole vegetarian/vegan argument. In fact, it seems like the two kinda agree that a plant-based diet with some animal protein is preferable, but--dishonestly--it seems that is not the same claim the film is making.
PS This film has a 74% rating on TMDB?! I won't rate it because I haven't seen it but that seems high. I bet if I watched it that rating would change a bit. lol

You are wasting your time dismissing a documentary you haven't seen. Most docs are one sided. Especially now a days. So is Joe Rogan. Skip it because you will just waste your time. You have already decided. Talk to a real vegetarian or vegan instead. Screw Joe Rogan and his ilk.

I have actually known many vegetarians/vegans in my life. They are usually motivated by ethical concerns (as noted in the podcasts). Sadly, none have been able to stay on it. Some due to malnutrition others due to lack of will power. I myself have never been so inclined, although I am a fan of integrated farming methodologies. I prefer locally sourced meat from family farms, and thankfully that is an option for me.
BTW, just curious, but did you catch the podcast(s) or just the documentary?
