One day I will only hunt wild game to fulfill my meat needs. So sad.

I don't really see how the food had anything to do with overconsumption. We def have that problem though. People buying shit on borrowed money and instantly thinking of the next thing they can buy with money they don't have.


Buy so much stuff you can't even fit the old stuff in your house.

Its the title of the documentary (french). I believe that the entire doc talks more about other forms of overconsumption as well.

I have to disagree with you though. This video pretty much has everything to do with overconsumption, with the very last shot driving the point home.

I kind of skipped section to section. I see what you meant at the end, didn't know it was the title either.

Who were those people who worked at the meat factory. I would rather be homeless than work there at least my life would be interesting

The way I see it, if the whole meal is ate it is supplying the needs of the people eating it.

Farmers used to do the same thing only on a smaller scale. The only thing I see wrong with this is if they do not sell that product or the food goes stale and the consumer wont consume.
