I've been a vegan 42 years and people say 'amazing'. But I didn't see the light until I was 37 yrs old!! And in those far off days people would often ask: 'What is a VAGAN'? Now it does not need explaining, even if people mock the idea. Why veganism? Because like fighting other injustices (slavery, suffrage, homophobia, racism) it is the right thing to do. Why be cruel when you can be kind? Andrew Tyler 1946-2017. (My husband) ‘The future and the world conforms to the most powerful description of it. So we have to describe the future that we want.’ Margaret Mead 1901 - 1978 ‘Never doubt that a small group of thoughtful, committed citizens can change the world. Indeed it’s the only thing that ever has.'

This was an excellent documentary. Incredibly jaw dropping!

[@connerhughes1435]

Watching Cowspiracy was a real turning point for me, thank you that film and the new films to share to everyone. Thanks for the interview, looking forward to new revelations in the new film at the cinema.

[@Standingmoon56]

Children are the future, thank you for them being aware about Love and Compassion. Thank you for making this film , it is incredible of you to make this documentary , Quote Jane Goodall “there is a disconnect between the clever brain and the human heart which is love and compassion “

[@animalsarebeautifulpeople3094]

I stopped being Christian not because of Christ but because of the organized religion that is modern day christianity. Jesus still ROCKS harder than ever! ❤💚💙💛

Kip is just the most perfect activist EVER... 💚💙🩵💜🩵💯💯💯

[@lefc3784]

What about Meatonomics? They haven't covered the Beef & Dairy industry gaming the system. The Animal Ag Act of 1933 laying the foundation; Gov't bailouts, the Farm Bill every 4-5 yrs, checkoff programs, buyback programs and insurance.

[@kailani37]

I would love to see him tackle the extremely unenvironmental ways electric vehicles are causing the planet, and will cause the planet.

[@evonnevitale4855]

TQ...AMAZING 🙏🙏🙏

[@defendor10]

Will Chrispiracy be on again after 20.3.24?

[@MrRichieface]

I missed it in the cinema, any idea when people are going to be able to see it again?

[@VivaCharity]

Unfortunately, we don't have any more info about when it might be released again in the future, sorry! Soon hopefully!

[@dianafalletta2635]

Love you guys try to watch Christspiricy. I hear you I’m a joke to my family and my husbands family.

[@James-np8pu]

So glad Keagan was not involved with this film. He's a horrible person. I will definitely support this film!

[@PA-hi9wj]

Watch #Christspiracy

[@zantecarroll4448]

i dont think killing animals 'not' behind closed doors is in anyway better than hiding it because desensitizing children to animal cruelty is the worst thing we can do to hurt animals

[@bohditony]

👍🙏💞

[@havadd]

Hey Kip I love how what the health comes out and you go into hiding for your life right ,no publicity?? Just churn out all the important Docs I guess .

[@ciarondunn6655]

[@LisaKeamy]

Appreciate this interview, but I don't understand why the host would ask the guest to describe who he is and what he has done. Are you not interested enough of your guests to be able to honor them with a short presentation, like some sentences? Even if you think someone is a low status person, can't you do some basic research so that you can give a proper introduction?

[@ginatindall]

I thought it was a great interview. They introduce him as a man whose documentaries are the reason many people become vegan so it's clear she knows exactly who he is. It's pretty normal for people to ask guests to introduce themselves on podcasts, not everyone watching knows who they are! Thanks Kip for making another brave documentary! I can't wait to see it!! 🐮 🌿

[@kailani37]

Most interviews I see ask guests to give an overview of who they are, and what they've done. Many people happen upon videos and podcasts and it helps draw them in if they're interested.

[@satanslayer9320]

Cowspiracy has been debunked, and so will this.

[@GOLDENFLYWARRIOR]

Lots of Carnist tried to debunk Conspiracy yet they didn't cause the FACTS stood for themselves. Trolls dislike Vegans cause their beliefs challenge Carnist behaviors. Religions are beliefs yet Spiritual connections don't follow religious institutions per cultures.

[@satanslayer9320]

@@GOLDENFLYWARRIOR Your spiritual connection follows govt institutions, from which Coespiracy got its data from. And govts lie.
