'there are probably factory farms out there that aren't quite that bad.'
Um, yes. But documentary footage is certainly not necessarily 'worst-case.' It's simply what is documented. I've seen varying amounts of disgustingness on factory farms through documentaries and material put out by the animal farming industries. Though, I figured that for the movie they put effort into making the chicken confinement nicer, since it's a movie and not a documentary.
That may well be the case (for the movie), but AR videos do have an agenda. It doesn't mean that they're lying, but it does mean that they probably handpick the footage they show in order to present the most compelling case against modern animal husbandry that they can.
If they go into a chicken confinement and they document that it's gross and there are chickens dying inside and all the other disgusting things that happen inside the confinement, that doesn't mean they're 'handpicking for an agenda' they're simply showing what's going on in there.
Though, for films with clips from various documentaries, they do show the most compelling footage, since the point of the film would be to point out how bad the confinements can be/generally are. But, as I said, they will show varying degrees of abuse in various films. Sometimes they will just show the crowding in cages, as was generally depicted in Napoleon Dynamite.
Hm, okay. Yeah in his bio it says 'Does not drink milk or eat red meat.' I guess some people equate that with being vegetarian... I guess that makes more sense that he would chew meat, but not eat it. I doubt many vegetarians could stomach that...
i don't see how chewing on or chewing on and swallowing would be much different if he were actually a vegetarian. because a vegetarian isn't goign to chew beef chewing gum because it is not vegetarian.
i think if i put a bite of steak in my mouth i would immediately vomit.
but seeing the last few comments stating that he is not actually veg makes more sense. it almost seems more wasteful to chew it and spit it out than to chew it and swallow it. that is killing an animal just for entertainment purposes.

What a weirdo. Oh, I'm sorry, I guess he's a great "actor" to go to such lengths for his craft.
