Reception

Isabelle Hanne of Libération wrote that the film's subtitle gives the impression of alarmism, but that it is "by no means an anti-meat pamphlet", instead drawing its substance from contrasting industrial and ecological farming and covering "somewhat unexpected scientific experiments".[1] La Libre Belgique's Hubert Heyrendt wrote that the film "forces us to rethink our consumption and production methods", and described it as an "exciting journey" which has room for optimism and "fortunately" does not try to "convert the viewer to vegetarianism, rather to encourage him to reflect on his current practices".[2]
