COWSPIRACY
NOW STREAMING ON NETFLIX When “Cowspiracy” hit theaters last year, it was a serious wake-up call for a lot of people — a definitive statement about the damage animal agriculture is doing to the environment. Now, the critically-acclaimed flick has hit Netflix, and it is changing lives all over again. As of September, a special cut of the film (from Executive Producer Leonardo DiCaprio) was added to the popular streaming service. Created by Kip Andersen and Keegan Kuhn, the groundbreaking film included scientific evidence and expert testimony on the consequences of meat, dairy, and egg production — and why no one talks about it. The results were shocking, and the flick has done wonders for changing people’s minds about a plant-based lifestyle. Now that it’s easily available on Netflix, watching Cowspiracy is a powerful way to encourage die-hard omnivores to reconsider their food choices. Add Vegucated and Earthlings to the mix, and you might make yourself a new vegan.
PLANT-BASED MEAT COMPANY

The recipes were created in the couple’s home kitchen, and include healthy, recognizable ingredients, combined to create a meaty texture. They offer three varieties: the Prepper (chicken-esque roast), the Stallion (Italian sausage), and El Zapatista (Mexican chorizo). While primarily available in select Whole Foods, Earth Fares and other specialty stores throughout western North Carolina, the surrounding region including Georgia — the products are also available for order online, from anywhere in the U.S., at NoEvilFoods.com. “Within six months to a year, realistically, we do want to be in the major markets within a four or five hour radius of Asheville,” Schadel says of the duo’s future plans. That includes Knoxville, the Atlanta area and the Triangle. People in the south have a lot to look forward to.
