“Chew on This” is a hip, edgy video that looks at some of the reasons—such as improved health, reduction of animal suffering, environmental concerns, and the desire to free up grain resources to feed the hungry—why many people choose to become vegetarians.

The "Chew on This" DVD also includes the documentary "Meet Your Meat" as a special bonus feature.

TeachKind recommends that educators review all videotapes before showing them to students.

Suggested Uses: Health educators can show this video—in conjunction with information on eating a healthy, varied vegetarian diet—during lessons about nutritional issues. Creative arts and media teachers can critique the video’s stylistic approach and effectiveness on different audiences. Social science and English educators can use this video to introduce a discussion, research paper, writing assignment, or presentation on related issues. Librarians may want to keep a copy in the library for students.
