Netflix seems to be on a campaign via documentaries to educate people about the food industry in America and how efficiency and margins are driving some of the practices around raising cows, chickens, pigs. these are really really biased documentaries, but scared me enough to not eat meat anymore. My anecdote is that since i've stopped eating meat, my skin has a lot less breakouts.



I'm fairly certain Netflix just realizes that there is a very vocal group that is very active on social media about food and nutrition.

Nutrition articles even here on HN bring out the most extreme and vocal commenters.

They just understand modern marketing and use of the social media marketing channel.


This isn't a recent occurrence. Over 5+ years ago, Netflix had dozens of popular food documentaries, notably "Food, Inc."
