30 Bananas a Day!

Presumably the first documentary on modern veganism.
A documentary on the British vegan society from 1976. Though seemingly quaint and relaxed it covers all the dark issues that veganism confronts.
Though visually and technically dated the message hasn't aged at all and applies even more so to the world today.
Surprisingly enough, originally broadcast on the anti-vegetarian pro-vivisection BBC.

So nice! I love the part where they talk about the tests they did on hundreds of vegans and that there is nothing wrong with a vegan diet. And the part about that its such a shame we know more about rats than about humans, so sad and true.

Here are the other two parts of the documentary well worth watching. Please note that when the word pathetic is used to describe animals that it is being used in an older sense of meaning something that you should sympathise with as opposed to have contempt for. Even the closest modern internet dictionary I have to hand gives this definition:

PATHETIC |pəˈTHetik|
adjective
1 arousing pity, esp. through vulnerability or sadness: she looked so pathetic that I bent down to comfort her.
• informal miserably inadequate: his test scores in Chemistry were pathetic.
2 archaic relating to the emotions.
DERIVATIVES
pathetically |-(ə)lē|adverb
ORIGIN late 16th cent. (in the sense ‘affecting the emotions’): via late Latin from Greek pathētikos ‘sensitive,’ based on pathos ‘suffering.’
