Diet and the industry; all foodies can feast on this Netflix binge

If you're looking for something a little bit different to watch on Netflix this week, then there's plenty of foodie films and documentaries in store for you.

The critically acclaimed Netflix Original film about an animal named Okja asks some hard questions without telling viewers how to feel about the answers.

It dives into the world of what we consume, and what influences us to eat meat. "I think there’s a whole load of 16-year-olds who don’t realise where their food comes from,” said the co-writer of the movie, Jon Ronson.

However if you have watched Okja, or fancy looking at food from a different perspective, check out these others documentaries and films:
