Zardoz--A Parable Against Veganism


I'm sure everyone knows Zardoz, the classic film that was the pinnacle of Sean Connery and John Boorman's respective careers. But perhaps not everyone is aware that it is a dire parable against veganism.

In a dystopian future, Zed (Sean Connery with a mustache and pony tail) is a barbarian outlander who invades a stagnate community of effete vegans and eventually opens up a can of carnivorous whup-ass on them.

Why?

Because the Vortex (effete vegans) have been exploiting the outlanders, forcing them to supply 'heart-healthy' grains.

Zed gazes in disdain at this buffet of vegan delight

OK, I have to be completely honest, I've no idea what this movie is about beyond the fact that it is a low budget dystopia that has effete vegans and a virile Sean Connery sporting S&M boots and a ponytail.
