I've seen Forks Over Knives several times and highly recommend it. It discusses a lot of research that has been done to help people change their diet from animal to plant based as well as control various diseases. It's excellent, even my husband who is not vegetarian has watched it with me. You may want to give it a try.
The research part sounds interesting. It's when they highlight the plight of the factory farm animals, and the workers for that matter, that I can't watch.I've seen Forks Over Knives several times and highly recommend it.

Unlike the video you mentioned Forks Over Knives is health based and talks about certain common illnesses that can be prevented or reversed by adopting a plant based diet. It does not deal with animal abuse or cruelty. I'm with you, I don't care for those type of movies either.
I don't usually add breadcrumbs but if I do I like to mix them with a little melted butter or olive oil so they turn golden brown and get crispy.
Do you mean for topping casseroles? If so, that's not something I do often. However, I do have one macaroni casserole that has crushed cracker crumbs on top, and I do mix the crumbs with a small amount of melted butter/margarine.
What is the ratio of butter/oil to crumbs? I don't want to mess it up.
Yes
Since I don't usually use butter I would say the absolute smallest amount but the ratio depends on the amount of bread crumbs. Just enough to coat/combine the breadcrumbs but not overpower them. Hope that helps.
Just enough butter to moisten the crumbs and help them get golden brown. 1 cup dry bread crumbs and 2 tablespoons of melted butter / butter substitute / oil is what most recipes suggest. You can add herbs, spices, garlic, cheese, etc to the mixture if you wish.

Thank you. Yes, that helps.
Thank you for all the details! I never thought of adding spices, but spicy breadcrumbs would be perfect for me.
Do you add anything to it or is it ready to use?
Panko is really good. It's a Japanese style bread crumb that is fluffier than regular bread crumbs that look like sand.
That's awesome. I already play around with their menu a lot and switch the meat to beans. But this will make it easier.
They probably did at one point. The bean burrito is one of my faves. I add potatoes, jalapenos and guacamole.
