Blog 9-Summary of the Meatrix

      In The Meatrix, which is a parody of the 1999 hit film The Matrix, big companies are taking over family farming to maximize their products. This is where factory farming was created. Animals are abused and treated cruelly. This cause fights and diseases among one another. In order to keep these animals alive, they were give antibiotics which in return kept the animals immune to germs. This caused massive pollution and the residents that are living in these communities are becoming sick Not only these corporations are destroying communities, they also mistreat their workers. They work in unsafe conditions. This can be changed if the consumers stop supporting them by buying their products and start exploring alternatives options.
      In the Meatrix: Revolting, animals area still becoming sick despite the overuse of antibiotics. They inject the animals with rBGH, an artifical growth hormone that Canada and the European union have banned. Baby cows are being fed processed milk which is made from cow blood "the dead is being fed by to the living." These daily factories can be stopped if the consumer stops supporting them and buy from small family farms that are still out there.
      In the Meatrix Two and half, The meat industry don't care about worker's safety and only cares about the profits there going to make. These worker's are working under dangerous conditions. Not only the worker's safety is an issue but with the line moving so fast, excrement's are getting all over the food that we consume. This will lead to many sickness and diseases. The only way in stopping them is to start spreading the word and start buying products from family farms.
      After watching the 360 degree tour of factory farming, I think that we should do something about it and not let the goverment get corrupted by them. There passing all these laws in support of them. For example in June of 2006, the EPA proposed a rule where industrical farms will never have to report how much pollution they release into the community's water system. This has to stop. We can't be supporting them no more. Start buying your products from small family farms. There still out there. You end up being more healthy if you start supporting them.
