Food #8 Industrial Food

The Meatrix-

I found this example to be a bit corny but informative. As soon as I read the name of the movie I got the gist of what the clip would be about. The Matrix but in a form relating to industrial farming. To show the real world, the truth about the farms we get our food from. The scene where the pigs are in a spacious pen and then are pushed in a smaller and more cramped pen to make room for 3 other pens of similar size, just to make in increase the amount of pigs on the farm, made me sick. I felt disgusted by the fact that in real life pigs are put into these situations and we gone on supporting industrial farming because we don't see it happening around us. We haven't been to an industrial farm to know what the animals go through in order to produce milk and meat for us. All we care about is that we buy our foods from the supermarket where everything is well kept and clean, foods are neatly packed and are in fun colors, so we are attracted to the industrialized food without knowing where it came from or how the animals were treated. We live in the Meatrix, blinded by the world we live in and the lies fed to us.
