the meatrix
As its name implies, the Meatrix spoofs the popular Matrix movies. But
instead of Keanu Reaves, the Meatrix stars a young pig, Leo, who lives
on a pleasant family farm ... he thinks. Leo is approached by a wise
and mysterious cow, Moopheus, who shows Leo the truth about modern
farming -- the truth about the Meatrix!
It may be humorous, but the film also brings up an important issue:
factory farming. Huge, industrial farms have all but wiped out the family
farm in America. Along the way, they are damaging our health, our
environment and our communities (not to mention the lives of billions of
animals).
But the Meatrix isn¹t all gloom and doom. In fact, it ends with an
upbeat, meaningful way that YOU can help fight the factory farming crisis
-- the ³Eat Well Guide², an online healthy-living resource that allows
you to enter your zip code and find nearby family farms that produce
organic, safe produce and meat:

Supporting family farmers is an effective way for us all to protect the
environment, our health and animal rights. The Eat Well Guide makes it
easy.
