The Meatrix showed how the consumers don’t know the truth of how the meat industry really just like the Matrix people didn’t know they lived in a fantasy world and didn’t know anything that was really happening. The little pig Leo was “the one” who has to prevent these horrible conditions.  The conditions are horrible in the industry of meat. The meat, cheese, eggs, and many other packaged products are the food that consumers eat don’t know the truth about what they bought. The corporate business men from the meat industry are ruining our environment and are being cruel to animals. These industries should be truthful to their consumers that their products aren’t healthy for animals and people.

The conditions are so bad that workers get hurt. The factories are too fast paced for the workers to keep up. The line that they work in is so fast for them to keep up but the line gets faster. They only care about profit. They get injuries and illnesses from the condition that they are working in. The air and the factories are dirty but the worker has no choice but to work I these conditions. They use illegal immigrants so they can pay them whatever they want because they can’t complain.  The workers work very long hours to keep up with the demand from the corporate meat industry.

The workers are important but so are the animals the consumer eats. There are cows, pigs and chickens that are so close together and don’t even get any sun or air. They are grown in these harsh and cramped conditions. They give them artificial hormones and antibiotics. These keep them alive and cause antibiotic resistant germs. These conditions even can make the meat have mad cow disease. The use the dead cow’s blood and milk to feed the baby cows. In the factories when they cut up the meat, manure gets on the meat that causes diseases like e coli.
            The environmental friendly family farms were healthy to the people and animals but since the animals took over the animals are in horrible condition and so is the environment. People are forced to breathe in the chemicals and the waste from the farms. The innocent people are victims to disease they can catch from the air. The land degrades and the factories are dirty and pollute the land that destroys the communities.

These corporate meat industries treat their worker badly and are really cruel to animals all for profit. People who buy their food don’t know how it was made or what kind of treatment animals went trough.  Consumers see low priced food and the industries see the profit.
