Summary of The Meatrix BLOG # 3.4

The Meatrix
              The short film The Meatrix basically copies the movie the matrix in a funnier way in order to get their message across. Moopheus shows up where Leo is located and asks him if he would like to know the truth. Moopheus offers him 2 pills, a red pill that leads to the real world and the blue pill that makes Leo forget about his encounter with Moopheus. Leo chooses the red pill and they appear in a factory farm with horrible conditions. Moopheus then explains how factory famrs came from greedy corporations. Moopheus explained how in these farms many horrible things go on. Things such as animal cruelty, and massive pollution. Leo then joins their resistance but Moopheus makes it clear that it is us the consumer, who has the real power.

             In the second film, two years have past by since Leo's mind has been freed. 10 million minds have been freed which made people start buying healthier foods. They then proceed to go inside of the Meatrix to show Leo the farm conditions. While there agents come to inject the animals with a growth antibiotic. Leo gets mad and starts fighting these agents. He wins the fight, but while doing so the other agents take Moopheus with them. Leo and chikity agree to rescue Moopheus but Leo makes it clear that it is up to us to stop these factory farms by buying dairy from small family farms.

              In the third film, it first shows a recap of what has happened in the two previous films. Then it shows Leo and chikity approaching the factory where Moopheus is being held captive. The agent explains how that factory produces five-thousand cows per day. The agent then presses a button that makes a hole appear from under Moopheus that makes him fall onto a hook. Since he is tied up, Moopheus cannot get off the hook where he is hung which is taking him to a machine that would cut him up into pieces. Leo and Chikity then barge into the room where the agent is in and throw him into the same hole Moopheus went through. Moopheus and the agent continue fighting until Chikity presses the button for the machine to stop. Moopheus wins the fight and they end up escaping.

Family Farms
In this passage it explains why more and more family farms are going out of business. It tells the reader that it is mostly because of greedy corporations. The government force about 330 families out of their farm business per week. I personally think this is insane because family farms are better in many ways. They produce fresher and healthier foods. The factories can also harm our environment with all the chemicals and pesticides they use for their animals. The only way to solve this is to take a stand by buying only from small family businesses.
