The Meatrix uses humor to expose horrors of factory farming to public



The Meatrix, a viral video that launched in November 2003, is a "unique vehicle by which to educate, entertain and motivate people to create change," according to its site. Now a series, these videos seek to educate viewers about where there food comes from, shedding a humorous, yet grotesque light on the hidden horrors of factory farming.

The Meatrix, which was released by Free Range Studios, has several suggestions for sustainable eating including: eating less meat, seeking out sustainable restaurants and shopping at local farmer's markets.

I appreciated that suggestions from The Meatrix didn't seem horribly extreme, and seemed to focus on health, a concern more easily related to the general public. A quirky way of promoting sustainable eating for all ages.

  1. Your blog is rad, but lacking in comments. I love comments, so I'm giving you one. xo.

    P.S. I ate at Acapulco yesterday and thought about how the last time we went we were so out of it. We need a re-do this summer, puh-lease.
