The Meatrix
“Hello, Leo. Have you heard of the Meatrix? Do you want to know WHAT IT IS?”
Does this sound familiar? Or is there something not quite right? It’s from the website called The Meatrix, and it’s the “story that we tell ourselves about where meat and meat products come from.” My wife read about it today in the Yoga Journal - in the “Karma credits” section where they write about good people doing cool things.
As a huge Matrix fan myself, I got such a kick out of this very clever spoof with Leo, the pig, and Moofeus, the cow. As I watched the four minute animation, the SkinnyChef (aka my wife) reminded me of what is happening in the farming industry. It’s a real eye opener, but no surprise for those of you who have read “Fast Food Nation” by Eric Schlosser. Let’s hope that Leo and Moofeus will continue to rage against the machine.
