    “The Meatrix” is a shorts series of animated film that is illustrated base on the original movie “The Matrix”. Morpheus, Lio and Trinity, are replaced by three different species of animals farm. Morpheus, the cow, goes with Trinity, the chicken, to show, Nilo, the pig, the reality of the agribusiness.  Lio after being exposed to the cruelty to these animals, is revealed in destroying the agricultural industry. I think that the messages that” The matrix” is bringing to us should be considerate. Therefore, I think we should stop supporting the big industries of the agricultural business as in order to preserve our health and the health of the animal as well.

  Animal cruelty is very often presented in the agribusiness. The abuse on their feeding, treatment and even mental health is unknown by the consumers, who are still dreaming on the idea of the quality of their food.  These animals are grouped in critical limited spaces where they can’t even see their tails. What is more, they receive all kind of medications; some to prevent their illness and others to make them grow fast in order to satisfy the demand of the market. They are resistant to death thanks to the huge amount of antibiotics they receive.

  When we choose to get the products of the big meat industry, we are getting more for less, but at the same time putting on the side the importance of our health. The condition of how these animals are process is a ugly true. We as the consumer are literary blind about the sources of our alimentation. We are extremely considered in reading the Nutrition’s Facts that are given on the pocket, but there is not enough information to tell us the whole process of life of the animal that we are eating. Why not stop supporting them? If protein is the excuse, we an get it from other sources such as rice, oat or beans.  They are even cheaper and definitely cleaner then those agric-meat product.

  In short, if we care about the our health and the health of those defenseless animals, is time to stop putting in the shopping car  the eggs, cheeses and meat of the national brands. There are still some local family who offer more decent food.
