THE MEATRIX: from Freerangegraphics.com, this is a clever Flash cartoon which parodies the "Matrix" trilogy. Follow Leo the pig and Moo-pheus to a nightmarish world of industrial corporate farms where overcrowded animals are force fed growth hormones, waste accumulates, and water/air are polluted. On the other hand, corporate farms help keep food prices low for consumers and provide needed exports for the U.S. economy. Regardless of your view of corporate farms, visit this entertaining, thought provoking site to begin a discussion of food and agriculture issues.
