The Meatrix

The Meatrix is a product of the first-ever Free Range Flash Activism Grant. In February 2003, Free Range Graphics, a cutting-edge design company, invited hundreds of non-profit organizations to apply for a grant that included production of a free Flash movie. After carefully reviewing more than 50 applications, the grant was awarded to GRACE’s Sustainable Table program.

Sustainable Table works to educate consumers about the problems with factory farming and to promote sustainable food. The Meatrix was originally produced as a way to promote the Eat Well Guide, Sustainable Table’s online directory of sustainable farms, stores and restaurants in the US and Canada that sell meat, poultry, dairy and eggs from small, sustainable family farmers. But only days after release, it became evident that The Meatrix was also an excellent educational tool about factory farming. The film broke all records for online advocacy and was seen by millions of people in the first few months alone.

When I live RIGHT next to a organic meat farm, yes!! Unlike animals that live in cheap meat farms they live longer, live with their parents longer. Live in big fiels and eat food they’re supposed to eat! We’ve eaten meat for thousands of years, why the should we stop when a bunch of think its the worst thing ever?! Listen, theres MUCH more worse things going on okay? Theres world hunger going around now and it won’t stop. Ten years on millions of people will starve to death!

This is incredible! I’m so glad I found this. It is so true, the consumers have the power to change this. Reduce meat consumption and if buying meat and dairy, buy certified organic/free range.

Meat in America is not real meat anymore. They pump the animals so full of hormones, chemicals, antibiotics, etc… and treat them so poorly that what you get on your plate is a piece of cancer. I dont eat meat too often but all the meat I eat is free range organic stuff. The normal “meat” at supermarkets and resturaunts makes me sick and I refuse to support that industry.

Can you cut the meat off the bones or do you have to marinate them on bones and cut them off later?

Thanks for your input.
