Do you want to know what the MEATRIX is?



- You ARE what you eat.


''The Matrix is a system, Neo. That system is our enemy. But when you're inside, you look around, what do you see? Businessmen, teachers, lawyers, carpenters. The very minds of the people we are trying to save. But until we do, these people are still a part of that system and that makes them our enemy. You have to understand, most of these people are not ready to be unplugged. And many of them are so inured, so hopelessly dependent on the system, that they will fight to protect it.'' ~Morpheus

I don't like the fact that they are advocating for animal products even though they are recommending that you switch to "friendlier" (free range, grass fed, etc..) "products", I don't believe that is much of a solution at all, in fact it's so ripe for abuse and misrepresentation that I think it has the potential to make things worse. The only real way to boycott cruelty is to stop buying animal products altogether. Real animal lovers are vegan.

The matrix is a good metaphor, as it is a lie pulled over our eyes that we enable because it is more enjoyable than the actual reality. Factory farms and corporate food in general is a nasty business.

Degrowth, Slow Money, Permacultre, and Relocalization are terms you should search,. learn the truth and work to change your own life and those that come in contact with you. The corporate path is a dead end and a factory of suffering, do not support it.
