for the homework i watched two videos
the first was the meatrix. I found the meatrix down right stupid. the idea was clever but it was as convincing as arnold shwartisneger against steriods. The whole video was blaming the big bad coperations for taking over the family farms, as if they had brainwashed the farmers with the beams. What they dont mention is that these farmers choose to be the meat indusrty we see today to make money. the video had major wholes in the logic The other thing that bothered me was the biased points. It was full of insults about people who eat normal meat. the whole thing was very unofficail and annoying to watch.
The second video i watched was alot better. There were no talking animals and the footage was enough to get my sister to stop eatting meat for at least a day. The video showed the inhumain treatment of the animals such as cutting off the balls of a baby pig while its awake. It was interesting to watch this because some of the practices seemed crewl for no reason. I always knew that they treated animals bad, but i dont understand why they did some of the things they did. I was surprised how little we know about how our food is made. all we see is whats in the plastic.
