Death of a Hamburger Bun

Have you noticed an alarming trend in America's casual restaurants and diners? If you have not been a victim yet, I bet you at least know people who have gone through this extremely traumatic event.

Meatrix

TheMeatrix.com, featured on the right nav, is extremely creative, in addition to being eye opening. Please check out this film as it is important to learn the truth about the greedy "Factory Farming" corporations. Unlike past  animal protests, the makers of the Meatrix are carnovoirs, giving them instant street cred. (which is why they instantly caught my attention)You see, they are not questioning the place for human beings on top of the food chain; only the inhumane conditions in these factory farms. Moopheus, the leader of the resistance,  knows that he will eventually die to become steak. That is his calling since God made him so delicious
