The Matrix: Special Factory Farming Edition
Posted by: Dr. Mercola
November 19 2003 | 1,956 views

The first link below is an amazing animated parody of The Matrix that details some of the horrors of factory farming. If you really want to know how most commercial meat is raised, then you won’t want to miss this compelling spoof.

After watching the cartoon you may find yourself looking for some sources of humanely raised, healthy meat. I highly recommend you try grass-fed beef not only because it is exceptionally nutritious for you, as mentioned below, but also because the cattle are raised in a much more humane manner than beef from factory farmed cattle you will find in most stores. Grass-fed beef comes from cattle naturally-raised and free-ranged on green pastures, and this translates into many major health benefits for you including:

  • A natural source of omega-3 fats that you need to prevent heart disease, cancer, depression and Alzheimer's
  • High in CLA (Conjugated Linoleic Acid), a major nutrient that helps prevent cancer
  • Full of beta carotene
  • Loaded with over 400 percent more of vitamins A and E than regular store-bought beef
  • Virtually devoid of any risk of disease and infections associated with regular store-bought beef

Now, if you are like most people you found the first Matrix film intriguing but the last two somewhat disappointing. Most of the reviews for for the current Matrix Revolutions film are highly negative. But if you are intrigued with the underlying concept of The Matrix series on a philosophical level, then you may enjoy the article in this next link below. It discusses The Matrix theme as a serious work of philosophy, and as worthy of consideration.
