The Meatrix

The Meatrix presented information in a fun easy to learn way. The videos simplified all of its main points into a way that anyone could understand. The use of animations presented the information in a non-dull way. Making this viewer want to actually watch the video, as well as the sequels. I was a bit sad when it came to an end and there where no more clips. Using "The Matrix" as the setting for the videos, with their own twist, presented the content in a manner familiar to the audience. Having any one that has watch the original movies, or have an idea on what they are about, be able to draw connection between the two. Besides providing the main topics in a fun familiar way to the audience, at the end of the videos the characters informed the viewer on what he could do to help change the current situation. Including reading the labels of their foods more carefully, to try to stay away from factory farm products and support independent farms. As well as providing a website and link where more information on the topic and what can be done could be found.
Charlotte is the largest city in the the State of North Carolina. With a population of 1.8 million people. It is best know for its banking and not agriculture. To provide food for all of these people grocery stores can be found be practically found in every shopping center. With the grocery stores utilizing factory farms and manufacturing plants to provide their produce and goods. With only a small selection of organic and substitutable food sources sold. In the heart of the city it is very fast pace, with people always on the go. Due to this fast food establishments are one of the most common sites while on the road. These establishments are much worst then grocery stores when it comes to where their food comes from and what goes in it. That does not stop consumers from shopping at these restaurants due to the convenience of fast tasty food available whenever and wherever one will go.
While Charlotte is a massive city is is surround by many rural and urban communities. These communities- such as York County, Gaston County, Albemarle, Mattews, Monroe, and Mint Hill- are for the majority farm based. Instead of fast food restaurants dotting the country sides farms can be seen for as far as the eyes can see. These cities and counties help provide healthier food supplies to the city of Charlotte. I live on the outskirts of Charlotte. Just a 5 to 10 minute drive from my house I can visit a multitude of farmer markets. If I travel further down the road into South Carolina I can find immense farms, both factory and self sustained farms. If people took the time out of their busy schedules to take a ride to one of these local farms they actually buy and meet the people growing their food. Finding out exactly how their food is grown, helping slowly pull back the curtain put in placed by major companies.
