The Disturbing Truth Behind Meat Production
Intro by Patrice Greanville
James Cromwell, with his co-star in the film classic, BABE.
MOST PEOPLE ARE ACCUSTOMED TO EATING ANIMALS. They have been brought up that way and rarely question the way their favorite animal foods get to the table. After all, food dishes based on animals are everywhere and they can be as pleasurable and addictive as sex or even powerful drugs. But the horrors of industrial animal farming have now reached diabolical proportions, and the price paid by billions of innocent creatures every day around the world, sacrificed on the altar of our moral laziness and addiction to culinary pleasure (that now can be easily met through excellent and much healthier substitutes*), demand that we at least examine in good faith the case for a switch to vegetarianism. In fact, lefties are as guilty as the rest in this regard, and in some cases more so, as many on the left follow an obsolete form of “human supremacism” that has no place in our time. This recalcitrant posture is an affront to the moral integrity and compassion that should always be the distinguishing trait of a true progressive. What’s more, the pain and fear suffered by these creatures is only one of the compelling reasons to sit up and listen. Factory farms and fish farms are now the top environmental polluters in the world, and chief contributing factor to climate change, easily outstripping the impact of all forms of vehicular emissions from hydrocarbons.
Narrated by Oscar-nominee James Cromwell, this powerful film takes viewers on an eye-opening exploration behind the closed doors of the nation’s largest industrial farms, hatcheries, and slaughter plants — revealing the often-unseen journey that animals make from Farm to Fridge.

The Net has thousands of sites now devoted to this topic, and the arrival in the near future of an even more advanced generation of non-meat substitutes will certainly blot out all vestiges of excuses to remain a consumer of real meats.
