THE MEATRIX II: REVOLTING & #8232;GOES LIVE, BRINGS MESSAGE: & #8232;THINK TWICE

ABOUT THE DAIRY YOU BUY

 

[NEW YORK, NY] — The Meatrix II: Revolting went live today at

www.themeatrix2.com , bringing an important message to food buyers

nationwide — manure and deceit might just lurk beneath the packaging

of dairy products in your shopping cart. The cliffhanger sequel to the

award-winning Meatrix movie takes on another facet of the factory farm

industry, exposing the ugly truth behind factory dairy farms. The

film's companion site includes The Meatrix 360 Interactive, an

animated educational tool with more than 20 hot buttons linking to

resource pages that offer in-depth information about factory farm issues.

 

" The Meatrix II: Revolting takes the Meatrix campaign to the next

level, " stated Diane Hatz, executive producer of the film. " We're not

only educating consumers about factory farming and offering them a

solution through our Eat Well Guide, we're also building a sustainable

community through the online discussion forum and `get involved'

section found on our new Meatrix web site. "

 

The three characters, Moopheus, Leo, and Chickity, embark on a new

adventure when Leo is taken to a factory dairy farm. On his trip, he

learns firsthand the ugly truth about how the animals are raised, what

they eat, the hormones and antibiotics they are injected with, and

their unsanitary living conditions. The trio finds that these dairy

factories create enormous amounts of waste that pollute the

surrounding land, water and air.

 

" Large-scale, unsustainable dairy operations are increasing in number,

pushing out the smaller, sustainable farms, " said Hatz. " Consumers

have a right to know how their food is produced, and they have a right

to make the healthiest choice for themselves and their families. "
