Part I
In “Meatrix” filmmaker shows us the world where meat products come from. Leo is the young pig who lived in fantasy farm and was wondered to recognize about real world which was recalled by Moopheus, the cow who wants to save family farm. Moopheus offered Leo to take one of the pills to learn about real world, or to take other one to stay in that fantasy world. When Leo found out all of them he wants to destroy Meatrix because animals become sick in there. So, workers-agents added to their feed antibiotics for animals.
In the “Meatrix II” Moopheus continue to explain Leo about real world and what they did past 2 years, they saved over 10 million animals from Meatrix, and now people who want to be healthier can used them every day. However cow said that Leo is one who can save more animals. When they came back in fantasy world, Leo was fascinated by it, but Moorpheus immediately showed him what the real is. The cows and chickens located in unpleasant place with awful condition. Agents of Meatrix are pumping the animals an artificial growth hormone that was banned by Europe and Canada. Calves are being feed with milk and cow’s blood. Leo fought with agents, but agents got Moopheus and took away him. Leo and Chickity salvaged him and stopped the dairy factories, and ended with Meatrix.
In “Meatrix II ½” the agent from Meatrix informed Moopheus about factory that feed all fast food nations. Meatrix doesn’t care about their workers who work in dangerous working condition when they manure the meat because their workers are expendable.

Food Additives

I agree that food additives can cause many dangerous diseases that we can meet in the United States because “the Food and Drug Administration (FDA) currently has approved more than 3,000 food additives for use in the United States,” and people are used a lot of “Indirect Food Additives" such as plastic, cardboard and paper dishes, containers and cups for packaging food.
Nowadays, FDA allowed using many additives that added in great number in different food. These are preservative food, flavoring that change the food taste, and coloring. People in the United States are busy, so they often use the preservatives food for their convenience. However, all preservative food contain some additives “…to prevent bacterial or fungal growth.” Or flavoring that gives our food some taste that agitates our appetite. We can get it everywhere such as processed food, cookies, cakes, juice, gum, candies, and so on. Also, coloring that gives the food pleasant looks that also can grow up our appetite. I understand the people who see and smell delicious food they so hard to passed them. I’ve so often heard when people said “It looks so nice. I will buy it.” But, all of these additives are chemical, so they threaten our health.

According the FDA, other additives that threaten our health is indirect food additives. I see people use a lot of plastic, paper, and cardboard cups and containers to carrier their lunch, snack, and hot tea, or coffee every day. These staffs also were created from chemical formulation that harms our health because when plastic or cardboard contacts with hot food there pass chemical reaction that then we’ve been eating not useful meal but chemical food. This chemical food becomes cause of many different diseases like diabetes, cancer, allergy, and so on.
