1. After watching the Meatrix trilogy and the other footage (see power point or go here – http://www.themeatrix.com/ (Links to an external site.) and watch all three,) please comment on the rise of the factory farming ‘machine.’ How has this happened? What are some of the hazards and disadvantages of this type of farming? What are some of the advantages? What affect is this having on the family farm?
2. Now that you have learned a bit about types of farming, what are your choices as a consumer? If you don’t want to support factory farms, what are some of your other choices?
