As an introduction, participants will be treated to a short DVD series called "The Meatrix". Produced by Sustainable Table and Free Range Studios, The Meatrix, The Meatrix II: Revolting, and The Meatrix II ½ expose the dirty truth behind today's industrial meat and dairy production. The movies use action & humor to educate audiences, while the Meatrix website offers alternatives to the problems with industrial agriculture.
