Leo gets introduced to how meat products are really made. The real conditions aren't the ones you see on TV with animals living happy on the farm. Animals are put into factories where they're feed antibiotics to keep them alive. Since so many of the animals are suffering from diseases. Chickens beaks get cut off. The Meatrix shows the conditions the animals are put in. How barns are being destroyed and more of these factories are being made. The areas where this takes place are suffering from a lot of pollution.
Leo goes into the Meatrix. He sees what a modern day dairy factory looks like. The machines are getting the milk out of the cows instead of humans. Animals get pumped with artificial growth hormone. Something was shown and T.V about this how the chickens weren't even able to stand up. Cows are being feed blood as a milk replacer. When this happens the cows can easily get mad cow disease.
Leo goes to save Moopheus. The conditions are showed for when the meat is being made. The workers often injure themselves showing how dangerous the working conditions are. The manure from the intestines gets on the meat and is still being eaten.
Many bad things happen with the foods. But what happens to the people who have to work in these environments. Slaughterhouses are filled with blood and fecal matter from the cows and other animals. The animals are taken down a line where they will be shot with a gun. Some workers get knocked down by the cows and fall into the blood. If one of the workers gets a cut they can also get sick. If they fall and crack there head open they can get cow blood and fecal matter inside of their bodies. The workers can get very sick from this. Then the meat gets cut up. But you have to be careful that no fecal matter gets in the meat. Because this can spread E. coli which can make the people who eat the meat get very sick. There are many things in the slaughterhouse that can contaminate the meat. Including the cows because sometimes there sick themselves but are given antibiotics. Sometimes the antibiotics make the cows even sicker. Someone feed this meat can get very sick. Or have chronic diarrhea for a week.
