Meat Heads

I remember a few years ago a cattleman named Howard Lyman appeared on Oprah's show and delivered a searing indictment of cattle ranching and the meat industry in general. Oprah was so disturbed by what she heard she exclaimed "I'll never eat another hamburger again!" For that honest appraisal she was sued by the Texas Cattlemen's Association. If the cattlemen were frightened of what Oprah said then, they will be terrified of this movie. This compelling movie unflinchingly exposes the meat industry from top to bottom: the unceasing despair and cruelty the animals must endure; the dire enviromental consequences; the health risks; and the manipulation of the workers. A visceral, and stunning movie. A must see!
