Meat

My high school class was required to watch Meat in the 1970s. It isn't just a brilliant documentary about the brutal world of a slaughterhouse and how fast a living animal is turned into chops of meat. It is a revelation, requiring you to think about how removed we are from the food we eat, unless we are farmers. For years after watching Meat, I could not say enough about how important I thought this film was. It doesn't directly posit this question, but you will think it nonetheless when you watch Meat: What if we suddenly had to get our food, without grocers, crop pickers, and yes, slaughterhouses?
