In a world where meat consumption is soaring at an unprecedented rate, have you ever wondered how the industry has managed to keep the prices so low without taking into account the huge environmental and health costs? This is the subject of an eye-opening documentary that delves deep into the meat industry to reveal what lies behind the meat on our plates.
Starting from the staggering fact that the world produces three times the meat it did in the 1970s, the documentary unveils how the meat industry has evolved into an aggressive and consolidated market ruled by a handful of multinational corporations. By shedding light on the deteriorating working and living conditions of suppliers, workers, and animals alike, it shows how the meat can be produced as cheaply as possible to meet the surging demand while leaving lasting scars on the planet and our lives.
