1. Excellent!
A great pun, a great device (I love the Matrix films/mythology) and a great message. Please everyone, take the red pill!

2. Supporting
organic farming benefits twofold. Not only are you consuming healthier foods, but you are supporting local growers that keeps dollars in your community rather than filling the greedy coffers of big business farms.

3. My father predicted this would happen
back in the 70s. The rich were buying farms (sometimes, through a broker so their name wasn't known) and amassed large chunks of property. Little by little, they took over the chicken, turkey and hog markets. The little guy couldn't compete and rarely won their fight against pollution of excrement-based runoff--not to mention the strong odors that permeated homes.

He was right. The damage is done. Too many family farms are gone and it is too late to recover them. The other sad thing is that the taste and quality disappeared, too.

5. Yes, I agree
but the tables are turning, albeit slowly. The consumer is now interested in chemical free produce and meat. And the small producer is now delivering quality products. Additionally, people want their hard earned dollars to stay within their community, and more readily support these local entities.
