The film’s first segment examines the industrial production of meat, calling it inhumane and economically and environmentally unsustainable. The second segment looks at the industrial production of grains and vegetables, again labeling this economically and environmentally unsustainable.
Don Anderson is the Mickey’s hamburger chain marketing director who helped develop the Big One, its most popular menu item. When he learns that independent research has discovered a considerable presence of fecal matter in the meat, he travels to the fictitious town of Cody, Colorado to determine if the local Uni-Globe meatpacking processing plant, Mickey’s main meat supplier, is guilty of sloppy production.
