It seems as though corporations are keeping people out of the know in order to keep us ignorant. It isn's well known how meat and other products are processed and produced. How they treat their animals and how they treat their customers is just wrong. Keeping customers out of the know seems to be a common theme. In Wall-e the company Buy n Large was keeping their consumers in a shroud of ignorance. Basically ignoring what was going on, on earth. Pixar does a fantastic job depicting most cooperations. It's up to us, the people with the knowledge, to spread the word about companies like BnL and what they are willing to do for the sake of profitability. Exploiting land and animals in such a way should really not be tolerated. It makes me think how the media influences policy in Washington. Political action committees or POCs help fund politicians to get them into power and then they lobby the politicians into passing bills in their favor. The POCs accomplish that by using the media to influence voters. This directly affects the EPA because corporations usually fund POCs and use their power of the media to prevent bills from being passed. Back to BnL I noticed that the president  of the company actually looks like he is in a presidential roll, just showing another metaphor corporate power in politics.
