The Meat of the Matter is episode five of Season 1 of Braceface.
Plot[]
When Alden gets Sharon an opportunity to work alongside him at a part-time job, Sharon learns more than she ever wanted to know about the meat-packing business. Upset at what she considers to be an unfair treatment towards animals, Sharon becomes a vegetarian - even if it might mean forfeiting her chances of being with Alden. Acting on a new value system isn't always as easy as it seems to be, though.
