Re: Battery Chickens=Good???

Read an interesting piece the other week (forget where - probably in the Guardian) pointing out that while many people eat chicken/turkey as "non-fattening" meat, this is actually not the case with battery birds. They don't get any exercise so develope a lot of fat. Bit like humans really ....

I also said it would be the last time I read that paper as I hadn't the time to invest reading such shoddy journalism. When I posted, there was a comment below mine saying almost exactly the same (about appalling journalism). Then both my post and the other person's disappeared. Strange, that.
