Yet again, we are reminded that our illusion of meat being handled responsibly and carefully is misplaced. Did I hear correctly that much of the meat was even being stored outside, or did I imagine that bit? And surely feeding them waste products from others of their own kind was what created the Bovine spongiform encephalopothy prione in cattle? (Apologies for probable spelling errors!)
Another point in favour of organic, happy chickens is they taste much better! After a holiday in France, where the amazing flavour of soup I made from the bones of a chicken we'd bought reminded me of childhood flavours, I switched to organic.
And in a society that is prepared to pay £13.50 for an imported valentine's day rose, why do we object to paying more for food produced in more acceptable ways?
