How can we be a nation of animallovers when we are happy to turn a blind eye to that? Its a living creature, does it not deserve a life as such no matter how short. And yes free range is usually a bit more expensive but if you use your head you can get loads out of one chicken. I spent £6.50 on a free range one from my local butchers, did a roast for 5 people, have enough meat for a chicken curry tomorrow and am making up stock for a risotto using the bones. Not bad for £6.50.

As a nation we eat toomuch meat then what is recommended, so if people did research and ate healthily, alot more would be able to buy free range chicken. Sorry but I would rather feed my child a chicken that has grown in an normal amount of time, as it should instead of one that has been bred so it grows abnormally, is stuffed full of antibiotics and lives its short life in its own shit. And we are by no means well off, I just think good food is more important.
