If price is really an issue as to which chicken you pick up in the supermarket, why don't you take something out of your trolley that you don't really need for the extra £1! Maybe a packet of biscuits or crisps that is no good for you and only there to make your arse spread! Called balancing your budget!
I have sent a letter to Tesco. I will never use their shop again if they let the likes of HFW dictate how I should be buying my chicken. I like bland, I like cheap, I don't give a ~@)* about how my meat gets there. But most of all I do not want to be told by a pratish TV chef who everybody thinks the sun shines out of his @rse.
if god didnt want us to eat animals, why did he make them out of meat ;D ;D ;D

Britain's really disgusting foods presented by Alex RileyI remember it because our lot were struck by the sheer awfulness of the ad campaign they developed as part of it, and went around singing "Mr Riley's pies" for weeks afterwards :-[Sally

Not a great fan of Hugh but i did like this programme Taking on the likes of Tesco is no mean feat and if the outcome is making the short life of chickens better then i have to say to him well done and to Tesco and others the public don't always think that cheap at any price is the best.Now i wonder who is going to come on to the telly next to fight the corner of farmers who are not getting a fair price for the milk there cows produce ?
Money talks - and as long as it does I won't pay the price difference for free-range chicken.
Thursday night I thinkPoor little pigs :(Joolieeee
don't you agree that that it should be freedom of choice. But probably most people would pay the extra 90p for the rspca standards bird wouldn't they???

I was put off low grade chicken by Marina Lewinska's book "Two Caravans" - if anyone wants a good read it is both entertaining and enlightening on the chicken production issues and on immigrant workers, strawberry picking etc.
