Isn’t it great to see people actually trying, and i think to certain degree succeeding in changing peoples opinions and making them think hard.  I really think this is what Jamie Oliver and Hugh Fearnley-Whittingstall are doing with their current run of programs.

Hugh’s ‘Chicken Out’ Campaign really is gaining momentum.  You only need to look at the banner on our homepage to see the number of supporters growing, litterally by the second.  Highlighting the awful conditions and welfare issues of the animals we eat is important.  As said by many, sure a 2 for £5 on chickens is cheap, but come on, should it really be that cheap?  I mean to raise and sell a bird for less than £2.50 and still make a profit means that it surely cant have been in the best of welfare situations for its 6 week life span.

I hope this trend of “celebrities” putting their weight behind real issues continues and I hope Jamie and Hugh together can achieve the awareness that Jamie managed solo for school dinners!

Remember to join the Chicken Out Campaign!
