Chicken Run was an excellent program, it taught us things that we never new about what we are eating, Free Range Chickens from now on.

I only ever by free range meat - it's more important to me than buying organic, but the problem comes when you go out or get a takeaway. I try to just eat veggie when I go out, but I have to admit that I do quite often just order the meat dish and pretend it's all ok.

What I don't get is why people think they should have cheap meat. All this talk of people not being able to afford it misses the point - we shouldn't be eating so much meat anyway. The poor in Italy are responsible for some of our favourite italian dishes and they are usually meat-free.

Meat should be a special treat, not a daily requirement.

I watched that show twice resently and im still shocked knowing about all of these battery chickens! Its unbeleivably cruel!

My mum thought the same about it and now she wants us to buy a real live chicken to keep and take care of.

Does any one know any UK sites were you can find out where to get one?? If so email me plz.

While I admire the efoorts people make to be ethical and buy free-range, I disagree that meat should be a special treat. It is never special for the animal/being who has been imprisoned without their consent, fattened and slaughtered. Vegan diets are the ONLY environmentally and populace-wise sustainable diet.
