I think its great to afford to have morals.

I also think that it would be great for every person alive to have the choice of buying a better cut of meat, rather than a cheaper alternative to feed their families.

Unfortunately, life is not like that, and the majority are just grateful to be able to put a meal on the table as oppose to worrying whether the chicken has had a nice life, sat watching a plasma all day whilst eating the 'caviar' of the chicken world.

At the end of the day, its not had a nice life, cos its sat on a dining table being eaten!

And to suggest that its only educated people that are concerned where the food comes from, is, to put it nicely, a load of twaddle.

I think its ironic that we can give more of a damn about the life an animal that is bred to be killed may have had, rather than the people that are eating them. Or is it just me that has, in the past, had to make every penny count to make sure everyone is my household is fed, watered, warm and so on?

Incidentally, I agree the treatment of battery hens is diabolical, and some farming methods are less than to be desired, but I for one, would prefer to lose some morals rather than starve
