Re: £2 chickens
Blazey, why do you always think that your opinion is correct and everyone else is wrong?
Maybe in 20 years time when you have more experience of life you will, possibly be more qualified to comment about whether people, can or can not afford to spend more on food. Your example of the cost of eggs , does this refer to the price of 6 eggs or 12 eggs. If it is 6 eggs 50p difference might not seem very much, but if you have a family you might go through 24 eggs a week, meaning that you woyuld have to find an extra £2.00 per week - which would mean you had to cut back on your spending for something else. Maybe you would like to suggest what they could save the £2.00 on. And in case you want to know, I buy free range eggs from a local farm (which is why I have no idea how much eggs are in shops), costing £1.50 for 12 at the moment. |

Re: £2 chickens
So you are all batting that we must pay extra for ethically produced chicken. But wouldn't you then be a hipocrite to by say Nesle products or buy Shell fuel or spend a penny on non fair trade coffee or ....
You see the whole thing about 'ethical' products are you take one step and its a slippery slope to rack and ruin. If you want to start spouting ethical make sure ALL your food investments/fuel/clothes/ in fact EVERY part of your life is ethical or your just paying lip service to the whole ting which in my book makes you worse than someone who stands up and says they can clear it in their conscience. So stand up and be counted or shut up and put up, are you 'ethical' or not |

Re: £2 chickens
I specifically go to Sainsburys to buy my eggs because they sell Woodland trust eggs which come from hens that have been brought up amongst trees and natural surroundings.
The Woodland Trust They cost quite a bit more than ordinary eggs but I believe you can taste the difference in the yolks. I also used to work in the vegetable shop that used to be on union road, some of you may have been there. We used to sell natural eggs brought in from locals and we got goose eggs once, absolutely gorgeous. |
Re: £2 chickens
I do not and would not buy chicken full stop. I certainly would not buy two pound chickens.
Whilst so much of this country is obese and overweight I can see no justification for exploiting animals. Mos t of us would benefit from eating less, therefore we can afford to spend more on food that has been responsibly produced and consume less. |
Re: £2 chickens
Thats fine now whilst you haven't got 40 hours work then to come home to run a house and kids etc. If you can honestly put your hand on your heart and tell me that you will only buy electricity from ethical comapnies, buy petrol etc from ethical companies, buy clothes from ethical suppliers FOR THE REST OF YOUR LIFE then fair enough. I do however reserve teh right to not believe a word of it as its not going to happen. I happen to know a lady who went massively out of her way to shop ethically for everything and even she admitted she could probably only hit 50-60% of what she would like to. Its just not possible.
