The chickens'll get you...

I've been gripped by Hugh's Chicken Run over the last couple of nights, as have millions of tv viewers, apparently. Have you seen it? If you eat meat you should watch it. I don't normally get on my high horse about vegetarianism (or anything else, ever, obviously...ha, ha!), but honestly, after watching this if you don't turn to free-range chickens or become veggie over night you should be bloody ashamed of yourself. It's absolutely shocking that there are people out there that couldn't give a toss how their meat is reared, and, as Kim said, how would those people like it if they had to 'live' cheek by jowl, crapping on each other, unable to stand up... Erm, does sound a bit like inner city life doesn't it? Well, at least they've got telly; the chickens have nowt but ammonia sores and death to look forward to. So buy free-range or don't eat meat at all. There, I've said my piece, now I'll get down before I get started on battery eggs...you wouldn't would you? Please tell me you don't eat those?
