More details
If you're like me and don't agree with intensive farming of chickens and indoor egg production then it would be great to put our names together and pledge to follow through those good intentions of not buying intensively produced chickens or eggs.I will do this for a whole year... hopefully we will all continue onward once the drift back towards convenience purchasing is broken!

If I can't buy free range chicken or eggs because they are too expensive or not available I pledge not to cave in to the easy option of buying the intensively produced stuff, but to eat something else for dinner instead... Yes, even if it is very late and there's nothing much left in the 24hr Tesco!

This pledge has been catalysed by the Channel4 food programming that's going on at the moment - for more info see the links below.

  • Remember 90% of intensively farmed meat goes into PROCESSED FOODS and restaurant meals, so no KFC, ready meals, turkey burgers or chicken pie down the pub!
