and dont even get me started on those tubes of meat that are sold ...:P

I love those tubes of meat, I love the smell and the look of it haha. My mum thinks I'm crazy.

UKTV Food: Recipes: Brawn (Jellied Pig's Head)

Pigs head brawn is an old recipe.
If you ever visited The Four Alls Inn at Higham and ate 'stew 'n 'ard', you got pigs head brawn on an oatcake.

they are bred to eat, we dont eat, we dont survive, simple !!!

get over it, accept it and stfu ffs

ps.
this doesnt involve household pets (give you something else to pick up on now) !!!

I think a lot depends on education, research shows that the better educated a person is the more likely they are to care about animal welfare and food quality. Basically the more knowledge you have and the more one is able to process the information the more likely you are to make a conscious decision not to exploit other creatures for your own wants.

Notice I say wants as there is no need for chicken or any other animal product. Humans can live, some would argue more healthily without any animal products.

If we had to shop ethically we would freeze and starve on the park bench because the gods of money and profit rule.

However if I get the opportunity to buy eggs and chicken from a source where the hens live as nature intended then I will do. So thanks to blazey for the Woodland/Sainsbury tip. I only hope that the Darwen branch has Woodland eggs in stock.

Just one tiny point blazey – where do you think that the clothes sold in charity shops come from? Some will undoubtedly come from source of cheap sweat shops in the third world via a normal shop and a customer. In fact by buying from a charity shop instead of a normal shop it could be argued that you are DEPRIVING foreign labourers of the opportunity to sell an item that they make.

A lot of people use the ‘charity shop’ argument to show how they are helping the charity. But if we all bought our clothes from charity shops we would not be buying them from regular stores. They in turn would have no need to replenish their stocks so the third world slave labourers would have nowhere to sell their wares, so they wouldn’t get paid and would starve. I could also argue that charity shops are taking the food out of foreign workers mouths.

sod off i got very good qualifications and couldnt give a toss about the welfare of an animal that is basically going to be my next meal and you will also find that these people walking up and down with clipboards are stuck in that job because they are not better educated and are asking people who instead of been at work are walking the streets answering dumb surveys

dumb surveys asked by dumb people answered by dumb people , if how a chicken dies is so important to you then why not buy your own and wait for it to die of natural causes

people eat cheap food because it is all they can afford but for you to make out that people who eat inferior food are somehow thicker than you is a damn insult to anyone trying to get by and do the best they can with what little they have

This is usually the argument of someone who has, to use the current buzz word, quantity issues. But there again, it was Yoda who said "Size matters not."

I would like to see someone who had eaten nothing but non animal products for the whole of their 70 years of life – if they got that far.

The human being was built as an omnivore. Meaning that we eat meat, fruit and veg. You only need to look at a human’s natural teeth to see that. Crushers at the back and slicers at the front. No veg grinders although the crushers can double as grinders up to a point. And we masticate up and down not side to side like a cow or other ruminants do. Nor do we regurgitate partially chewed food to chew some more.

Even Pandas whose diet consists of just bamboo shoots will eat meat if it is offered.
