Hugh loses chicken fight

I think it's quite funny that he's taken Tesco as a target, they tried to ignore him and shut him up so he bought shares so they weren't allowed to! I do like his style.
 
The guy's a complete arrogant ****!!

I come from Axminster and my parents still live there so I'm there quite a bit. He's extremely arrogant and up his own backside, has come to a small town and the general population there hate him. He's always down at the local Tesco trying to hand out leaflets and causing a nuisance before going back to his city house.

He's a city man and does NOT drive his crappy old landrover everwhere!! His onscreen personality is of a caring, country man but he's the complete opposite! Hes a fake!

NO SWEARING

TV presenter turns out to be nothing like their on screen persona irl shocker! Good job life isn't a popularity contest.

This was always going to fail, the little shareholders will always be outvoted by the big corporate shareholders who care about nothing but $$$ - they'd put people in battery farm conditions if they could.
 
Every little helps!

Thankfully Tesco won and I can continue to enjoy cheap chicken*.


* Yes I know it is bad for the chickens and in the long run their welfare needs to be looked after but that is not the job of some pretentious "celebrity" chef who earns bucket-loads to do. Jamie Oliver et all can **** off. Anyway taste tests such as the one done on Country File suggests that the cheaper ones taste better anyway.

Considering he ploughed £30,000 of his own money into it I respect him more then Jamie Oliver who got paid loads to publicise school dinners.

I'll be perfectly honest in that I'm not amazingly concerned about the welfare of animals I eat, although I've started to question it a lot more recently. The reason I buy more expensive free range food is because it tastes so much better!

Quite why you'd enjoy a £1.99 value chicken from Tesco, that has been fed on god knows what, and injected with however much water, over a free range properly fed chicken I can't imagine.

I feel that as we are at the top of the food chain we bear some responsibility towards everything else that we consume...for example, even in the 'dark ages' they knew about crop rotation...I think that todays fishermen could learn from the farmers of the past...
 
Anyone who thinks these mass produced chickens who literally live in their own excrement taste better than organic or free range chicken should be locked up in the battery shed instead.

They do not cut the feet of the battery farm chickens when they are packed and displayed on the supermarket shelf for any other reason that these chickens suffer from hock burns, the result of standing in there own urine for 39 days.

I can even tell the difference between organic / free range eggs and battery eggs, the colour of the yolk is the first give away plus they taste richer too.

I am fortunate to have a local butcher who sources all his meat locally, plus a local source of organic meat and poultry.

I think it is hard though when people cant afford it...

I think Tesco's is pretty expensive and in general food is a lot more expensive now anyways...

I for one cant afford to pay £5 or whatever for a chicken... they can go up to £8 for a chicken half the size of one you can get for around £2.50 some places...

Im not going to stand on a see through morale high ground and pay for an expensive chicken and preach about saving the world and doing your bit like you see some people do...

Because the one that costs £2.50 has been injected with water to make it look bigger and more appealing on the shelf. And when you cook it down, all you're left with is cheap, fatty, horrible tasting, poor quality meat which is actually devoid of many of the nutrients which you eat meat for, and contains more calories then it should.

Rather then the non watered, muscled meat of proper free range birds which contains everything you need from meat.
 
There is a generation now of people who rely on the mass produced processed cheap food that is available.

If people were prepared to cook more a £8 or above chicken can easy provide a roast for 4 people plus a chicken risotto, they cost of that chicken is now the same price as the battery farmed one is it not?

I agree with you.

My point is for people who cant afford it. Ill be honest, i cant afford to buy chicken :p

I agree with the welfare of production line chickens whatever you want to call it is disgraceful.. the welfare of food should be more of a concern...

But attitudes of some people that can afford it and do buy free range stinks sometimes,

The attitude stinks for people that done care at all... but for a lot of people that cant afford it but agree with free range... what do they do

I guess the problem lies with the Supermarkets pushing down prices. If they sold meat at what it realistically cost to grow properly, we'd never have seen chicken below £5.

It's not just arrogance on behalf of people who buy free range meat. The cheap stuff really does lack nutrients, and contains merely fatty, useless calories. We have a generation of obese children growing up - is it any wonder with the condition and quality of meat most of us eat?
