Just Watched tonoght’s episode of Hugh’s Chicken Run. Hugh Fearnley-Whittingstall is an English celebrity chef and Chicken Run shows the difference between how standard and free range birds are raised. After watching this program, I am never, ever, ever EVER buying a regular chicken. Free range all the way now on. If you make the decision to be a carnivore, you have the responsibility to not eat animals that were tortured to your fork.

Yep, it’s mainly why I’m transitioning to vegan (would be vegetarian bc I ADORE cheese and ice cream but turns out I’m allergic to both eggs AND dairy..hmmph.)
Happy 2008 to you!
happy 2008 Lola!
I wish I could do the veggie thing. I love vegetables. Love soy. I also adore steak. . .
Jen- do you shop anywhere special for meat?
no, i don’t shop anywhere in particular, just the regular grocery store. but because free range is not cheap, we basically don’t buy a lot of meat now anyway - which is probably healthier. so if i want a steak, i just have to think about whether i want it enough to pay £5 for it!
Any donated funds are not tax deductable and will most likely be used to purchase something that is very bad for her.

Not that I think that anyone would be silly enough to steal my ramblings, but in case you may be thinking about it. . . the very act of my writing this means that I own the copyright. Really. Look it up.
So, please don't plagiarize. It just ain't cool. And what I say just isn't that interesting. Trust me. Most of my friends don't even read this.
That being said, I do subscribe to the T.S. Eliot philosophy of "Immature poets borrow, mature poets steal." There is a difference between Stealing and stealing. . . This is not to say that I am mature. If anything. . . I'm rambling aren't I? That's what I do. I ramble. So, yeah. I'll shut up now.

this is why we haven’t bought any meat that wasn’t free range in the past two years.
i have no problem with humans being at the top of the food chain, but i don’t think that entitles us to subject animals to lives of incomprehensible misery.
