Tescowatch (an occasional series)

From The Independent comes the story that Tesco have reduced the price of a whole chicken to £1.99.

[…]in a move that critics warned would heap financial pressure on the poultry industry and make it harder to the improve welfare of factory-farmed animals.

Wonderful.

  1. That we can buy an animal’s life for less than £2 makes me want to vomit.

    I watched the Jamie Oliver chicken thing recently, and the only thing that came as a surprise was the mere pennies that farmers are paid per chicken. And we wonder why the poor things are bred in misery. Gah.
