I think the comments on Rayner's flawed article are very interesting, but as you say we have to regard the welfare and local issues as most important. I happen to think it tastes better too, but that is beside the point. Keep banging the welfare drum. I would mention the soya bean (to feed cattle) and deforestation, but it all makes my head explode. Aha, rapid response, and I know its not all aimed at me.

Yes, the non-free range eggs in every day items is quite frightening... The pinging is annoying, I agree, but for a very good cause :-) It wasn’t you that comment was aimed at, actually, as I know you are very right on about your meat.

And I am a little surprised at how few people have signed up, 88,095 as I write this, so perhaps we can't be bothered, or maybe, more likely, he is talking to the converted. But Jay Rayner in Sunday's Observer had some interesting points. http://www.guardian.co.uk/commentisfree/story/0,,2239989,00.html But perhaps what really matters are the missed meal ingredients, the soups with chicken stock, cakes with eggs and other much more obscure products. M&S seem to be taking a good approach, they banned all except Fair Trade coffee and tea in their cafes, but I am not sure how they are getting on with Fair Trade cotton products. It is difficult to know how far one can go. I guess the most important part of the campaign is allotment which as well as its chicken run also has a vegetable patch which will be a more effective improvement to the estate diet that anything that comes out of the chicken process. But we are talking animal welfare rather than nutrition so… Ah well I am going round and round. Suffice to say its always good to think these things through, and if you can afford to, do it. But can we afford not too? Yes, I made that comment about the noise, it makes iTunes and reading RR at the same time impossible.
