Woolworths and Battery Chickens
Since reading the article yesterday about Woolworths using eggs from battery chickens in their cooking, I’ve not been able to get the image of those poor chickens out of my mind.
Although it angers me that Woolworths are admitting to their use of the eggs, it is even more upsetting that the mainstream media are strangely silent on the matter.
No hysterical e-tv coverage like they went on about swine flu, or heat magazine the way they went about Joostgate or the rest of the media the way they carry on about Julius Malema.
By no means am I vegetarian.
Nor do I intend becoming vegetarian anyday soon, but I do care that the food I eat comes from sources that have integrity.
I want to be able to choose whether to pay more or stay without.
As a consumer I want to know when the chicken, red meat, eggs, milk, cheese, etc. comes from a battery farm.
At least I’ll be a lot more aware in the future of what I put into my supermarket trolley.
