Chicken Out
One of the things I feel most passionately about is the quality of the raw ingredients I cook with.
I believe that Hugh Fearnley-Whittingstall's Chicken Out campaign highlights the problem fantastically and hopefully has shown a great many shoppers why they should spend a little more when buying chicken and eggs.
The conditions in which some hens were being raised was shocking, but it is easy to see why the farmers are pushed to produce in this way, if they are constantly being pressurised into reducing prices.
If we all are prepared to change our buying habits, and choose our meat and eggs based on quality rather than cost, the farmer's incentives change and the lives of millions of hens will change too!
Of course as a result, we have tastier healthier chicken and eggs to eat and who doesn't want that?
