Makes you think doesn't it?
Normally, I wouldn't give a monkies about where my chicken came from or how it was raised, but, looking at the way that they're raised, it really does make me feel a little sick...
Part one showed the state of what the floor was like for the indoor-raised chickens, it was basically an ammonia-soaked carpet (ammonia from the chicken's fecaes, stick your nose into a week-old cat litter to see what that smells like) which was burning the feet & legs of the chickens that were too fat to move, so you're essentially eating 5h1t covered animals.
The Free-range ones were much better, they ran about, like they should, they had access to outdoors, like they should, they scratched about for worms & other little things, like they should, and they turned out to be much healthier and fitter than the other lot.
Either way, they were slaughtered in the same factory, but at least the free-rangers looked better and cleaner to me...
Personally, 2 for £5 is not an option now, I'd prefer to have a chicken that hasn't been wallowing in it's own number 2 and crammed together with hundreds, if not thousands of others in one shed...
