Fwd: Food

Just on a fabulous train ride into london. Already late as usual. One point to note really today... Food production!
When on earth did we get to the stage when chickens are sucked up and blown out of a tube! These are live chickens... Not yet dead.
I know that we as the human race are growing, that we all need to eat, but how much suffering do others need to feel?

This has of course all stemmed from a television programme, as is so often the case in our modern lives. In fact it was possibly one of the best documentaries on for a while, no commentry. At all. No stupid sensationalist idiot banging on about this and that, just your thoughts and opinions and the images of, well mostly, suffering.

Now don't get me wrong, i am not planning to become vegetarian, but i wish i knew a lot more about the exact condition that animals were in before i ate them. And not just at the supermarket, but at fast food outlets, restaurants, even to milk in coffee. If we knew more i am sure more people will make ethical choices, and no I don't mean becoming vegetarian, just choosing ethically produced meat.

Now i had better get off to my direct marketing conference, where no doubt i will have the chance to collect more data about more people than ever before and use it to your benefit of course.
