If You're not part of the Solution ...

Here I go with my soap box again ...
I just wondered how many people have thought about why there are so many battery farms.
They supply a market .... because so much food is supplied cheaply to the general public and trade, this is their excuse for using the very cruel from of farming.
If everyone stopped using products likely to include battery eggs then surely the market would drop and hopefully so would the problem.
Please think about this when you are next shopping .... pies are often glazed with egg, quiche is obvious, cake (my favourite) often contains non free range egg, Yorkshire Puddings, merinque, mayonnaise, salad cream ... the list really is endless.
Remember - If you're not part of the solution, you are part of the cause.

Had to stop OH buying beef and ham paste the other day. I said "it's bound to contain battery hen" - in disbelief he checked the ingredients and .... 8% chicken:mad:
I don't eat meat, milk always from a reputable organic local dairy, make cakes with my own eggs etc.
Most times, avoidance of certain foods is easy, but gelatine capsules on many medicines and animal feeds remain an issue.
I am always amazed that a number of types of sheep food proudly boast 'with fish oils' on them. So when did you last see a sheep eating fish? Needless to see my spoilt woolly friends have the vegetable derived stuff only.

Unfortunately ethically sourced, organic, Fairtrade etc. is always more expensive than the farmed, confined and fed-the-kind-of-rubbish waste that is super cheap.
As individuals we can do our utmost (As a certain supermarket would say "Every little helps"....pity they are NOT the most ethical of traders or they might come up with "Every little helps the environment")
I DO wish the Government would adopt a less spineless approach
