yeh they're ill basically, I was saying this to two mates today. They agreed and were serious, I'm getting a bit fed up about most people joking about veggies etc. If it comes up it always sparks people going on about why they eat meat and stuff when I never say 'you shouldn't eat meat!' I'm hardly miss vegetarian of the year i've only been a vegetarian for nearly 3 months lol they're only joking but it's something i believe in 'we need meat to survive' im still alive! and I'm healthier than ever!

ART STOOOODEEEENT *points*
nice good luck.
but I'm shyyyy! and cant take complicments hehe
HAHAHAHAHAHA
i'd still like it deleted please 
yeh thats true about the snake food and stuff...it's an eventuality sure but i think that the short life they lead should at least be nice, its horrible thinking that we've all eaten these chickens who lived like that.
teehee *blush*
yep me too.
The thing is who would really choose to buy something that's lived like that, obviously some people have to because of money issues but there's not much of a choice either free range or not and most people don't even know the difference.
Those male chicks could be sent to farm and bred for meat...free range mind!
I think I'm buying the book more for her work lol
MOOOMINS they are so cute although I think it freaked me out a bit when I was little, I want to buy the comic books!
I also liked pocket dragons
I want to make ooone! I use the one I made (see projects) but always feel really silly about taking it out of my bag on the bus!
I got one saying something about me being a cutie??? I don't know if it's for real...I took it as I take it when men in vans whistle and things like as a joke????
A few years ago they said they would be banning battery farming and now they've said it will definatly happen in 5 years. Waitrose will stop stocking anything that isnt free range from february but I don't know where the nearest one is. Sligtly random: in the metro a mum bought some eggs from waitrose and let her daughter but 2 in an incubator and they hatched!!!!!!!!! On websites promoting vegetarianism/veganism they seem to think its the farmers being ignorant and wanting all this money but they have to do things this way because who they supply would just turn to another farmer who could provide stock quicker.
my mum once had to buy barn eggs because she really didnt have enough money to buy free range but most of the time its free range and it's something ive known about since I was little, she used to buy quorn burgers and for ages I thought that was what a burger tasted like, she started buying meat from butchers and then i cut meat out all together, she had just bought all this proper meat and i didnt want any haha
I had to turn away a few times watching that programme because I saw a chick get its neck broken and killed at a day old on hugh fearnly whittingstall's (thanks roma ) programme and I burst into tears!
What I never thought about is how in things store bought like cakes, biscuits and mayo etc the companies are probably not using free range so I'm going to try to make a lot of things at home.
BUT ITS A PRETTY BOOK! I know french knot, chain stitch and satin stitch and obviously running and cross stitches I like having books for these things and I like her work and i like buying stuff haha.
There's been a lot of programmes this week about the treatment of chickens. I turned vegetarian about 2 months ago and do NOT preach at other people to become vegetarian. But I think it's really important for animals to be treated right even if you do eat them.
Jamie Oliver's programme and that other chef pointed out some interesting things about battery (for eggs) and barn chickens (for meat).
1. There is 3 - 4 chickens to a cage in battery farming.
2. There is 17 chickens per square metre in barn farming.
3. Male chicks are killed by a chamber which simply stops oxygen getting to them, and then they go into food like chicken nuggets and dog food.
4. Chickens for meat are killed at 5 1/2 weeks old.
5. Barn chickens see nonatural light or fresh air. If too much light gets into barn chickens they resort to cannabalism, they also loose feathers in places.
6. Battery cage chickens see no natural light or fresh airare staked above other chickens so excrement falls onto other
chickens. These are ill chickens man.
7. Farmers in Britain earn 3 PENCE per chicken.
I'd like to stress the point that this is not propaganda, I'm not trying to make you all vegetarian I just think these facts are interesting and hope that you choose to buy free range from now on if you don't already.
yes....MMMMMmmm materialism.
