i went to Sainsburys yesterday (tescos is such a long walk) and they had an organic chicken on "special" reduction from £9 to £7. how can people afford such things :S and what do they do with all those organic chickens when they go off because no-one's buying them?

In my local sainsburys they are for ever selling off cheap the following from the organic ranges:

Milk
Mince
Bananas

As no one seems to be buying them. And then sometimes they are a bit mean with the old marking down as well.

organic chicken at £7,

IMHO - chicken used to be a luxury, but nowadays with intensive farming people eat cheap chicken all the time.

these cheap chickens are 40,000 to a barn pumped full of chemicals and drugs grown to full weight in 42 days, many are injured and die slowly in their own urine & excrement.

I believe any meat eater should see how the animals are reared and slaughtered before they save a few pounds.

Its up to you what you put in your body but dont feed it to your kids,

sorry to bang on, but we all like watching jamie oliver and agree on school meals should be healthy but many still feed their kids crap at home

With the greatest of respect to the above poster , surely it is up to us as parents to make a concious decision as to what we do or do not feed our children . I get very cross when people use emotions to get a point across about chicken rearing . Not ALL chickens are reared in the above manner and as a daughter of a farmer I resent the way generalisations are made . Chicken nuggets , turkey swizzlers absolutely agree , that they are not for my kids , but a nice piece of roast chicken and veggy is a good source of the nutrients my kids need . So end the sermon x

The fact remains that chickens other than Organic and Free Range ( a little less) are pumped full of chemicals and antibiotics. Many are reared so fat that their legs break and they end up sitting in their own excrement. The family and I will take a chance with the nice £7 organic one we have for tonights dinner.
ps I have not got more money than sense!!!

I can understand people who can't afford to buy properly reared meat buying such crap. After watching that BBC program a year ago on how these birds are reared and what gloop was pumped into cheapo chicken joints I crossed cheap chicken off my shopping list.
Personally I buy chicken from a butcher whose chickens are marked from a local proper free range humane farm, and sometimes I see him cutting the breasts and legs from these same birds. All the fat and gristle is removed. Breasts cost £9.99 Kg, but its reassuring to know I am not buying rubbish.
