    i havent bought a BM product for years, and then the bird flu outbreak happened on one of his farms..which seemed a bit fishy if you ask me, as there was a link to a farm abroad which had it.... and then the governement was left with all the cleam up costs, and wasnt there something he wanted compensation for it:eek:

    i allways buy my meat from the butchers, and this year we hatched our own turkey eggs, we ended up with one.... which suposed to be for our christmas dinner.....

    I was disgusted by the conditions BM kept them in, overcrowded and unhygienic - I don't know how anyone could still buy their products after seeing that, I am surprised they stayed in business.. I'd like to see all factory farming banned.
