Guest Posted January 16, 2008 Share Posted January 16, 2008 it's all over the press but here's a link to one of the stories. Seems very convenient to me that a battery egg farmer should have been eating in there and demanded to see the eggs, smacks of a 'set up' to discredit Jamie but then again the staff should have been much more careful... http://www.mirror.co.uk/news/topstories/2008/01/16/jamie-oliver-s-battery-egg-shock-89520-20287573/ Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bronze Posted January 16, 2008 Share Posted January 16, 2008 Do you know what gets me cross. How can then throwing them away make it better! They have been laid, thoses hens have been in that position don't then go and waste them at least give them to someone who would use them.

chickencam Posted January 16, 2008 Share Posted January 16, 2008 This definately smells like Jamie was set up, but the eggs should not have been thrown away, what a waste, it makes the lives of the chickens who laid them even more pointless. I was really upset when I dropped an egg from one of my girls into the sink yeaterday, forunately it didn't break the membrane therefore I have been able to use it to make pastry for an egg custard. I would hate to waste the hard work that my girls do for me. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Posted January 16, 2008 Share Posted January 16, 2008 (edited) My partner came home yesterday saying that a colleague is now only going to buy free range eggs after seeing the Jamie Oliver show. Free range and battery eggs have been around for a long time... Don't get me wrong, that is a very positive step and publicity about battery hens is a good thing by spreading awareness. But why are people like sheep? "Jamie Oliver says not to buy eggs from battery hens" - so he must be right! People should be making an informed decision based on facts, not being brain washed by celebrities that only care about making money and their reputation!

Sheilaz Posted January 16, 2008 Share Posted January 16, 2008 ....By why are people like sheep? "Jamie Oliver says not to buy battery hens" - so he must be right! People should be making an informed decision based on facts, not brain washed by celebrities that only care about making money and their reputation, not animal welfare. I thought the programme itself was very good, never mind who was presenting it. Although I know what you mean about blindly following "celebrities", but in this case the programme was presenting people with facts that they might not have considered before.

Guest Posted January 16, 2008 Share Posted January 16, 2008 We didn't see the show because we don't have a TV... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
