Article in the Daily Mail - I don't understand why Hugh's winning chicken is in smaller print

Mmm, I wondered why Hughs bit was smaller too

 

Shame that the supermarkets don't do a taste test thing outside the store and let the customers taste for themselves that happy chickens are tasty chickens.

I think the reason that Hugh's review is smaller is that each panel is an image, probably from a piece of artwork that was originally designed for print (from the Mail on Sunday magazine, perhaps?). There's a telltale pink blob at the bottom of Hugh's review which is part of another image on the original print page!

 

I'm guessing that Hugh's was originally the largest panel but has been shrunk to the same width as the others to fit the format of the web page. Big newspapers handle so many stories, they have to cut a few corners to get everything onto the web in a timely fashion. At least they repeated the main text of the winning review, so it was easy to read

 

And interesting to note that the non-organic free-range chicken wasn't that great. I usually buy organic when it's available (or not in overlarge packs - the breast portions are often huge!), or free-range if not.

I've read my parents copy of the DM today- Hugh's chicken was on the right-hand side, while all the others were in a column going down on the left hand side.
