Egluntyne Posted February 21, 2007 Share Posted February 21, 2007 Have you seen the trailer for a new programme coming to BBC 3 shortly...Kill It Cook It Eat It. It shows the chicken's "journey" to the serving plate in reverse. Fascinating and thought provoking. Might be a programme worth watching.

The Dogmother Posted February 22, 2007 Share Posted February 22, 2007 I've asked Phil to keep his eyes open for it and record it for me - I can't get BBC3 at home. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Louise Posted February 22, 2007 Share Posted February 22, 2007 Me either Clare I have a digi box but it won't work in my area Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Dogmother Posted February 22, 2007 Share Posted February 22, 2007 We were given one too, but the reception in this part of Banbury is pants and I get less of the terrestrial channels on the digi-box than I do without, but then we gain some digi-channels that we wouldn't get otherwise.

Helly Welly Posted February 27, 2007 Share Posted February 27, 2007 That is a stupid time to put it on though! When i mentioned it to the other Mums at school, they were horrified and definately don't want to know where their food comes from as it will put them off meat Everyone should know where their food comes from Is it any wonder places like Bernard Matthews are still in business with attitudes like that!! A 10:30pm start time is just the excuse they need not to watch it Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Louise Posted February 27, 2007 Share Posted February 27, 2007 I don't get BBC3 but it matters not I have visited slaughterhouses before and would again - I still eat meat I should qualify this I used to be married to a butcher and I was the unofficial gopher whenever something unusual was needed like scalded calves feet I usually had to go and collect it and they usually came from an obscure abbatoir Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Martin B Posted March 6, 2007 Share Posted March 6, 2007 Did anybody watch it? I thought it was so interesting. I've seen the killing process a few times and I think it is quite acceptable now. It was so funny seing all the big grown men crying. I've read Hugh's meat book which was really good, but it was good to visually see all the cuts of beef! The second episode is on tonight at 10.30pm, then there is an episode on Wednesday at 10.30pm aswell. It's a 4 part series but according to the T.V guide there is not an episode on Thursday which doesn't make sense. Eastenders is listed instead. Does anybody know when the 4th episode is screened?

buffie Posted March 6, 2007 Share Posted March 6, 2007 Have taped it, I will watch it. I still feel torn about this subject. Meat is a fact of life and the lquality of ife of the animal is what matters and a good and kind end. The chicken will be a real problem for me BBx Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Martin B Posted March 6, 2007 Share Posted March 6, 2007 The worst will be the lamb, because I've seen it before and they attatch clips and a machine winds up all the wool. I don't think the chickens will be a problem for me because I have them and know more about the industry than that of a cow or pig. In fact in due course I shall be raising birds which will eventually be processed for meat! Martin Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Snowy Posted March 6, 2007 Share Posted March 6, 2007 I watched it Martin - very enlightening! As a nurse i'm not squeamish at all, and used to live near a slaughter house, but had never seen it in quite such detail. Given me a much deeper respect for those who aim to do it well - like the chap in the programme, and a better idea of how stress to the animal can have a negative effect on the whole process. Will definitely watch teh next one. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
