Jamie Oliver made a television
programme on the appalling
conditions in which many of the
birds live and hopes to encourage
supermarkets to invest in bettertreated birds such as free range or
organic.
The hope was to draw attention to
the suffering of the birds and the
poor quality of the meat.
In some supermarkets, entire chickens can be bought for as little as £2.50, while
recent figures from the RSPCA showed that only five per cent of the birds in
Britain were kept in high welfare conditions.
