[QUOTE="wbvs58, post: 1810646, member: 16453"] I think it is a bit of a balance between intensive farming and agriculture and being able to feed the world population. Affluent societies may like to pick up their meat from the supermarkets with all these feel good names to the brands and pay that bit more for the product but on the other hand struggling nations are struggling to feed their population. In times like now with household budgets stressed with high inflation and rising interest rates people have no scrupples in flocking to the cheap intensively produced meats of chicken and pig and no questions asked. I only shop for myself once a week but the opinion I have formed of Aldi is that they are the masters of deception with their packaging. Chicken comes from a particularly named farm as does beef and all produce have a farm name plastered on it. They try to give you the impression that it is a family farm with people going around with a bucket throwing feed out to the chooks, farmer Brown feeding square bales to his cows. All this to create a sense of provinence for their product where in actual fact they buy it from wherever they can get it at the cheapest price. Ken [/QUOTE]
