I know that they cost more, but surely it is worth the extra to know the bird has had a better standard of living.

how can anyone resist bacon?

I got all snooty about Danish but then watched a prog on Denmark coastline and educated myself on the fact Danish pigs have a lovely time of it rooting about in acres of sandy land.

Bring home the bacon!

What do winners get anyway?

Congratulations, you have been insensitive and insulting to people struggling to feed their families and with medical problems.

But that's okay! Because now they know battery-eggs are evil. (even though they're still going to buy them AND battery eggs are less cruel than free range...)

Have a ribbon.

East Anglian meat is pretty good imho, I have held my nose going past pig farm many a times. (it's pretty cute, they have their own little sty per family and then a huge field to root around in)

Expat I feel sorry for you, I would hate to have no empathy for another living creature being treated so horrendously. How can you make fun of something so horrific? Have you seen the footage out there for all who care to do some research? I am sure you must not have done, for anyone with a soul and an ounce of empathy and intelligence could surely not raise a smile, never mind a laugh, after knowing the truth.

scottishmummy · 08/04/2011 23:44

oh ease up on psychiatric hyperbole,shes meat eater not sociopath. thanks Dr Crane

expatinscotland · 08/04/2011 23:44

Did you vegans exchange your sense of humour for your new religion?

People on here are now taking the piss.

Get a clue!

LaWeasel · 08/04/2011 23:45

Don't quote me on this, but I'm fairly sure expat is a vegetarian.

She just found some of the comments on here just as insulting as the meat eaters did.

expatinscotland · 08/04/2011 23:45

Meat is murder, SM! You are right up there with Hitler for eating it (but doesn't it taste nice)?

JarethTheGoblinKing · 08/04/2011 23:45

I thought it had already been established that i'd won the thread

SparklyCloud · 08/04/2011 23:46

Thingumy are you joking? Danish bacon not cruel?? the pigs there are farmed in conditions that are banned in this country, and we are bad enough..does that give you an idea?

expatinscotland · 08/04/2011 23:46

I gave up meat for Lent, LaWeasel. Wink

scottishmummy · 08/04/2011 23:47

expatinscotland · 08/04/2011 23:47

SparklyCloud · 08/04/2011 23:48

I do not give a shit who is what, but animal cruelty is a serius matter.

scottishmummy · 08/04/2011 23:48

usualsuspect · 08/04/2011 23:49

A bacon sandwich is the best thing ever

leave expat alone ..we are going on a road trip to Grassington ..just me, expat and a bag of ham sandwiches

SparklyCloud · 08/04/2011 23:49

Why do you have to describe it as sentimental preaching? Why can't it be what it is - telling the truth?

expatinscotland · 08/04/2011 23:50

Don't forget the fags and hash, usual :o.

LaWeasel · 08/04/2011 23:52

I knew you said you weren't eating meat! my mis.

I am born and raised as part of a farming nation and I'm sorry but yes, I can sit there and watch those videos and not get really upset.

scottishmummy · 08/04/2011 23:53
