I think the point is, know your meat. I only eat meat that I can meet, and do. At one glance you can typically tell the nature of a farm, and with one conversation you can judge the compassion of the farmer.

Now, I know this will never sit with the Vegans, and good-on-ya… but when it comes to the masses, they should be seeking out more of these husbandry-farms. If standards for industrialized farming actually increase, then the price of free-ranged meats will soon become comparable.

Its a shame that he keeps on pushing the fact that UK pig farms have better welfare standards (the fact that when ever the program shows UK pig farms its only out door reared – which accounts for less than 10% of UK pig farms. Infact the RSPCA’s freedom foods standards have been questioned time and time again – If you would like to see the truth behind UK pig farms visit – http://www.piggles.org.uk

i agree, despite myself I do like jamie oliver and he seems to really be heading in the right direction. i wonder if, after showing everyone how smart pigs can be, he’s going to cut down on how much bacon he eats?

+1 !
he’s a carnivore but doesnt looks the other way and raises lots of awarenes of animal cruelty by confronting these “where does your meat comes from” issues to his audience.

I’m really impressed! I know he’s a hard-core carnivore, but he’s doing a lot to help animals nonetheless.
