Product Description

Review
"* 'Richly informative and beautifully written' - The Times * 'Entertaining and thoroughly worthwhile' - John Carey, The Sunday Times * 'A charming insight into the sweetness and dark side of the honeybee... the history of an international creature that provides a neat reflection of humanity' - Observer * 'Like the densely packed honeycomb of the hive, her book is jam-packed with information, ideas, stories and questions... fascinating' - Independent * 'Entrancing anecdotes, accurate details and meticulous research' - Publishers Weekly"

Product Description
PLANET CHICKENis an eye-opening book about the bird we eat and mistreat the most. Hattie Ellis traces the chickens evolution and history in farming, and reveals the grotesque scandal of the modern chicken industry, and its effect on our health. But she also talks to chicken lovers around the world, from West Indian jerk-chicken stall holders to Provenal chefs, and to the pioneers who are bringing real chickens back to our tables. This will be a shocking and informative read, but also an inspiring one.

Very interesting on the treatment of live chickens, and the info on the US. Important issues set out well. Great read. Hope some decision makers are reading this because they need to.

3.0 out of 5 stars Not exactly what I was expecting, 8 Mar 2008
By B. Spano "Beth8nne" (Manchester, UK) - See all my reviews
(REAL NAME)   
This book is packed full of information about chickens and their history and journey through to the factory farm. However, as a vegan I was hoping that there would be a better outcome than to simply "go free range!" In fact I found the chapter in which the author talks about extracting the legs and how to cook the chicken quite disturbing! Im sure they'd be much happier if we refrained from eating them altogether
