Product Description

Review

‘An important book. Hattie Ellis does not flinch from her task, which is to shine a light into the darkest corner of the global poultry shed and ask what the heck we think we are doing’ (Jan Moir, Telegraph )

‘A timely reminder of why we should splash out on free-range or organic poultry … a compelling, if gruesome read’ (Anna Shepard, The Times )

‘Required reading … the average consumer is capable of effecting change if they want to. And after reading this, you probably will’ (Metro )

'Readable, informative and scary'

(Mark McNay, Financial Times ) --This text refers to the Paperback edition.

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"

Great book 15 April 2007
Format:Hardcover
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.

Format:Paperback
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
