Something just doesn't stack up....

Now lacks Omega 3 and is being linked to a contributing factor in dementia and other conditions. The birds don't build enough muscle to contain good amounts of Omega 3 anymore. Watched a documentary on it a few years back was shocking.

It's grim. The whole meat industry is fucked.

I read the title as Fresh Prince and was expecting that shit tv show.
A bit of poultry is a nice surprise.

Cant honestly say I've seen a decline in quality........ price and size however, now we're talking.

So M&S have two varieties of chicken, Hubbard and standard!
It would make sense for a company such as M&S to market a quality range and an "everyday"

They use the Hubbard for the Gold range but they also sell organic and free range etc etc.

“M&S was already leading the way with its Oakham production system,” says Christine Jackson from 2 Sisters Food Group. “But Oakham Gold builds on this and takes it even further. By being the first major retailer to sign up to the Better Chicken Commitment, M&S made the decision to move its whole fresh offering over to a Hubbard slower growing breed and create a production system which centers on animal welfare. Using this slower growing breed, which is fed a multi-grain diet designed to support natural growth and muscle development, has resulted in further improved health and welfare measures"

As a matter of interest 2 sisters food group is the one that supplies almost all of the mainstream supermarkets out there. Two Sisters Food Group is a subsidiary of Boparan Holdings, a privately owned food manufacturing company with head offices in Birmingham that focuses on private label manufacturing for retailer and food service markets.

I am not entirely sure but am led to believe that Tesco now predominantly use Avari instead of the two sisters group.

I know one thing mate and that is we will not be eating that fibrous woody offering above, even if they did let us keep it refunding in full. Big well done BTW for that Aldi and fair to say that the daughters Akita and two Pugs salute your indefatigability! Not an ounce was wasted.

Lurpak butter has been a lot less than 500g for a while so I have been buying butter from Costco for a while now.

I would never buy Meat from a Supermarket ever -save perhaps Bacon. There’s all sorts of ex Supermarket Employees warning against buying Meat from them on You Tube etc.

Hilary says Hi!

Fresh veg is pretty abysmal wherever you buy it really and most of it is tasteless. When I was younger a savoy cabbage was the size of your head, so was a cauli. Now they’re the size of a swede. Also, it gets my goat that they cut the leaves off a cabbage before you buy it.

I've told the Mrs to stop ordering certain things as they are arriving off from sainsburys. Mushrooms, onions and carrots. All sweaty and rotten. Shite
