The ONLY way to stop inhumane practices is to find out where your meat/eggs come from (including EATING OUT), IF THEY ARE NOT FREE RANGE THEN DON'T PURCHASE.If enough people do this suppliers would have NO CHOICE but to switch to free range produce. They will want to stay in business and if you won’t buy anything but free range then you direct the market.I'm sure you wouldn't keep your cat/dog in inhumane conditions, I beg you please care enough about the animals you eat to consider their welfare. And please don't dismiss this by saying the animals don't know what they are missing out on... if they are bred in cages they don't know any better. IT IS NOT TRUE, every instinct in their bodies wants to carry out its natural behaviour. Imagine what you would feel like locked up in a small room like your toilet for your life span. Please do your own research and find out for yourself how animals are treated.PLEASE DON'T PUT THIS IN THE TOO HARD BASKET, YOU CAN MAKE A DIFFERENCE, YOU DO HAVE A CHOICE.
20% extra cost is nothing when you know you are getting healthier food. It's time the entire farming industry woke up in New Zealand. The people have been poisoned for long enough. Also internationally organic or healthy farming techniques provide a much higher price for produce. Last time I was in England you had to get to the Supermarket before 11am otherwise all the organic produce would be sold out!! You can't trust the New Zealand Government Departments to ensure healthy food, it is up to the Consumers of New Zealand to demand it and stop buying the junk with all the additives etc. Most of what is sold in the Supermarkets cannot really be classed as food, most of the packets just contain manufactured rubbish and in the main are unhealthy additions to the diet.
