Lock Down?

Someone just sent me a clip of a Chinese man (might not be Chinese, I never seen his passport) Remove a nest from a tree and started leisurely snacking on the baby chicks inside it. Just popped one in his mouth one after the other and happily chewed away on them. Its such a stark contrast to anything we'd consider normal or acceptable here in the West. 
 
Interesting point regarding pathogens. I sometimes think we deserve a real pandemic. 

You're right.
Here in the "civilised"(???) west,
we keep the majority of our chickens in cages smaller than a sheet of A4.
Never being able to move or see the sun or be outdoors.
Or just read any British cookbook from pre 20th century.

Yes you can eat badger, a very strong gamey flavour, best mixed with pork in a rillete.

Where the feck did you extrapolate that from???
I just pointed out that the actions of ONE hungry Chinese guy does not reflect on over a billion individuals.
Culturally we are all pretty hideous.

battery hen farming stopped about 10 years ago but it still goes on in Europe

The causes of the clusterfuck in Italy will be analysed and computed when this this has burned out. There are many contributing factors to the perfect storm, and seizing on this or that as the cause is pointless. COD_2016_2.png.8f76e2643796988777cb39d995892748.pngBut, that said, I have a theory...

 

The above graphic shows the relative death rate from all causes across Europe. Spain, France and Italy right at the bottom. Top heavy demographics and people just don't die. Why, who can say? Olive oil in the diet maybe? They're all from generations who smoked like chimneys, and have other issues, as elderly people do, dodgy tickers, etc. This flu just pulled the last Jenga block out of a top heavy tower.

Bullshit.
Don't fall for that mate.
They've changed the setup, but it's still fecking evil.
Oh it's "barn raised" now?
You seen them barns...
Same ones as they used for the batteries....
Bit like can't buy margarine now.
But you can buy veg/buttery spread...
They changed the name!!!!!!!!!!!
That's All.
And the public fall for it again.

Whilst I do not condone battery, or ban chickens at all its a minuscule problem compared to what happens in China. I have not bought eggs in 5 years, prior to that I only bought free-range, or local, and yes, I know free range is not amazing either, hence why I have had my own for 5 years. 

 

Read any book from pre-20th Century? There is a massive clue in the word use used there. ;)  

 

Im not sure why Id wanna eat Badger when I have perfectly good Beaver at home? :D
