Very true Jan and the point being is that ultimately it will be OUR choice to source whatever we want from wherever WE decide.
I notice that Tesco already use chicken from Thailand ( just up from the Philippines ) which seems to be ok!
UK chickens vs Thai chickens
Space: UK: About 20 chickens per square metre.
Thailand: About 14 chickens per square metre
Breeds: UK: Fast-growing breeds such as Ross 308, whose bodies grow too large for their legs, causing lameness in some
Thailand: All of a genotype that would be marketed in the UK as "slower growing."
Rest: UK: Four hours continuous darkness a night
Thailand: Six hours continuous darkness a night
Standard UK chicken production, which accounts for 80 per cent of UK market. Source: RSPCA, Assured Chicken Production
