A major victory today.
Apart from my compulsory TfL spending, I've had a frugal day.
Only expenditure has been on dinner. Should I buy the free range Chicken fillets and cook them quickly in some breadcrumbs, or something (£5) OR the £2 for 4 Southern Fried Chicken. Well, no contest really - processed chicken it was.
Add to that the £1.50 for 2 sweetcorn and my dinner cost just £2.50. A 60% saving.
The only downside is that I couldn't help but read the label. 9% of the cheap chicken was actually water. And the meat was the 'produce of Britain and Brazil'. So let's face it, these chickens won't have had a happy life.
So, here's the ethical dilemma. Fuck chicken welfare and keep with the cuts or spend more and try and ensure an ethical treatment of the animals I eat.
I know what the government would want me to do...
