Chickens

Does anyone know how many chickens McDonalds use per day?

Are they sourced from UK?

George will be along shortly - he knows all about these things. He will even tell you their names. Everyone can spread it - Anyone can catch it. Stay home - the life you save can be your own!

They take pictures of them and use them to advertise the test tube manufactured substances sold in burgers

Google search factretriever.com article in August 2016 states 30m chickens pa. of this 60% frozen from Brazil, 9% from Thailand, 30% from Holland and just 1% from GB. That suggests just 300,000 home grown chickens.

They tie uk producers down with regulations and audits. (Im currently fitting windows to all sheds. For bird happiness )

I suppose people need to taste a real chicken that’s lived outdoors, fruit and veg that isn’t spherical and shiney and wrapped in sellophane. (But most of Macca’s Chickens probably lived in the rain forest )

Also milk that hasn’t been carried in half a dozen wagons, mixed and trundled hundreds of miles so the dairy farmer can get less profit than the supermarket.

Mind you, farmers all seem to have nice shiney tractorsso they must make some money.
