I think Supermarkets should have 3 categories (A-B-C) of certain produce such as apples, potatoes, oranges, etc. ;price them accordingly and let the consumer decide what’s best for their wallet. This is a win-win method that will help Farmers, reduce waste, and consequently World Hunger! “Waste not; want not!”

wow.. I will think again about eating meats, and likely change my habits further. I’ve already stopped eating pork about a month ago.

It all boils down to us as the customer we are the one with the voice yet we just carry on like lemmings filling the fat cats pockets then moaning about it later..

This documentary also answers the question as to why Asians buyer their raw food from the traditional market and not supermarkets.

In the country I live in, I can tell you an interesting fact. A business friend of mine had the bright idea to purchase chicken droppings from a major chicken producer for use in the production of “organic” fertilizer. They tested it in on fields and nothing grew. Why? Because it was loaded in antibiotics which apparently meant that natural bacteria in the soil was killed. #FAIL.

The reality is that supermarkets put so much pressure on suppliers to get the price down and the delivery schedules upheld that suppliers area almost forced to bend or break rules in order to compete. They will deny this but I have been in the food business for quite a few years and I know what it is like to sell to supermarkets.

i just wish we could take the snobby ‘foodie’ out of the desire for nutritious, good food. after seeing that chef twice i had to turn the docu off – i’ve seen other docus about food quality and animal care that are much better than this one.

If you take the world population as a factor then overall consumption must increase at the same rate as the population, but looking at the numbers:

Year 1970 2004
UK population 55,663,000 59,990,000
consumption of chicken/year 200,000,000 850,000,000
Consumption/person/year 3.59 14.17
Consumption/person/month 0.3 1.16

so as you can see consumption has increased more than the population growth

Understand world population has increased. This is not about more production. Is how it is produced, to fill are consumption. Scally

World Population in 1970, 3.7 billion. World Population in 2004, 6.4 billion. Might explain the increase in chicken consumption? Oh woops there goes that pesky logic again, always getting in the way!
