Chef fights Tesco over chicken welfare standards

Celebrity chef Hugh Fearnley-Whittingstall plans to force Tesco to change its policy of selling chicken meat reared in intensive units, by tabling a resolution at the supermarket’s shareholder AGM. Excellent. But according to a BBC report, Tesco says the chef must pay £86,000 distribution costs for sending out the resolution to shareholders. So now he’s trying to raise the money to do that, having already put in £30,000 of his own money. Visit chickenout.tv to learn more. There’s also a great charity called Compassion in World Farming where you can contribute to improving living conditions for farm animals.
