Judge for yourself
I - as the people who make decisions come face-to-face with the people those decisions affect. First the arguments, then your chance to join the debate. It Shouldn't Happen To a Pig
Britain's public health enemy number one is salmonella. It's a source of disease that lurks in most of the meat that we eat, and it's on the increase, because of the way our farming industry is run.
Diseases spread quickly amongst pigs and chickens in factory farms unless huge quantities of drugs are used to keep them at bay. And those diseases increasingly spill over into the human population. So is it time to call a halt? Is it time to choose between cheap meat and safe meat?
