No, don't shut up HappyMouffe. Thanks for all the information. It's just all what I thought it meant but nice to have it confirmed.

Alison, you don't have to be well off to eat good quality meat or pay the increased price to ensure animal welfare. You just decide how much you can afford to spend for meat each week / month and buy the best you can get for it. In between times there's fruit, veg, salad, pasta, pulses, beans, cheese, eggs etc and millions of great recipes. Meat is a luxury, not a necessity.

Gee whiz, that sound like a bit of a lecture. Not meant that way at all. Just have a think on it - that's all.
