The Lie of the Land2007

Molly Dineen - Interviewer:
It's funny: everyone's so focussed on sports, because we can see it, but no-one's that bothered about where we get our food.

Glyn:
In the poultry industry, where they specialise in chicks for laying, the male birds, apart from a very very few, are not needed. So they just go into what is basically a mincing machine - that is how they are killed - it's like a liquidiser.

Molly Dineen - Interviewer:
Are they dead or alive as they go in?

Glyn:
Well, they're alive, aren't they, as they're fed into it - it's the mincer that kills them. Now why is that acceptible, Molly? Why the devil is that acceptible to the public and these other sorts of things aren't?

Molly Dineen - Interviewer:
I think we don't know about it - that's why.

Glyn:
[vehemently] Well you *should* know about it! It might make all of this relative - it might put it in context.
