2 weeks of programmes looking at the food we eat and various issues surrounding it.

Personally I find Channel 4's food programmes to be really interesting and I think people need to know what they're actually eating. Don't think some of the programmes will be easy viewing, chicken farming, egg production......might make people think about where their food comes from.

Also BBC3 every night, Kill it, Cook it, Eat it!

Also BBC3 every night, Kill it, Cook it, Eat i loved this programe last time it was on i will also watch the programes on channel 4 as gordon ramsey is on them

Just has a quick glance at the web site and it looks really interesting and worth a watch. :D

What annoys me, is when people avoid watching these programmes because they don't want to know where their food comes from. I watched Kill It, Cook It, Eat it, and I eat meat, but nothing I saw shocked me because I knew where meat came from before!

I always buy free range eggs too. When I worked for Sainsbury's, I used to look at people who bought 'value' eggs with disgust!

Definately looking forward to these programmes :)

It is interesting, I for one will be watching some of it; I enjoyed kill it, cook it, eat it, but I wasn't shocked by one part of it. I chose not to eat meet based on what I had seen with intensive farming and hte abbatoir I lived near to in Liverpool. All became too much.

I have fed birds, looked after them, seen them killed and plucked and gone on to eat them in, but that was in a past life.

I am sure if I was able to guarantee the source of meat I would go back to eating it. As this isn't really possible as a city dweller, I will stick to going without. 20 years now and not missing it.

Hugh made me not really want to eat chicken after watching that! Think I'd much rather have well cared for chicken, half as often as support the way those animals have to live! I knew what happened, but think I'd just not really thought about it before!

I wish I had seen it. I have seen a few programmes on chicken farming, both in the UK and Thailand. I also saw a programme about a dodgy Rotherham firm bleaching out of date chicken and cutting off the rot; this was then sold to restaurants in the area. Vile.

Chicken has to be one of the worst types of meat available, yet the most widely eaten.

I hope I can pick some of these up on more4 or e4.

Sure it's repeated pippadoll! Truly disgusting the way chicken is 'produced'. Jamie Oliver is doing one about egg production on Friday which looks very interesting! Some people don't like these programmes, but I think it's great that Channel 4 are highlighting these issues. A lot of the time, people don't know, or don't want to know, where their food comes from. At least by watching these programmes, you can decide whether you feel happy eating particular foods and having watched this, I can say I'm not happy eating that kind of chicken! There was one bit of the programme that really kind of hit home for me, you'll know it when you see it :)

I have to say i'll be far more selective when buying chicken now. One things for sure its strengthened my resolve never to buy meat from a supermarket

I was going to go along to the veal kill it cook it eat it but then chickened out! still going to watch it though
