The thing about this whole FOE is th...... oh my goodness, Friends Of the Earth spells out "FOE", as in, like someone's enemy.
I agree with her thing about battery farming, they want to stop it, but that's purely because it tastes nicer and is better for you if they haven't been battery farm'd... animals are a crop, as far as I'm concerned, and if you don't treat a crop right, you won't get a good yeald. But then again, I can afford to eat more or less what I like, if I relied on cheap battery farm'd food as a food source, then that would really fuck me over.

And I agree that Child Slavory is wrong, but child labour isn't. The children stitching away Nike shoes are treated horrificly, but at the end of the day, their families can eat. I want to see the practice outlawed internationally, but purely because I want a fair system for the children, I want them to be feed and clothed and educated, and if stitching shoes gets them that, then all the more power to them. The people who are 'wrong' in this case are the parents who 'sale' the kids, and the people who own the factories who don't pass on huge profits, and to a lesser extent, the nike execs who allow the factories to do what they do........ but if I was in a piss-pot country at the bottom of the chain with no hope for anyone to get out of it, and if I could give my kid up in exchange for them being taught english, skills, food, shelter, education...etc, then I'd do that in a second, at least then the kid is in with a chance.

Also, I think charity starts at home, and I don't just mean the UK, I mean my friends and family come first.
I'd rather give a mate £50 and forget about it, than give a charity going to africa £25.

It starts at home - and then finishes at home almost immediately afterwards, in my case.

I too, prefer outdoor-reared and organically-fed batteries.
