Hi neighbours,

Chicken is a popular dish for many Kiwi families. But are you happy to pay the extra cost for free-range or organic chicken? If so, why do you fork out extra for it? Although buying free-range chicken might be an ethical choice for many, it's not necessarily any healthier than other chicken.

As part of a new Stuff series, we look at why chicken is so cheap to buy nowadays, what happens inside the barn, why chickens get so big and the use of antibiotics in chicken feed. To learn more about what happens to your chicken before you put it in your shopping trolley, click the links above.

7 day a week childcare

Dianne from Hamilton East

I have no idea whether other regions have 7day a week centres but regardless, to me this is absolutely unnecessary. Surely it will encourage parents to leave their children at the centre longer, instead of the parent/caregiver having to make adjustments to make sure they are home for their children. Longer hours, more days, where will it end? At the forefront of this is NOT the wellbeing of the children, nor their intrinsic rights as a child; it is about greed pure and simple. The Early child Industry is an extremely lucrative industry and much of the profit is NOT channelled back into ensuring that ratios are reduced, resources are continually changing and increasing in number, nor does it ensure that children at these centres are continually exposed to exciting and stimulating visits to places of interest. As always, the emphasis is NOT on the reason for the centres existing in the first place, The Child.
