“The team at The Orthodontist are absolutely fantastic. They make you feel like you are part of their family, from the friendly receptionist right through. Bhavik is one of the most amazing people. Always so positive, always smiling, remembers all our names and makes the children feel really special. The Orthodontist practice is a cool place to visit because of the vibrant colours, incredible lego collection and posters. Thoroughly recommend this experience to anyone.”

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.

We're interested in looking at whether or not people are letting the price increase affect the way they use their car. We're hoping to hear if anyone has changed their habits and what they did to ease off the gas. Maybe people are cycling to work or maybe they're walking kids to school.
