I am just watching the BBC programme Countryfile as I do every week and am speechless ( I know it's hard to believe) on the article on 'Zero Grazing'. I had no idea that cows are being kept inside all the time, never ever walking on the grass or laying down in a field.
It is important that I always buy free range eggs and I don't eat meat I am a vegetarian but not vegan and I do however like milk, cheese, cream etc. I do not want this to come from a cow who has been kept inside all it's life and the furthest it has walked is a few yards from its stall to a milking machine. Can I tell when I buy these products from the supermarket I wonder?
I hope Jamie Oliver, Hugh Fearnley Wittenstall or some other crusader will start up a campaign.

I'm also a vegetarian, and have known about this for a long time, it makes me so sad, but I dont think things will change. I did try going vegan for a while, but could not hack it. Hopefully free range milk, butter, cream, cheese ect... will become widely available before long, just like eggs have. xxxxx
