People power to protect South West egg producers? MEP's campaign.
Thursday 02 February 2012
Support South West farmers - that's the message from Julie Girling. The Conservative MEP is outraged that whilst egg producers in her region have spent millions improving welfare conditions for their hens, elsewhere in Europe old-style battery cages are still in use. Under EU law they have been illegal since the beginning of this year. Julie Girling wants shoppers to ask questions about where eggs - or egg-based products like cakes - have come from. And she wants consumers to post what they find out on her “Good Egg, Bad Egg” Facebook page: http://www.facebook.com/pages/Good-Egg-Bad-Egg-Campaign/218855391535809?sk=wall
