Jamie and Hugh “to live like broiler chickens”
Jamie Oliver and Hugh Fearnley-Whittingstall are to follow-up their free-range chicken campaign with a more radical approach to changing the nation’s patterns of consumption.

Anyone who saw either Hugh Fearnley-Whittingstall or Jamie Oliver’s programmes about chicken over the last week or so is unlikely to have been unmoved.
