Jamie's fowl dinners really are fowl


Jamie Oliver, the spokesman for free range organic chickens uses battery eggs in his ready made sauces.


He is the Patron of the friggin' Battery Hen Wellfare Trust!



I guess that at the end of the day things really do come down to money.



In January this year, Jamie needed a new angle to keep up his t.v status (and wage packet), so he denounced battery chickens along with Hugh Fearnley Whittingstall and Gordon Ramsey.



Camp Jamie also needed to keep profit up on his ready made sauces, so in the battery eggs go. Good plan, shame someone noticed.



Not the First Time



This isn't the first time we've seen Jamie's conflicting views on chickens, one of his restaurant's emerged to be serving eggs from battery hens earlier in the year.



Apparently Jamie was unaware of both of there incidents, and a new recipe for his green pesto sauce (made without the help of battery hens) will be on sale from January.



But the Green Pesto sauce already in the shops will stay there, they've got to keep making a profit after all.
