I saw a trailer for this programme earlier on and was really disgusted by what I saw. I just could not believe my eyes as to what is going on.

I think it's on More4 tonight at 10pm.

For those who can't get it, you may be able to watch it on Channel 4's website afterwards.

I started to watch it, but it was a bit too upsetting for me.  Did anyone make it to the end of the programme?

They don’t join cliques — more times than not, they stand alone — but they recognize and gravitate towards one another. Only warriors understand other warriors.

Dixie the part I watched was about the pig factories in America and Eastern Europe.  The conditions the pigs are kept in and how it affects the local people and environment.  The part I found upsetting was seeing the pigs in those conditions and how they are treated....some secret camera footage that was particularly distressing.

Let's hope lots of people did watch it though and realise they should be eating British pork from a local source.

I;ll try to watch it, sadly though its people like us that watch these things and yet we've already got the message, some I know would rather stay ignorant and not want to know and yet they are the ones that NEED to know! I do try to convince people, especially a veggie who cant grasp how I can eat the animals I've bred and reared and yet she'll eat a burger outside a nightclub when drunk!! I just dont get it ::) (yes a beefburger)

Had every intention to watch, but fell asleep on the sofa  ::) Will try to watch on catch up. I did see the trailer though, and found it very difficult viewing :'(

If they showed it in schools (probably be termed child abuse) they would convert a whole generation at a stroke.
