Hi neighbours,

Chicken is a popular dish for many Kiwi families. But are you happy to pay the extra cost for free-range or organic chicken? If so, why do you fork out extra for it? Although buying free-range chicken might be an ethical choice for many, it's not necessarily any healthier than other chicken.

As part of a new Stuff series, we look at why chicken is so cheap to buy nowadays, what happens inside the barn, why chickens get so big and the use of antibiotics in chicken feed. To learn more about what happens to your chicken before you put it in your shopping trolley, click the links above.

This year’s 14 awards are all tremendous examples of the Taranaki can-do attitude and highlight the practical environmentalism that’s a strong part of the regional culture.

Their achievements are awe-inspiring and worthy of celebration. We’re a region of people who walk the talk. We see what needs to be done, and we get stuck in and do it. This is the spirit that makes the region what it is.

So congratulations to our winners, and to all the others out there working hard to make Taranaki an even better place.

PLEASE stop chucking your pooch poo in my green waste wheelie!

Hez from Brooklands - Vogeltown

There is nothing remotely green, or neighbourly, about your dog's faeces in the green waste wheelie I put out weekly, yet not a week goes by that I don't discover some in the wheelie. Please, bag it, certainly, but take it home or put it in a council bin? Thank you!
