Im skint but managed to give a little to this i read on Hughs site that if everyone gave just 40p   (unfortunatly the minimum is £2) :oops: he would make the total needed! As a bonus any extra raised goes to CIWF.
thanks for highlighting this on here.

Very much like ourselves nettynoodles. OH thought we should give what we can rather than just expect someone else to carry the burden for us and it may well support a good cause as an alternative.
Good for you.

A very good point Fifitrix.

And one which we all struggle with. It can only be your choice. But the point is to think it through and decide what you want. That way everyone wins.
There's a lot of fear about that someone might make a bit of money on the back of all this fundraising through extra publicity, etc. But no-one else seems to be offering an alternative. HFW has a vested interest but he's small-fry and will never reap the rewards that large scale farmers or the supermarkets will. He's given a lot of his own money to the cause which will probably take him a while to make back. So he's obviously not in it for the money.
But if nothing is done anywhere, nothing improves, and all we do is moan about the state of this and the price of that. At least by supporting a cause, we make a statement.

I hope the people who are putting Hugh down are giving their money, or at least their support, to some other cause, as you are doing.

Indeed.  And I'm not really having a go I just thought I'd open up the debate wider.  

I admire Hugh FW and all he's doing.  Like or Lothe Jamie he's certainly forced my kids school to make the menu more healthy.  And Hugh FW is raising massive awareness on where our food comes from and how it's treated.  I take my proverbial hat off to him.

(although I will stick with the £50 to Mwena!   )

On a more serious note, my chooks love HFW
