People on low incomes

The government are making this quite a lot harder for people on lower incomes. When you are on incapacity benefit or JSA then paying an extra £1 for a Free Range Chicken is not easy.

I have got the answer as to what proportion of Incapacity Benefit appeals succeed (about a third). More importantly the government discourages appeals by cutting JSA for anyone that appeals. I do not think at 20% cut in JSA is warranted.

I'm not sure what you're exactly referencing, but being on a low income, even JSA, is no excuse for not being able to afford free range chicken in the first instance if they want chicken, because tbh if they're hard up enough that the £1 extra is going to break them, they shouldn't be buying chicken of any type.

Your argument, therefore, is that poorer people shouldn't eat meat.
