I think the ad is not directed at non-chicken eaters. If you listen to the way that she says ‘If you don’t like chicken there is something seriously wrong with you’, her tone and mood isnt exactly serious. It’s called a joke.

The ideas for chicken smell spray and water cooler conversations are obviously ridiculious but funny. They are not serious ideas and I think people should not be taking these ads so seriously.

I think they are hilarious.

If they really cared about the treatment of chickens, would they make a video such as this? I don’t think so. I refuse to eat any meat, let alone dairy. So really, sending up people like myself because we chose not to feed our selves piles of diseases and harmless animals, isn’t really fair let alone responsible for a company as big as this is it?

They are funny ads, but they do push it a bit far that ‘if you don’t like chicken, there is something seriously wrong with you’. More and more people are going veg, and there is absolutely nothing wrong with them, in fact, people who do support this sickly company are quite naive, coz inghams is a very bad offender when it comes to the treatment of its animals. I still eat chicken, as humans are intended to, but i only eat it if i know the chicken had a reasonably good life. Ps, im only 14.

Hi I would like to say that it doesnt matter if you eat chickens or not….its about how we treat another life with respect…as it has been proven all our DNA is related….so what we accept either as an individual or as a society in treating animals disrespectfully and with cruelty is really saying how we can be treated also….chickens and all animals including fish have feelings…sorry Nathan…they have a nervous system which have receptors for pain…like us….free range anything including people are happier and healthier…it is our responsibility to look after each other…. we can eat what we choose just that some people (including the 14 non chicken eaters) are more aware of inhumane acts of unnecessary suffering.
Everyone have a happy and healthy New Year because you can.

I’m sure Ingams and all of us chicken eaters are really not worried about the 0.001% (or 14) of Australians who don’t like chicken.

The ads are there to tell us Ingams is a fun, hip, quality brand.

And by the way if you request the flat pack boxes, Ingahms do send them out for free. Win-win!

Does anyone know the name of the actress in the Ingham Chicken ad -- “If you don’t like chicken there is something very wrong with you.” ?

Further to my last comment: I don’t believe that these ads are pitched at vegetarians- nobody is trying to force you to eat chicken. Nobody even really cares if you do.

I must say I find it hypocritical of the vegetarians in this forum to be up in arms about this supposed attempt by meat eaters to pitch chicken eating at them, given the fact that vegetarians (not meat eaters) take to the streets to tell others that their lifestyles are wrong.

Why on earth do people have to overreact and take umbridge at the smallest things? These ads aren’t meant to poke fun at people who don’t eat chicken; they’re intended to give us a laugh! What has happened to the renowned Australian sense of humour?
