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.

Hi neighbours, in a recent Stuff opinion article Lorna Thornber reveals we have been dropped from Lonely Planet's top countries list.

However, with a record-breaking 3.7 million international visitors visiting our shores in the 12 months ending October 2017, one in five Kiwis feels the country already attracts too many tourists.

Thornber argues we don't need the likes of Lonely Planet directing more people to our shores. Or want it.

What do you think? Does New Zealand attract so many tourists that it spoils it for the rest of us?
