These guys literally changed the way we eat forever.

Don Walls, left, and Charlie Wood, lay their plans for a poultry revolution at The Grove in 1956 or early 1957.

"It was because there was limited shelf life. Therefore the butcher or game dealer found it difficult to stock because he had to sell it fairly quickly." "The significance is that it was the beginning of the changeover from growing cockerels for table birds, to growing a genetically selected bird which would give you a 4lb bird in something like seven or eight weeks. It was quite a historic period in the poultry industry."

"In the 1950s poultry was sold hanging by its legs having been bled and feathered, but not eviscerated, because once you eviscerate a bird you contaminate the carcase and the shelf life is significantly reduced.
