  11. OVERTON, UNITED KINGDOM - NOVEMBER 30: Martin McCallan, a farmer at Laverstoke Park Farm, feeds the farm's organic Norfolk Black turkeys, before preparing the birds for the Christmas table on November 30 2009 in Overton, England. On Wednesday the turkeys - that have been fed on a natural diet including over 30 grasses, herbs and clovers which the farm's fields are sown with - will be collected by a processor to be prepared for Christmas Day. Although the farm's order book for the turkeys - which currently command nearly 14GBP a kilo and will all be delivered from December 22 - is full, supermarket chains are gearing up for a price war to attract cash-strapped British consumers this Christmas.
