Ah, I see. You need to do research here, man. There’s a specific situation you’re not aware of.
These roast chooks are cheaper than fresh raw ones because they make them from fresh ones that are about to pass their use-by date. So, even though it seems like it makes no sense, it is actually true that a cooked chicken from the deli costs less than one you have to cook yourself.
They are like $5 near me. A regular chicken costs about what you said. But these are loss leaders to drive people in the door. A rotisserie chicken lasts me about 6 meals so its insanely cheap.
Yeah… American prices haven’t caught up with the rest of the world yet. As much as Trump has done to destroy your economy you’re still not paying anywhere near the price of things elsewhere. Going to take more loss of power for the US dollar for things to align.
But, I’ll bet that’s still cheaper than a whole chicken, raw… Right?
Yeah they’re cheaper than raw chickens. The store tends to buy too much chicken and some expires and would have to be thrown out… Or they can roast it right away. It’s kind of a famous economic parable at this point.
Also, it sounds like Trump is just destroying our economy less than your guys are lmao.
In what universe is rotisserie chicken expensive? Like, unless you exclusively eat grains, potatoes, carrots and beans, there’s essentially nothing cheaper, chicken is by far the cheapest animal protein in most of the world.
Ok, so then say “eating chicken is immoral”, not “eating chicken is expensive” if you’re vegetarian, and don’t play dishonest arguments using price.
If you buy bell peppers in an EU supermarket they hover around the 4€/kg, which is very similar to the prices of whole chicken. Rotisserie is marginally more expensive per kilo, because it’s one of those convenience items that supermarkets don’t sell for a profit but for convenience to attract clients. Local supermarkets such as Mercadona sell rotisserie chicken de-boned for 6€-ish/kg.
This post is not about vegetarianism and its morality (which I support), it’s about the literal cheapest meat being considered a luxury. 6.5€ per kilo for a cooked meal is literally some of the most affordable you can find, try feeding 2-3 people without cooking yourself. Do you consider strawberries (5€/kg at cheapest) a luxury?
I did not argue whether vegan is cheaper, I argued that chicken is not expensive. 4€/kg raw and 6.5€/kg cooked for European prices is not expensive food, end of the story, you really cannot honestly argue against that. If you’re seriously arguing that, you should apply for a job at the Wall Street Journal, you’d be a wonderful corporate lackey and worker basher.

How is rotisserie chicken expensive? It’s a loss leader and one of the cheapest proteins you can find.
