because they use shitty frozen chickens and they cook them like 100 at a time and they only taste great because they are loaded roasted with chemicals/cheap ingredients. it’s processed food, so it’s cheap. the chickens use at the grocery store for roasting and like 5 bucks and then but 5 cents of crap on them and sell them for 10 bucks. it’s also way more efficient to mass produce things than do them one at a time.
making your own chicken is more expensive because you’re getting higher quality and fresher product and using highly quality ingredients. a decent whole 4lb whole chicken for me is 10-15 bucks, (20+ if you want a organic free range pasture bird) and I’m adding nice salt, nice olive oil, and fresh spices/citrus etc.
the home made bird is far healthier. but not as tasty because it’s not loaded with crap.
To be fair, avocado toast is an actual scam and can be made home for cheap, while rotisserie chicken is legitimately expensive rn no matter how you get it.
Right but the discussion isn’t if it is healthier, it is what is cheapest. If low income families lack the equipment or knowledge to cook a good tasting whole bird, rotisserie is a good priced option. The fact that the news outlet is calling that splurging is wild.
these chickens are a loss leader in order to get people to hooked on shitty premade food that is profitable for the stores so they never learn to cook better food.
i grew up poor. it was splurging for us to buy this stuff. our regular food was frozen and canned. even uncooked fresh food was a luxury for us.
i’ve had co-workers who feel the same way. kept fucking up at work, not showing up on time, and blaming everyone else for being mean to them. they were shitty people and work is much better without them around. being around competent people who take pride in their work and themselves is a joy.
edit: it’s not a system dude. It’s the choices you make. if you’ve made choices to make yourself a caged chicken and you hate it, you’ve nobody to blame but yourself. chickens don’t have existential angst.
You’ve been reported. You seem to be arguing a completely different argument and lightly trolling. This is a warning or I’m going to give you a temp ban.
Bitch, it is cheaper to buy the fully cooked rotisserie chicken at the grocery store than the UNCOOKED WHOLE CHICKEN.
Don’t fucking tell me how to math, you assholes made corporations people, so I think we have very different ideas of what is important in this world.

cheapest here and now comes at a long term cost.
