      I did, but you’re being a typical lemmy troll who refuses to acknowledge any counter point to your simplified narrative that lacks any context because you want to bite the ragebait that makes you feel morally superior for doing so.

      the article is designed to make you upset and troll you by going at your bias that premade grocery store chickens are some sort of nutritional necessity that is liberating people from the doldrums of their suffering at the evils of capitalism… even though it the chickens being sold like this is really an evil of capitalism itself.

      you can’t have your pre-made chicken rage and eat it too!

        In fairness, like the troll you accuse everyone else of being, you have zero proof for your claim that these chickens have somehow been modified to be shittier for you, and that’s why they’re cheaper.

        it’s just that whole foods and other groceries normalized the concept of hot ready to eat meals being served in grocery stores. that was never a thing 20+ years ago.

        Sorry you apparently grew up in bumfuck nowhere, pal. The Hannafords in the sticks that I worked at in high school, more than 20 years ago, had plenty of rotisserie chickens, and had them long before I started working there.

        You’ve gone and invented a massive conspiracy that ignores a simple reality. Offering rotisserie chickens as a loss leader is a simple and effective way to a) move whole chickens with minor blemishes and b) get people in the store with the promise of a cheap bird that almost always required you head to the back of the store, where they could count on you seeing several things “I may as well get while I’m here” to make up for whatever loss they sell the rotisserie chickens here.

        I’ve worked in several major grocery stores in different regions, and never encountered any evidence of this nonsense you’re so indignant people won’t swallow wholeheartedly.

        tl;dr: Show some proof or shut the fuck up, you muppet. Your own screeds do not count as proof, let’s see some external links.

        no, what I’m asking is how a ready to eat food product that is cheaper than the raw materials alternative is considered a luxury in this context

        I understand that ready to eat food itself is somewhat of a luxury, but that is not what is being discussed - what is being discussed is the cost of the food.

          No no, you see when you pay any amount beyond what is absolutely necessary to survive then you are spoiled by luxury. /S
