How is a full chicken so cheap?

619 views

I know economies of scale and battery farms and stuff but I can’t reasonably work out how you can hatch, raise, feed, kill prepare and ship a chicken and have it end up in a supermarket as a whole chicken for €4. Let alone the farmers and the supermarkets share. Someone please explain.

Factory farming is the answer. Cheap soya feed from the Global South, genetic modified flesh, and force feeding. Factory processing and packing. Parts of the chicken like the claws are exported to SE Asia, the guts are fertiliser. No waste and the poor chicken has no fresh air, or life. A bit like Covid time humans locked away from the Sun.
