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.

Local farms around me need to charge $25/chicken to make it worthwhile to raise well fed, ethically treated chicken. If you think corners weren’t cut on that $5 chicken you’re kidding yourself. We still buy the $5 one in a pinch but the local farm raised chicken is 100x more flavorful. We eat chicken less frequently and try to support local and eat better food that wasn’t grown and processed in factory settings
