whatever proof i gave you you'd deny. you can google it. these chickens are overwhelmingly prepared with injections of salt, fat and butter and plenty of outlets have tested them and they have massive levels of sodium, saturated fat, and other stuff like preservatives and chemicals that makes them processed if not ultra processed foods.
it's not a conspiracy, it's how our food supply works.
Hannafords is small chain, we're talking about Costco and Walmart in this thread. Perhaps their chickens are better. I have been to a few of them in my area and they are an expensive store with more premium products. Whole foods has them too and theirs aren't cheap and are probably more natural.
Ah, yes, a tiny, insignificant chain, only backed by the supply chain of its parent company which is one of the largest food retailers in the entire US with it's various regional rebadges of subsidiaries.
You're talking out of your ass and you know it, while grasping at straws and completely ignoring the fact that criticism in the OP is not that they are spending money on something people like you consider a luxury, but they're framing it as a splurge to purchase a whole chicken at the lowest cost available in most stores for an entire chicken.
You really had the obvious option available to complain about this whole time, if you wanted to talk about people in debt splurging on a luxury, you could have just bitched and moaned about them springing for the probiotic juices mentioned in the OP. Instead, you're here arguing against a point nobody is making about the quality of the chicken because you've got a bug up your ass that someone else might eat a chicken you disapprove of.
Go get a hobby.
No, I'm talking out of a personal interest in economics and the food supply. You are just the one talking our your ass and thinking your personal chicken prep experience from 10-20 years ago is relevant to the market today.
Again, you have restated the same thing over and over again without proof, while not just myself, but multiple people from at least two countries, working for different major companies have told you that this was not the case where they worked. If there really is this massive conspiracy of yours to specifically inject chickens destined for the rotisserie (as opposed to just all of them, since plenty of cheaper chicken gets injected with brine and other chemicals at the processing plant, so that whole, raw chicken that you're on your high horse about being so much better often is no better or worse in this regard), then post your proof already. If you're just going to keep on moaning, "But it's true, you're all just too stupid and emotional to admit it," then kindly shut up and save us all time. You post it again, I'm going to ask you for proof of your claims another time.
You can't even be bothered to know the most basic outlines of corporate retail supply chains, or else you wouldn't be saying such stupid things like Hannaford is too small a chain to be a valid comparison, when they've been owned and backed entirely by one of the largest grocery multinationals going and used their supply chain for around two decades at this point. Given that level of ignorance on the topic, I really doubt your insights into food and grocery supply chains are even worth the electricity you're consuming to transmit them to the server when you post them.
