It’s just too expensive. Why pay 7.99 lb for “organic” chicken when “inorganic” cost .79 lb and tastes the same off the grill?

You don't care about the chicken's emotional state before they whack her head off?

I think you get a certain elitist group that goes there. They want to be seen buying there. They have no consideration of money. It’s just, who’ll see me buying here. It’s a status thing.

Who could justify paying their prices? What a waste of money.

I don’t care how much money I had, and at times I have access to a pretty fair sum of it, I just don’t burn money if I can avoid it. It really rubs me the wrong way.

I don't know about "organic" chicken. But the basic .79/lb chicken is just nasty beyond description. Seriously, if you cannot tell the difference between a healthy and an unhealthy chicken, buy a new set of taste buds. Unhealthy chickens have a very different fat composition, and the muscle meat of unhealthy chickens is just slimy. By contrast, a chicken that runs around eating bugs all day will be some of the best meat you can ever eat.

For a really interesting comparison, do a blind taste test of hardboiled eggs from free-range, versus unhealthy. The first will taste buttery and delicious, whereas the second is tasteless and chalky. To top it off, the nutritional content of the two is completely different, as well.

Having said that, I have never paid 7.99/lb for chicken in my life. Most farms will part with chicken for under 5. At least near me.
