Splurging on checks notes healthy food?
When I was young if you were poor you'd know your place in society and just eat fast food to reach a fast death.
Were it so easy. Now fast food is so expensive I can't even eat garbage to kill myself.
this isn't healthy food anymore than KFC is healthy.
if you make it at home, it's going to be far healthier because it's not going to be loaded with crap to make shitty quality meat taste good... just like fast food does.
These comments keep getting downvoted but Costco roasters are full of anti drying chemicals. They taste awful, but if people are used to fast food... they'll eat any shit.
because people don't want to hear the truth.
they want to believe the convenient fiction that somehow these shitty mcchicken products are 'healthy' and a 'good way for low income people to get protein' etc. Just like a few years ago they are all outraged that McDonald's isn't cheap anymore.
A simplistic moralizing narrative is what people want about every issue. They don't want to get into the details or talk about how the sausage is made, because it's ugly and unpleasant. I bet you most of the people who are pro Costco chicken are also anti-factory farming, but they fail to draw the connection that factory farming is what makes meat cheap. The reason your pasture raised organici free range roaster is $25 for a 4 lb bird is because raising chickens that way is expensive.
And for no reason, colon cancer is now a disease of 30 year olds.
