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.

Hannafords is small chain,

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.

Operating more than 2,000 stores of multiple brands across 23 states, Ahold Delhaize is among the largest food and consumables retailers in the United States via its regional 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.
