The Wall Street Journal Gets Community Noted For Saying Gen Zers And Millennials Are 'Splurging On Rotisserie Chickens' - Discuss Online

Lemmy

I know this is preaching to the choir here, but that is so very out of touch for many/most/all of us.

Those things cost like $5 - $9 in my area, and you can even get the “old” ones for a couple dollars cheaper at times. It costs very little more than raw chicken, and in some cases, the rotisserie chickens cost less. Then you factor in time for cooking, clean-up, products for clean-up, and other time / material costs, and the difference comes out a wash.

So, they are apparently suggesting that having chicken in a meal at all is a splurge. Sure, in some idealistic world where we all eat a vegan diet to save the earth, that might fly. But in the real world, it’s literally insane propaganda to suggest that chicken is a splurge.

And rotisserie chicken is tasty, filling because it’s high protein, and healthy/low calorie.
The Costco ones are brined in all kinds of chemicals.

The chemicals: water, salt, rice starch, sugar, vegetable oil, tetrapotassium pyrophosphate, sodium triphosphate

Nothing concerning in that list, although the last two sound scary when if don’t know what they are

Chemicals in this case is another one of those vague amorphous things to be scared of, right up until you know what it is… Could be anything really, baking soda, 5G mind control powder, dusted Bin Laden, your aunties fingernails.

Everything in the world is chemical, including all your natural GMO free organic foods, got that adenosine triphosphate, cellulose, chlorophyll, dihydrogen monoxide.

Gonna go around scaring people by telling them I’ve been buying skewered avian carcasses to eat instead of beef, and showing them a rotisserie chicken.

Or just get educated and look at the list of shit they put in the chicken. Your choice.
Costco chicken ingredients: chicken, water, salt, sodium phosphates, hydrolyzed casein, modified corn starch, sugar, dextrose, chicken broth, isolated soy protein lecithin, and mono-and-diglycerides.
