I love Costco but we need much stronger regs regarding factory farming. You’re telling me you hatched a chicken, raised it from birth, butchered, transported, and rotisserie’d it for under $4.99?

Not everything is sold at a profit, especially in that business

True but I don’t think they’re selling $15 chickens for $5. Even if it’s a loss leader and the real cost is $7… what does a $7 chicken’s life look like?

I bought USDA Prime ribs on the same trip. $50 for a package. The whole cow would be thousands. Explains why cows get vet care, live on a range most of their life, etc. At a few bucks each chickens must be a fully automated industrial process with a yield % at each step…

The other aspect is that selling at a loss distorts the market and destroys the market share of smaller distributors who can’t compete with Costco’s scale. It’s anti-competitive, is a form of subsidy, and if done in an international trade context is called dumping and is generally reacted to aggressively by governments

Chikens are usually slaughtered 5-7weeks after haching. food wise they dont need much. Like max 5kg which is not expensive either.
