[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Have you taken a moment to consider that someone is buying or breeding a chicken, feeding a chicken, raising it, killing it, cleaning it, packaging it, loading it on a truck, driving it, unloading it, then the store roasts it, packages it, puts it on a shelf, then checks you out.....for $10.  It's sort of a miracle.

I've never bought a rotisserie chicken in my life and barely eat meat in general, but even I understand that economies of scale actually make this possible. It's not like they are doing this one chicken at a time. Nor are people going in and purchasing a single rotisserie chicken. There are actually a lot of grocery store items with razor thin profit margins (especially staples), but then there are a bunch with wide margins (prepared foods, frozen foods, snack foods). People go in and buy the rotisserie chicken and then a bunch of other stuff and the store and the supplier both make a profit.

We're not talking about a solo farmer lovingly raising a single chicken and cooking it and then selling it to you for $10. That would, indeed, be a miracle (and I assume come with some kind of curse).[/quote]
