The NY Times recently had an article on the supermarket rotisserie
chickens. They are often loss leaders to get you into the store. I looked
at them in my local supermarket. The ingredient list went on and on.

The other day for lunch I decided to see just what Whole Foods had in the
steam and cold tables. The food, with sales tax, approached $10/lb. They
also had the rotisserie chickens. The half chickens had a list of
ingredients, but the whole chickens had only salt and pepper. All the whole
chickens were labeled 1 lb 12 oz. With sales tax the price approached $10.

I looked around and picked what looked like a large one. I got home. I
weighed it. It weighed 2.5 lbs! Are they always so generous in size? I
could have bought chicken from the steam tables. One pound would have been
the same price as the 2.5 pounds I got.
