It's just that if you're buying 79 cents per lbs chicken, you're going
for the nastiest, cruelest, sickest kind of meat you can get. Both in
terms of animal welfare and in terms of what you're putting in your
mouth. You'd expect people in a cooking newsgroup to have at least some
basic standards about what they eat. Here, most people are totaly
blinded by the 79 cents.
