buying a rotisserie chicken out of a grocery store is not a “cheap meal.” it’s basically the most expensive way to buy a chicken in a grocery store other than buying a breast pack. (you can literally buy an entire freakin’ chicken cheaper than you can buy a two-pack of breasts, much of the time).

At my local Smith’s (a Kroger subsidiary), a rotisserie chicken will generally run somewhere between $7.99-9.99.

A whole, uncooked chicken will typically run between $7.19-9.99.

The rotisserie chicken is already cooked, warm, and ready to eat. Your (marginally) cheaper chicken will take me additional time and effort to prepare … time I may not have and effort I may not have the energy to spare, especially if I’m old and dealing with chronic medical conditions that affect my energy level and mobility.

How about we stop policing people’s food choices based on anecdotes and assumptions of what’s proper?
