It's Canada and Canadian Food Price posting has been a thing on 4chan for a few years because of how batshit expensive it was pre pandemic even.

@professionalbigot69 @PhenomX6 @sjw thats just how its always been here, pork was low cost, beef was middle and chicken was the top. thats not including the rare shit like venison or deer or anything that isn't widely available
-
@graf @professionalbigot69 @PhenomX6 @sjw chicken was historically an expensive meat
not sure why/when it became cheap in the US
-
@PhenomX6 @sjw thats 27$ USD for 2.9lb of chicken. its also in toronto so you are paying the toronto tax on that. at current rate (according to the store flyer) its 24$/kg which at current exchange makes that actually 24$ USD locally
also we have always paid much higher for chicken. that is the expensive meat in canada. you need to freak out when bacon is expensive -- which it has been, almost 3x its normal price since 2019

@graf @PhenomX6 @sjw bro how the fuck is chicken of all things expensive
-
@deprecated_ii @sjw @PhenomX6 @graf @professionalbigot69 yeah that's sus. Chicken has been the cheap bulk meat for my life time

@Eiregoat @sjw @PhenomX6 @deprecated_ii @graf @professionalbigot69 >pastured poultry
My misses made a legit chicken run around our raised beds and it is beyond successful, I cannot recommend it enough, it's a passage about 2' wide fenced in with thigh-high gem wire, the chucks eat the woodlice, slugs, snails and hollah at wild birds trying to eat our seedlings!
In the summer they turn their nose up at feed and are little fat feckers from all the pests they gobble up!
To be clear, these are 'pet hens' with the bonus of spotty brown eggs, but they are a lovely pet to have.

I heard from some canadian the reason poultry is so expensive there is that they ban some of the factory farming practices used in the USA, in particular antibiotics. While in the USA they feed them assloads of them while whining if you get antibiotics from your doctor.

> not sure why/when it became cheap in the US
When they worked out how to raise 10,000 birds in a single barn and process them automatically. Also they started breeding them to be basically all breast and barely have any legs to support themselves with.

@Eiregoat @deprecated_ii @sjw @PhenomX6 @graf @professionalbigot69 It is a biochemical horror show, and for what? 20% less than the price of irish chicken per #?
God knows, Irish chicken is still bad, but the hens and workers don't have to take the same strain of antibiotics just to work in the same environment.
Just out of routine, Irish hens have to be cycled out of their barn to a lawn, so their barn can be hosed out (lidl/aldi/tesco call's this "free range" btw) the yanks just pump them with drugs and leave them sitting in their own shit.

> lidl/aldi/tesco call's this "free range" btw
Yeah, I found out a while back that "free range" doesn't mean shit. I think they have another word for actual free range, where they're allowed to go outside into a fenced yard whenever they want, but I forget what it is. Personally I want to do pastured poultry.
Also, keep an eye out for "barn raised" chickens and eggs. It means that normally they're free range but due to an eu lockdown or other they haven't actually been allowed outside.
