  • Eating chicken IS expensive ! It also happens to be immoral, but that’s not relevant here. Vegan is cheaper unless you live in some sort of hellscape where only hyper-processed food is available.

    It really depends where you live. Strawberries should be a luxury in places they don’t grow locally ; I can’t give a worldwide opinion on the price of strawberries.

    Fruit in general should not be a luxury, but fruit from far away or fruit that require a lot of resources to grow should be.


  • I do exclusively eat grains, potatoes, carrots, and beans ! (and other vegetables, fruits, and legumes)

    Eating even the cheapest chicken I could find at LIDL (a little over 10€) would at least triple my food budget.

    I think also Americans live in a different world pricing-wise, I have seen some people respond to me with some prices I didn’t think existed.

    So I guess the universe where it is expensive is called “Europe”.





  • Last time I checked a whole chicken was like 10-15€ or something (and I was at a discount store, so that’s a low estimate). That sounds real expensive to me, my meals only cost me around 1€ each usually. And I’m pretty sure you can’t stretch a single rotisserie chicken across 10-15 meals ?

    To be fair, I have never bought or eaten meat as an adult, so I have no frame of reference for its price.
