Right but the discussion isn't if it is healthier, it is what is cheapest. If low income families lack the equipment or knowledge to cook a good tasting whole bird, rotisserie is a good priced option. The fact that the news outlet is calling that splurging is wild.

    cheapest here and now comes at a long term cost.

    these chickens are a loss leader in order to get people to hooked on shitty premade food that is profitable for the stores so they never learn to cook better food.

    i grew up poor. it was splurging for us to buy this stuff. our regular food was frozen and canned. even uncooked fresh food was a luxury for us.
