DAWG, why don't you just say...."Beam me up scottie"?

The point many are making is that you do pay more for a superior (on so many levels) product. The problem is that the uneducated, uninformed public prefers a cheap (on so many levels) product. Fortunately for those in the USA and Mexico with some education and information that far superior bird is available for far less than the French are paying.

Not likely unless one imports it from Bresse! I'm afraid you don't know what the Dawg is referring to.

Don´t be unfair, lunateak. Dawg was not trying to be a snot. Yes, I was referring to such chickens as those from Bresse but artisanal chickens come from all over France and can be very expensive but quite good. I only meant to say that if you wish to buy chickens raised in other than industrial conditions, you´ll have to pay the price. Americans want cheap chicken but expect those chckens to be of high quality. Ain´t gonna happen, folks.

Apology accepted.

We apparently do agree that the masses wouldn't know the value of good food at any price.

A great many of those masses can't afford one of those chickens even if they could find it.
The disparity between "rich" and "poor" in the good ol' US of A is so large now that the poor might as well be living in the third world for all their buying power. Lizzy

Good point, Lizzie. The nearly empty pocket people don't get to get picky about the quality of their chickens and Big Agri knows it.
We seldom saw genuinely poor folks at the local farmers' markets NOB. Things cost more there than at the local crapola stores.

Any of the "not good" food around here would be most welcome on their tables.

Time to get real. Thanks for the reminder.

This is an interesting subject that rarely receives the attention it deserves. Animal flesh whether from the earth or the sea produced and distributed as human sustenance is often produced under conditions we humans not involved in the harvesting of animals for human consumption find repulsive.

Where we live in Highland Chiapas, the indigenous folks, who constitute a large proportion of the local population, live largely in extreme poverty but are sustained by locally produced vegetable products and eat only modest amounts of meat or fish but that is not because they are compassionate toward other creatures sharing the planet but because other creatures used by humans for sustenance are expensive to nurture and, thus, except on an industrial scale, impractiical sources of nutrition if produced on a small scale. Plus, unlike animals fed on an industrial scale, you have to go out into the pin and kill and gut and dress the sumbitch. It ain´t like a drive to the Safeway.

When we are in Chiapas, living within two blocks of the indigenous market with its ample supplies of fresh, locally grown vegetables, we eat far more vegetables than meat than is the case at Lakeside simply because the vegetables are so good and nourishing and, also, because the meat supply in Chiapas is suspect due to inadequate local sanitary practices. It´s that simple.

Dawg does not give a damn about the morality or immorality of slaughtering animals for consumption and would barbeque a pig or a cow or a horse or a lamb or, if hungry enough, a raccoon in a minute for a meal but I don´t really know how to clean the sonsabitches. I need a butcher for that.

Like it or not, we all have certain writing styles that even if we are attempting to disguise will show up sooner or later. It takes a very devious and calculating person to show up on a forum with a different name and not be recognized sooner or later.

I am that devious and calculating. I just kept forgetting who I was signed in as... sigh.

Who is Manny/Susan/ Bronco and why are youse guys so mean to it?

That would be Susan/Bronco/Manny.

"youse guys"? Read her/his/its posts to achieve enlightenment, grasshopper.

Ah, but wouldn't our Fearless Leader have screened it out, if so?
