Newsflash for the person who doesn’t want to contribute to animal cruelty by buying KFC: If you’re buying meat at the rates given in the above graphic (which, um, no longer exist because it’s not 1985 anymore), I can guarantee you that chicken suffered just as much as the one that got sacrificed to KFC. In what world does 2 pounds of chicken cost less than $2? Food snobs can just go fuck themselves. Ugh, privilege denying. Being vegan I would advocate limiting the animal products in your diet. But this comparison that constantly goes around? It fails on so many fucking levels. Not only does it not take into consideration time to prepare food but it also doesn’t take into account for disabilities. If you’re disabled wtf are you going to do with some raw fucking chicken and potatoes? Whereas its much easier to eat ready made food. Or even just taking allergies into account. Picture two is pretty dairy heavy for someone who’s lactose intolerant whereas the KFC meal has miniscule amounts in the cole slaw (if any) and a tiny bit in the potatoes, which a person could sub with the french fries instead even. And then there’s the matter of pricing too like everyone brought up. This comparison is disingenuous in that it appears that if nothing else they’re going by in season prices for produce. Peaches and corn are cheaper in the summer time whereas the rest of the year they’re much more expensive. Whereas the prices for KFC, except for the occasional corporate raise are pretty much static throughout the year. So yeah, thanks sparkpeople from approaching this topic from the entirely wrong angle.
