Vox article on Costco’s $4.99 rotisserie chicken
https://www.vox.com/future-perfect/23207301/costco-rotisserie-chicken-poultry-farming-inflation
Speaks of Costco setting up its own supply (vertical integration) for this “loss leader” product that has been selling for $4.99 each for the last 11+ years, the “big chicken” industry trend, and associated environmental and societal impacts.
Costco did the same thing with its hot dogs - moving them to vertical integration.
For all the talk people make about buyings sustainably, buying from the US, etc. buying habits of people are mainly driven by their wallet.
