- undersuit 11y agoBut they don't buy the $5 chicken, they buy their local chicken equivalent at their market rates. Maybe their market rates aren't as a screaming deal as $5 is for an american, but they also have a much better chance to raise their own chickens without an H.O.A. shutting them down.
- TheCoelacanth 11y agoMost of them simply don't have chicken at all. There are roughly 800 million people who don't have adequate access to food. It doesn't seem like it if you like in a developed country, but for over 10% of the people in the world, the price of food actually is of extreme importance.
