Because the standards are a lot higher than in other countries. And to be fair, 9.70 CHF is still pretty cheap if you think about it.
Because chickens are treated as animals not as a commodity.
Even in Switzerland meat is still too cheap if you consider the true costs it takes to produce it.
CHF 9.70 is pretty cheap… You can feed 4 person with that size… Combined with rice and some vegetables and you have a meal for CHF 5 per person…
It’s meat. An animal had to be raised to be slaughtered. It shouldn’t be cheap.
Always this stinginess with meat🙄!
Meat has its price if the animals are to be kept halfway okey.
The migros budget chicken i got last time was 7.50. if you go 1hr before closing you find many reduced meats. But yeah. That was super cheap.
The question should rather be: how can chicken be so cheap everywhere else?
Buy a Hotdog instead.
You you f. kidding me 10 CHF is expensive?
You get way less good cheese for this money. Meat is still too cheap.
Its disgusting that meat can be sold so cheap. this is way to low for a whole chicken
Cause it’s not exported like in the US
lol to think that 9.70 is expensive for a whole chicken…
but a huge double lol for that “Serviervorschlag”, wtf is that :DD
The mind boggles that local Swiss chicken or beef costs more at the point of sale than meat shipped in from South America.
It’s common in coop to have beef on ‘action’ in a big display near the door.. 40% reduction or something, it’s always from Argentina or something. Same for chicken, there’s usually 3 categories, the swiss bio, the swiss and the cheap one from eastern europe.
Because I want to eat Chicken that actually experienced walking outside and walk over a real ground?
There are two foods you should never save when getting them. A) meat and B) fish. Yes, you can get the cheap budget shit. But when you do, you also forfeited your right to complain about how animals are treated.
It’s always the same…
Lidl only had chicken for -0.55/100g? I think 9.70 is not that expensive… it’s rather cheap.
It’s still pretty cheap compared to other meat. If you buy organic, the chickens have an outdoor access and have more space. Most of the times the quality is better as well.
9.70 is expensive for you ? LOL, I can eat for 3 days with a whole chicken.
To be honest it is quiet cheap and probably it has to do with some quality standards. think about the cost of a life? Less than 10.- for something that used to live
This is not expensive. This used to be a living, breathing, sentient being. At least for the few unfortunate couple of weeks you let it. Now it has been killed and ripped of every little thong it ever had. And you think you paid too much? Shame on you.
You can have a very uninteresting sandwich for 7.50 almost everywhere 2.- more for a chicken is still good I think.
Go for The brazilian Chicken. Its way cheaper 😉
10 bucks per kilo is some of the cheapest meat.
I recently bought some beef ragout at three times that price.
$9.70 is pretty cheap nowadays.
Because we don’t use chlorine to clean them, 10 bucks for a dead animal is very very cheap
