    Ok, so then say “eating chicken is immoral”, not “eating chicken is expensive” if you’re vegetarian, and don’t play dishonest arguments using price.

    If you buy bell peppers in an EU supermarket they hover around the 4€/kg, which is very similar to the prices of whole chicken. Rotisserie is marginally more expensive per kilo, because it’s one of those convenience items that supermarkets don’t sell for a profit but for convenience to attract clients. Local supermarkets such as Mercadona sell rotisserie chicken de-boned for 6€-ish/kg.

    This post is not about vegetarianism and its morality (which I support), it’s about the literal cheapest meat being considered a luxury. 6.5€ per kilo for a cooked meal is literally some of the most affordable you can find, try feeding 2-3 people without cooking yourself. Do you consider strawberries (5€/kg at cheapest) a luxury?
