Crazy how you can't think past this. Maybe not factory farm them? Shocker, I know.
So you want to pay $50 for a McDonald's chicken sandwich? I don't think it's right. These chickens are bred to be oversized and grow fast. They get so big that they can barely move. Full of antibiotics so they don't get infected from sitting in their own leavings.
I am really hoping for lab grown meat personally.
And since you may have missed it, these chickens are all female. There are technically ways to determine sex before they hatch but if you really want to get upset Google 'Chick Grinder'. It's as horrible as it sounds so maybe don't Google it.
That being said, I don't want to pay for $50 chickens as much as I don't want to pay for $2,000 iPhones because that's what having them made without slave/child labor would probably cost....
Ugh
I was reading that Europeans actually found a way to sex the egg so they don't hatch the male eggs, thus negating the need to destroy male chicks. I'm guessing the technology costs money so it's unlikely that US factory farms would use it. Probably easier to kill the with the grinder.
I think it's kind of a false dichotomy, between spending a lower amount of money (i.e. being poor), and being ethical. I think there's a lot more we could take issue with, on how society is structured, than accept this false dichotomy. There's a better universe out there where instead of having to use paper straws, we all just switch to biodegradable, and it is incentivized that people use metal straws. Same shit with this. There's a universe out there where we eat less meat, where this meat is more sustainably sourced and is locally sourced, which cuts down on logistics, and where, as a result, we don't have to pay 50 bucks for a frankly pretty gross chicken sandwich.
