RE: What is a Chicken? - 100 Years of Playing God

in #science6 years ago

Its odd to think that chicken wasn't always the inexpensive, ubiquitous meat option at the supermarket. Its also disconcerting when you think of how cheap chicken usually is (2 bucks a pound around here for breasts, and even less for other parts) and that small amount of money can fund growing a chicken from the egg to the slaughterhouse.
