$5 for a whole chicken? That's cheap as fuck. What does the WSJ expect gen z and millennials to eat? Their mom's cooking?

A single meal for $5 would be a deal. A rotisserie chicken can feed a family, or a single person could eat it for days.

This is just more "anyone who isn't a millionaire doesn't deserve to eat" rhetoric from the world's billionaires.

Also, as a 30y.o. millennial, I object to the characterization of the "oldest gen z" being 30. I've earned my place among 20th century-borns!

Can feed a family yes, but isn't truly a meal on its own. Add some rice and beans, and now you've got a decent meal that has a tad more nutrition/balance than just straight up chicken.

You're right, it needs some veggies too. But honestly if you're having rice and beans, and something iron-rich like broccoli, then the chicken isn't even necessary.

But we all know the people complaining about this aren't advocating for vegetarianism...
