U.S. chicken prices may have been artificially inflated for years
I also find it interesting how much of a premium white meat commands at the grocery store.  $10 might get me 1 lb (450 g) boneless chicken breast, or 3 lb (1400 g) boneless chicken thigh.  Since one chicken produces slightly <i>less</i> thigh meat than breast meat, I can only assume that there is a huge disparity in demand.<p>I'm not complaining—I get the meat I prefer for a good price that way.<p>(Edit: To be clear, U.S.)<p>(Edit 2: I think I misremembered the prices: might have been 3 lb / 9 lb instead of 1 lb / 3 lb.)
