Given all Adam has described, yes indeed!
You have many choices - meat and chicken produced at large, factory farms,
will of course be cheaper.
Any meat/chicken sold through chain stores will be cheaper.
You have that choice -it is locally available at Donelans, Market Basket,
Costco.
It is your choice.
You get what you pay for.
