Why is McChicken so cheap?
Chef's answer
It's not *actually* cheaper, if you look at it in the larger scheme of things, it just feels that way to us on an individual level. So actually, the reason buy the burger is so cheap is partly through government subsidies, but also because we're externalizing costs and making someone else pay for it.
