2012: Signs of the Apocalypse #1
According to yesterday’s New York Times article, “‘Boneless’ Wings, the Cheaper Bite,” it is now more expensive to purchase chicken wings with the bones in than buying boneless chicken.
Hmmm…
The article states:
“All this is happening because wholesale chicken prices have turned upside down. The once-lowly wing is selling at a premium over what has long been the gold standard of poultry parts, the skinless boneless chicken breast.”
“Like the tail that wags the dog, the wings are now flapping the chicken.”
Thanks to all those tail-gaters, Happy Hour buffets, and Monday Night Football parties, wings are now a high-ticket item.
If that’s not a Sign of the Apocalypse, then WalMart‘s recent selection as global leader in promoting a “green” economy might be.
Stay tuned.
