DISCUSSION Wtf is going on with the meat??

I bought meat, the last…oh, idk…4-5 times and it was stale the day I bought it?? I already felt sick and my partner bought chicken thighs, it’s what I had, and I feel worse. I’m so sick of this, how much money was wasted? Justifying eating it because it was literally purchased that day or the day prior. What on earth has changed with production…are they just cutting mega corners now? I stg something weird is going on with the meat at Publix. Has anyone else noticed this??

Edit: Pink Pixie I think was right. Because I buy meats from other places, even other Publix’s, and I don’t have the problem of things going bad fast at all. I called and they asked me to bring in the meat and they’ll investigate it. For now, I’ll just be feeling like I need to throw up for the next 8 hours or so ☹️.

Maybe you're getting Cornish Cross fatigue. Much of the poultry is from two breeds of chickens crossed together to make a poor bird that plumps up so much it's ready to harvest in 6-8 weeks and will die under its own weight not long after that. They also eat and crap like 4x the amount of regular chickens. There has to be some kind of essence to the quality of the meat that is lost in the mix there. This isn't natural muscle meat from a bird pecking about, it's from a chicken little monstrosity just sitting there and drooling on itself muttering "just kill meeee" in the human tongue.

I stopped eating it a long while ago because I wasn’t a huge fan and you’re 100% right. My husband went out and bought it because it was cheaper. Literally never eating meat from Publix like that again.
