Is a rotisserie chicken just like a whole precooked chicken? Why the hell would you buy a precooked chicken?
Americans are lazy as hell and dont bother with actually cooking stuff most of the time.
Home Cooked food is actually NOT what most people in America eat day to day, its pre made dinners and stuff like that.
Lazy? Or busy? The ready to eat, fresh frozen, fast food, grab and go stuff started, for the most part, as a way for the busy American to get something cheap and quick to prepare so they could get back to work fast. If you were working a shit 9 to 5, and you had to get to work quick, whats faster? bacon and eggs made at home? Or a disgusting egg mcmuffin? Get up early to make breakfast? Pfft, I need that sleep for working so my performance doesn't slip! THE NEXT PERFORMANCE REVIEW IS COMING! OH GOD! I DON'T HAVE TIME FOR AN EGG MCMUFFIN! THROW THIS POPTART IN THE MICROWAVE WHILE I SHOWER! NOT ENOUGH TIME! FUCK THE POPTART! HALF A BAG OF CHIPS AND A SODA!
Americans are lazy as fuck, but that's only when they aren't working their asses off for 40 to 50 hours a week at dead end jobs with companies that hate their guts.
