The ecomonics of chicken feet

Corbett | December 11, 2011 4:57 PM

I'm not a big fan of chicken feet. Some people love them - my wife for example, and my buddy Chris. He's even a foreigner, I think the only foreigner who actually loves crunching on these things.

This Freakonomics article talks about the economics of this curious delicacy. I've had beers with guys at Tyson and Cargill here in China who have been telling me for a long time that chicken feet are a major US export item for them. I never believed them. This article is proof.

So next time you have one of these tasty treats hanging out of your mouth, you'll know that you are saving the American economy. Buy American! Eat chicken feet!
