Question

Chick-fil-A’s "Eat Mor Chikin" advertising campaign features three cows holding signs that say things like "Save the cows, eat more chicken."If consumers began eating more chicken and less beef, would the cattle population increase or decrease? Explain.

Answer 1

If consumers began eating more chicken and less beef, the cattle population would decrease.

Explanation:

• Once the consumers shift to consuming more chicken than beef, the demand for beef would automatically go down.
• With an initiated increase in the consumption of chicken, the price of chicken would go up owing to the increase in demand and limited supply.
• Hence, people would look for alternatives to chicken and turn back to beef as the chicken would be unaffordable.
