I get the one that says "no antibiotics." I feel like his real issue is how the chickens are treated, which is not great, but most people can't afford chickens that are pampered before they are slaughtered, and most people do not sincerely care how chickens are treated before they are slaughtered.
As long as we let apathetic billionaires run the world, apathetic businesses will be allowed and encouraged to flourish, and we'll all be paid shit wages.
There is one cheaper option we shouldn't gloss over which removes the humanwashing: plants. Beans, lentils, potatoes, chickpeas, tofu, etc. are all rather cheap and rather good!
The reality kinds of end up being that factory farming is the only viable way to scale up to the insanely high per capita consumption in the west. The industry isn't going to be meaningfully changeable as long as production and consumption levels are as high as they are
No chickens end up being "pampered" before they are slaughtered, no matter how much you pay. It's just labels about handful of random practices that maybe won't happen with limited amounts of checking. Even for antibiotic-free labels, there is still more antibiotics than you'd think

The ones that say "no hormones" are a marketing scam because (in the USA) it is illegal to sell chicken meat that were given hormones or steroids, so all chicken is hormone free anyway
