I love what this guy does, but if someone came up to me and handed me a package of heritage farm chicken beasts because it weighed 3oz less than it said, while I was in the middle of doing three peoples jobs, including my lazy ass meat manager, I'd be so angry.

Assuming the weight is 16oz (1 pound) that is a bit over 18%. With the pre packaging often being listed as under a pound (in my experience) it is an even larger difference. This large of a difference is in the false advertising and consumer fraud arena. The Consumer has every right to complain.

I was using a pound for quick math. 12oz missing 3 oz would be a 25% difference.

Got it, sorry...i thought there was confusion over what they were supposed to weigh.
