Why does everybody stare at the chicken?

Every time I go to the meat case at the supermarket there are a bunch of people standing around staring at the chicken. Why? Nobody stares at the pork chops. Or the fish. Nobody even looks at the steaks. Do you know how much those things cost, the steaks? What's so fascinating about chicken, anyway? And why can't we have a special, express line for people who don't want to look. Hey, I'll even wear a blindfold. Just point me at the chicken, get out of the way, let me grab a package and I'll be gone. It's only chicken, after all. And even if it isn't it probably tastes like chicken, so what's the deal?
