Round 1
Arguments:
1. Quantity and Popularity
Americans today eat 160 million servings of cheap, convenient chicken every day [2]It is estimated that around 55 million chicken are eaten all over the world on a daily basis. [3]Chicken is by far the most popular meat, not only in the United States but all across the globe, too. Every country has its particular cuisine, yet almost everywhere we can find traditional dishes and recipes that include chicken meat. [4]
2. Profit
The combined value of production from broilers, eggs, turkeys, and the value of sales from chickens in 2020 was $35.5 billion..... 1 percent from chickens.35.5 billion/100 = 35.5 million3,500,000 USD from Chicken
3. Cuisine
This isn't even a full archive, it's just a standardized list. The amount in different, less known recipes could be over a thousand.
Conclusion:
C = Chicken
- C is widespread
- C is profitable
- C is in culture
PRO forgot to compare Chicken with any other form of edible animal flesh, thus failing to fulfill his BoP fundamentally.
1. Popularity
USDA and UN have concluded that Pork, not chicken, is the most consumed meat[1].
2. Profit
Turkey is not 'chicken'. The former is Meleagris gallopavo and the latter is Gallus gallus domesticus[2]. They are different species.
Also, eggs are not considered edible flesh[3] and should not be included in "chicken as a meat".
The entire 2nd section by Pro was unsourced, and even if there are sources, the statistics does not represent any relevant point whatsoever.
3. Cuisine
The length of the article does not represent how popular Chicken as an ingredient is. If anything, it just represents how willing people are to contribute to this article because there are unlisted dishes for every ingredient and Wiki can be edited freely.
C = Chicken
-C is not the most consumed meat.
-PRO has not sufficiently proven that C makes the most $ or the most meals.
Vote CON!

Round 2
Concession. Can't find a foot holding to argue persuasively. GG
Pro has conceded, vote Con.
Round 3
Concession. Vote CON
Pro has conceded, vote Con.

>Reason for Mod Action:
This debate clearly falls into the conceded debate category. Votes on conceded debates are only moderated in the event that said vote awards the majority of points to the conceding side. Choosing to award no points does not violate the voting standards on conceded debates, and the standard for voting on these types of debates differs from the standard for other debates. Therefore, no intervention is merited.

Come on, it's a concession...
It was a concession...
This is a concession. Do you know what a concession is. Even Pro is convinced that I have the better argument here.
Not surprising. As I said 12 days ago, the debste was a forgone conclusion
Bestiality is wrong.

Your girlfriend's got some edible meat and I aint talkin' cannibalism, homes.
Putting forth a presumptuous statement with only one round posted.
But for real that argument was dumb so.... fair.
Well, for a weeks time for an argument, such a weak one could only be described as a feat of something.
Almost every point is ridiculous:
1. Quantity and Popularity, 2. Profit, 3. Cuisine
Chicken is the front runner in none of these categories.
I believe the debate is a forgone conclusion based on a lack of rudimentary research by the instigator.
The obvious intellectual capacity of making a 1000 character debate have two weeks for arguments
