About chicken, you can buy whole chicken (dead or alive) from those wet markets.
You may not get to select quality chicken breasts without buying the whole chickens.
Local method to prepare chicken is to chop the whole chicken to chunks and then use the more bony pieces for soup and more meaty parts for frying on pan.
That is to say, the meat is generally not separated from the bones until eating, so buying specifically breasts is tricky.
Wet market is a type of food market, it's where locals (and many foreigners too) go to buy their vegetables and meat. They have less of hygiene than supermarkets, but the food is generally fresher as it is sold by the farmers or people close to them in the production chain.
If you haven't yet, you should visit them just for the experience.
One thing we haven't been able to do properly, is (Swedish style) meat balls.
I don't know if it's the meat (from wet market) or what, but the meat-dough always turns up somehow wet. Tried with pork and beef.
In restaurants you sometimes see huge meatballs which get closer and are sometimes actually delicious.
I can do it in my home country, just frying the balls on a pan, but something goes wrong here, and it only works if deep fried in oil. Then it is not the same.
Speaking of Metro, I have learned (to disbelief of some visiting foreigners) that in China their business model is not towards consumers but for restaurants and others in the profession.
My wife tried to go shopping in Kunming Metro, and was turned back due to not having a business card.
My biggest concern about buying meat is the non-existent cold storage in the production chain - or at least in the food markets.
But I trust my wife (a local) with groceries, I just report what I like and not like to eat (after trying) so she knows to avoid it in future. We do eat pork almost daily, chicken or duck once a week.

CoVid experiences possibly affecting this could could of course come from many perspectives.
For example, those who are or have been in urban lock-down, may appreciate the prospect of going out once it is over - opportunities which are perhaps different in Kunming/Yunnan, than somewhere else.
If the survey took place during or after lock-downs in China, people will acknowledge this and it would show in results more strongly than perhaps otherwise. Appreciating what the city or region can offer beside 12h work days and big bucks.
If this "economic" is to be taken as in affordability, then at least for me it is a major point.
If I speculate this from local perspective, last I checked the local average salary was below the monthly automatic 5000 RMB tax deduction, so average Kunming resident gets by without paying any income tax - in many other country I would probably feel satisfied if I see the city and society develop even without having to contribute to it myself by other means than my own consumption.
There isn't that much industry here, but the benefits of developing society keep trickling in anyway, and this curve (or imbalance or whatever you'd call it) will ultimately show in this kind of surveys, positively.
It is perhaps same in some more remote places, where some farmers can make a small fortune with modern technology to help them.
Also curious about when this survey was conducted - would CoVid experiences weigh in it, and how?
I'm curious whether the separate website for Lijiang means less Lijiang-specific content appearing on GoKunming. For me personally it would be double to effort to navigate two websites, which may be why I will not frequent on the Lijiang site.
So basically will the information on the two sites be mirrored so that those who only read GoKunming, may catch all/most of the content about Lijiang as well?

New strict dog regulations in 36 Kunming areas
Posted by"Dogs raised outside the key management areas may not be brought in."
Curious how this regulation deals with people (foreigners or Chinese) who may want to move in Kunming and bring their pet dogs with...?
