Fast-food chain Chick-fil-A has sparked a social media backlash after announcing that it will soon allow certain antibiotics in the chickens it raises, citing supply issues.

Chick-fil-A restaurants in the U.S., Canada and Puerto Rico will transition “from chicken raised with No Antibiotics Ever (NAE) to chicken raised with No Antibiotics Important to Human Medicine (NAIHM), starting in the spring of 2024,” the company said in a statement posted on its website this week.

Although I rarely eat there, maybe once or twice a year, this is all the justification I need.

According to the Good Place if you eat their sandwich it means you hate gay people.

if you’ve bought anything there then you are contributing directly to people who fund and support the anti-lgbtq+ movement so yes, you cannot be a customer there and also support these social movements

While I agree with the stance that Chick-fil-a should be boycotted, I think declaring those who dont incapable of supporting lgbtq+ social movements only hurts said movements. Its not a zero sum game, and alienating potential allies is a losing strategy.

Plus, at least as an American, its damn near impossible to survive without spending money on products that caused harm somewhere along the line. Dont be so quick to throw stones, all our hands are soaked with blood, most of us are just too busy to notice.

Maybe they should try making it good.

Soggy salty chicken sandwich was fine in 2003 when everyone else was doing dry chicken sandwich. Now the meta is crunchy and juicy chicken sandwich so CFA is just mid.

I tried their food as they recently opened up in my city in Canada. Their chicken sandwich and waffle fries are a complete joke compared to local chains here and McDonald’s/KFC of all places. Dry af chicken, sad spice and soggy waffle fries. At a local chain I get a good Nashville Hot Chicken Sandwich, beautiful steak cut fries and a good drink. They just expanded to a second location here. Chick-fil-A do better

Personally I’ve never had chic fil a but I am very critical of chicken sandwiches. Popeyes is what I look for from a fast food chicken sandwich but my local joint is the best. Nashville hot, spicy barbecue even nekid. Portions are big too . I just really like chicken sandwiches.

Oh yeah I’ve heard the Christian chicken described as it taste safe and I don’t regret never trying it.

I live much, much further south than you. Gulf coast state.

I hesitate to compliment them because they’re a restaurant chain built on the back of an established religion that’s slowly dismantling our country.

But I will say that my experience has been the exact opposite. Fresh, juicy chicken, best waffle fries around. Too bad I don’t buy from them, because really the only comparable chicken sandwich around here is Popeyes and those tend to be greasy.

I’d rather they didn’t and just went away instead.
