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.

I don't get the popularity of Chick-fil-A. Bland sandwiches and little variety.

[–] [email protected] 72 points 9 months ago (2 children)

It has a conservative Christian cult following due to the founder’s political and religious views.

They don't give a shit about LGBT lives, but they sure do give a shit about antibiotics... I'll give you a single guess as to why.

Right wing chicken chain has loyal right wing followers

This is the only explanation that makes any sense.

You are right. I’m going to cry in a pillow now

[–] [email protected] -2 points 9 months ago

I'd cry in my pillow but I can't afford one. Cries in late stage capitalist pre-apocalyptic dystopian Zeitgeist

Seriously. It's like being in love with average quality.

In my city, the dive bar makes better chicken sandwiches. How depressing that people live like that.

[–] [email protected] 1 points 9 months ago

In my city, the dive bars make phenomenal chicken sandwiches, which cost 4-5 times as much as Chick fil A, who makes a good chicken sandwich.

I prefer "Dave's Hot Chicken". Large boobs, and lots of spice.

The peach milkshake slaps but the food sucks. Popeyes is better for God’s sake.

Of course I stopped going entirely after they said they stopped donating to LGBTQA+ groups and then got fucking caught doing it yet again so yeah fuck Hate Chicken

[–] [email protected] 1 points 9 months ago (2 children)

Yeah, I mean, their stuff is okay but pretty unexciting IMHO. They might be inexpensive, kinda the Taco Bell route.

[–] [email protected] 4 points 9 months ago

Taco Bell isn't that cheap anymore. I ate there not long ago for the first time in years and it was over 10$ for the basic taco combo, not even Supreme. And they sucked. They were almost completely devoid of fillings. They are on my eternal shit list now.

[–] [email protected] 2 points 9 months ago

They're not inexpensive.

[–] [email protected] 0 points 9 months ago (1 children)

I think you're just being contrarian.

[–] [email protected] 1 points 9 months ago

Not here. Here that's the "normal" side, eating the homophobia jesus chicken is the minority.

Of course, all of the lgbt people I know eat also there, so I don't feel the need to be performative about it, my friends won't deride me for going they'll ask for de-ride there.

[–] [email protected] -2 points 9 months ago

It’s because the jesus is fresh with every meal, christian’s really eat that shit up

[–] [email protected] -2 points 9 months ago

Their fries didn't even have salt when I tried them

[–] [email protected] -3 points 9 months ago

It is pretty much the pinnacle of "white people fried chicken". American KFC (because Asian KFC is godlike) comes close but so many people never grew up beyond eating chicken tenders and bones scare them.

So you have inadequately seasoned chicken tenders soaked in pickle juice and people lose their minds.

And the strong focus on Christian Values, err, "Good service" means that nobody will ever be faced with the horror that is the realization that their satisfaction is not the only reason that someone is working in fast food.
