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.

"In a statement to Reuters, Chick-fil-A said the policy change was due to challenges it foresees finding chicken supplies that "meets our rigid standards.""

So, clearly, the solution is "lower your standards"? 🤔

Stop spending so much on homophobia

If you could get them to ignore their "moral compass" you could save them $4,416

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

[–] reddig33@lemmy.world 74 points 2 years ago (4 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.

First off, remember it's fast food, standards are abysmal.

But it's an actual piece of chicken, that's actually prepared correctly.

If you got it in a sit down restaurant or even pub, you wouldn't comment on it.

But compare it to any other chicken sandwich you could get from a drive thru in the last 20 years and the hype makes sense.

No matter where you are, if you see a chicfila you know you'll get a decent chicken sandwich that isn't ridiculously expensive.

A burger place isn't going to do chicken as well as a dedicated chicken place, and KFC is a joke, so the only real competition for that niche is Popeyes on a national level.

[–] helpme@sh.itjust.works 18 points 2 years ago

I guess you can still call it good but they switched to Tyson on the East Coast like 10 years ago and yeah it's bland and generic.

[–] someguy3@lemmy.ca 10 points 2 years ago

KFC in North America could learn a thing or two from KFC in China. It's their McDonald's.

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.

Just tell your customers you upped the Jesus in every sandwich and they'll overlook everything else.

Fuck chick fil a. Since I worked there back in 2015, they've cut portion sizes by almost a third and raised priced by almost 50%.

I call bullshit. You can source antibiotic free chicken if you'll pay for it, they're just trying to extract more profit again.

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.
