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.

    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.

      No it doesn’t. It’s just generally immensely popular.

          Yep. It was popular before that information was spread far and wide. After the information spread a certain group of people are now die hard fans.
