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.
OR GO VEGAN. Just for a moment THINK about this. They are using antibiotics that WE need, to make your bloody nuggets. Try tomorrow to eat less meat.
No…they’re specifically using antibiotics we don’t need for people. It’s cool if you want to advocate for veganism, but make sure you’re being factually accurate when you do so if you want to be taken seriously.
Mostly true, but also the excessive use of antibiotics in animals reduces the efficacy of antibiotics in humans over time via resistance. So, kind of a distinction without a difference. I’m not a vegan, by the way, or even a vegetarian, but I do try to limit my meat intake for a number of reasons - ethical, environmental, nutritional, and medical.
I mean, in this case they claim to be using antibiotics that wouldn’t necessarily be useful to people which is probably true. However they would be useful for local bird populations to avoid getting the stronger strain of avian flu or whatever survives against the antibiotics.
Eat their lies
Vegan products claim to be free of all animal ingredients and animal by-products. The term “vegan” is not regulated by FDA but is understood to have certain meaning in the marketplace. It is possible that a trace amount of an animal product such as dairy could end up in a vegan product
Eat the lies, indeed.
Is that the best you can come up with? There maybe traces of animals in your food so ner? Mate, there maybe traces of vegetables in your food so your arteries might stand a chance!
The point wasn’t that there might be animal parts in the food. The point was that it’s ridiculous to say a term with a legal definition is a lie while advocating people replace it with a marketing term with no legal definition. But Har Har fat joke, I guess?
You don’t have to be fat to get clogged arteries from eating too much sausage Jimmy.
