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.
This is a good move. It keeps the chickens healthier, which is good for them, the people who raise them, and the supply chain who depend on them.
Yeah, totally, just giving chickens the free range space to live healthily in the first place is definitely the inferior choice. You nailed it.
Do you want antibiotic-resistant diseases? Because this is how you get antibiotic-resistant diseases.
