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.

    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.

        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?
