Complacency is a Poison Taken One Drop at a Time - I'm Saying 'Enough' to Chick-fil-A

Mar 26, 2024

When Chick-fil-A first opened in my state, people raved about the purity of the food. I admit, I was impressed with my first meal there – the chicken nuggets were actually chicken! But then I saw the ingredients in their famed Chick-fil-A sauce. Ugh. It’s full of high fructose corn syrup. To me, this was a compromise of quality. Still, people told me they were otherwise a healthy place to eat, and one can just avoid the sauce. They use peanut oil instead of seed oils for deep frying (seed oils = highly inflammatory), and repeatedly I was told, “They don’t serve chicken that’s been injected with anti-biotics.”

The latter may have been true, but it’s true no longer. Under pressure to keep up with demand, Chick-fil-A recently shifted its quality standards and they are now buying chicken that may have been treated with antibiotics. Again, ugh.

The company is now implementing "No Antibiotics Important To Human Medicine" (NAIHM) chicken. We’re told this restricts the use of antibiotics important to human medicine, and it allows for animal antibiotics “only if the animal or those around it become sick.”

I get it. They’re concerned that the amount of “clean” chicken in the supply chain won’t be able to meet customer demand.

Maybe – just maybe – the clean-chicken shortage exists because there’s been so many chickens going up in flames in the recent spat of “accidental” fires.

Whatever the reason, the fact remains: Chick-fil-A has lowered their standards.

Between that and their sideways slide into supporting woke causes through their foundation, the company has fallen far from the standards once set by their late owner, Dan Cathy.

I’m guessing the woke crowd won’t be bothered eating high fructose corn syrup on antibiotic-tainted chicken. But I’ll be bothered. This is just another step on the path of trashing America’s food supply.

Take a look at pictures of crowds from the 1960’s and 1970’s, then look at pictures of crowds today. You will notice that waist sizes are drastically larger now. What’s changed? That which gets sold as food in America. And it’s not just our waistlines. Sixty years ago we didn’t have the amount of autism we see today, nor the increasing percentage of people who have cancer.

And sixty years ago, our food was much more natural.

I’m not saying, “Don’t eat at Chick-fil-A anymore.”

I’m saying I won’t be eating at Chick-fil-A anymore.

Complacency is a poison taken one drop at a time. The food industry has fed us little changes over time … and decades later they are huge changes. At some point we must say, “enough,” or the poison’s job will be complete.
