If you order a spicy chicken sandwich from Chick Fil A, you may think all you are getting are a few ingredients. The reality is that you are actually getting a sandwich with over 50 ingredients, with many of them being man made chemicals. There are preservatives, dyes, fillers, that are wreaking havoc on your immune system and gut micro biome. Plus this one sandwich from Chick Fil A is loaded with sodium, and has one of the highest levels of sodium than any other chicken sandwich from fast food brands. (over 1700mg!) Not only is the sandwich bad for you, but the company itself is a huge contributor to the decay of the environment with it’s high demand for chicken factory farms. These chickens are forced to live in almost unlivable habitats, never see the light of day, and are pumped with antibiotics to make them grow unnaturally large, in an unnaturally short time amount of time, just enough to live to their slaughter date. Recently, Chick Fil A has come out publicly about their decade long promise and will begin using some antibiotics in its chicken, reversing its 2014 decision to use none. Here’s the link straight from their website. (https://www.chick-fil-a.com/our-chicken-commitment) These chickens when consumed by us, can give us a boat load of side effects to contribute to our harm rather than our health.
To add fuel to the fire, their ethos and corporate practices for being against LGBTQ+, and their donations to anti-gay organizations have been causing such a harmful environment for their customers and their employees for years. Your best bet is to skip the drive through, and make this at home!
