Which means all chicken on sale have been raised using "antibiotics". If you want drug free chicken, then go kienyeji chicken.
And I doubt if burger king kenya raise the chicken they sell since many franchises buy from Kenchick among others.
Antibiotics
DO NOT KILL VIRUSES AND OTHER FLUS. they are used to kill bacteria. The debate in the US is that, the chickens have been fed on so much antibiotics which is 1. killing the good bacteria in humans 2. Making humans resistant to the common antibiotics mostly prescribed by docs.
Are antibiotics essential, yes to kill bad bacteria in chickens. Is there any other way of doing the same, yes by using probiotics instead, keeping hatcheries clean, feeding chicken with more plant based foods. And others I might not be aware of. Read more online
Are there probiotics in Kenya....highly unlikely, but again, I may not know. Probiotics are very beneficial to humans too. If you have a sickly child--homa homa or stuff like eczema ask your doc if he's heard of any . Ofcourse, its good to uliza google and get info from reputable sources. But....
ask your doc. "There are only two emotions in the market, hope & fear. The problem is you hope when you should fear & fear when you should hope: - Jesse Livermore
