tell your mom that chicken in the US cannot legally be sold with any added hormones. and if she’s worried about antibiotics tell her that there’s nothing in their system at the time of slaughter. these things are monitored by the FDA and USDA sincerely, an ag major

she is just a typical mom, a lot of food sold in america is banned in our home country for safety/health concerns so like i said if i avoided everything she's worried about i'd die here, so ofc didn't take to heart. she just harped on the chicken for whatever reason. i find it silly but i just brushed it off, i'm visiting my country rn so not much use correcting her when she'll never have to eat the food 😅

i think it's moreso that in a lot of our country's imports a lot of beef is banned for containing traces of ractopamine and she conflated it with chicken since they're considered pretty freakishly big 💀. just an almond mom type mentality i didn't really bother to start an argument over, ate my food and brushed it off lol

okay it makes way more sense when you explain she’s not from here / in america so of course she wouldn’t know our precautions and laws surrounding added hormones and antibiotics

i said our home country in my post cuz we're not american. i still eat the food otherwise like i said i would waste away, our home country just has much stricter regulations after major scandals so she was being silly. it wasn't about being unsafe
