I always thought it was a joke.

I guess it's not much past being a joke.
Seriously, though...that's what I thought. WTF?
I guess it won't be difficult for me to boycott them...

4But Cronk added that while many in the gay community already choose not to eat at Chick-fil-A, the latest statements may influence "some of our straight allies who may decide to go somewhere else."
No shit.

9It's a fucking chicken sandwich with too much corn syrup in the breading. It has always astounded me how popular that crap is. I think chic fila's popularity is the second biggest problem with this country after TV.

12Corn syrup?
I despise Chick-Fil-A's policies (at least) as much as the next guy, but the chicken sandwich is tasty and clearly has no corn syrup in the breading. (Confirmed at their web site.) I can't even imagine what a breading with corn syrup would be like.

In a bacon, egg and cheese sandwich the chicken and cow are involved while the pig is committed.

14Then why is it so sweet? Maybe it's real sugar. Maybe it's in the "bread". Who cares, it's crap and barely qualifies as food IMO.

20One of my friends told me about her aunt getting stuck with her hoveround! I guess she got it up against a wall and the thing left burn marks on her carpet because she couldn't operate the thing correctly. Haha! I laughed so much at that.

Re: I just learned today that Chick-fil-A is a real company
23Hey Mason, I generally agree about fast food as a whole, but have you tried something other than their original chicken sandwich? The grilled chicken on a whole wheat bun is very good. And for kids food, its one of the few fast food places that has decent options - grilled chicken nuggets (as opposed to their also yummy fried ones), they can get that with a cup of mixed fruit and a container of milk. They could have a cup of chicken noodle soup - only 4g of fat. And their chicken is actually chicken, not pressed chicken meat. Don't get me wrong, its not the most amazing thing ever but it has been a nice alternative when we are traveling and in a hurry.
I have never heard much out of them about their politics. I figured they were right wing zealots but I slso figured if the family wanted to contribute their money to whatever cause, that was their right - as long as the business didn't stick its nose in politics I could rationalize giving them my food. Obviously, I can't eat there anymore knowing how much they give to right wing causes. And, for me, its a loss.
But for the record, I like their original sandwich. It has 6g of sugar. WAY less than a bowl of granola :p
