Chicken-fried Politics

[poppy]

You might want to avoid Publix, lots of cult like following there.

Publix stubbornly refuses to support the Fair Food Program.

I certainly don't think I'm sacrificing my quality of life by limiting my chicken options by avoiding establishments with a creepy cult-like following.

all Major and independent Gas stations have cult followings.....this should stop you within a few days.

None creepy as far as I can tell.

If you think about it, all oil and gasoline is produced by huge profit-driven corporations with no thought to protecting the environment. If we all boycotted them (and I find them kind of creepy) we would all be creeping...

I personally am not aware of people cheerleading for Tom Thumb as though it's some sort of righteous holy ground. For me and I think most of us, buying gasoline is a pure business transaction and our alternatives are limited. Atmosphere means atleast something when it comes to restaurants, not so much when filling the tank, using the bathroom, and buying rubbers. There are plenty delicious healthy food options to Chick Fil A. Maybe I don't know what I'm missing, but as I said, at this point in my life, the allure isn't there. My fast food days are winding down, though I am going to give Panda Express a shot just out of curiousity. Any dirt on the Panda?

Panda is a dirty little secret...like Taco Bell at 2am. It isn't bad fir what it is.

I have no doubt he is a nice man, but later that same year when the SCOTUS struck down DOMA Mr. Cathy tweeted, "Sad day for our nation; founding fathers would be ashamed of our gen. to abandon wisdom of the ages re: cornerstone of strong societies..."

I'm not taking a side on this one way or another, but Mr. Cathy's remarks are the privilege of being a private company much as the same as Hobby Lobby's stance and subsequent Supreme Court case on having to pay for abortions due to Obama Care. They own it. They can say what they want.

Regardless of that, while Mr. Cathy's remarks surely pissed off a lot of folk it also generated boat loads of support. Their restaurants were packed to the gills after all that. I can't find any evidence that it had any impact on their bottom dollar. I have a friend who owns one of the busiest ones in Atlanta. He said there was no negative effect.

No one is claiming he can't say what he wants and no one is trying to put them out of business so I fail to see your point on Chic-fil-A. On Hobby Lobby you are so far off the facts we'll just leave that one alone.

Thought Panda Express was kind of bland.

Really, that's the worst thing you can say about Asian food. It should never be bland. There is really no excuse for that. I still have to try it.
