Chick-fil-A Faces a Conservative Revolt

Chick-fil-A faces a conservative revolt

The popular restaurant has gone "woke" for a new focus on diversity, equity and inclusion, according to critics.

www.newsweek.com

"Chick-fil-A is receiving an onslaught of conservative ire after the company's Diversity, Equity and Inclusion (DEI) initiative spread across social media."

LOL

I would love to see them 'cancelled', but not for political reasons. Their chicken sandwich is unhealthy, bland and unappetizing. The waffle fries are just as bad and unhealthy. For Chick-fil-a, I wish every day was Sunday

Seriously? I'm in Canada so I've never had the pleasure but I've always heard ASTOUNDING things about chickfila sandwhiches.

I think it's HILARIOUS how TERRIFIED Conservatives are of anything leading towards affirming diversity and including others; Especially when it's something they LOOOOOOVE (think buddy light as well).

I had them once, and they where good. I would love for them to be more diverse and drop their support of anti-LGTB groups.

As it is now, they are on the bottom of my list of fast food....

Well, their sandwiches are unhealthy. I don't like them so I do not patronize them. But this initiative seems good imho.

It is a deep fried chicken breast on a bun with 2 pickle slices. That's it!

"I will only buy chicken sandwiches from vendors who support my homogenous group." Weirdos. I think they should stay home and eat bologna sandwiches on white bread. Only those who are truly cosmopolitan and love humanity will enjoy the tasty goodness of difference! :ebil:

I had their chicken. It was very good; and the service was excellent for a fast food operation.

There seems to be no shortage of customers for the one near me. The line for the drive thru, extends outside of the parking lot for the strip mall, and down the street past the intersection, and even cuts off the on ramp to the road, creating a dangerous grid lock traffic jam.

Could it be that closet homosexual cowboys are celebrating with Christian chicken to go?

Totally disagree with the important points in this post. Their sandwiches are phenomenally tasty and good. Regarding health they are fine to eat if balanced with other less calorie and fat dense meals during the rest of the day.

At least here on the West Coast their business strategy mirrors In-n-Out Burgers. Do not over build. The result is that there are always lines. I suspect they also have decent prices.

Fried chicken with 2 pickle slices on a bun does not sound all that good to me.

Here we go again. The same people who rail against whatever they create in their minds what wokism means, who detest cancel culture, then say "hold my beer (certainly not Bud Lights) and watch some real woke cancellations."

As a trained chef, I tend to lay off the garbage. But I have no issue with anybody wasting their money on fast food. Enjoy!

Mortadella is much better than bologna

You can take a stand against their homophobia amid rainbow capitalism, but pretending the sandwich isn’t a banger is completely unnecessary. As far as fast food goes you can’t do much better.

Is it? I'll have to try it. Honestly, if someone offered me fried bologna (thick) and cheese on a bun or a chik-fil-a sandwich, it would cause me to pause and think. Throw in some salt and vinegar chips; I'm choosing the fried bologna and will worry about my high blood pressure later.

Best Spicy Chicken sandwich. Add lettus, tomato, and Mayo. Yum.
Sad if they go woke on us. I believe in being fair and diverse, but not woke. Wokeness awards "rights" to groups with what should be defined as preferences.

Mortadella is the king of bologna!

Seeing a sandwich shop and LGBT in the same thread makes me think of a BLT .. mmm bacon ...

The sodium level of one chick-fil-a is 1460 mg. the recommended daily intake is (no higher than) 2300mg. Their Cobb Salad has 2220 mg! That is not healthy to eat. Half of all American adults have hypertension, and diet high in sodium is a major factor.

But you go ahead and eat a couple of sandwiches a day, with a Cobb Salad - it is your body

That's just it, though; they're not explicitly supporting LGBTQ issues from what I'm reading. It's just general diversity, and yet some folks are upset about that.

I love a BLT. Swine is fine with me. I just made some the other day so I could have bacon grease for all the collards I've grown. I'm good on eating greens for a bit.
