:rotfl: Chick-Fil-A’s nutritional numbers are worse than the ones I provided - they show 440 calories per sandwich, 16 grams of fat, and 1,400 mg of sodium!.
As though you dictate what everyone at Chick-Fil-A will purchase.
:rotfl:

The facts are available.

Anyone can search out the worst nutrition or the best.
And still provide support for a company that is taking heat for support of traditional marriage.

The standard there is the ordinary chicken sandwich, and that’s not good for you. Sure, people can purchase what they like - and you can see it in the size of their rear ends. Obesity is an epidemic among Americans and Cathy’s food feeds that obesity.

I’ll bet that your wife can provide your family with far more nutritional chicken dishes – and at less cost than eating at some chain restaurant.

I was overweight and have lost 50 lbs in the last 6 months on my way to losing 100. I have nothing but contempt for chains like Chick-Fil-A and all those others whose stock in trade is fat and sodium.
 
No red herring at all. What do you think most patrons of that place order? The nutritionally sound options or the regular chicken sandwich?
Well, I since it would appear that you cannot look past whatever is top most in the menu, you may just want to accept the poor nutrition choice.
Perhaps go for a long walk afterwards.

As for everyone else, they have tools online, nutition info posted in the store, and a menu encompassing both good and bad nutritional choices.

I do not care to speculate as to the final purchase of the patrons.

If you have access to their sales data, perhaps you could post it for us.
We could end the speculation right there.

Hah! The “poor nutrition choice” is their standard offering - the breaded chicken cutlet.

Do you doubt that most folks prefer the higher fat, saltier food items?

None so blind as those who will not see. You need only examine the nutritional data for their food items to see the data on their most popular food items. You don’t need sales figures.

BTW, why defend a chain restaurant? How about Ruby Tuesday or Olive Garden or the Cheesecake Factory?

Does Cathy also force the people to make these choices?
But before we answer that, we need to know what the sales figures are in order to determine if what you claim is true.
Do you have the sales figures?

I am overweight. I did it. No one forced my throat open and shoved high calorie desserts down my gullet.

It was my body, my money, my choices, and is my responsibility.
Holding any given restaurant in contempt for your own weight problems is illogical.
It also provides for an appearence that one does not wish to accept their own responsibility in their own decisions.

You need the sales figures if you are going to do any more then speculate.
I like facts. I am sure you do as well.
Although in this instance it seems you are avoiding them.

Are they likewise making public statements in support of traditional marriage?
 
Kudos and thanks to that business. We need to stand for our values on all fronts.

Because it is to be presumed that I’m a liar, right?

What are you doing about it? Not changing your life style for a healthier life?

Yes, there are people like that, and you can see what epidemic obesity means by standing in line behind them at any chain restaurant. I decided at the beginning of the year to change my life style so that I would be healthier, a lot lighter, more attractive, and more able to pursue my interests such as dancing. And, so I have, albeit with another 50 lbs to go.

If you think that chain restaurants with their high fat, high sodium, too often fried menu items don’t contribute to America’s weight problems, you are sorely mistaken.

I have no use for Cathy, or for the owners of any of the chain restaurants. Read “Eat This, Not That,” on Men’s Health website, and you’ll see what I mean.
 
Congratulations, Mr. Inspiration! CAF needs a Weight Loss Support forum. 😃
It would be good to have one. Not easy to change one’s lifestyle at the beginning, but sooner than one might think, it becomes automatic to choose the right things, and to make eating junk food a rare indulgence.

Perhaps you haven’t noticed, but the topic here is attack this chain has come under for their pro-family opinions and activities. This is why they are being defended. As to the attack on them that you bring for nutritional shortcomings, I can only say that in this society we are free to eat what we want, and as often as we want. Few things are harmful if taken in due measure.

If the restaraunts you mentioned were targeted for their Chrisitan values, I am sure they too would receive support.

We are free to eat ourselves to death. Indeed. It shows.

Moderation is always the right path, if a person can practice moderation. Have you ever gone to, for example, an all-you-can-eat Chinese restaurant and see how people load their plates? Bad enough to see obese young parents, but tragic to see kids blimping out, sometimes as young as 5. 😦
If the restaraunts you mentioned were targeted for their Chrisitan values, I am sure they too would receive support.
I’d hope not. Christian values and bad nutritional values don’t mix IMO.
 
So Rick, what does all this have to do with defending traditional marriage? How do you tie this stuff in?

Too many posters think that we should all go out and make a stop at Chick-Fil-A a regular occurrence. I think that’s wrong regardless what values the restaurant owner holds dear.

A good number of Irish-American Catholic bar and grill owners in NYC would presumably support traditional marriage. Ought I make stopping at a saloon a regular part of my week? You know, to thank them for supporting marriage between one man and one woman. 🤷

I vote “YES”, you should frequent these bar and grills to show your support. In light of your plea to “moderation”, just limit yourself to one shot of Jamison’s at each. 😃

I fail to see the issue unless you prefer bars that advocate same sex unions.

Had to smile at that “at each.” Years ago, in the Rockaways, there was a street whose name I foget, but which was probably a mile of wall-to-wall Irish saloons, complete with Irish music. Business was always brisk in the Summer.

It would have taken a lot of stamina to make the crawl and have just one Jamison’s “at each,” though there were those Men of Erin who tried it. A Polack like me was lucky to make it down one city block in the company of my Irish friends. 😃
