The snack wars have just gotten ugly
The snack wars have just gotten ugly. Up until now I've had a passing interest in the snack wars but this has gone too far. When Jim Henson pulled their toys from Chic Fil A due to Chic fil a(hole)'s stance on marriage equality, Chic Fill A decided to malign the Jim Henson company. I thought it was against Biblical teachings to be a bigot and a liar.

Here's some more links, it's not necessary that you follow them. I'm just posting some extra information. https://www.facebook.com/photo.php?fbid=...=1&theater

I have studied the Bible and the theology behind Christianity for many years. I have been to many churches. I have walked the depth and the breadth of the religion and, as a result of this, I have a lot of bullshit to scrape off the bottom of my shoes. ~Ziploc Surprise

This made me more hungry than outraged, did I miss the point?

Um, no. I think it is a requirement as a matter of fact.

I stopped eating at Chick-Fil-A two years ago after reading about the company's anti-gay stance. This is not really news, though I find it interesting that Henson took so long to sever the ties. Very likely an economic delay.

It's a shame. Their food tastes like shit except for their soup and waffle fries. Those kick ass. I'm not one to boycott everything but this one....well I might.

The other downer is that the establishment is full of Christians....wait, I live in the deep south, Christians are everywhere (Though Wal Mart is rather sparse on Sunday mornings). I'd say though that they seem a bit more Christianie at Chic Fil A(hole) than at other places.

They should worry more about making sure there is actual chicken in the shit they sell.

Those were pretty crappy toys anyhow, honestly. I could easily see some chubby little kid getting their fingers stuck in them.

This is a shame however, I just this week decided to give up going to Chik-fil-a for lunch over this mess. The one right down the road from my office is delicious & quick & has the best sweet tea of any fast food place I've been. If anyone from Chik-fil-a is reading this, you just lost a 3+ meals a week customer. I just don't feel right about giving you money & then you wasting it on Family First & their ilk.

Also, petitions.

I didn't realize that deep frying waffle cut potatoes required or was enhanced by homophobia.

I haven't eaten there since I found out about their anti-gay stances, which is a shame because that overpriced chicken is almost worth the money.
