That's just a lie...
The food is good, for "fast" food it's amazing. Like, I don't think there's another fastfood option that hasn't fully transition to the mcChicken method were the patty is reconstituted scraps.
Their politics with LGBTQ is (was?) absolute dog shit and more than enough reason to boycott them as an isolated issue...
But honestly looking at any other aspect of their company, and they're one of the most worker friendly options. Which again, is not a high bar to clear, especially in fast food.
So if anyone is boycotting Chick-fil-A, they have valid reasons. It's just damn near every other option is even worse, so if they have consistent logic their boycott list is every major corporation. Like, the owner has 10 billion dollars, no billionaire owned company is going to be ethical. If someone's only issue with Chick-fil-A is the anti-lgbt stuff, that doesn't mean they're a good person, it means they only care about the demographic they consider "us".
But again; saying they're food isn't good is just a flat out lie.
You like their food (objective, so there's no "lying" around that), and so excuse their politics. I get it, it's like separating the artist from the art. Lots of people pay to see Tom Cruise movies, or now to see Ed Sheeran, or maybe Bill Burr.
Some people don't.
What the fuck are you talking about?
I said compared to every other fastfood place that uses processed chicken patties, it's good.
The other point you e completely missed:
How the fuck is "So if anyone is boycotting Chick-fil-A, they have valid reasons" defending chicfila's politics?!
I'm saying boycotting them is valid
But only boycotting them is illogical
This part:
If you want to make another thread about how you want to boycott all fast food restaurants, go ahead and do that. No one is stopping you.
Saying that boycotting chic fil alone out of all the fast food companies is illogical, in a comment thread about the specific harms they're doing, is defending them by throwing up a smoke screen. "They're all bad". Ok... But bringing that up here is diverting the conversation. Which i am participating in...
