You’re right, they have a similar vibe.
Yucky is the fried chicken at Chick, Red Beans and Rice is real food as Popeye’s has.
IF you like that amount of salt on your food have at it
Not sure of the intent of the post. I’ve never heard of a Church’s serving anything but chicken since I was a kid and grew up a block away from Mr. Church’s first location in San Antonio.
Chicken, like oil, is fungible. I still drive a car, even though the petroleum products may be derived from Arabia.
TRUE! And, they haven't gone halal. Kudos to CFA ... for standing up for principle(s). CFA is the ONLY drive thru/fast food we will order.
I’d rather the profits on the chicken not go to Saudis. Chicken as a raw material may be fungible, but as sold in a fast-food restaurant it is a product, it is not particularly fungible, and choices consumers make do matter.
It’s not on the menu, but you can get CFA to make you a chicken and egg breakfast biscuit. Recommended.
May we assume you no longer buy gasoline?
The profits of imported oil are much more directly involved with Islamic governments supporting sharia than chicken sold by a private investment company.
Most people buy lots of products from China which is still a Communist state and in some cases uses prison labor (which amounts to slave labor) for manufacturing processes of products.
If we are going to applaud the owners of Chick Fil A for practices which are guided by deeply held religious beliefs, then rationally we should allow other private companies to do the same.
However, spending our own money for a product is a private decision. I don’t buy Citgo gas because it is wholly owned by the Venezuelan government and I can identify it as directly supporting a government which I despise.
You missed the point entirely on fungibility in the retail product space, and then turn around and point out one. I don’t buy Citgo either.
