I don't eat too often at Longhorn...but we HAVE socialized at Olive Garden and had family dinners at Red Lobster MANY times. Not any more. Darden is getting a note from us...maybe even a snail mail letter, telling them I will no longer spend my money at their establishments.
Why? Because their embrace of government intervention into my choices is repugnant.
what are they doing?
Huh? Sustainability and diversity are more likely to appeal to Food Network types than to the Feds.
Foro those of us who may be ill informed—what are you talking about?
Thanks for posting. We all should let these folks know what we think about this. Call now.
Thanks for the tip. A big Zafat Zero for Darden.

I’ll tell my secretary, “No more office fairwell luncheons at OG”.....
Sorry, basil. I should have provided a link to the story...here it is:

I tend to avoid all these listed restaurants anyway, but now I'll make a deliberate effort to never darken their doorways.

Oh, shoot. And someone just gave my wife an Olive Garden gift card for her birthday.
At least you're not using your own money! Go ahead and mangia, one last time.
Perhaps you could send it to the address in the first post?
Thanks—but you forgot the barf alert! LOL!
Long ago, I pretty much quit eating out—and this is just another reason to break the habit.
Well, he can’t help it. He is a racist.
With all the choices for dining out, boycotting Darden is certainly a personal choice one could easily make, but from reading the comments it seems that most boycotts are grounded in anti-Obama feelings rather than what Darden is doing.
Seasons 52 is a very nice upscale restaurant that has long featured entrees below 500 calories, and they did this way before Obama’s food nanny efforts. My wife and I eat there a lot and will continue to do so.
We will miss Red Lobster, but that’s about it. I’ve quit eating salt years ago for the most part.
