P.S. In my family, we refer to them as “Chik-A-Fil” . . . since that’s what they do . . .

I’m TOTALLY down with the Waffle House recommendation (though having grown up in that part of the world, I note that they should be referred to as “Awful House,” and you should only go to the ones where you can still smoke a Winston and eat your flat, burnt waffle [with pecans] at the same time) . . . but I have to say that while I am totally on the side of the anti-Chick Fil-A folks from a philosophical and moral standpoint, this debate has done nothing but make me crave the salty pressed chicken sandwiches I used to scarf down with aplomb in high school before going to Putt Putt Golf or the video arcade at the mall to bust my best moves . . . which I had totally forgotten about until the current kerfuffle. Am I very wrong?!?

Kev, they make decaf versions that are very tasty.

In all seriousness, though, it’s similar to my shopping at Hobby Lobby although the company donates to some causes I’m not terribly fond of. At the same time, they make no attempt to hide what they’re about and who they donate to, even taking out huge, Jesus-riffic ads on holidays in the local papers where they have stores. The tiny portion of the $5 I spend on some of their house-brand yarn you can’t get elsewhere that they’re sending to Oral Roberts University, well, I can offset that by donating to the national Secular Student Alliance organization.

I agree with it all. I’ve NEVER eaten at Chik-Fil-A , as far as I know, but it wasn’t a theological, philosophical decision; it’s just fat away. Yeah, I avoid Wal-Mart, too, though, I’ve been dragged there thrice in the past decade.

My problem with Cathy is not his views, it’s the money he uses to express his views. I’d avoid going there myself, but that has to be an individual choice.

You gotta make your choices. I loath Walmart and I still shop there.

I also can’t help using oil and the number of very real human right abuses that funds everywhere from Texas to Saudi Arabia makes me pretty sad.

Then again… I’m a vegetarian. So, I don’t think Chick-fil-A will notice if I boycott them… :-D
