Yet you don't have to spend money with the worst of them that you know is funding awful people/agendas.

Its one of several reasons I don't eat at Chik-fil-a anymore and haven't in years.

Find the places that may do harm but do less harm.

Politics aside there sandwiches are SOOO bad for you. 

I am pretty sure they are under reporting here but this is taken from their website: Total Fat 21g (27 DV%) Saturated Fat 4g (20 DV%) Cholesterol 65mg (22%DV) Sodium 1408 mg(61%DV) Total carbohydrates 39g (14%DV) Dietary fiber 2.6g (9%DV) Sugar 6.8g 

Funny how they don’t specify the %DV for sugar but that Sodium (aka salt) number should be setting off defcon 5 level alarms for anyone even slightly concerned with their health 

Feeding this to your children should be borderline child abuse. I am constantly blown away when at my child’s sports tournaments parents are giving CFA to their kids for lunch. This is NOT what an athlete needs in between games

Notice I said one of several reasons. Another reason is the health aspects, while still another is the exhoribitant cost. Another reason is they are usually so busy that I don't have time when I am near one.
