Has Chick-Fil-A Essentially BuFu'd Themselves?

The problem with nitpicking and finding EVERYTHING a CEO, or a company as a whole supports, gives money to, comments on... is you can do that to ANY corporation. ANY!

And find the same kind of dirt. Just different sides of the same coin.

I thought the same thing. Whatever fast food company someone chooses instead is going to have its share of issues as well. I remember a while ago when all the commotion started when it came out McD's was mowing down the rain forest for cattle grazing space to feed us all hamburgers.

And, because of bad publicity, the company changed their practices.

I heard a gay rights supporter on Democracy Now saying he supports their right to voice their opinion, but when they spend millions of their profits on taking away or blocking certain people's civil rights their customers deserve to know, and perhaps decide they don't want to spend their money there.

I am so over the idea we shouldn't pay attention to what these companies do, really. It's been over a year since I've spent a dime in Walmart, and I feel good about it.

My sister, the died in the wool meat eater, gave me some statistics that are worth understanding:


  • If all Americans did not eat meat for one day a week, they would save 99.6 megatons of greenhouse gas emissions. This would be the equivalent of removing 46 million round trip flights between Los Angeles and New York, or taking 19.2 million cars off the road for a full year.

  • If everyone in the US did not eat meat for two days a week, they would save 199 megatons of greenhouse gas emissions. This would have the same effect as replacing ALL household appliances in the US with energy efficient ones.


  • If all Americans did not eat meat for three days a week, they would save almost 300 megatons of greenhouse gas emissions. This would have a greater impact on the climate than replacing all US cars with Toyota Priuses.


  • If everyone in the US did not eat meat for four days a week, they would save 398 megatons of greenhouse gas emissions. This would be the carbon savings equivalent of cutting the use of all electricity, gas, oil, petroleum, and kerosene in the United States in half.


  • If all Americans abstained from eating meat for five days a week, they would save 498 megatons of greenhouse gas emissions. This would result in the carbon savings equivalent of planting 13 billion trees and letting them grow for ten years.


  • If all Americans did not eat meat for six days a week, they would save nearly 600 megatons of greenhouse gas emissions. This would be the equivalent of eliminating the total electricity use of all households in the United States.


  • And finally: If everyone in the United States ate a vegetarian diet for seven days, they would save around 700 megatons of greenhouse gas emissions. That would be the same as removing all the cars off the roads in the US.

So, when you think about questioning the effect the consumer can play in changing things, without the need for government intervention, think big.
