The Chick-fil-A Diet As Told By a Chick-fil-A Employee

I'm disappointed in all of you.

The Chick-fil-A Diet As Told By a Chick-fil-A Employee
RestaurantsFastFood.blogspot.com

As I sit back and watch the country rip Chick-fil-A to pieces for a comment on a takeout bag that's really just been misunderstood, I can't help but laugh.

Y'all seriously think it says to eat nuggets for every single meal?

The bag itself says this:


"Kick off the New Year by adding one healthy habit to your routine. Here's a good one: Eat smaller meals (like an 8-count pack of grilled nuggets) every three to four hours."

AND YOU SERIOUSLY THINK IT MEANS NUGGETS FOR EVERY MEAL???

The company is simply suggesting meals of the same size/nutritional value as grilled nuggets, and y'all, this idea is not new. They're playing off the old idea that eating five or six small meals throughout the day is better for you than three large ones. Is there any real proof this is healthier? Not exactly. It's still a widely debated topic. But the fact remains that Chick-fil-A is not saying: "Eat our nuggets literally all day long!" They're saying something more like: "Eat foods that are healthy for you five or six times a day--maybe one of those meals could be an 8-count grilled nuggets!"

One of the arguments against this little sentence is that the grilled nuggets aren't as tasty as the classic pressure-fried nuggets. But as an employee of Chick-fil-A, who gets free food every time I work, I've had some serious time to try out the menu and let me tell you--the grilled nuggets are FREAKING AWESOME. Recently I've been cutting my diet down to less fatty and unhealthy foods. Grilled nuggets are still in the game. Yeah, I get it for free and not everyone else does, but it does help me still have something to eat when I do go to Chick-fil-A. The nuggets are a lot healthier than the #1 Classic Chicken Sandwich, or the #6 Chicken Strips.

Yet another argument is that the fries are irresistible, so it doesn't matter if you get the grilled nuggets anyway. False. You are a human being with your own conscience. Chick-fil-A does not control your mind when you walk through the door. You chose to go there, you can choose to get a cup of fruit or a yogurt parfait with granola or the new Superfood Side (which is only 140 calories itself).

So what am I saying? It's simple--y'all have slipped back to a reading level that is negative beyond your years and misunderstood the side of this bag to say something ridiculous and blown it up to a national phenomenon. Come on, y'all, has Chick-fil-A ever acted like this before with its food?

Seriously, people, it's like you guys can't even read.

To My Loving Boyfriend,

  • Thank you for all that you do for me
  • Thank you for working through disagreements with me
  • Thank you for always supporting me
  • I appreciate you more than words can express
  • You have helped me grow and become a better person
  • I can't wait to see where life takes us next
  • I promise to cherish every moment with you
  • Thank you for being my best friend and confidante
  • I love you and everything you do

To start off, here's something I don't say nearly enough: thank you. Thank you, thank you, thank you from the bottom of my heart. You do so much for me that I can't even put into words how much I appreciate everything you do - and have done - for me over the course of our relationship so far. While every couple has their fair share of tiffs and disagreements, thank you for getting through all of them with me and making us a better couple at the other end. With any argument, we don't just throw in the towel and say we're done, but we work towards a solution that puts us in a greater place each day. Thank you for always working with me and never giving up on us.

We always have new families joining the community but honestly, the majority of the town is filled with people who never leave (high school alumni) and elders who have raised their kids here. Around the town, there are some just some landmarks and places that only the people of Hauppauge will ever understand the importance or even the annoyance of.
