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

I'm disappointed in all of you.

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.

New year, new semester, not the same old thing. This semester will be a semester to redeem all the mistakes made in the previous five months.

1. I will wake up (sorta) on time for class.

Let's face it, last semester you woke up with enough time to brush your teeth and get to class and even then you were about 10 minutes late and rollin' in with some pretty unfortunate bed head. This semester we will set our alarms, wake up with time to get ready, and get to class on time!

And so it begins.

1. Walk in motivated and ready to rock

Camping out at the library is not for the faint of heart. You need to go in as a warrior. You usually have brought supplies (laptop, chargers, and textbooks) and sustenance (water, snacks, and blanket/sweatpants) since the battle will be for an undetermined length of time. Perhaps it is one assignment or perhaps it's four. You are motivated and prepared; you don’t doubt the assignment(s) will take time, but you know it couldn’t be that long.

December... it's full of finals, due dates, Mariah Carey, and the holidays. It's the worst time of the year, but the best because after finals, you get to not think about classes for a month and catch up on all the sleep you lost throughout the semester. But what's worse than finals week is the last week of classes, when all the due dates you've put off can no longer be put off anymore.
