Chick-fil-a is an awful alternative - they fund LGBTQ oppression.

But they are delicious and a great alternative to pizza. So worth considering depending on how much you consider their political affiliation a detriment. When living in Atlanta I personally loved it when local meetups skipped pizza and got Chick-fil-A or something else instead. As to the GP’s goal of healthier, I’m not sure if Chick-fil-A really hits that goal, haha.

In the context of this site, I assume pizza is a placeholder, an MVP. If this turns out to actually be a useful service, non-pizza food is an obvious avenue to grow into.

That's an awfully dishonest way to describe and frame their donations.

If you've ever donated to the Salvation Army, you too "fund LGBTQ oppression".

I mean, that's true as well. How is it (in your eyes) dishonest?

To me, it’s dishonest because it presents a small aspect as a primary driver without giving proper context. So it was frustrating to me because I had to spend time researching the potential issue to learn it is a very insignificant aspect that I don’t think was worthy of my time.

It’s like posting “Don’t eat ground beef as it is full of rat feces.” any time someone posts about hamburgers.

It’s true that the FDA allows a small amount of fat feces in ground beef, and all food [0].

But it’s really insignificant and almost always irrelevant to the conversation.

Too bad there's no Chick-fil-a close to where I live.
