[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I hear they are good but have never eaten there. We go to McDonalds and others a couple times a month but a chicken-only place doesn't appeal much to me. The whole story brings up challenging questions about corporations, profits and our interconnected, globalized economy. For instance, I buy my electricity from PEPCO and they turn around and give much of it to generating companies, which means COAL generating companies. I'm sure that a lot of my money ends up with American Legislative Exchange Council (ALEC), which cranks out awful conservative legislation to be pushed by their "friends" in state legislatures. How much of my electric bill ends up with ALEC? How many anti-Obama TV ads am I paying for? Who knows. The situation with Chick-Fil-A is just a visible ripple in an invisible ocean of corporate money washing over our government. [/quote] Maybe, but change has to start somewhere. BTW if you want, you can elect to buy energy from a company that does not use coal. PEPCO offers this and then they buy energy from green(er) generators based on the number of households participating. In theory, if every household elected to do it PEPCO would run coal-free. So if this is important to you, make a change.[/quote]
