Why don’t I feel gross after eating Chick Fil A?

The exact same reason you don't feel bad eating a 3,000 calorie meal in a French restaurant despite the fact that there is a pound of butter and a pint of cream in your dish but I guarantee you would feel "gross" after eating the same amount of fat and calories in a soul food restaurant.

The French restaurant uses train chefs, technique and the finest ingredients. Soul food is poverty food, low qualify ingredients, fried, lots of salt, almost always prepared by a self-taught cook. Peach cobbler in a soul food restaurant is literally a huge can of peaches dumped into a pan with a mix of flour and sugar dumped on top and baked. Wow, such skill.

WTF is wrong with you. I hope you are old.
There are high-end Soul Food Restaurants.

I think it’s the beef, dairy and fries. My kids love happy meals so I go to McDonald’s sometimes. I find if I just order a crispy chicken sandwich, I feel fine. After a burger and fries though, I feel heavy and bloated the rest of the day. At chick fil a, I usually get nuggets and a salad and I feel fine.

In fact, my dh and I just had CFA and both had diarrhea the next day. So it happens. I rarely eat any fast food and usually have the same reaction no matter what I eat.

The title is “Why DON’T I feel gross”

FYI if fast food gives you the runs it’s the same day. Not the next day.

You don't feel gross because you were hungry and you ate food. That's what it is - food.

People need to stop moralizing food.
