But what many don’t know is that Chick-fil-A is far from atypical in fast food. Many chains have roots in two pillars of 20th-century conservatism: Christianity and free markets.

Maybe the best illustration of these roots came on Christmas Eve, 1987. Richard Snyder, then chief executive of his family’s chain In-N-Out Burger, heard its jingle on the radio. “In-N-Out: That’s what a hamburger’s all about!” Snyder, a born-again Christian, decided the song needed something more. Instead of temptingly describing the juiciness of a Double-Double burger or the smooth sweetness of a vanilla milkshake, Snyder decided to add a question: “Wouldn’t you like salvation in your life?”

2. Peddle crap to the masses on Sunday...

...keep peddling crap to the masses all week long.

Makes perfect sense to me.

3. Why is it....

that these "christian" fast- food purveyors want to poison Americans with their "food"? When one of their "meals" contains far more calories and fat than a person should consume in an entire day, it seems they have some sort of vendetta against their customers.

Oh sure, they'll say that the customer should be in charge of what they consume, but why do they package and advertise "meal deals" that go far beyond what a healthy person should consume?

Just more "christian" bullshit. Preach one thing, but do something completely different. At the end of the day they're really worshipping the almighty dollar. That's their real god.
