I agree that's it's very tasty. I enjoy a #1 combo there from time to time (1180 Calories, 49 grams fat, 1665mg sodium, 74g sugar, no fruit or vegetables) - and that's for a medium combo without a drink refill.

It's not healthy food whatsoever though.

They have the free speech and choice to say and do what they please, as well as other people have that protected as well.
It's a franchise.

On another note, what were the mayors in some of these towns thinking when they chose not to close schools and roads?

Just because you generally make poor choices doesn't mean everyone does.

Healthy Fast Food Meal No. 1. Grilled Chicken Sandwich and Fruit Cup (Chick-fil-A)

Several fast food chains offer a grilled chicken sandwich. The trick is ordering it without mayo or creamy sauce, and making sure it’s served with a whole grain bun.

One of the healthier grilled chicken sandwiches out there is made by Chick-fil-A. Grilled chicken sandwiches at Carl’s Jr., Wendy’s, and McDonald’s are close seconds. The Carl’s Jr. sandwich comes with BBQ sauce, while the Wendy’s sandwich includes a calorie-friendly honey mustard sauce. Make sure you order the McDonald’s sandwich without mayonnaise.

Nutritional breakdown: A Chick-fil-A Chargrilled Chicken Sandwich (without the honey-roasted BBQ sauce), along with a large fruit cup, has 400 calories, 3.5 grams fat (8% calories from fat), 1 g saturated fat, 0 g trans fat, 55 mg cholesterol, 1120 mg sodium, 65 g carbohydrate, 6 g fiber, and 30 g protein.

Generally speaking it's not the mayors that make the decisions. That said, weather prediction is hit and miss. The ice wasn't predicted in many areas.

Saturday night, it was suppose to be snow. By sunday morning, it was heavy snow and sleet. By Sunday night alot of stations were saying they temperatures would be cold enough to not only have ice but to sustain it throughout the day on tuesday, but melt by wednesday.

turns out they were all wrong because this crap is going to last through tomorrow. The rain/sleet/snow mix came later in the day meaning it didnt have time to melt before the temperature started to drop and just for a reference point i live 30 miles from the Gulf and our roads are still iced over. I cant imagine how wrong they could have been as far north as Atlanta.

Side note, the sand on the beach was frozen over, never seen that before.

I don't generally make poor choices. I eat fast food maybe twice a month. And when I do I don't pretend it's healthy.

"Healthy Fast Food" still isn't healthy. And honestly, how many people at Chick-fil-A order a grilled chicken sandwich sans sauce with a side of (processed) fruit?

It's what my daughter orders. I generally get the spicy Chicken and nobody forces you to upsize and drink two coke's. Chick Fila isn't responsible for your bad choices.

My point is nothing at a fast food restaurant is truly healthy. To talk about "healthy fast food" is idiotic.
