They gave us the recipe for coleslaw attached to the bag a week or two ago.
I dislike kale and hate broccolini.

Seriously, who goes there for kale and broccoli? I can eat that crap at home  . They best not mess with the waffle fries. |

I will agree that when I'm at a fried chicken place, I'm not there for health reasons.  Bring on the cole slaw! |

I love their Cobb salad, but I can't stand kale, so no way am I trying that. Blech.

That was funny. I never had their Cole Slaw. After reading her review, I wish I could try the slaw. The salad just doesn't look appetizing to me. Really, all things in moderation is my motto. Fried nuggets, waffle fries and a chocolate shake, coleslaw, if you wish is okay.

I haven't been to Chick Fil A but this was still funny. We have one now but I won't ever go since I don't like to mix business with morals or politics. They claim they are going to stop mixing it but I just don't care enough to try it since I seldom eat chicken anyhow.

Last time I went to Chick Fil A I realized they had started posting the calories next to the items and that totally depressed me. McDonalds does the same thing.
Hard to enjoy a chocolate shake when you can't lie to yourself that it's not really that bad for you.
So I mostly stick to Wendy's. The ones around here, anyway, don't post the calories, so I can pretend that their fried chicken sandwiches are not really THAT bad...

Great post! I actually like kale, but just read that it's one of the vegetables that tends to absorb all the heavy metal elements in the soil, which are poisonous. You can't win.  I think it was a big marketing blunder to drop the coleslaw altogether. I wonder how much of the kale salad gets thrown away, and that's a shame. You can't force people to eat healthy (and even though I do about 95% of the time, I enjoy my junk food on occasion). BTW, I appreciate knowing the nutritional information. You don't have to look at it if you don't want to know. |

I made the mistake of going by KFC and getting popcorn chicken the other day. It was awful.
The 6 count nuggets only have 200 calories at Chick Fil A. I dont eat the fries. Carbs.
The frozen lemonade is awesome.

I wish the writer of that post lived closer to me. She sounds like some of my favorite friends.

Why would they do something like this? I mean, if you are going to Chick-fil-a, you are not going to go for healthy food. I like most veggies, but kale is one I just don't like.
Moot point for me though. Closest one is somewhere near Seattle and if I'm going to Seattle to eat, it is not going to be fast food.
