Comments by "ncwordman" (@ncwordman) on "I'm getting CRUSHED for my Chick-Fil-A order!" video.

I would get Chik-Fil-A now an then, 30 years ago. The waffle fries were good. But their classic chicken sandwich, which I always got, was mediocre at best. When the CEO came out as being a Christian, and would therefore do all the stuff that has nothing to do with being a Christian, all the conservatives lined up around the block for Chik-Fil-A. So it stopped being an option, given the mile-long double lines at the drive thru. That declaration of their religiosity came across to me as a sleazy marketing gimmick. Remember Cartman's Christian rock band? Like that. Can't really see Jesus working at a cheesy fast food chain, refusing to serve LGBTQ, let alone posting a too-little-too-late internet message about corporate-owned diversity, equity, and inclusion. So it's just more cow pies from people who want to make money, while pretending to be caring and understanding.

Have you guys looked up the ingredients for a classic Chik-Fil-A sandwich yet? And I don't mean reading one of their press releases, but the actual ingredients. Here's a hint: There's 55 of them. And it's ain't pretty. Search and find out for yourself.

But they're okay with sticking chickens up their buns? lol

@apwill4765 Okay, and the rest? There are 55 ingredients, homey.

This is the truth. When I was 21, working at Taco Bell in the early '90s, one of my duties was to stir the huge vat of taco meat. I used this trident-looking forkish-shovel thing, which I had to grip with both hands to stir the dense tub of slimy meat. Sometimes I'd cackle to myself, "Bubble, bubble, toil and trouble." It was so disgusting that I swore off Taco Bell for life.

@udhehfhehcuw9169 "comment about them refusing to serve lgbt people still isn't substantiated." This is true. I searched high and low for proof of that, but couldn't find it. However, the owner did donate to the main group that was against the Equality Act, which made it so no one could deny people service, if they were LGBTQ. But, apparently, as far as I could find, no Chik-Fil-A refused LGBTQ people service.

@apwill4765 Okay. So there's the chicken, which has 6 ingredients; then the chicken coating, 15 ingredients; the bun, 16; the bun oil, 5; and the pickles with 10. That makes 55. Included in those 55 is "MSG, Sodium Aluminum Phosphate, Potassium Iodate, and Dimethylpolysiloxane. These additives are linked to several health risks, and some are banned or heavily restricted in other countries." Still not sound toxic?

@aaronhumphrey3514 Basically, yes, exactly. It sure ain't plain old chicken, though, anymore than McDonald's makes plain old burgers. That's the point. Thank you.

Finally decided look up that term. It's as I thought: ""Soy Boy" is a pejorative which is often used in right-wing online communities to describe men lacking masculine characteristics." It takes a real man to eat a fast food sandwich! lol

Are you lost?

@susanmaguire Ohhh. My mistake. I apologize. I didn't watch the very end, and always stop after he discusses the main topic, before he talks about what's on another video. I feel stupid now. I'll make it up to you, though: I think you're absolutely right, that alcohol users should not be allowed guns way, way before taking them away from cannabis users. Alcohol makes you mean. Can't imagine anyone smoking a couple hog's legs, then shooting up the neighborhood.

@susanmaguire Thank you for understanding. :) For me, after firing one up, nothing better than dipping into my bootleg Dead collection: a little Jerr Bear and Brent; Box of Rain, Mississippi Half-Step Uptown Toodeloo. Certainly not shooting people.

@Pier77Tampa That's an even better analogy! I've read a lot of pirate history, and it does remind me very much of their punch: Throw everything in there, and just drink it!

@luke_skywanker7643 A person would be better off just eating cookies for dinner. :)

@derpydood I haven't had KFC since the courts forced them to change their name from Kentucky Fried Chicken, since there was no chicken in their "chicken." It's been an age since I had Popeye's. Can't even remember. I'm from North Carolina, and we have Bojangles, which is awesome chicken. Can get really good sides too: dirty rice, string beans, mashed potatoes. And their Cajun fries are to die for.

@apwill4765 My comment didn't imply, it quoted. I don't understand your denial and resistance here. It's not like you're responsible for what goes into fast food. And that's what this is: fast food. Or is it just because your initial comment would then be wrong? And you don't want to be wrong. I didn't know what was in it, before I looked it up. And so I didn't expect you to either. But its filled with ingredients that are banned in other countries, because they cause health problems, and because they increase your appetite, and because they're addictive. Is this really shocking to you? Welcome to 21st century American fast food. Sorry to bust your bubble.

@apwill4765 "Why are you so desperate to change the subject of the argument to make your point make sense?" The chicken sandwich comes with those ingredients. So unless you only eat the chicken, you're getting those ingredients. And, even then, there's the chicken coating. I majored in physics, so scientific names don't scare me, as you assumed. Anyway, I'm pretty sick of you. Muting you, and moving on.
2
@udhehfhehcuw9169 I know, but I was referring to the troll I was talking with earlier, who kept saying the ingredient was plain ol' chicken.

@klocke-hx3xl "To give yourself a false sense of safety?" Does it sound like I'm giving myself a false sense of safety? No. The answer's no. And it's not the same as what you'd find from chicken breasts in grocery stores. Maybe you'll find something similar in microwavable chicken sandwiches, but that's it. And, yes, it's what you find at pretty much any fast food chain. That's the actual point, and the only point I was trying to make. But evidently everyone else wanted the false sense of security you tried to pin on me, because they claimed it was all-natural chicken, just chicken and only chicken. Plain ol' innocent chicken. And it obviously isn't.

I caught that too. The guy was really reaching to find something nice to say about Chik Fil A.

Bojangles! I love that place.

@susanmaguire That's not the point. The point is this video has nothing to do with guns, weed, or alcohol. That's why I asked if you were lost.

@dougielifts "99% of people who say this base what they do and don’t eat off of if they can pronounce an ingredient or not Probably one of the most anti science things ever" 99% of the people who say 99% do not actually mean the statistical percentage of 99%. Probably one of the most anti-math things ever.

@tommydevine9993 Who says I haven't? (cluckcluck) :P

"Ingredients from their website" Read that again. I looked it up too. First few links were them doing P.R. So I looked elsewhere. 55 ingredients in a classic Chik-Fil-A sandwich, including ingredients that are banned in other countries--because they're bad for your health, and addictive. You didn't really think it was "just a chicken breast." Did you?
1
@apwill4765 Didn't search for the ingredients, then? Not even a little curious? Okay. Suit yourself. :)

@apwill4765 You're responding to me on two different threads. Pick one. There are 55 ingredients. So it's not just chicken breast.

@udhehfhehcuw9169 In 2021 the owner Dan Cathy donated to a group that spearheaded opposition to what was then known as the Equality Act, which would ensure rights for LGBTQ. This goes back to 2012, when Dan Cathy came out against LGBTQ, making a series of comments opposing same-sex marriage. Here's a couple of the things he said: "I think we are inviting God's judgment on our nation when we shake our fist at Him and say, "We know better than you as to what constitutes a marriage". I pray God's mercy on our generation that has such a prideful, arrogant attitude to think that we have the audacity to define what marriage is about." "We are very much supportive of the family—the biblical definition of the family unit. We are a family-owned business, a family-led business, and we are married to our first wives. We give God thanks for that. ...We want to do anything we possibly can to strengthen families. We are very much committed to that," Cathy emphasized. "We intend to stay the course," he said. "We know that it might not be popular with everyone, but thank the Lord, we live in a country where we can share our values and operate on biblical principles." Let the church say AMEN! Politicians came out and barred Chik-Fil-A from opening restaurants in certain cities, from 2012-2019. That's when Chik-Fil-A said they'd stop donating to anti-LGBTQ groups. That was a lie, because they did it (as I said) in 2021. But it probably helped to get them to release their diversity, equity, and inclusion statement.

@klocke-hx3xl I didn't say the chicken itself. Nor do I expect anyone is just eating the chicken by itself. So stop spreading disinformation. And even the chicken itself has an additional 10-15 ingredients in the "chicken covering." But I'm so sorry I offended all you Chik-Fil-A apologists. All you people striving to defend poor ol' Chik-Fil-A. Buncha puzzies (spelling intended for the algorithm).

@aaronhumphrey3514 "The preservatives you brought up are likely in the bun rather than the chicken" Let's assume that's true. Are people not eating the bun? I've been talking this whole time about the chicken sandwich. Not just the stupid chicken. Why is it such a stretch to accept that fast food in the 21st century is a mess of unhealthy chemicals? I thought I was pointing out something obvious, like 1+1=2.
1
@aaronhumphrey3514 "The point is that it’s not that different than what’s in grocery stores, which you denied. Processed foods full of chemicals are just the norm in America unfortunately." If that's your point, then your point is obviously wrong. Sure there are chemicals in grocery store chicken, to preserve it or whatnot. But that's absolutely incomparable to what all is in a Chik-Fil-A sandwich. Fast food is different from food bought in a grocery store. By a mile. That's why I still deny your assertion.

@aaronhumphrey3514 "You’re wrong." Well thank you for proving me wrong, with that long, verbose, fact-filled reply. Now why don't you just fudge off, back to the fudge factory.
