Chow Down at Chick-fil-A or Don't

So I eat at Chick-fil-A. Yes! Go ahead and boo me. I don't care. Look. I ain't all happy about it but when I was working at the Mall it was the best place to get food on a lunch break. As my friend T------- says sometimes you gotta be about that life. She was referencing Starbucks but this could be used for a lot of stuff. I ate at Chick-fil-A before I knew about the Hate Gay thing and I ate there after the whole Hate Gay thing.

I am not a boycott kinda queen. I don't think this works. I believe change happens within systems more so than outside systems. Not to say that when I order a combo, I am espousing my gayness but boycotting something doesn't work in the way it used too. Look at Paula Dean. We all thought her career was over when she was outed as a racist but she is now hocking furniture, has endorsements again, and if she can cut the melodramatics and make a sincere apology will win back a big portion of her fans once she shows up on Dancing with the Stars. I am tuning in to see Gary Busey btw. I became a kinda fan of his when he appeared on Celebrity Big Brother UK.

To alleviate some of the guilt I have when I occasionally eat at Chick-fil-A, I use their wifi and play Willam Belli's song Chow Down at Chick-fil-A. I feel like this takes away some of the badness I should feel at eating their delicious waffle fries.

What is something you do that you shouldn't do?
