Make America Healthy Again champion, RFK Jr., was grilled on Capitol Hill this week as part of his confirmation process to become Health and Human Services Secretary. Despite fierce opposition from some Senators, parents and health advocates on both sides of the aisle have lined up to support him. In this episode we speak with Vani Hari, longtime food activist and New York Times bestselling author who was in the room supporting Kennedy during his Senate confirmation hearings. She explains why she believes parents are finally winning the battle to get chemicals out of kids’ food.

GEORGIA: Joining us to discuss the war over chemical-laced packaged food is Vani Hari, bestselling author, activist, and creator of the <a href="https://foodbabe.com/blog/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Food Babe blog</a>. Vani thanks so much for coming on.
VANI: Thank you so much for having me.
GEORGIA: So first off, tell me a little bit about your path to food activism. How did you become interested in nutrition to begin with?
VANI: My parents came here as immigrants in the 1960s. And when they came to the United States, they were big on adopting the American culture. So when my dad went back to have an arranged marriage to my mother in India and they ended up coming here to live the rest of their lives, the first thing he introduced her to was a McDonald&#8217;s hamburger. And that&#8217;s how I was raised on an American standard diet. We were one of the only Indian families in Charlotte, North Carolina at that point, where I grew up and where I live now.
So everything was kind of handed to us in terms of what we should be eating and my parents were very trusting of the American food system. As a result, I was really sick as a child. I had eczema, I had asthma, I was in and out of doctor&#8217;s offices for most of my life. I was on so many prescription drugs. When my parents would take me to see doctors, they never asked them, like, “What is she eating? What are you feeding her?” They never asked about my diet, they just put me on the next medication. And that is how I grew up.
In my early 20s, I hit rock bottom when I ended up in the hospital having to get my appendix taken out, one of my organs. At the time they said, “Your appendix is something you don&#8217;t even need. It&#8217;s an organ that just can come out.” They made such a light situation out of it. I started to question what the doctors were telling me. Why did God give us an appendix? Why do we evolve having an appendix? I wanted to find answers. What happened to my appendix and why was it about to burst?
<div id="attachment_870125" style="width: 874px" class="wp-caption aligncenter"><img loading="lazy" decoding="async" aria-describedby="caption-attachment-870125" class="size-large wp-image-870125" src="https://dw-wp-production.imgix.net/2025/02/GettyImages-455584080-864x576.jpg" alt="Vani Hari, known as the &quot;Food Babe&quot;, speaks at the Green Festival in Los Angeles, California, U.S., on Friday, Sept. 12, 2014. Food Babe is the nom de blog for Hari, a 35-year-old banking consultant turned food activist, who has built a loyal online audience by calling out companies from Starbucks Corp. to Chick-fil-A Inc. for ingredients she deems harmful.

So when I started to research what was happening in my body, I found out that I had extreme inflammation, and that was coming from my diet. When I started to make changes shortly after that scare, I remember getting this one big book and there was a concept in it that hit me like a ton of bricks: The majority of foods on the grocery store shelf are dead. They&#8217;re not alive. And I thought, that&#8217;s how I&#8217;ve felt for most of my life. Like a zombie. Not wanting to get up in the morning to go to school. Not wanting to participate in activities or physical sport activities because I didn&#8217;t have the energy because of my asthma. So when I started to take the concepts in that book and apply them to my life, I started to eat as much real living food as possible, things like fruits and vegetables and things that I would find at the farmer&#8217;s market — my whole life changes. I mean, it was dramatic to the point where I lost all of the weight that I had put on as a result of this lifestyle.
<iframe style="width: 100%; max-width: 660px; overflow: hidden; border-radius: 10px;" src="https://embed.podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/food-babes-maha-mission-2-2-25/id1576594336?i=1000688150527" height="175" frameborder="0" sandbox="allow-forms allow-popups allow-same-origin allow-scripts allow-storage-access-by-user-activation allow-top-navigation-by-user-activation"></iframe>
I also started to realize a level of health that I never thought was possible. I got off nine prescription drugs, and the people around me who grew up with me — my relatives, my friends, my family — they were like, “Whoa, you have made a dramatic transformation in your appearance. What are you doing? We want a piece of what you&#8217;re doing.” They actually begged me to start a blog to share this information, to share my recipes and what I was doing, and why I suddenly refused to eat candy because it had artificial food dyes. They wanted to know the green drink that I was drinking and what was in it and how they could make it at home.
And this is before we even had a Whole Foods in Charlotte. Back then it was the little mom and pop natural food stores or the farmer&#8217;s market. So I had to really teach people in my community and people around me about these new methodologies of how to take care of your health and actually look at the root cause of what&#8217;s happening in your body. I started to realize that there were so many people out there beyond my friends and family who didn&#8217;t know the truth about what was happening in our food supply. I wanted to investigate it for them. And I wanted to investigate it for my own personal reasons. There are so many products that I thought were healthy but weren&#8217;t actually healthy. Things that I thought were good for me because they only had 400 calories or this many fat grams or they had the marketing of “eat fresh” at their fast food chain — I thought I was eating fresh, but I found out I wasn&#8217;t.
So I started to investigate these major fast food chains and major food companies. And then companies started reaching out to me. I think the first one was a yogurt chain who I was very upset with because they were really promoting the fact that they were using “organic milk” in their yogurt. And I thought, “This is amazing. This is so awesome. I could go to the mall and I can have this treat and it&#8217;s good for me.” But when you looked at the ingredients, they were coloring their products with artificial food dye. They were putting in preservatives and trans fats. Yes they were starting with organic milk, but they were adding 30 more chemicals to the concoction they put in the machines. So I wrote about that and how duped I felt, and it went so viral that the CEO of the company reached out to me, pulled the marketing off their stores, and apologized.
GEORGIA: Wow.
VANI: That was my first taste of activism, and my first taste of, “Oh my gosh, my voice can make a difference.” And then Chick-fil-A invited me to their headquarters after I wrote an article called “Chemical Filet or Chick-fil-A?” I showed the hundred ingredients that they have in their Chick-fil-A sandwich and how I thought they were healthier than going to McDonald&#8217;s. But when I compared them to the McDonald&#8217;s ingredients they were virtually the same. And this really shocked people. I mean, it went so viral that the executives at Chick-fil-A invited me to their headquarters to consult on their menu items on how to make their ingredients better. 
When I was taking off work to go there to consult with them, instead of consulting with the banking institutions, I was like, “Okay, something got to give here. Like this is obviously way more impactful than what I&#8217;m doing at the banks.” So I ended up deciding to quit my job. I was not making a dime doing Food Babe. It was literally a passion project.
The beautiful thing that happened after I quit my job was, I was able to spend 100% of my time researching the food industry. And the first thing I did — you know, I was an avid traveler. I loved to travel, it&#8217;s been a passion of mine since I was a little girl. And whenever I would go to Europe or another country, I&#8217;d always feel better. I felt better. I liked the food better, it tasted better. And I thought, “What&#8217;s going on here? Why is it so different?” So I started to compare products that we have here in the United States to products that they sell in other countries — the exact same products. Like a Doritos package here in the United States versus a Doritos package in Europe. And I would compare the ingredients. I did this large investigation and I think the title is something like, “How U.S. Companies Are Exploiting Americans.” I showed these stark differences between the same product that&#8217;s being sold here and in other countries, and how in other countries they&#8217;re using better and safer ingredients. And while here they&#8217;re using man-made chemical additives. That side-by-side comparison went so viral that it was an opportunity to finally say, “You know what, we need to hold the food companies accountable for this.”

One of the examples in that investigation was Quaker Oats. Here in the United States, Quaker Oats has a “Strawberry and Cream” Quaker Oat pack, right? They had dyed Apple pieces to make them strawberry — dyed with a Red 40, an artificial food dye, linked to hyperactivity in children and can be contaminated with carcinogens. But in Europe, they&#8217;re using real strawberries. And you know, Quaker quickly got caught on that and that product doesn&#8217;t exist anymore, thankfully. But it was something that I just couldn&#8217;t believe the stark differences.
So I decided to take on one of the largest food companies in the world, which was Kraft at the time. They were serving little children Mac and Cheese with artificial food dyes — Yellow-5 and Yellow-6. Meanwhile, in Europe, they&#8217;re using paprika and beta carotene. It was a viral petition. It was so exciting, for the first time we were on national TV.
So I took them on. I remember it [the petition] gained a lot of steam, like 270,000 signatures, very quickly. And on April 1 — it wasn&#8217;t Happy April Fool&#8217;s Day for Kraft that day because I took the petition to their headquarters and I demanded a meeting and they sat down with me. I sat down and I looked them in the eye and I just said, “Why aren&#8217;t you doing this for American children? You already have the formulation in other countries. Why are we getting the man-made additives that are linked to all of these health issues that we&#8217;re experiencing? You know we have crazy chronic rates of disease with our kids, we have like close to half of children on some kind of medication. What is going on here?” And they looked at me and they said, “We have to agree to disagree.” And they dismissed me. And I thought, you know what? I&#8217;m not going to let up. I&#8217;m going to keep leading the charge. I&#8217;m going to keep educating the public. I&#8217;m going to tell people the truth about these chemicals.
Within six or seven months, they had to change because what happened was we were able to change the marketplace. People went from Kraft Macaroni and Cheese to their competitor, Annie&#8217;s, who didn&#8217;t use artificial food dyes. And then General Mills saw an opportunity — we&#8217;re going to buy Annie&#8217;s for $800 million. So, at that point, Kraft&#8217;s like, “Shoot, we&#8217;re going to lose all our market share. We need to change right now.” And they did.
The funniest part of it all, which just makes me laugh to this day, is whenever they told the press that they were making the change, they&#8217;re like, “It had nothing to do with the petition,” right? “It had nothing to do with the worldwide press on this issue.” So I took that momentum and took on more giants&#8230;

As we prepare to enter the new year, we&#8217;re taking you back to some of The Daily Wire&#8217;s best reporting from 2024. This article was originally published on November 22. 
Earlier this year, a Minnesota hospital issued a profuse apology to staff after failing to abide by its “values of respect and justice” — by giving out free Chick-fil-A.
Staff at Essentia Health in Duluth complained about the free sandwiches available in the St. Mary’s Medical Center’s <a href="https://www.essentiahealth.org/find-facility/essentia-health-st-marys-medical-center-duluth-building-b/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">atrium</a>, an email chain obtained by The Daily Wire shows.
“Please spread the word that Chick-fil-A will be handing out free sandwiches” from 2:15 to 3:30 p.m. wrote Tammy Kritzer, senior vice president for regional operations at Essentia Health.
Several health care professionals responded indignantly.

“Chick-fil-A is an Anti-LGBTQ+ business and I would not recommend supporting them in any way. We need to protect vulnerable communities during this time and at all times,” one male licensed practical nurse wrote.
“I’m not sure Essentia realizes the message they are sending to their LGBTQ+ employees (or patients) with this affiliation. The sandwiches might be free, but the implicit endorsement certainly has a cost,” wrote a medical laboratory scientist whose email signature has “they/them” pronouns.
The emails critical of Chick-fil-A got dozens of thumbs up and heart emoji reactions, while another message suggesting the staffers calm down did not get such a warm response.
“It is just a Sandwich,” one employee responded. “Plenty of the items Essentia Health uses in the healthcare industry to include supplies and equipment were likely made in China. It doesn’t mean that Essentia supports communism or government oppression.”

“We would like to thank our colleagues who had the courage to speak up to widen our lens of inclusivity, and we appreciate all colleagues continuing to live our values of respect and justice,” she said.

A Minnesota hospital issued a profuse apology to staff after failing to abide by its &#8220;values of respect and justice&#8221; — by giving out free Chick-fil-A.

Chick-fil-A has drawn the ire of LGBT activists over the years, who have boycotted and staged protests over the company <a href="https://thinkprogress.org/chick-fil-a-anti-lgbtq-donations-tax-filings-62ca15281f17/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">donating</a> to groups like the Salvation Army, which activists claim has &#8220;a record of anti-LGBTQ discrimination.&#8221; In fact, the company <a href="https://www.chick-fil-a.com/dei" target="_blank" rel="noopener">emphasizes</a> that it &#8220;values diversity, equity and inclusion&#8221; and does not discriminate or tolerate harassment on the basis of sexual orientation or gender identity.
The hospital distanced itself from Chick-fil-A in the email, writing that the free lunch was &#8220;not intended to endorse a business or business practices,&#8221; the email said.

&#8220;We respect all we are honored to serve and employ, and situations such as these are an important reminder to consider all viewpoints. As we strive to be thoughtful and inclusive as an organization, we will have learnings along the way,&#8221; the email read.

&#8220;In the words of Maya Angelou, when we know better, we do better,&#8221; the email concluded. &#8220;Thank you for giving us grace, as we work to be better, together,&#8221; the email read.
Some cities have<a href="https://www.nbcnews.com/feature/nbc-out/chick-fil-banned-second-airport-two-weeks-n991016"> prevented</a> Chick-fil-A from opening locations at their airports, including Buffalo, New York, and San Antonio, Texas.

While Essentia staff squawked about the free lunch, they have been silent about some of their employer&#8217;s other decisions. The hospital, which did not respond to a request for comment, provides cross-sex hormones and more to minors. According to the <a href="https://stoptheharmdatabase.com/hospital/essentia-health-st-marys-childrens-hospital/">Stop The Harm database</a>, Essentia has performed at least five sex change operations on minors.

When the demand for racism far exceeds the supply, the inevitable result is that you get race hoaxes. And there are now so many race hoaxes in this country that we have entire genres of race hoaxes to catalog. There&#8217;s the Jussie Smollet-style hoax, where you fake a racist attack. There&#8217;s the graffiti-style race hoax, where you spray-paint something racist on a wall or a car or something like that. And of course there&#8217;s the restaurant-receipt-style race hoax, where someone leaves a racist message on a receipt.
One of the more prominent racist receipt hoaxes is the one that happened at the Saltgrass steakhouse a few years back, when a customer supposedly <a href="https://www.foxnews.com/food-drink/waiter-who-faked-racist-receipt-the-latest-to-use-shocking-claims-to-get-facebook-love" target="_blank" rel="noopener">wrote</a> the words, &#8220;We don&#8217;t tip terrorists&#8221; on his <a href="https://www.cbsnews.com/news/texas-waiter-faked-we-dont-tip-terrorist-note-on-receipt-restaurant-says/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">receipt</a>, because the waiter looked like he was from the Middle East or something. The waiter put out a social media post saying the receipt is proof that racism is alive and well. &#8220;This racism and this hatred still exists,&#8221; he posted on Instagram. The restaurant immediately announced it was banning the customer for life because the waiter obviously wouldn&#8217;t lie about something like that. Only for the waiter to eventually admit what every sane person already knew, which is that he <a href="https://www.cbsnews.com/news/texas-waiter-faked-we-dont-tip-terrorist-note-on-receipt-restaurant-says/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">fabricated</a> the whole thing.
These race hoaxes are all so predictable that you&#8217;d be forgiven for believing that innovation is truly dead in the race hoax industry. Race hoaxes have become a lot like iPhones. There&#8217;s no real variation from year to year. You just keep getting the same thing over and over again. And that&#8217;s true, for the most part. 
There was one very notable recent exception to this general rule, however, and it comes to us from Charles County, Maryland. For the first time in recorded history, we have a twist on the restaurant receipt race hoax.
The spin is that, in this case, the receipt isn&#8217;t actually being faked by anyone. It is a 100% accurate receipt, according to all parties involved. So in that sense, this is something of an upgrade over the typical genre standbys that we&#8217;re all used to. Unfortunately, in every other respect this is one of the dumbest race hoaxes to ever occur in this country. It&#8217;s so extraordinarily low-IQ and insulting to the intelligence of everyone involved that it defies comprehension as to why a single news station, anywhere, would cover this complete non-story, except maybe to laugh at it. But some news outlets — both national and local — did cover the story with a straight face. Here&#8217;s one of those stations:
<iframe loading="lazy" title="Charles County man alleges racial slur printed on Chick-fil-A receipt | NBC4 Washington" width="500" height="281" src="https://www.youtube.com/embed/vS_0Jhy0dnE?feature=oembed" frameborder="0" allow="accelerometer; autoplay; clipboard-write; encrypted-media; gyroscope; picture-in-picture; web-share" referrerpolicy="strict-origin-when-cross-origin" allowfullscreen></iframe>
&#8220;Racism is still alive,&#8221; he says, pretending to be upset. It&#8217;s what the Saltgrass waiter said a couple of years ago, too. Of course the irony is that, if racism were still alive as they say, they wouldn’t need to make it up. We’re supposed to think that these hoaxers are really angry that racism is still alive, but of course the opposite is true. They want racism to exist so badly that they&#8217;re willing to invent it. They hope that their race hoax will follow the familiar pattern: the social media outrage, followed by the termination of the allegedly offending party, followed by a big payout, followed by them taking their place alongside the great civil rights heroes of all time — men like George Floyd and Michael Brown.
And they&#8217;re not quite sure how to react when that pattern doesn&#8217;t play out. Notice in that video that the man assumes the teenage employee will be fired, even though Chick-fil-A has already said he won&#8217;t be. He says, well it&#8217;s sad he might have to lose his job, but he needs to learn the lesson. It&#8217;s as if he can&#8217;t process the fact that he&#8217;s being told that no, the Chick-fil-A employee didn&#8217;t actually suffer any kind of harm.
<h4><a href="https://www.dailywire.com/episode/ep-1435-the-matt-walsh-show" target="_blank" rel="noopener">WATCH: The Matt Walsh Show</a></h4>
Nevertheless, the man says he&#8217;s thinking about filing a federal lawsuit against Chick-fil-A because that receipt was just &#8220;devastating&#8221; for him. He&#8217;s never going back to that Chick-fil-A ever again because apparently the equivalent of the KKK has taken it over. Whenever they see a black customer they just write &#8220;monkey&#8221; on the receipt because that&#8217;s how racist they are at this particular Chick-fil-A.
This is the narrative that the media is reporting, without any pushback whatsoever, even though it&#8217;s extremely obvious that this was a misunderstanding on the part of the employee. The guy&#8217;s name is &#8220;Marquise,&#8221; which does sound very close to &#8220;monkeys,&#8221; depending on how you say it. If his name was Bob or Larry or something, then he might have more of a case. Then you could maybe convince someone that this was a malicious attempt to communicate some racist message to this customer, for some reason. But as it stands, it&#8217;s pretty clear what happened. He probably either said &#8220;Marquise&#8221; or &#8220;monkeys&#8221; in the drive-thru lane and either way, the employee thought he heard &#8220;monkeys.&#8221;
We can be pretty sure of that because the alternative makes no sense whatsoever. This Chick-fil-A is in Maryland. This drive-thru employee probably serves dozens of black customers a day. Does he call them all racial slurs or did he just randomly select this guy for no particular reason? Did he wake up and decide, you know what, I&#8217;m going to call a customer a monkey today. And I&#8217;m going to put it in writing. Is there a single person who actually believes that&#8217;s a plausible scenario?
And yet the media uncritically reports on the customer&#8217;s &#8220;trauma.&#8221; Then he makes his pitch for a lawsuit, which is really a shakedown. He&#8217;s essentially telling Chick-fil-A to pay up, or he&#8217;s going to smear them as much as possible. If you watch the video this guy recorded in the Chick-fil-A — which I won&#8217;t play because it&#8217;s painful to listen to — he immediately demands that the employee lose his job. And then he promises to make the clip go &#8220;viral.&#8221; He went directly into making threats as soon as he saw an opportunity.

This is inexcusable behavior obviously, but it&#8217;s also predictable. This is the kind of response that a lot of people will have when everyone in the media is telling them, at every opportunity, that they&#8217;re a victim because of their skin color. It&#8217;s what happens when some people are bombarded with lies about how oppressed they are. And that&#8217;s happening constantly, right out in the open.
The other day, for example, the actor and singer Tyrese had a conversation with the race hustling ambulance chaser Ben Crump. And Tyrese made a claim that&#8217;s clearly false, and also clearly designed to stoke as much racial animosity and resentment as possible. And of course Ben Crump, the alleged lawyer, agreed with it. Watch:
<blockquote class="twitter-tweet" data-width="500" data-dnt="true">
Tyrese calls out Joe Biden and Kamala Harris for signing a hate crime bill to protect Asians but skipping over Black and Latino people who are being killed. <a href="https://t.co/v4Ltb9LQEW">pic.twitter.com/v4Ltb9LQEW</a>

&nbsp;
Tyrese claims, bizarrely, that there are no hate crime laws protecting black and brown people. Never mind that every hate crime law protects those groups and most of them were written specifically to protect those groups. Just last week Kamala was once again promoting the &#8220;anti-lynching&#8221; act that the Biden Admin signed into law a couple of years ago. That was yet another hate crime bill written specifically to protect black people from a form of violence that none of them have suffered in at least forty years. Also, as I covered last week, lynching is already illegal about three times over. This made it illegal a fourth time.
As to the specific legislation that Tyrese is talking about, he&#8217;s wrong about that, too. There was no bill that only punishes anti-Asian hate crimes. The COVID-19 Hate Crimes Act, which is apparently what he&#8217;s referring to, applied to all forms of &#8220;hate crime.&#8221; It just made it easier to report and catalog these incidents. A lot of people pointed this out online, so it&#8217;s not a particularly convincing lie, either.
And as I&#8217;ve discussed <a href="https://www.dailywire.com/news/the-case-that-proves-why-hate-crime-statistics-are-bogus">before</a>, this is all a moot point anyway because hate crimes shouldn&#8217;t be an actual category of crime. For one thing, a lot of crimes committed against other people typically involve some form of hatred. So we don&#8217;t need a special category for certain kinds of hatred. For another thing, hate crimes aren&#8217;t prosecuted or reported with any kind of consistency.
<h4><a href="http://www.amiracist.com/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">WATCH THE TRAILER FOR &#8216;AM I RACIST?&#8217; — A MATT WALSH COMEDY ON DEI</a></h4>
Those are legitimate complaints you can make about hate crimes legislation. But the idea that they don&#8217;t protect black and brown people is complete nonsense. In the Ahmaud Arbery case, after the state secured the murder convictions, the feds went back and prosecuted those defendants for hate crimes because of racist text messages they had sent — before the murder, about someone other than Ahmaud Arbery. It was an entirely separate prosecution. They got guilty pleas and additional life sentences because of it. But apparently those hate crimes laws don&#8217;t exist, according to Tyrese and Ben Crump.
This is the same kind of race hustling that Barack Obama specialized in, but these people aren&#8217;t anywhere near as good at it. Obama could look the camera in the eye and wag his finger and say whatever he wanted. He could convince a lot of people that hate crimes laws only protect white people if he wanted to. But Tyrese and Ben Crump aren&#8217;t so gifted. They&#8217;re not anywhere near as coherent. Their pandering is too obvious.
In fact, right now there aren&#8217;t many prominent members of the Democrat Party who are capable of pulling off the Obama-style hustle. Kamala Harris certainly isn&#8217;t capable of it. Even in scripted moments — pretty much the only moments that her handlers will allow her to have — she can&#8217;t do it. Take a look at these two clips from Kamala Harris events yesterday. One&#8217;s in Detroit and the other&#8217;s in Pennsylvania. They&#8217;re just a few hours apart. See if you notice any differences:
<blockquote class="twitter-tweet" data-width="500" data-dnt="true">
Kamala in Detroit vs. Kamala in Pittsburgh — literally 5 hours apart

<script async src="https://platform.twitter.com/widgets.js" charset="utf-8"></script>
&nbsp;
So in the Detroit speech, she&#8217;s once again trying to sound urban but instead ends up sounding like Foghorn Leghorn. She’s trying to connect with black voters by changing her accent and tone, but, ironically, winds up sounding something like a plantation owner in the Antebellum south. Meanwhile in the Pennsylvania clip she sounds completely different. Hillary Clinton and Barack Obama and Bill Clinton did this kind of thing all the time, but they at least waited a few hours before dropping their fake accents. They didn&#8217;t leave the &#8220;urban environment&#8221; and immediately start speaking normally again. So this may be the single worst attempt at &#8220;code switching,&#8221; or whatever you want to call it, that&#8217;s ever been attempted. But Kamala attempted it anyway. Whatever this is — whether it&#8217;s desperation or incompetence or both — it&#8217;s a clear sign that Democrats aren&#8217;t going to change their tactics just because they don&#8217;t have the talent to pull it off. They still have no problem being completely shameless in their attempts to divide this country along racial lines.
So the media will continue to tell us that innocuous restaurant receipts are racist. Ben Crump will nod along as an actor lies about hate crimes. And Kamala Harris will do everything she can to prevent people from realizing she grew up in a wealthy neighborhood in Montreal. Put it all together, and it&#8217;s clear that the Left&#8217;s racial pandering is now so overt that it manages to insult the intelligence of the people they&#8217;re pandering to. This is inevitably what happens when the demand for racism outstrips the supply — you get hoax after hoax after hoax. Eventually, the hoaxes start looking a bit too familiar and too obvious. That&#8217;s what we&#8217;re seeing now. The fraud is clearer than it ever was. And if Kamala Harris made anything clear yesterday, it&#8217;s that she&#8217;s incapable of hiding it.

Rumor has it that fast food chicken purveyor <a href="https://www.dailywire.com/topic/chick-fil-a">Chick-fil-A</a> will launch a streaming service of unscripted content.
Deadline <a href="https://deadline.com/2024/08/chick-fil-a-hatches-streaming-service-1236044196/">reported</a> that the popular restaurant chain has been working with major players in the <a href="https://www.dailywire.com/topic/entertainment">entertainment</a> industry to create, license, and acquire family-friendly content. The outlet’s sources revealed that new projects include a game show from Glassman Media, creator of “The Wall,” and Sugar23, which is known for the Netflix hit series “13 Reasons Why.”
Those sources noted that the projects could launch as early as this year and that there’s also been talk of animation and scripted content. They reported that Brian Gibson of “The X Factor” fame is leading the charge for programming for the as-yet-unnamed streaming platform.

Buy here for a theater near you.</a>
Chick-fil-A has dabbled in entertainment projects in the past. The company created “Stories of Evergreen Hills,” a series of short animated films published on its website. The <a href="https://www.chick-fil-a.com/customer-support/events-and-promotions/stories-of-evergreen-hills/what-is-stories-of-evergreen-hills">series</a> “follows a young girl named Sam as she discovers how little acts of kindness can bring people together,” the description says.
While fast food and entertainment may seem like an unlikely pairing, it’s not the first time two seemingly unrelated industries teamed up. The outlet noted that ride-share company Lyft produced an eight-episode game show series called “Lucky Lyft Trivia Show” hosted by Bob the Drag Queen. Also, Airbnb produced the documentary “Gay Chorus Deep South” for MTV in 2019, which was about the San Francisco Gay Men’s Chorus touring the South.
Retail behemoth Walmart also got into the streaming business, partnering with Paramount+ to give Walmart+ members streaming access to the platform beginning in 2022. 
“We know Walmart+ is providing members real value in their every day – from grocery shopping to filling up their tank and more,” senior vice president and general manager Chris Cracchiolo <a href="https://corporate.walmart.com/news/2022/08/15/walmart-delivers-new-benefit-for-walmart-members-a-paramount-subscription-at-no-extra-cost">said</a> at the time, explaining the connection. “With the addition of Paramount+, we are demonstrating our unique ability to help members save even more and live better by delivering entertainment for less, too.&#8221;

The fast food restaurant’s ties to entertainment are stronger than customers may realize. Chick-fil-A is owned by the Cathy family. According to <a href="https://www.theverge.com/2024/8/21/24225507/chick-fil-a-streaming-service">The Verge</a>, they control an independently managed trust, which helped found Atlanta-based company Trilith Studios, which frequently works with Marvel.
Chick-fil-A has yet to announce or publicly comment on plans for entertainment content.

A Democrat in <a href="https://www.dailywire.com/topic/new-york-city" target="_blank" rel="noopener">New York</a> has introduced a bill that, if passed, would force Christian-owned restaurant chain Chick-fil-A to open on Sundays, or remove numerous restaurants from a major highway system in the state.
Assemblyman Tony Simone, who is openly complaining that Chick-fil-A has a &#8220;terrible record on LGBT rights,&#8221; penned Bill A08336 to mandate that the New York State Thruway Authority only continue or enter into contracts with businesses that will stay open all seven days of the week.
“Chick-fil-A has had a terrible record on LGBT rights,&#8221; Simone complained to the New York Post last week. &#8220;I’m not going to not say that clearly.&#8221;
“To serve New Yorkers and travelers, things should be open seven days a week, including Chick-fil-A, and if they can’t they shouldn’t be in our rest stops,” he continued. “There should be options for people to eat and drink and not just one spot.”
Notably, there is already a <a href="https://www.businessinsider.com/law-could-change-chick-fil-as-sunday-policy-in-new-york-2023-12" target="_blank" rel="noopener">standard</a> that at least one hot-food option is open and available at these rest stops on every day of the week to better accommodate travelers and truckers. If Chick-fil-A is closed on Sundays at a given rest stop, for example, there is another restaurant open.
&#8220;Our requirement is that we have at least one hot food option available,&#8221; Thruway spokesperson Jennifer Givner explained, according to Business Insider. &#8220;If Chick-fil-A is closed on Sundays we have other alternatives for our customers.&#8221;

The chicken chain is known for closing its doors on Sundays for religious reasons.
&#8220;Closing our business on Sunday, the Lord&#8217;s Day, is our way of honoring God and showing our loyalty to Him,&#8221; Chick-fil-A founder Truett Cathy <a href="https://www.businessinsider.com/law-could-change-chick-fil-as-sunday-policy-in-new-york-2023-12#:~:text=Cathy%20continued%20that%20tradition%20when,he%20wrote%20in%20his%20book." target="_blank" rel="noopener">wrote</a> in his book, &#8220;Eat Mor Chikin: Inspire More People.&#8221;
&#8220;My children have committed to closing our restaurants on Sundays long after I&#8217;m gone,&#8221; he wrote. &#8220;I believe God honors our decision and sets before us unexpected opportunities to do greater work for Him because of our loyalty.&#8221;

New York Democrat’s Bill Could Force Chick-Fil-A To Open On Sundays

Democratic Party

Most people would agree the far-Left in America has an incredible history of successful and effective boycotts. Is it possible, however, that we are all having some sort of fever dream? A deeper look back into the 20th century reveals some interesting facts about the Left and boycotts in the modern era. 
The Montgomery Bus Boycott of 1955 &#8211; 1956 has long been considered the largest and most successful boycott in modern American history. This iconic moment in American history is a fascinating encapsulation of the differences between the Left and the Right. The boycott was squarely focused against the Democrats — meaning Alabama elected only five Republicans to the United States House <a href="https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_United_States_representatives_from_Alabama" target="_blank" rel="noopener">from 1900 to 1980</a>. The state, run entirely by Democrats at the time, was segregating people based on skin color and then legislating accordingly. How is there a modicum of difference between the Alabama Democrats of 1955 and the Democrats of today? 
The boycott was sparked by the arrest of Rosa Parks on December 1, 1955 and subsequently organized by the Montgomery Improvement Association, led by Dr. Martin Luther King Jr.. Once the movement picked up speed, Dr. King was arrested for violating a 1921 statute regarding conspiracies against lawful businesses. According to The Martin Luther King, Jr. Research and Education Institute at <a href="https://kinginstitute.stanford.edu/encyclopedia/king-found-guilty-leading-illegal-boycott-announces-boycott-will-continue" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Stanford University</a>, “Judge Carter finds him guilty of leading an illegal boycott and sentences him to pay a $500 fine plus court costs or to serve 386 days in jail.” The trial garnered national attention, and while the financial ramifications might not have been staggering, it started a national conversation around the issue, ultimately leading to a Supreme Court ruling striking down the practice of segregation on buses. The Democrats were thoroughly defeated.
Arguably, the second most successful boycott in American history was led by Cesar Chavez and the National Farm Workers Association (NFWA) against Schenley Industries, a leader in the California grape business. At first glance, the boycott seemed to be motivated by better wages for farm workers, but the specifics are more interesting. A lifelong opponent of illegal immigration, Cesar Chavez was convinced that the economic woes of the farm workers would be virtually non-existent if not for the presence of illegal, cheap labor. The boycott targeted Schenley due to its national recognition and its involvement in various other businesses. In December 1965, the NFWA voted to boycott Schenley, which not only meant that all NFWA members were to strike during the 1966 grape harvest, but also that they would boycott and picket against Schenley and their products nationwide.
Initially, Schenley was unmoved by the strike and decided to utilize the 1942 “Bracero Program,” an agreement between Mexico designed to supply the U.S. with cheap, temporary labor from non-citizens. The harvest was completed, but by April of 1966, Schenley experienced a significant sales drop and earned horrible stain on their reputation. This forced Schenley to sign a labor agreement with the NFWA, and conditions for farm workers began to improve. A few years later, Chavez testified in front of Congress in reference to the Schenley boycott and he <a href="https://www.govinfo.gov/content/pkg/BILLS-115hres791ih/html/BILLS-115hres791ih.htm" target="_blank" rel="noopener">stated</a>: “We gave the I.N.S. and Border Patrol stacks and stacks of information. They did not pull workers from the struck fields … this is why we are forced to boycott: we have no enforcement by the Border Patrol.” 
Today, is it the Left or the Right in this country that stands in staunch opposition to Border Patrol and restrictions on immigration?
In contrast to the above examples, let’s review some of the Left’s most widely known boycotts in the modern era. In 2011 the President of Chick-fil-A, Dan Cathy, expressed his personal views in support of traditional marriage and the family unit. This caused widespread backlash in the mainstream media and the LGBT (no extra letters and symbols yet) community. Calls for a boycott echoed from every leftist politician, media personality, and activist, but what were the results? Approximately eight months into the boycott, Chick-fil-A sales <a href="https://www.huffpost.com/entry/chick-fil-a-sales-2012_n_2590612" target="_blank" rel="noopener">skyrocketed</a> by 12%, from around $4.05 billion to $4.6 billion. The calls for boycotts continued and the pressure campaigns in the media were ceaseless. The effect? Chick-fil-A has managed to <a href="https://www.scrapehero.com/best-fast-food-store-in-america/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">increase its sales</a> by roughly half a billion dollars or more each year since the boycott. Is there a more popular fast-food restaurant in America?
Another Left-organized boycott involved a multi-year campaign against The Salvation Army that began in 2019. The charitable organization was accused of both racism and bigotry against the LGBTQI (gaining some letters now) community. One thing worth pointing out: The Salvation Army was one of the leading organizations championing the 1964 Civil Rights Act and has publicly disavowed any race-based rhetoric numerous times. Nevertheless, they have made company statements in keeping with the traditional understandings of marriage and the family, similar to Dan Cathy. That was enough for the radical Left. They demanded people stop giving donations to the familiar, ubiquitous red kettles during the 2019 and 2020 Christmas seasons. The result? In 2020, as with the rest of the world, profits were down. But in 2021, The Salvation Army received the second most donations in the history of the 158-year-old organization. Not quite the smashing success the Left was hoping for.
Lastly, everyone remembers the vaunted Hobby Lobby Boycott of 2014. The situation occurred after Hobby Lobby was sued by an employee for failing to offer insurance coverage for birth control. This drew the ire of another special sect of the far-Left, the pro-abortion wing. Protestors were seen outside of Hobby Lobby stores across the nation and nearly every outlet and publication were in support of the boycott. The result? The revenue for Hobby Lobby has <a href="https://www.forbes.com/companies/hobby-lobby-stores/?sh=8fbaf36cee6b" target="_blank" rel="noopener">increased</a> from $3.3 billion in 2014 to $7.7 billion in 2022. They just had the most successful year in company history.
Now, fast-forward to present time, and what could end up being the two most devastating boycotts in American history are occurring simultaneously.
Target Corporation gained national attention in mid-May for constructing “Pride” displays at its stores across the nation. The prominence of the displays, along with the outrageous nature of some of the products — “tuck friendly” bathing suits — seemed to push people on the Right to their limits. Calls for a national boycott began to circulate among conservatives and the results have been astonishing. Since May 2023, the Target Corporation market cap has fallen by $15.7 billion dollars.  
A successful boycott, no doubt, but it pales in comparison to the Anheuser-Busch apocalypse.
On April 1, 2023, social media influencer Dylan Mulvaney created an advertisement video for Bud Light, which featured a can of Bud Light with Mulvaney’s image on it. The Right in America has made it perfectly clear in recent years that they will no longer accept the infusion of sexual values into everyday products; but Bud Light decided to find out. The world has rarely witnessed the level of resolve this video provoked from customers. And the results have been Biblical.
As of June 2, 2023, Anheuser-Busch had lost approximately $27 billion dollars in stock prices, multiple executives were placed on leave, and calls for the CEO to resign continue to intensify. Once ranked in the top ten of the nation’s favorite beers for decades, Bud Light has <a href="https://www.foxnews.com/media/bud-light-no-longer-ranks-among-americas-top-10-beers" target="_blank" rel="noopener">now fallen </a>to the 14th spot after three months of the boycott.
The last four months have shown conservatives they possess a power they did not know they had. 
The Right should take heart. The sleeping giant is waking up.

Fast food restaurant chain <a href="https://www.dailywire.com/topic/chick-fil-a" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Chick-fil-A</a> received backlash on social media as conservatives learned that the firm’s corporate office advances a number of <a href="https://www.dailywire.com/topic/diversity-equity-and-inclusion-dei" target="_blank" rel="noopener">diversity</a> initiatives, a revelation which came as brands such as <a href="http://dailywire.com/topic/bud-light" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Bud Light</a> and <a href="http://dailywire.com/topic/target" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Target</a> face criticism for embracing <a href="https://www.dailywire.com/topic/esg" target="_blank" rel="noopener">woke</a> ideology.
Social media users noted that Chick-fil-A, which has a longstanding reputation as a firm run on the basis of conservative and Christian principles, <a href="https://www.linkedin.com/in/erick-mcreynolds-922a8140/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">hired</a> Erick Reynolds as vice president of diversity, equity, and inclusion two years ago. Chick-fil-A prominently features a number of diversity programs meant only for females and members of racial minorities on a DEI segment of its <a href="https://www.chick-fil-a.com/dei" target="_blank" rel="noopener">website</a>, which surfaced in the days after Target and Bud Light witnessed sales and market capitalization hits.
Three years ago, Chick-fil-A Chairman Dan Cathy <a href="https://twitter.com/realstewpeters/status/1663541414838272000" target="_blank" rel="noopener">called</a> for Americans to shine the shoes of their friends and neighbors in response to purported racism. Video of Cathy, who is white, shining the shoes of black Christian rapper Lecrae and exhorting listeners to have “a sense of shame, a sense of embarrassment” also went viral on social media in recent days.
Beyond collaborations with “various national diverse professional development organizations” such as the Women’s Foodservice Forum, the National Black MBA Association, and Association of Latino Professionals of America, the restaurant chain offers community groups such as Women in Business, the Black Employee Resource Group, and the Chick-fil-A Green Team. The company also seeks to develop “mentorship, development, and partnership opportunities for minority-owned businesses to strategically engage” with their supply chain.
Chick-fil-A additionally includes sexual orientation, gender identity, and “gender expression” in its employment nondiscrimination statement alongside race, sex, religion, and veteran status.
The Daily Wire had contacted Chick-fil-A about their ESG and DEI efforts earlier this year and sent another request for comment on Tuesday, specifically asking whether the emphases on employee and supplier diversity could prompt the company to overlook talented candidates.
The firm created an evaluation of “top ESG issues that internal and external stakeholders expect to grow in importance in the next five years” for a recent sustainability <a href="https://www.chick-fil-a.ca/-/media/files/chick-fil-a-2021-corporate-social-responsibility-report.ashx" target="_blank" rel="noopener">report</a>, which included “climate and energy stewardship” and diversity, equity, and inclusion. “While Chick-fil-A has long been committed to supporting our communities and being a responsible steward of all that is entrusted to us, companies like ours are increasingly expected to help address complex social and environmental challenges, especially those that most affect our industry,” the company said in the document.
Another sustainability <a href="https://chick-fil-a-2022-global-impact-report.com/2/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">report</a> published last week likewise cited the firm&#8217;s commitment to diversity, noting that Chick-fil-A established a steering committee to provide insights for DEI initiatives and seeks to make diversity &#8220;an integral part of our culture of care.&#8221;
<a href="https://onelink.to/dwapp" target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer" aria-describedby="sk-tooltip-9096" data-saferedirecturl="https://www.google.com/url?q=https://onelink.to/dwapp&amp;source=gmail&amp;ust=1685202016677000&amp;usg=AOvVaw3BHv9qMQC3OwHMBCkGZXpF">CLICK HERE TO GET THE DAILYWIRE+ APP</a>
Skeptics of the ESG and DEI movements contend that the philosophies center on political and social causes, such as decreasing carbon emissions or diversifying company leadership, in a manner that distracts from profitability and uses corporate power to advance leftist agendas.
One recent <a href="https://www.dailywire.com/news/target-had-a-special-push-to-hire-lgbtq-designers-for-pride-collection-ahead-of-backlash" target="_blank" rel="noopener">analysis</a> from The Daily Wire found that Target, which is experiencing a boycott after the retail behemoth <a href="https://www.dailywire.com/news/target-slammed-after-offering-female-swimsuits-that-have-extra-crotch-coverage-are-tuck-friendly" target="_blank" rel="noopener">marketed</a> a female swimsuit as “tuck-friendly” and <a href="https://www.dailywire.com/news/target-faces-backlash-over-pride-collection-designer-behind-satan-respects-pronouns-shirts" target="_blank" rel="noopener">hired</a> an artist who creates Satanic items to make various designs for the company, had published a similar sustainability report which called for supplier diversity among firms creating “Pride Month” apparel, as well as diversity initiatives for women and racial minorities. Another <a href="https://www.dailywire.com/news/anheuser-busch-loses-perfect-lgbtq-equity-score-by-missing-key-moment-to-stand-up-for-mulvaney" target="_blank" rel="noopener">report</a> from The Daily Wire likewise revealed that Anheuser-Busch, the company which owns Bud Light and suffered after the brand partnered with social media influencer Dylan Mulvaney, has similar ESG commitments centered on various diversity and climate efforts.
Anheuser-Busch and Target, each of which are publicly traded, have seen their share prices plummet on the stock market as investors react to the boycott movements.
Chick-fil-A, which is privately owned, garnered <a href="https://www.dailywire.com/news/report-chick-fil-a-to-stop-donating-to-christian-charities-branded-anti-lgbt" target="_blank" rel="noopener">criticism</a> four years ago after its charitable foundation halted donations to a number of Christian organizations characterized as “anti-LGBTQ groups,” such as the Fellowship of Christian Athletes and the Salvation Army.

A Chick-fil-A owner in North Carolina had to pay back workers and was fined more than $6,000 after violating several child labor and minimum wage rules.
On Monday, the Department of Labor reportedly <a href="https://www.foxnews.com/us/north-carolina-chick-fil-a-owner-fined-violating-child-labor-laws-paying-workers-food-report" target="_blank" rel="noopener">released</a> a report saying that the Chick-fil-A <a href="https://www.dailymail.co.uk/news/article-11562749/North-Carolina-Chick-fil-paid-workers-CHICKEN.html" target="_blank" rel="noopener">site</a> in Hendersonville, North Carolina, permitted three employees who were minors to work, unload, or load a trash compactor. This resulted in the site, whose owner is Good Name 22:1 LLC, being fined $6,450. 
According to the <a href="https://www.dol.gov/agencies/whd/fact-sheets/43-child-labor-non-agriculture" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Department of Labor</a>, workers must be at least 18 years old to work in nonagricultural work that is “particularly hazardous for 16- and 17-year-old minors, or detrimental to their health or well-being.” Fourteen and fifteen-year-olds are also not allowed to do any jobs that are hazardous. Such hazardous jobs include “[m]anufacturing or storing explosives,” “[d]riving a motor vehicle or work as an outside helper on motor vehicles,” working in forest fire fighting, as well as “the operation of all compactors and balers and certain power-driven paper products machines,&#8221; and more.
The guidelines note that “[s]ixteen- and 17-year-olds may load, but not operate or unload, certain scrap paper balers and paper box compactors under very specific guidelines.”
The Department of Labor&#8217;s Wage and Hour Division also put fines in place on the Chick-fil-A site after it found that the site paid specific workers with meal vouchers rather than giving them real money. The workers were in charge of traffic in the drive-thru area and parking lot traffic. 
The restaurants had to shell out $235 in back pay to seven workers because they broke the rule.
Richard Blaylock, the Wage and Hour Division District director in Raleigh, North Carolina, said that keeping the youngest employees safe is a main focus of his group.
&#8220;Child labor laws ensure that when young people work, the work does not jeopardize their health, well-being or educational opportunities. In addition, employers are responsible to pay workers for all of the hours worked and the payment must be made in cash or legal tender,&#8221; he continued.
The Fair Labor Standards Act of 1938 (FLSA) <a href="https://www.history.com/topics/industrial-revolution/child-labor" target="_blank" rel="noopener">established</a> a minimum wage for the entire country, and established a limit on the amount of hours for those who worked in interstate commerce. It also put limits on the ability of kids to work. 
According to the <a href="https://www.dol.gov/agencies/whd/flsa#:~:text=The%20Fair%20Labor%20Standards%20Act%20(FLSA)%20establishes%20minimum%20wage,,,%20State,%20and%20local%20governments." target="_blank" rel="noopener">Department of Labor</a>, the child labor “provisions [of the FLSA] are designed to protect the educational opportunities of minors and prohibit their employment in jobs and under conditions detrimental to their health or well-being.”

A Florida employee of Chick-fil-A rushed to the rescue of a mother and her baby when a man attempted to carjack the mother’s car, police announced Wednesday.
Mykel Gordon ran toward the mother’s car after she had taken her child out of the car and William Branch, 43, of DeFuniak Springs, brandishing a stick, allegedly seized her keys from her waistband. Branch then got in the car as the woman screamed for help, prompting Gordon to yank Branch out of the car and struggle with him on the ground.
“A major shout-out to this young man for his courage!” the Okaloosa Sheriff’s office tweeted accompanying a video of the incident.
<blockquote class="twitter-tweet" data-width="500" data-dnt="true">
In reference to the FWB Chick-fil-A employee who ran to help a woman with a baby who was being carjacked, we want to say a sincere thank you to Ms. Kelner for providing video of a portion of the encounter.

<script async src="https://platform.twitter.com/widgets.js" charset="utf-8"></script>
&nbsp;
Matthew Sexton, who runs the Chick-fil-A branch in Fort Walton Beach where the incident occurred, told <a href="https://www.wapt.com/article/chick-fil-a-worker-praised-for-helping-a-woman-with-baby-who-was-being-carjacked/41225280" target="_blank" rel="noopener">CNN</a>, “I&#8217;m grateful for my amazing Team Member, Mykel Gordon, who so selflessly jumped in to intervene and help our Guests. I couldn&#8217;t be prouder of his incredible act of care.”
After Gordon tackled Branch, other employees joined in the effort to subdue the suspect.
Chick-fil-A employees have a long record of helping customers above and beyond the call of duty; in October 2019, after a woman dropped her phone and it slid into a storm drain, a Virginia employee of the Chick-fil-A not only refunded her food order but also did something incredible, pulling the manhole cover up from the street and then actually climbing down into the drain to retrieve her phone.
As <a href="https://katu.com/news/offbeat/chick-fil-a-climbs-down-storm-drain-to-get-customers-phone" target="_blank" rel="noopener">KATU</a> reported, Shauna Hall, from Stafford, Virginia, told her story <a href="https://www.facebook.com/shauna.hall07/posts/10219623415954385?__tn__=K-R" target="_blank" rel="noopener">on Facebook</a>, saying that the young man “calls the county trying to get some help. They hang up on him but we get the idea to go back out and call my phone to see if we can hear it (fearing we won’t as the hole is most definitely full of water because of course we are in the middle of a drought but had a full day of rain yesterday).”
&#8220;He then climbs down into the hole and retrieves my phone which miraculously is not broken or wet. I was so thankful I freaking hugged him. Not only did he slice his finger and was filthy from laying on the ground and climbing in the hole, I find out he had actually just gotten off shift and was still willing to help me,&#8221; she added.
For other examples of employees of Chick-fil-A going beyond the call of duty, there was the time a <a href="https://www.dailywire.com/news/worlds-best-service-chick-fil-manager-sends-boat-hank-berrien" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Chick-fil-A manager sent a boat to rescue an elderly couple in Houston</a>, or the time an employee of Chick-fil-A <a href="https://www.dailywire.com/news/watch-chick-fil-employee-shows-why-chick-fil-wins-hank-berrien" target="_blank" rel="noopener">ran after a car whose occupant had forgotten their order</a>. Another time, a teenage boy working at a Chick-fil-A looked through the drive-thru window and <a href="https://www.dailywire.com/news/watch-teenage-chick-fil-employee-does-something-hank-berrien" target="_blank" rel="noopener">noticed that a 6-year-old boy in a car in the drive-thru lane was choking</a>, so he jumped through the drive-thru window and ran to the car. Once there, he found the mother of the boy begging for someone to help her save her child from being choked by a seatbelt that had gotten tangled around his neck. He then yanked out his pocketknife and cut the young child free.

<a href="https://www.dailywire.com/topic/mcdonalds">McDonald’s</a> is bringing a popular U.K. menu item to its American customers as the so-called “chicken sandwich wars” rage on.
Now some patrons will be able to get their beloved <a href="https://www.dailywire.com/topic/food">Big Mac</a> sandwich with chicken instead of beef, the New York Post <a href="https://nypost.com/2022/08/22/mcdonalds-finally-brings-hit-twist-on-classic-big-mac-to-the-us/">reported</a>, as the fast food chain competes with rivals such as Popeyes and <a href="https://www.dailywire.com/topic/chick-fil-a">Chick-fil-A</a>. The menu addition has already been a big hit across the pond, which leads McDonald’s execs to believe the new Big Mac will be well-received stateside as well. USA Today <a href="https://www.usatoday.com/story/money/food/2022/08/21/mcdonalds-chicken-big-mac-united-states/7860782001/">reported</a> that the chicken Big Mac was such a sensation there that it sold out completely in two weeks.
&#8220;We&#8217;re always looking to give our fans more ways to enjoy the classic menu items they know and love,&#8221; McDonald&#8217;s said in a statement. &#8220;Made with two crispy tempura chicken patties, our iconic Big Mac sauce, and topped off with pickles, shredded lettuce, and American cheese, this sandwich brings some of our fans&#8217; favorite flavors together for the perfect bite.&#8221;
The chicken-based sandwich will debut for a limited time in certain Miami locations. If it’s successful, there’s a chance of this alternative Big Mac being expanded to other regions.
“Chicken continues to be a significant opportunity for us. … We’ve got some great global equities already in our McNuggets and with McChicken, but we also have some equities in McCrispy and McSpicy that we think we’ve got an opportunity to do more with globally. So that’s going to be a priority area,” McDonald’s CEO Chris Kempczinski said in a Q2 earnings call, per the Post.
“While not everything we test makes it on our U.S. menus, we’ll use this time to gather feedback from both customers and restaurant crew as we consider opportunities to offer more delicious options in the future,&#8221; the company said.
McDonald’s is the highest-grossing fast food chain in the United States, but Chick-fil-A has been steadily climbing in popularity and bested Burger King as of 2020 to become the second most popular fast food restaurant on the list, per <a href="https://www.foxbusiness.com/lifestyle/chick-fil-a-lands-behind-mcdonalds-as-second-highest-grossing-fast-food-chain">Fox News</a>. 
Meanwhile, a poll by the American Customer Satisfaction Index (ACSI) <a href="https://www.franchisewire.com/why-is-chick-fil-a-better-than-mcdonalds/">found</a> that Chick-fil-A was far more popular with customers from a satisfaction standpoint. It topped the poll with a score of 83 on the scale, while McDonald’s only achieved a score of 70.
The items used to calculate satisfaction included staff courtesy and helpfulness, checkout/delivery speed, the accuracy of the order, restaurant layout and cleanliness, food and beverage variety and quality, mobile app quality and reliability, and website.
