Fast food company Chick-fil-A sees a backlash on social media after its CEO speaks out against gay marriage.
Wednesday marked Chick-fil-A Appreciation Day. Across the United States, conservatives gathered in chicken restaurants to show support for the company after its president, Dan Cathy, came out against gay marriage. Democratic mayors in Chicago and Boston at first threatened to halt expansion of the Chick-fil-A chain to their cities, which turned a question of sexual morality into a debate about freedom of speech. The motto of conservative Christians seems to be, "They'll take my chicken from my cold dead hand..."
Gay rights activists are planning to hold on Friday a "national same-sex kiss day at Chick-fil-A," the restaurant chain whose president's opposition to same-sex marriage sparked a media frenzy.

Dan Cathy, the CEO of Chick-fil-A, proudly proclaimed his opposition to marriage equality and drew flak from politicians and citizens nationwide, who said Cathy's position made the chain unwelcome on their turf. Some of the condemnation crossed the line, offending the First Amendment. Some did not. Many don't understand where the line is, and now a population already sharply divided over same-sex marriage is collectively less informed about the First Amendment.
Don Perry, the vice president of public relations for Chick-fil-A, has died, according to a statement from the University of Georgia, where he served on the board of the journalism school.
Ordering lunch just got a lot more complicated than deciding how to answer, "Do you want fries with that?"
A new consumer survey has crowned In-N-Out Burger as the nation's fast food favorite, while giving low marks to iconic chains such as McDonald's, Burger King and KFC.
It has all the right ingredients for a tense situation: Scorching hot weather. Relentless humidity. Sidewalks, subways and hotels packed to capacity. Long lines. Nerds and jocks.
In Shrek Forever After, America's favorite green ogre gives up a day to get one, and then regrets his choice. Perhaps McDonald's -- now facing a $15 million recall of Shrek drinking glasses tainted with a toxic metal -- wishes it had that option as well.
Just two days after its nationwide launch, the KFC Double Down is a media sensation. The sandwich is a visual pun: In lieu of bread, there are two slabs of fried -- or grilled -- chicken encasing a filling of bacon, waxen cheese, and the "Colonel's sauce." The flavor and texture of the chicken is redolent of the meat at Chick-fil-A, with an aftertaste that can only be described as salty. With its craggy exterior and palate of primary colors, the Double Down resembles a castoff from Sesame Street. It looks like it's smiling at you, as though it were in on the joke of its existence.

ATLANTA -- After a torturous two-plus hours of watching the Hawks hand it to them in Game 1 of their Eastern Conference first round series, the Miami Heat were forced through one final indignity Sunday night. With 6.4 seconds left, and the score 90-64, the ball went out of bounds, forcing the final media timeout of the game. For two and a half minutes, T-shirts were shot into the crowd, the A-Town dancers pranced on the floor and the Chick fil-A cow handed out goodies to fans near the Heat bench.
Sanderson Farms had to make a crucial decision last year about corn feed, one of the poultry seller's major costs. Chairman and CEO Joe Sanderson looked at several metrics, then had "a big prayer meeting" aabout whether or not to lock in feed prices, which had then skyrocketed to $8 a bushel.
Some of you think that I and other financial reporters have been full of too much doom and gloom. If we just, like Anna in "The King and I," just whistled a happy tune, there would be no recession.

ANNIKA SORENSTAM will not need surgery on the ruptured and herniated disks in her neck, but she will miss at least four to six weeks while rehabbing the injuries. The No. 1 player in the world had been suffering pain for the past few weeks, and it got severe enough that after her April 11 practice round and press conference for the Ginn Open, Sorenstam went to see a doctor, who made the diagnosis. The next day she flew to Miami to consult a neurosurgeon. On Monday, Sorenstam, 36, opened her Annika Academy at Reunion, near Orlando, where her first student was Hootie and the Blowfish singer Darius Rucker. She hopes to be back on the course for the tournament she hosts, the Ginn Tribute, which begins on May 31 in Mount Pleasant, N.C. What does all this mean in the bigger picture? It looks as if Kathy Whitworth's record is safe. Sorenstam, who has 69 career wins, had been gunning for Whitworth's LPGA standard of 88 victories.
