Chick-fil-A •

Everyone who sticks to the “no cell phone during dinner time” rule will receive a free ice-cream.

BEACON TRANSCRIPT – To avoid situations where people would come to have a family dinner just to end up looking at their smartphones, Chick-Fil-A decided to make some changes. Chick-Fil-A appointed a no phone policy in their diners, thus wanting to make sure that people spend more time talking to each other than head buried in their cellphones.

Chick-Fil-A, the famous fast-food restaurant recently joined the “talk to each other more” campaign. As of today, those who put their phones away during dinner time will be rewarded with a free cone of delicious, “home-made ice-cream”.

The restaurant said that this move was necessary because most of the customers were spending far too much timer posting stuff on Facebook or Twitter, rather than enjoying some quality time with their friends.

And it’s very quaint to plan a get-together with your friends or your family if all you’re going to do during the escapade is to fidget your phone. Chick-Fil-A and others saw that the best way to talk customers out of putting their phones away during dinner is to offer small rewards like free ice-cream.

In fact, there were some pubs, in England, I believe, who would hang out a little plaque writing something like: “we don’t have any Wi-Fi. Try talking to each other.” Of course, this attitude also gave birth to a long series of Internet memes. There’s one in particular which is mildly amusing and sad at the same time. A group of girls are sitting at the table with an elderly person. All of them were looking at the phones. Meanwhile, the senior citizen had to sit there, quietly, waiting for his dinner.

There are many examples such as this one, and all of them point towards an elementary fact: we have gradually lost the ability to interact with other human beings without an intermediary.

Well, it would seem that Chick-Fil-A was made aware of this aspect, and decided to do something positive. And so, the diner’s management went ahead and introduced the No cell phone policy.

So, after you place your order, you will receive a box. To receive the free ice-cream, all that you’ll have to do is to put your phone inside the magic box and leave it there until dinner is over.

Brad Williams, Chick-Fil-A’s operator, said that this new policy is starting to sprout wings. Not only do the clients began to abide by it in hope they will receive a free ice-cream, but some of them have requested to take the phone box home.

Chick-Fil-A appointed a no phone policy and according to the chain’s operator, the method has gained some popularity.

"Cleanse Your Body of Toxins with a Chicken Nugget Diet"

Chick-File-A printed health tips on a couple of takeout bags.

BEACON TRANSCRIPT – Forget about greens, fruits and lean meat, because Chick-fil-A has the answer to all our dietary issues. According to the small, yet visible fine print found on the restaurant’s doggie bags, you can cleanse your body of toxins with a chicken nugget diet.

While most US citizens seek out new ways to improve their lifestyle, there are others who choose to take the high road, so to say. And the last place you would want to go in order to gulp down a healthy, well-balanced and nutritional sound meal is Chick-fil-A.

What is Chick-fil-A? Basically, it’s one of the largest fast-food restaurants in the United States, serving only chicken-based meals. It’s basically like a KFC, but without Colonel’s chicken-murdering gaze. Apparently this whole thing erupted when the fast-food chain decided that it’s high time to give its customers a couple of dietary guidelines.

Tray papers filled with nutritional tables and tips were not enough to convince the customer that to feel healthy and slim you first have to start with a well-balanced meal. And so, Chick-fil-A decided to print a couple of special doggie bags.

Once someone would order a meal on the go, he or she would have received a thin paper bag printed with health tips. One of these tips was called the chicken nugget diet, chicken nugget cleanse or the chicken nugget detox.

You can now cleanse your body of toxins with a chicken nugget diet. According to the tips printed on the doggie bags, in order to leave a healthy, disease-free life, you should consider eating more meals per day, but eating less at each meal. This seems like pretty sound advice, considering the fact that any bony fide nutritionist would tell you the same thing.

But, there’s a twist to the print on the doggie bag. The fast-food chain recommends a meal at a regular interval of 3 to four hours. During this impromptu meal, we should consider consuming an 8-pack of searing nuggets.

Of course, this transgression didn’t go unpunished, so to speak. Lisa Moskovitz, a dietician and a nutritionist, who is also the CEO of the NYNG, declared that it’s not a good idea to take fruits and vegetables off the menu for a chicken nugget diet. While this kind of meals are packed with proteins and calories, it would seem that they are still unhealthy. Moreover, such a diet would lead to a whole lot of metabolical and cardiovascular diseases.

Not to mention the fact that you can wave bye-bye to your weight loss plan. We should also add the fact that such a diet is not only unhealthy but expensive. This means that you would have to spend no less than 700 bucks per month on your chicken nugget diet.
