Why Is A Fast-Food Giant Going After A One-Man Business?
Bo Muller-Moore sells $25 hand-stenciled "Eat More Kale" T-shirts that he cranks out one at a time in his Vermont home, and this has ruffled the feathers of Chick-fil-A.
The fast-food chain, which rang up $3.5 billion in sales in 2010, is trying to put Muller-Moore out of business—for the second time in five years. Chick-fil-A, which is second only to king-of-the-fast-food-coop KFC, considers him a threat to the brand.
Chick-fil-A says Muller-Moore's T-shirt business, founded in 2000, infringes on its trademarked slogan "Eat Mor Chikin." It's a [deliberately-misspelled] advertising campaign the Atlanta-based chain launched in 1995 and, according to the company website, changed the burger-eating landscape forever. The message "reaches millions—on television, radio, the Internet, and the occasional water tower," explains the website. (The closest Chick-fil-A to Vermont is in Nashua, N.H., more than 120 miles away.)

Me thinks the Bible says something about Christians suing . Yep it does, "Actually, then, it is already a defeat for you, that you have lawsuits with one another. Why not rather be wronged? Why not rather be defrauded?” (1 Corinthians 6
).
Hmmm. This is what happens when you start throwing the Bible at people.

I'm saying it isn't unusual for the big fast foodies to act like jerks about what they perceive as corporate theft or restraint of trade or whatever, even when it isn't.
I am a vegetarian and a lesbian, so it isn't exactly like I'm sticking up for CFA. 
McDonald's does certainly hold themselves as operating with Good American Values.
It's hardly a new phrase..
It was right next to my "Keep on Truckin'" sticker on my pickem up truck..
