The "I Didn't Comment in Another Thread" Thread

[CleverNickName]

You know what's on my nerves about pizza right now? Facebook. Facebook is ruining pizza for me.

I just had to have a conversation with my spouse about where to order pizza from tonight. Not based on who has the best tasting pizza, not based on who is closest or cheapest. No. This was about the fact that the owner of the best local pizzeria decided to go on a rant on the company Facebook page. For the purpose of following board rules, lets just say it was about a political stance that we mostly disagree with. So now we have to ask the hard questions: Does this mean we don't order pizza from there? For how long? Does the fact that they took it down matter? Do we now need to check Facebook pages from the other local pizza joints to make sure they're not jerks or supporting other politics we don't like?

Gosh darn Facebook.

You're better off ordering from a new place anyway. In my experience, political opinions can indeed ruin the taste of food, even your favorites. Once I learned the truth about Chick-Fil-A's secret ingredient*, I can't taste anything else. Heck, it's so off-putting that get a bad taste in my mouth just walking by their establishment.

*not really a secret anymore

The problem is where to draw the line.

I mean, all giant corporations are going to be evil. Is Target, really less evil than Wal-Mart?

You've ultimately gotta draw the line somewhere. That, or just throw up your hands, make peace that there is really no ethical consumption anyway and enjoy your Slurpee while the world burns.

The drive-thru lines that extend well out of the parking lot even in my very blue state suggest many people do not share that opinion.

Sure, we draw lines at some point. There's a pretty big gulf between recognizing that there's no perfectly ethical existence and fully embracing nihilism.

I'm just still trying to figure out how I ought to feel when it turns out that every guillotine company is a subsidiary of McEvilMegacorp.

Wait, what's the secret ingredient to the mediocre chicken?

There is no accounting for taste.
