'Woke' fried chicken? Fast food chain at center of US culture wars

The “Lord’s chicken” no more: US fast food chain Chick-fil-A — beloved among Americans for its sandwiches, nuggets and milkshakes — found itself on the receiving end of right-wing ire this week, accused of succumbing to “woke” ideology.

After conservative customers realized the company employs a “diversity, equity and inclusion” representative, it has joined the ranks of other seemingly innocuous brands now facing calls for boycotts, such as mega supermarket Target and Bud Light beer.
