Dangerous Ideas

I know very little about Chevy’s, except up until recently, I had a vague dislike of them. I think it’s because a few years back they ran a radio commercial making fun of vegans (a man takes his girlfriend to Chevy’s, says they have all sorts of things, and names them; when she says she’s vegan, he tells her to order the “air burrito). It wasn’t particularly bad, just a small turn off. I mean, it’s not as annoying as “the other white meat” and definitely far less evil than the milk industry telling women to drink more milk to avoid osteoporosis when the people who drink cow’s milk get their bones broken more than people who don’t.

But now Chevy’s has given a much stronger reason not to patronize them. Chevy’s decided to fire workers who participated in the May Day march for immigrant rights and immigration reform. So, I guess I won’t be having any “air burritos” any time soon. Granted, this is an individual franchise in Tracy, so maybe this is a bit much to judge the entire chain by, but it certainly isn’t helping them out any.
