Since it's clearly just a case of corporate bullying, Vermont Gov. Peter Shumlin is on the case and set up the Eat More Kale Legal Fund, where people can buy "Team Kale" merch to help support Bo's legal fees as he takes on this corporate giant. Change.org is also hosting a petition that I encourage all of you to take a minute to sign:
Sign the Petition to Save Eat More Kale
I love Eat More Kale and I think that Bo's a great guy. When I did an Eat More Kale lent back in July of 2010, I wrote to him and he sent me a bunch of bumper stickers with a nice note back. It's absolutely absurd to me that Chick-fil-A is taking it this far and I really hope that all this does is boost Bo's business.
This is my favorite quote on the matter which comes from Gov. Shumlin:
"Don't mess with Vermont. Don't mess with kale. And, Chick-fil-A, get out of the way because we are going to win this one"

You'd better believe I'm ordering some Team Kale merch
I signed the petition. Chick-Fil-A sucks for a variety of reasons, this is just the latest one. Thanks for bringing it to our attention!
