Yup. It was predictable. A cause group has, in a way, thanked Denny’s for bringing the plight of chickens to the forefront of the public’s mind. As you recall, Denny’s poked fun at what chickens would have to go through to lay all the eggs needed for the company’s Grand Slam breakast promotion.
Farm Sanctuary President and Co-Founder Gene Baur said, “In a surprise move, Denny’s, home of the Grand Slam breakfast, inadvertently delivered a powerful animal protection message to millions of Super Bowl fans during Sunday’s game between the Saints and the Colts. I say ‘surprise’ because it’s not every day that a major restaurant chain makes a public acknowledgment (and during the Super Bowl no less) of the animal suffering that goes into the creation of their menu items, but that is precisely what Denny’s did with their ‘Chicken Warning’ ads.”
Baur added, “Denny’s (however unintentionally) made the connection between animal suffering and the food on their menu, giving viewers a glimpse at the nasty truth behind eggs.”
Will anyone think twice the next time they order scrambled eggs? We think not.
