...under this CEO, and it's not the food causing it.

Read my other comment on this. If you are in the "country food" business, then by and large, you need to cater to your existing clientele if you want to stay in business... If you attempt to push a social agenda that nearly anybody would tell you is going to reap massive resistance, then get ready to shitcan your business.

Social agendas on either side will not work when trying to "reach across the aisle". It pisses current customers off and doesn't attract new ones.
