HOUSTON – People who are fans of Chick-Fil-A's cole slaw are angry after word spread that the restaurant chain is dropping the dish from its menu.

The company has decided to replace the cole slaw with a kale salad. Chick-Fil-A said it is making the change because people are looking for healthier ways to eat.
