A Broken Cheeseburger

The Chili’s restaurant chain has a policy of cutting their hamburger and cheeseburger patties down the middle to make sure that the meat is properly cooked.  This has a real and completely understandable purpose: to prevent poorly cooked meat which could sicken a customer due to bacterial contamination.  So what do you do when a child refuses to eat the cheeseburger because it is “broken.”  Would it change your response to learn that the child is autistic?

This link is one of many about the Broken Cheeseburger.  The incident is not specifically “religious” but points out the power of common kindness.
