Ketucky Fried Chicken
KFC GETS BURNED FOR USING UNHEALTHY FAT
A U.S. Consumer group sued the operator of the KFC fried chicken restaurant chain on Tuesday to try and force it to stop it from frying foods in an artery-clogging fat.

Kentucky Fried Chicken - KFC (Hover)
I agree with Konquererz. This is even worse than the lawsuits that have been brought against other fast-food restaurants like McDonalds. None of them ever advertised they were healthy; they are simply fast, cheap and convenient alternatives. For anyone who has ever been to a KFC, they know that as soon as you pick up a piece of chicken, your fingers are immediately covered with oil and grease, even before you bite into it. That my friends, is not the definition of healthy eating.
I don't know why KFC are getting targeted in this way. In my opinion, all the fast food chains are all as guilty of serving up unhealthy food as each other.
It's not exactly unknown to the consumer either, so with this in mind,I think that the consumer has to carry some of the blame, as nobody makes you eat fast food takeaways!
I think people enjoy making "much ado about nothing." I agree with all the responses here; if you are aware that the fast food is laden with cholesterol and therefore, bad for your health, no one is forcing you to consume it. Just say no!
Rather off topic, but... Alternatively, if you are so concerned about other people's health, why not write a book about it! You can even name the book, "the Hazards of Eating Fast Foods." I am sure a lot of people would read this book and make a decision about whether or not, to continue eating fast foods! |
I can't say that I agree to that one, I love KFC!
I don't go very often for 2 reasons, 1 is that my Husband and daughter can't eat any of the food on the menu there due to them having Coeliacs disease, and the second reason is that as in most fast food restaurants the food isn't that healthy for you.
(Which makes it taste all the better, when I manage a rare treat of a visit to KFC on my own )
