you know what?

if you're eating at kfc (or micky d's or wendys or burger king or the like) chances are you are NOT going to be getting the healthiest meal on the planet. NO ONE IS FORCING YOU TO GO INTO A KFC. NO ONE IS FORCING YOU TO EAT FRIED CHICKEN (or a burger, or whatever). it's similar to the suit (which was dropped i believe) saying certain foods make you fat. DUH DUH AND DUH. it's YOUR body, it's YOUR mind it's YOUR CHOICE you bunch of steamin' wankers.

Fat is a consumer issue: KFC in dock over cooking oil
By Andrew Gumbel in Los Angeles
Published: 15 June 2006
A US food safety organisation is suing Kentucky Fried Chicken for its use of a type of cooking oil that government scientists agree can be potentially damaging to consumers' health.
The Centre for Science in the Public Interest (CSPI) filed the suit in Washington arguing that KFC, more than any other restaurant chain, relies on partly hydrogenated oils for its food. Those oils contain trans fat, a notoriously indigestible substance that food reformers have been campaigning to eliminate from the American diet.
According to the suit, a typical KFC Extra Crispy combo meal, containing a chicken drumstick, two wings, potato wedges and an American-style breakfast biscuit contains 15g of trans fat, more than anyone should consume in a week. CSPI is suing on behalf of all KFC consumers, with one named plaintiff, a retired doctor from Maryland who alleges he had no idea his purchases from KFC over the years were exposing him to trans fat-related health risks..........


(and just an fyi, i have NEVER in my whole life had fried chicken. not at kfc, not homemade, not anywhere. since i'm now vegan, it ain't gonna happen in the future either. the last meat i ate, probably longer than a lot of you have been alive, was a whopper jr avec cheese)
