I used to go through 6 month cycles with it (years ago) - Wouldn't have any for about 6 months, think "hmm...I fancy KFC, haven't had it in a while". Get KFC. Feel slightly ill and disappointed. Not eat another for about 6 months! :b

Facking salty, battery hens, jet washed off the bones, reconstructed popcorn 20% chicken if your lucky, pumped with hormones, additives and water shite!
Not a fan if you haven't guessed

Oooo how I hate fast food joints.
If you do have a fast food issue, perhaps hooked on all that fat, salt and shite.
Want to free yourself from fast food crap? Never have to go in one of those shitty 'restaurants' again?
Try reading this. It's brilliantly written by the way. Surprisingly a bit of a page turner.

i,m so poor i have to go to kfc and lick other peoples fingers :lol
-
Notice they've changed the name from Kentucky Fried Chicken to KFC... Why
Because legely they are not allowed to call it chicken anymore.
It's so geneticlly modified that the birds no longer look like a chickens. No feathers, no feet and no beaks. Just brains looking at that link.

i recently took kids for one & thought that the pieces had got smaller
I too try & avoid it but for £10 fed 3 kids & me for a lunch which was cheaper than us going for fish & chips or a subway. the other option was one of the many pastie shops but not many you can sit in when its cold & wet & waiting for Mrs!!
-
Been to kfc twice in my life. Was ill after it both times.. Nuff said...

They do still call it chicken, have a look at the website. It's called KFC because it's catchier.
-
Have you looked at Kentucky Fried Cruelty?
Google it...

I must be one of the only people on here that thinks it tastes alright :pc

I like it :) Zinger tower burger with some hotwings please.

I like the chicken and the BBQ beans but can't stand the things they call fries.
-
Unlucky fried kitten......:'( Me no like.
-
I very rarely eat it because my wife is coeliac and can't eat gluten, so it's not somewhere we can eat as a family, but I have to confess to liking a bit of KFC, or as Tori calls it, unlucky fried kitten (not used that phrase for years LOL).
I remember having a big daddy meal the night we had our 2nd child (the name seemed fitting) ooooooo it was pure filth......gorgeous! :b
-
Well i throw caution to the wind, an occasional visit is fine with me, usually quite pleased with it.never had a bad one or been ill, mind my guts from my upbringing on the farm is made of steel.
Eating cow cake ,drinking water from cow troughs,and from brooks. It sets you up for life.

Takes me back. 30 years ago I was in the fried chicken business.
Used to have hundreds of chickens delivered in every week. I bet I can still cut a chicken into 8 pieces blindfolded :lol
-
I had to stop eating it cos I couldnt understand a word the staff were saying, we have two round here and not one single English person works in either of them!! :grumble
-
Hmmm seems quantity may not be the most pressing concern here! :\
-
And All burgers are 100% fillet steak, that's what the woman in tescos told me :rollin
-
It's more the price that concerns me
-
Well, there'll be no horse meat in it.
Right? ;)
-
And All burgers are 100% fillet steak, that's what the woman in tescos told me :rollin
Did she specify what animal? No? Then she might've been telling the truth :D
-
I have a young relative who works in KFC. She tells me the bulk of the chicken is currently coming from Brazil.
And of course it's third world meat factories (can't really call em farms now can you) that are worrying many scientists. The intense production is a breeding ground for disease and bacteria etc, the factories being major bulk users of antibiotics and numerous vaccines, (not to mention growth hormones) plus some research has suggested that recent cases of bird flu in humans maybe have been as a result of the virus mutating and jumping the species gap as a result of such low quality factory farms.
One wonders that if there ever is another global flu pandemic, will it be a result of our love of fast food and disregard for how it is produced.
-
Hmmm, wonder if the medical world are aware we could prevent a pandemic by avoiding KFC!!! :lol
-
I used to work there about 6 or 7 years ago, it's not a new thing that some of it comes in from abroad. The pieces of chicken used to come in refrigerated so I would assume that they are sourced nationally and slaughtered within a day or so of delivery but everything else comes in frozen.
-
This might be an Urban myth but during the Vietnam war apparently when a battle had finished it was sometimes many weeks before the bodies could be reclaimed. It was noted that the American dead were less decomposed than the Vietnamese and was probably due to the large amount of preservatives in the food the Americans had eaten. I don't think this was a good thing though?

Kfc yuck, i much prefer mcdonalds thanks!!!! :pokefun
-
It's not just KFC , Subway import their cooked meat, the chicken is from china or similar, cooked ,chilled and impoted, all that way and sold as "fresh"

Read this on your advice, not a bad book and it was interesting to read about the history of America from that perspective. Unfortunately, after working part time jobs in the service industry, reading about the corporate attitude to workers and money isn't particularly shocking.

Had my first McD in 6 years last night. YUK.
Will be another 6 years before I stop burping it up I reckon :crazy
-
on the subject of food,just had a wagon wheel as a mid morning snack and noticed on the packaging that they are now made with a " new chocolatey taste ".......so chocolate that tastes of chocolate !!! what will they think of next :rolleyes :rolleyes

Possibly because it's not actually chocolate? A delicious biscuit centre with a chocolate flavour covering maybe?

I read somewhere that older people have a higher incidence of cancer so maybe we should avoid aging.
-
Noggy, one slight correction to your comment above.
This shite has been on display for 2 years
McD etc is not food.
-
Ha ha,so true, forgive me
Eat shit and die-1 billion flies can't be wrong!!! :b
-
Everything increases your risk of cancer it seems. A quick google search (scanned the first page of results) shows that smoking (obviously), pan fried meat, worrying and snoring all increase the risk of cancer.
-
I heard that bandit riders have an increased chance of cancer.....
From breathing in fazer exhaust fumes! ;)
-
First and last time I ate KFC was 27 February 1979 04.30 Grays Inn Road, Kings Cross.
Ate it. Left 'restaurant'. Immediately threw up in street. And I had not been drinking or drugging.
Never touched that shit since.
-

See my above post, snoring increases your chance of cancer ;) :D

When was that photo taken?
-
4/22/2010 That what is says under the picture.
-
Ah, that good old picture.
Couple of things to note:
Just because it's not covered in mould doesn't mean it's not off. It will be rancid and would make you very ill if you ate it.
The reason it isn't mouldy is because it's dry. There's no ketchup or mustard on the burger and the fries are well salted. Dry food means no mould. Ever seen prosciutto? It's made the way it is for just this reason.
You could take home made bread and a hand made beef burger and wind up with exactly the same picture.
And don't even get me started on fast food nation. The guy had an underlying liver condition (which he didn't bother to mention) and went from a vegan diet straight to a diet where he got all of his protein from meat. Having seen a flat mate go from a meat-based diet to a vegan diet overnight, radically changing your diet in any way means your body has to adapt to cope and that means temporary side effects.
There was a Swedish study (I think) that attempted to recreate fast food nation under reliable conditions. The students didn't even put on any weight.
There's propaganda on both sides. I don't eat fast food, so I'm hardly on their side, but don't discount the (more insidious IMO) propaganda of the anti fast food brigade.
-
Well mr tibbs,thanks for pissin on my parade :D
I've no doubt you're right, i got it off facebook then fogged it off as my own,shame on me!!!!
If it gets folk eatin more healthy then that's what matters though so im all for it.
I watched that experiment on telly where they simulated a house wi lots of different foods,a big glass box it was,i can't remember anything in the house lasting as well as those burgers,the flies were horrendous,it showed the natural order of things.
Back to the thread though i dont know why i don't like kfc as i do have the odd mcdonalds,subway etc but kfc somehow pisses me off,maybe the decor or the stupid uniform or somethin.

To me Fast Food Nation is much more than just a book about junk food. It may well in fact be a book about the history of Fast Food and today's American food industry, but it's also a book about capitalism and globalisation, and it's the fast food industry that has led the way in modern industrial greed and propaganda.
As far as I am aware Eric Schlosser has never been been a vegetarian never mind a vegan. Never heard of the liver condition either. Fast Food Nation is a meticulously researched and detailed piece of quality investigative journalism. It's also a great read, Eric Schlosser is not only a good journalist but an excellent and entertaining writer, the book is in fact a bit of a 'page turner'. It cannot simply be dismissed as mere propaganda. Anybody who is remotely interested in where their food comes from and practises of the global food industry should read it. And I'll bet if you never given it much thought before, well you might just give it a little bit more thought after you've read Eric's excellent book.
I'm not a vegetarian but, having been in these plants and feedlots and processing facilities, I'm very angry about how the big agribusiness companies are producing our meat. I've thought about [being vegetarian] and I think there are very strong arguments for it, not just on the more selfish health-oriented grounds, but really on ethical, moral grounds. I have friends who are ranchers. I don't know. There are glutamate receptors in our taste buds, which are clearly linked to the consumption of meat. For me, the important thing is some kind of connection to what you are doing, some kind of respect, and somehow affording a sense of dignity to these creatures that we have co-existed with for thousands of years. Our current system doesn't do this. People have so little idea of how cattle and hogs and poultry are being raised and slaughtered. For me it was really important to let them know. You can read the book and become vegetarian, or keep eating meat, but you really should know where your food is coming from, and we don't. We're such a suburban urbanized nation that's completely cut off from any sense of this. Eric Schlosser

Ah, bear in mind I mixed up fast good nation (quite an interesting book) with Super Size Me (load of tosh). Apologies for that.
Things are never as simple as we think. Also bear in mind that a lot of the bad stuff we hear is from the USA where laws about animal husbandry are much more lax than the UK and Europe.
-
Silly tibbs
Go sit on the naughty step!
Does this forum have a naughty step?
Supersize me was entertaining though,every time they said 'do you wanna supersize that?' He had to say yes.
Like every time my mrs says ' should we get a takeaway' i also hav to say yes :rolleyes
-
I like the Zinger tower meal and the Fully Loaded box meal mmm :b Feck all wrong with KFC :D
-

US food standards are arguably some of the lowest in the western world. However considering that Findus Beef Lasagne turns out to be Findus Horse Lasagne in reality and that fast food restaurants source their meat internationally, well make up your own mind, I know I've made up mine.
-
I read somewhere that during the Vietnam war there were decomposing bodies of dead soldiers from both sides lay around the jungle, it was noted that the American bodies did not decompose for at least two weeks longer than the locals due to the fact of the Americans diet with food preservatives and chemicals in them.

So it doesn't show us what the food looks like now...

Fair points. There may be propaganda on both sides, but one side is trying to keep people healthy. I mean shock, horror, students didn't get fat eating burgers?
Have a gander at what happens when you compare your "hand made" burgers with the long-life fast food crap;
