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

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 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.

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?

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.

Post by: Tibbs on 11 February 2013, 12:08:40 pm
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.

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.


Quote
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

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.
