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

Re: KFC - VNA - 17-01-13
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.
Re: KFC - Doddsie - 18-01-13
Hmmm, wonder if the medical world are aware we could prevent a pandemic by avoiding KFC!!! :lol
Re: KFC - DryRob - 18-01-13
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?

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.

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.
