I'm sure Casper can relate that back to KFC refresher towels somehow.
Suity
PS. BTW, you just can't beat the lemongrass scented refresher towels, and as you say, the new ones actually make your hands feel MORE greasy. As if there isn't enough grease in that beautiful chicken already!!
KFC suppliers cram birds into huge waste-filled factories, breed and drug them to grow so large that they cant even walk, and often break their wings and legs. At slaughter, the birds throats are slit and they are dropped into tanks of scalding-hot wateroften while they are still conscious. It would be illegal for KFC to abuse dogs, cats, pigs, or cows in these ways.
KFCs own animal welfare advisors have asked the company to take steps to eliminate these abuses, but KFC refuses to do so. Many advisors have now resigned in frustration.

The outside might be good but the inside is nasty. They genetically engineer the chickens to be blind have no beeks and no feet. They stack them on top of one another 40 chickens high. They are also tube fed.

KFC Grilled Chicken:Unthink Your Health!
by Vin Miller
Fortunately for us, and unfortunately for KFC, the ingredients of their food is available on
their website. Heres whats in KFCs Grilled Chicken:
Maltodextrin, Salt, Bleached Wheat Flour, Partially Hydrogenated Soybean and Cottonseed Oil, Monosodium Glutamate, Spices, Palm Oil, Natural Flavor, Garlic Powder, Soy Sauce (Soybean, Wheat, Salt), Chicken Fat, Chicken Broth, Autolyzed Yeast, Beef Powder, Rendered Beef Fat, Extractives of Turmeric, Dehydrated Carrot, Onion Powder, and Not More Than 2% Each of Calcium Silicate and Silicon Dioxide Added as Anticaking Agents.
Where do I begin?
I suppose Ill address each of the unhealthy ingredients in order.
Maltodextrin: The very first ingredient, which means its also the most abundant ingredient, is sugar! Among the many problems associated with sugar, it suppresses your immune system, promotes imbalance of intestinal flora, causes
blood sugar fluctuation which can lead to diabetes, promotes weight gain, can cause neurotransmitter imbalance that leads to depression, and can even lead to addiction.
Salt: While
natural sea salt is an essential part of good health, the highly refined table salt that KFC most likely uses contains unhealthy additives, is stripped of its magnesium and trace minerals, and is bleached to hide the discoloration caused by the processing. Refined table salt is associated with heavy metal toxicity, Alzheimers disease, high blood pressure, and kidney problems.
Bleached Wheat Flour: Flour is a highly refined source of carbohydrates that causes many of the same problems as sugar. Furthermore, many people have issues
digesting wheat and anyone who is gluten intolerant may be in for a surprise if they eat KFCs chicken thinking that its gluten free.
Partially Hydrogenated Soybean and Cottonseed Oil: Heres where things start to get ugly. Cottonseed oil and soybean oil are vegetable oils that are high in omega-6 fatty acids. Although this type of fatty acid cannot be produced by the human body and must be part of our diet, it must also be consumed in an approximately equal ratio to omega-3 fatty acids. The typical modern diet is much too high in omega-6 fatty acids and the imbalance this causes is associated with all kinds of problems including heart disease, cancer and impaired brain function.
It gets worse. Soy isnt healthy under any conditions because it contains substances that interfere with mineral absorption, protein digestion, and mimic estrogen. In addition, a frightening amount of soy is genetically engineered and is typically sprayed with more chemicals than most other crops. While organic soy eliminates the problems associated with genetic engineering and toxic chemicals, Its extremely unlikely for KFC to be using organic ingredients.
Im still not done with these oils and I saved the worst for last. As if soybean oil and cottonseed oil arent bad enough in their own right, theyre made to be much worse through partial hydrogenation. Through this process, these oils are exposed to extreme temperatures, mixed with metal particles, and bombarded with hydrogen atoms. The result is a highly refined, deformed and unnatural molecule thats commonly referred to as trans-fat and is associated with
many serious diseases and health disorders including heart disease and cancer. Even the often misguided mainstream media suggests that you avoid trans-fat like the plague.
Monosodium Glutamate: If you dont recognize this ingredient, it may sound more familiar to you as MSG. This unnatural flavor enhancer is a neurotoxin that kills brain cells by overstimulating them. Its commonly regarded as one of the most dangerous food additives in existence and is associated with Alzheimers disease, Parkinsons disease, and learning disabilities. Even the FDA acknowledges a long list of symptoms that it can cause shortly after consuming it.
Chicken Fat and Beef Fat: Coming from a healthy and naturally raised animal, these fats are highly nutritious. Despite the misconception that
saturated fat causes heart disease, they make up a significant portion of cell membranes and are therefore vital to proper cell function. They also support the immune system and the detoxification system. However, because chemical toxins are often diverted from vital organs and stored in body fat, especially in factory farmed animals, the chicken and beef fat used by KFC is likely to be highly toxic.
Autolyzed Yeast: Yeast is a fungus that is naturally found in the intestines, and when in balance with other intestinal flora, its beneficial to our health. However, with the amount of sugar and processed food that most people consume, yeast can easily grow out of proportion, produce toxins that cause a wide variety of symptoms, and damage the intestinal lining. In excess, the consumption of yeast can contribute to this problem as well. More importantly, autolyzed yeast contains MSG, and this should be of particular concern since MSG is already listed on its own as an ingredient of KFCs grilled chicken.
What About the Chicken Itself?
KFC has been under fire for quite some time because of the factory farming used to produce their chicken. Undercover investigators, including investigators from PETA, have reported horrendous conditions at these farms. According to their observations, the animals were packed in warehouses with very little room to move, were completely deprived of sunlight, and were so weak and deformed that they could barely function well enough to eat and drink. There were even cases of the farm employees torturing the animals for no other purpose than their own twisted enjoyment.
Without a doubt, factory farming is bad news. If the animal cruelty isnt enough to turn your stomach, then the
poor quality of the meat should be. These animals are fed the cheapest feed available which is likely to contain toxic grain that has failed inspection for human consumption and can also contain fillers such as sawdust, newspaper, and cardboard. Theyre also typically fed antibiotics on a regular basis to compensate for the unhealthy conditions theyre forced to live in and are given hormones to accelerate their growth. Whenever you eat food thats derived from an animal, youre also eating what the animal ate, and this includes the pesticides, antibiotics, hormones, sawdust, newspaper and cardboard that they were fed.
The Reality of Eating Out
If you want to enjoy excellent health, you have to accept the fact that nearly all restaurant food is unhealthy. Unless you know for sure that the restaurant serves organic food and gets it from reputable sources, youre likely to get a plate full of food that is low in nutrients and high in toxins.
While theres obviously a big difference between fried chicken wings and grilled chicken served with vegetables, its important to realize that even whole foods can pose a risk to your health if theyre not from a quality source. In general, local restaurants with a strong reputation are more likely to serve higher quality food. While it may not be organic, it will certainly be better than anything youd typically find in a chain or fast food restaurant.
Dont Drive Yourself Crazy
The main point of this article is to help you recognize the deception of corporate marketing and realize that restaurant food is rarely healthy. Based on this, you should be preparing the majority of your meals yourself with high quality
organic foods and should avoid restaurant food as much as possible. However, you dont have to be obsessive about it. Most of us enjoy eating out, especially to socialize with friends, and its healthy to do so on occasion. Just make sure you stick to the
80/20 rule and do it in moderation.
KFC or Kentucky Fried Chicken?
By
yogi on December 20, 2007
http://www.klyoga.com/2007/12/20/kfc-or-kentucky-fried-chicken
I received a rather disturbing email from a friend yesterday on everybodys favorite ayam goreng KFC.
Yes, Im a yoga fan but I DO indulge in good food sometimes.
KFC has been a part of our American traditions for many years. Many people, day in and day out, eat at KFC religiously. Do they really know what they are eating? During a recent study of KFC done at the University of New Hampshire , they found some very upsetting facts. First of all, has anybody noticed that just recently, the company has changed their name?
Kentucky Fried Chicken has become KFC.
Does anybody know why?
We thought the real reason was because of the FRIED food issue.
ITS NOT!
The reason why they call it KFC is because they can not use the word chicken anymore. Why? KFC does not use real chickens. They actually use genetically manipulated organ isms. These so called chickens are kept alive by tubes inserted into their bodies to pump blood and nutrients throughout their structure. They have no beaks, no feathers, and no feet. Their bone structure is dramatically shrunk to get more meat out of them.
This is great for KFC.
They do not have to pay so much for their production costs. There is no more plucking of the feathers or the removal of the beaks and feet. The government has tol d them to change all of their menus so they do not say chicken anywhere. If you look closely you will notice this. Listen to their commercials, I guarantee you will not see or hear the word chicken. I find this matter to be very disturbing.
I hope people will start to realize this and let other people know. Please forward this message to as many people as you can. Together we make KFC start using real chicken again.
