Another one just opened a block up from me this week and they are already pulling in customers with bunch of grand opening discounts. Out of all the the big fast food chains they are by far the worst. I'm not counting Taco Bell since they are owned by the same parent company as KFC. I could care less about how they raise their chickens, I'm sure most places raise their cattle/chicken in similar ways with little bit of space. As if the oil they used for cooking wasn't bad enough the main issue I have with them is their usage of MSG and long list of preservatives. Monosodium Glutamate is a type of flavor giver that's banned in Europe and has been known to cause headaches. The flavor is also addicting and gets people wanting more of it. KFC puts this stuff in everything from green beans to all their sauces and MSG is 1 of the key ingredients in their secret recipe. http://www.kfc.com/nutrition/pdf/kfc_ingredients.pdf just look at the Pot pie and mac and cheese ingredients list. How can the mac and cheese which is targeted towards children contain that many ingredients in such a basic food. Even if the MSG doesn't have long term health affects the trans fats and sodium content will cut years off your life. Also they have a new popcorn nuggets commercial running targeting younger kids to compete with mcds/bk nuggets. Here's the ingredients list of the kfc nuggets compared to MCDS. Mcdonalds isn't much better but at least their entire menu doesn't consist of fried foods. Even if you are forced to eat from a fast food chain no person should be eating from KFC. I would not feed their chicken to my dog who I recently had to get put down. How people keep eating at KFC and how they have continued to be in business all these years after the health craze is beyond me, people don't even drink regular beer anymore saying they are watching calories yet places like KFC that will probably cut your life short if consumed even once a week continue to sell and make millions. I haven't eaten at KFC in 7+ years and neither should anyone else. If you want fried chicken either fry it yourself or go to a local fried chicken place that you know is clean. Popcorn Nuggets
