I received a rather disturbing email from a friend yesterday on everybody’s favorite ayam goreng KFC.
Yes, I’m a yoga fan but I DO indulge in “good†food sometimes.

Read the below article and decide for yourself OK?
*********START OF ARTICLE *********
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.
IT’S 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.

The evolution of the KFC logo
…. From KENTUCKY FRIED CHICKEN to KFC
Putting aside the photograph of the naked chickens which has nothing to do with KFC at all.
The real reason was in fact the ‘fried’ issue. Because of the sudden shift of a healthier lifestyle, Kentucky Fried Chicken has undergoed a branding effort to be known just as KFC.
Also, the poultry used by KFC varies country by country. I’m in Australia so they use local poultry here. For Malaysia, I’m certain it’s from Ayamas.
I would say the email is misleading by all means. It’s like that myth about someone finding a fried rat while eating at KFC!
This is an urban myth Snopes
Besides, even if it were using the chickens pictured here, they’re still chickens. They’re just featherless chickens.
Anyway, I don’t consider KFC ‘good’ food
but i still crave for it once in a long while…
They better change the name from KFC to KKC. Wakakaka
Thanks for pointing things out all, but my weekly quota for KFC is still not more than once a week.
But then again now they are serving breakfast, maybe it’s time to review the quota.
i love KFC. but i really eat it only once in a blue moon. like really really seldom. the spicy fried chickens make me drool!
regardless of whether they chickens are real or not, hehe, i think they do no effect on me. =)
why don’t you reference the so-called university of new hampshire study?
I have received this kind of mail even few years back about KFC. I actually only believe in 50%. Now a day, there are just too many mails around sharing some knowledge of certain things, but all these are not certified by nay authority.
