There is a link to a video that I haven't watched as I don't want to see what I already know  :(

The scary thing is, they are opening 300 new branches in the UK. I love KFC but won't eat it.

I can honestly say that I have never eaten, nor wanted to eat, anything from KFC or any of the me-toos in my life.

Yes they are  :evillaugh: - I think it is a southern thing. They are crumbly biscuits - a bit like Scottish shortbread but savoury and made with buttermilk.

I totally agree that the way they treat the chickens is totally disgraceful but it is sadly no different to the majority of supermarket chicken. (I don't eat any) Unless free range on a good farm (some say free range when this is rather deviated from the truth!) chickens have a horrific life. KFC are horrid but no different to most other establishments in the chicken trade.

I'm with you, Debsymiller.  I only eat chicken if I can be certain of its provenance - which means I rarely eat chicken outside my own home.  The same applies to pork, turkey and duck.  I don't eat farmed salmon either.

I am not going to watch the video, as watching a program on TV, 5 years ago about the way the chickens were kept, made me become vegetarian.
