Say It Ain't So
KFC and I have always had a love/hate relationship. Now, I thought things were going off the rails a bit when the Board members decided to build the giant replica of the Colonel in the desert, but this time they've really gone too far.
According to this article in the Globe and Mail, KFC has recently decided to introduce vegan menu options, including some sort of nasty faux chicken they call "Chick'n" or unchicken. Now, does anyone out there honestly believe that a person who would embrace a vegan lifestyle would actually be interested in going to KFC for "Chick'n"?
I protest this lame attempt to appease the masses. What about all the real KFC fans who devotedly eat the artery-clogging chicken and keep going back for more time and time again despite the repeated incidents of food poisoning from the rancid fat? What about the fans who love their deep fried chicken so much that they embark upon crazy endeavours to deep fry their own poultry? For them, this faux chicken is a slap in the face.
And who does Dish blame? She blames Pamela Anderson and her big...mouth. Pammy should be forced to publicly eat and enjoy the unchicken. If she can't do it with a smile on her botoxed lips, KFC should renege on its promise to deliver unchicken.
The Colonel must be spinning in his grave. Mark my words. This unchicken will go uneaten. No one ever likes the kid who conforms just to be popular. You have to be true to who you are. Fried chicken is never going to be vegan friendly. It's not even nutritious for the carnivores among us for heaven's sake! And that's the way Dish likes it.

I agree. Fast food joints that try and branch out...it's like a parallel universe.
What do you go to McDonalds for? NOT the salad or sandwiches. You go for the burgs (well, more importantly, the fries, oh boy, they so delish.)
I would like to seek out some vegans and see how they feel about this. Maybe they actually WANT to eat at KFC but could not until now!
I am VERY interested to know what the Dish thinks about Freegans....
You do realize that the McDonald's french fry used to be even more delicious until the vegans got involved and made McDonald's stop cooking the fries in animal fat. Yes, the fries are still good, but definitely not as good as they used to be.
i dont mean to sound rude or anything, but why do you suppose there are no big vegan chain restaurants? because it s a bad idea - that s why
