Do you love KFC chicken?
I was just sitting in my office and a friend of mine ordered a bucket full of KFC chicken.
I was just wondering how KFC made such a lip smacking chicken. I just logged into their website to see what exactly they use to make these tasty chickens. And I got this ingredient for the Popcorn Chicken.

*Will contain one of the Ingredient statementsHmmmm… I googled few items to know the characteristics of each ingredient.. I was totally drowned after I saw some 10 names in the list, none of them were healthy.
But I have seen in their advertisements that they use herbs for their tasty ingredient. But in reality this looks like a chemical industry rather than a restaurant.
KFC has been a part of the American traditions for many years. When I had a chance to be in America I have seen people flocking into KFC, Many people, day in and day out, eat at KFC. 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? 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 organisms. 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.
These are called "Mutant Chickens"
This is great for KFC because 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 told 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, you will not see or hear the word chicken mostly. May not apply in India when we have so much legal loop holes and basically we don't know the reality itself.
I find this matter to be very disturbing. I hope people will start to realize this and let other people know.
The chickens you eat on our Indian road sides which are unhygienic are less harmful than KFC chicken.
I have the choice to tell the truth, but let the consumers decide to eat or not…
