Sue Stupid

The ridiculousness of our society amuses me greatly. Apparently some 'noble' group has taken it upon themselves to sue the evil geniuses behind KFC, a parent company known as Yum Brand, Inc. No, there's no mysterious fried rats or chicken necks at teh core of this one. This lawsuit is all about KFC fried foods being...dun dun DUN...unhealthy. The oil used to fry the chicken and other foods there is high in artery clogging transfat, and apparently the meals offered are "startingly high" in it.

DUH.

Let's see, being that it's Kentucky FRIED chicken, my first clue that it wasn't healthy was in the name. But say Joe Simpleton can't read, and wanders in thinking he is getting a heart healthy buffet. The second clue would be that the bucket OOZES crap when handed to you. Oh, and let's not forget the obvious...it's FAST FOOD. If you haven't figured out that a quick meal for 5.99 may not be the healthiest choice on earth, you deserve to have your pulminary go on a perma-strike.
And the worse part is, the whole issue they are raising is because the menu at KFC doesn't really contain many alternatives. Well, screw that, who cares? They are a private business, and owe you nothing except fried deliciousness for your cash (usually served with a bad attitude with questionable cleanliness). "CSPI Executive Director Michael Jacobson said it was harder to avoid trans fat at KFC than at other fast-food restaurants."
Yet surprisingly, with their few locations, it's easier to avoid eating there than at other fast-food restaurants, jackass.
I love the fact that in the article he refers to diners there as "Unsuspecting consumers". Oh, go choke on a drumstick, we don't wander in there without knowing how bad that shit is for us. "KFC "does not properly warn, disclose or even tell consumers that they are eating food items prepared with the worst oil available," the group said in a legal complaint."
.....It's fast food.
...It's Kentucky Fried Chicken.
....It's bad for you.
There, we've been warned.
