KFC Email

Anyone else get this?:

"
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 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. 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, 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 [can] make KFC start using real chicken again. "

I think that came from POPEYES,,,,,,,,,,,,,uppy:

ucking:

No I like it the way it is!!

i went down to Buckeye-Farms some years back...and they have a HUGE ass farm down there (this is in ohio by the way)...and I was doing some electrical work and Im pretty sure I went into a room that I wasnt suppose to go into. I entered a room where there was rows and rows of chickens...with NO HEADS and having a tube feed into them.

I later found out that a chicken can live with its head cut off for 2 years or even longer if you feed it, which explains the tube. These chickens went to both KFC ANDDD Boston Market.

People are complaining about broken beaks and legs and stuff....but these chickens just were striaght up mutants lol. I never ate at KFC before but I did enjoy an occasional trip to Boston Market....but after seeing that...I was disgusted...never ate there anymore

Claim: KFC restaurants no longer use the word 'chicken' to describe their product because they serve meat from genetically engineered animals that the government will no longer permit to be referred to as 'chickens.'
Status: False.

Origins: Every
fast food chain gets its own urban legend these days, from claims of worms in McDonald's hamburgers to roaches in Taco Bell tacos to snakes in Burger King's ball pits, we're determined to demonize corporate purveyors of cheap, industrial food products. It appears to be KFC's turn in the spotlight again (their original legend about the fried rat having become a bit long in the tooth), and they have become the proud owners of a legend intended to reflect another modern fear: genetically engineered food.

Versions of this legend have been circulating for several years now, as indicated by the e-mail's reference to Kentucky Fried Chicken's "recent" name change, an event that occurred 1991. Earlier versions of the tale featured six-legged chickens ("How do they taste?" "Dunno; no one's ever been able to catch one") or birds so plumped by chemicals that their gigantic breasts made it impossible for them to keep their balance well enough to walk.

It's easy to see why this legend has suddenly made such a strong resurgence. Our continual progress in understanding and manipulating the genetic codes of plants and animals has fueled debate over the environmental and health concerns raised by the creation and growth of transgenic food crops (which is challenged by the National Academy of Sciences in a 14 September 2001 article) and the marketing of food products derived from animals that have been given artificial hormones. Additionally, to those who already feel that our killing and eating other animals is morally wrong, this legend highlights the complete disregard most humans hold for the rights of animals and the increasingly inhumane conditions under which food animals are raised. "The government that's supposed to be looking out for our health and safety doesn't really care about us" theme also makes an appearance here: a private company has supposedly created a genetically altered form of an animal that is raised and eaten by the hundreds of millions every year, and all the government has done about the situation is to require them to stop using the word 'chicken' to describe this product?

Nothing like the Frankensteinian laboratory scenario described here is taking place, however. Raising chickens that have been genetically modified so that they are born without beaks, feathers, or feet, or with additional legs is still beyond the reach of modern science for the time being (although selective breeding has been used to enhance some features, such as breast size), nor did the University of New Hampshire perform a "study of KFC." As well, the claims about Kentucky Fried Chicken's name change are easily belied:


Links on KFC's web site (such as the About KFC page clearly describe its product as "chicken" numerous times, something it could hardly get away with if the government were prohibiting the company from using that word. And the KFC web site can also be reached through the domain name kentuckyfriedchicken.com.

KFC no more raises its own chickens than McDonald's maintains vast herds of beef cattle to turn into hamburgers or the International House of Pancakes farms huge tracts of wheat to use in making pancakes. These companies are in the restaurant business, not the agricultural or farming business, and they buy their food products from the same suppliers as everyone else. None of these chains could possibly operate the enormous facilities that would be required to supply themselves with all the raw food products they needed. KFC sells the equivalent of 736 million chickens annually. They'd have to own some monstrously huge "chicken farms" in order to supply themselves with well over half a billion chickens every year. (As well, KFC is but one component of Tricon, a corporation that also includes the Taco Bell and Pizza Hut chains of restaurants. All of these outlets serve chicken and obtain their supplies through the same sources, which would require Tricon to operate an even more massively huge series of "mutant chicken" farms to keep its restaurants fully supplied.)
Kentucky Fried Chicken decided to change its name to KFC in 1991 for several reasons, none of which had anything to do with governmental regulations about mutant animals:


A move to de-emphasize "chicken" because KFC planned to offer a varied menu that included other types of food. (The Boston Chicken corporation took the same approach for the same reason, changing their name of its retail food outlets to Boston Market.)

A desire to eliminate the word "fried," which has negative connotations to the increasingly health-conscious consumer market.

A recent trend towards the abbreviation of long commercial titles, as demonstrated by other companies' employing shortened forms of their names, such as The International House of Pancakes (IHOP) and Howard Johnson's (HoJo).
How concerned we should be about genetically engineered food products is one thing, but no amount of concern or protest is going to "make KFC start using real chicken again" — "real chicken" is what they've been using all along.

its not bogus...

i know what I saw

Ur full of shit.

And if you really think you saw that then I would advise to seek psychological help.

It would be more expensive to hook individual tubes up to chickens then to just let them roam free.

a trivia question, does anybody know what state kfc started in?

I would guess Kentucky.

TOTAL BS.

Eastern Oklahoma is FULL of chicken houses that sell striaght to the KFC chain. Its True that these chickens are raised faster than normal. One reason is they are under lights 24 hours a day and they do nothing but eat ans shit. Takes about 6 weeks to reach proper weight. They are raised here be the MILLIONS !

"I later found out that a chicken can live with its head cut off for 2 years or even longer if you feed it, which explains the tube."


I don't get it, I've killed ckickens before and after you cut their heads off, they run around for awhile and fall down. Hang em' upside down and drain em'. How do you keep feeding a chicken without a head...you say through a tube, how do you stop the blood loss??:coke: :ughhh:
