We don’t eat KFC any more because we always end up ill after. And that is with abnormally large chicken breasts loaded with antibiotics and hormones.

Me either but because it just doesn’t taste good anymore.

Anyone who delivers pizza unarmed is gambling with their life.

The last time I tried to eat their chicken I couldn’t finish my meal because it was horrible.

YUM has bought KFC, Pizza Hut and Taco Bell and ruined them. I don’t eat at any of these restaurants anymore. YUM buys a company with a good product and finds ways to cut prices (cut quality).

I am old enough to remember Pizza Hut as a fantastic place to go with a date for a great pizza that made their dough fresh every day. They were the elite pizza restaurant. YUM bought the company and turned it in to competition for the $5 pizza places like Mr. Cesar’s.

I am a capitalist and I believe in profit but I also believe that a quality product will always be able to turn a profit.

YUM will never get money from me

I found a piece of garbage from KFC once... short story, it had MSG labeled as a main ingredient. This was a wrapper that held the herbs and spices for the chicken fry.

A common misconception is that those huge double breasted chickens get that way by use of hormones. They don't. Actually use of hormones on poultry has been illegal for at least 50 years in the US. The chickens get huge because of crossbreeding and hybridizing.

I raise a few chickens for eggs mainly but looked into getting a few meat chickens. The typical meat chicken is a Jumbo Cornish X Rock and is usually ready to butcher at 6-8 weeks. If you try grow them much past that they put on weight so darn fast that either their legs will break or they'll literally drop dead of a heart attack. They are a hybrid selectively bred to put on weight in shortest amount of time. No hormones needed.

Antibiotics are another story.

We use natural apple cider vinegar(with the "mother") in their water which works for us.

Another thing the processors do is they will inject their processed chickens with water and other ingredients (broth?). If you buy raw chicken and the the label has "ingredients" stay clear, you're paying for an adulterated product.

Here's a link about hormones in poultry:
