KFC announced that they will be testing new menu items featuring plant-based chicken. The company is teaming up with Beyond Meat, which also has partnered with Dunkin’ and Subway to bring meat-free options to their menus.

Starting on Aug. 27, customers in Atlanta will be able to try the new Beyond Fried Chicken. While the test is being run at only one location in Cobb Parkway, customers will have the option of trying the new item as either nuggets or wings, which can be tossed in Nashville Hot, Buffalo or Honey BBQ sauce.

Then it’s not fried chicken

I still find it hilarious that many of the same people that don’t want genetically modified (selective breeding) food, are perfectly fine with processed food created in a lab.

Yeah. I tried raising meat free chickens, but none of the seeds I planted ever sprouted.

“That’s not chicken, but it tastes strangely familiar.”

Who knows what kind of garbage they put in there, even if it tastes like the real thing.

How many carbs does it have? Diabetics might need to know.

“Parts is parts.”

They’ll have to call it KFS...Kentucky Fried Something.

[cuban leaf]

Well, if it ain’t meat, all that’s left is bone, cartilage, skin and feathers. And feet.

That doesn’t sound very appetizing.

Man, what won't science give us next?

Meatless meat. If we were taking about sex we would call it a fantasy.

[Billthedrill]

I vow revenge.

They serve something in the college cafeteria down the road in their vegetarian section that they call chick’n. I assume it’s tofu, but I’ve no idea.

LOL! Weird huh? Sort of like Kroger and ‘just eggs’. I believe I read the “just” part is for justice. I guess for the chicken moms who lose their children? Probably hard to make those sunny side up too. Then again, less actual meat means less glow-bull warming. Or something. No to faux chicken and faux flame broiled NOT burger king.

I found a local butcher where I buy all my meat. They get it from local farms, and it’s grass-finished.

I will never buy meat from the supermarket again.

When I was a kid, which was many, many moons ago, my dad pulled a piece of KFC out of a bucket he’d brought home. He looked at it, couldn’t identify the part of the chicken it had come from, then declared that KFC must stand for Kentucky Fried Cat.

When I want vegetable, I eat vegetables. I have n desire to eat processed plant glop tarted-up to look like meat.
