That was FAST and you got the CORRECT answer. In fact, you could also say that Henry Wallace was the vice-president who made KFC possible. Wallace genetically developed chickens idea for breeding in chicken factory conditions. It was Hy-Line Poultry Farms. And, along with the hybrid corn Wallace also developed, it made Wallace a wealthy man.

Possibly the most ECCENTRIC of our vice presidents. Although he ran as presidential candidate for the far left Progressive Party in 1948, after the outbreak of the Korean War he became very conservative and denounced communism. Oh, and if you eat some KFC, it was probably from a chicken also developed by Wallace.

I'll bet Tyson has it's own breed, even smaller, bonier and less tasty than the birds for KFC and Purdue, etc.

Wallace was a whacknut all the way.

wow, just wow.

I had no idea, and I follow this sort of thing pretty closely.

Also...I had no idea that he disavowed his communism.

All in all a truly great post. Thank you.

“Possibly the most ECCENTRIC of our vice presidents”

Wallace was so far to the left that even FDR dumped him.
