“Pop sensation Pink has launched a global attack against KFC.”

Agreed! I may not be a Pink fan, but I do agree with her when it comes to the KFC issue.  Not only is the mass production of chickens cruel (you should see the process) but like many fast foods, I am sure you can find a healthier alternative.  Sure they may have some healthy options, but the bulk of the food sold is high in calories and relatively low in nutrition.  But don’t take my word, see for yourself KFC dietfacts. 

Let’s put together a meal deal and checkout the FAT:

3 Piece Chicken (1 breast, 1 wing, 1 thigh)
breast (Fat 19g)
wing (Fat 9g)
thigh (Fat 9g)

Potato Wedges (Fat 12g)

Diet Drink (Fat 0g)

Fat total = 19 + 9 + 9 +12 = 49g

In a 2000 Cal / day diet.  The recommended daily fat is less than 65g.  The typical meal above has already consumed about 75% of the daily fat allowance.  But seriously, how do you feel after you have eaten junk food compared to having eaten a healthy meal?
