Are KFC's Chickens REAL?

I don't believe you are correct on one thing. KFC does not own Taco Bell or pizza hut last time i checked. All three companies are actually owned by pepsi. I used to work for taco bell(that doesn't mean i am correct though. things change)

Well at least we know that McDonalds uses real chicken.  After all, that lady did find a fried head in her six piece.

I also heard that they've got 3 legs =o
I don't find that KFC chicken has more meat... the drumsticks are almost the size of regular chicken wings.

In Canada, I prefer to eat Churches chicken... They've got more meat, and a better recipe.

i'm bored. so here's a topic that kinda makes me wonder...

"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.

Right. Well, KFC reports that it serves up 736 million chickens annually worldwide -- and it specifically states that these are chickens, not chickoids. In fact, KFC proudly states that in 1998 it served 10 pieces of chicken for every man, woman and child in the United States.

Want to know how far all those chickens would stretch if laid end-to-end? We don't either but if you really have time on your hands, you'll find the answer at the KFC Web site.

The Name Change
Companies tend to change their names every 20 or 30 years to accommodate changes in their product line-up, mergers and acquisitions, public perceptions and so forth. Chesapeake and Potomac Telephone (good old C&P) became BellAtlantic. MasterCharge became MasterCard. Federal Express is now FedEx.

And Kentucky Fried Chicken? Why, it became KFC Corp. which is now part of Tricon Global Restaurants Inc., the "world's largest restaurant system with nearly 30,000 KFC, Taco Bell and Pizza Hut restaurants in more than 100 countries and territories," according to the company's p.r. mavens.

KFC also owns Taco Bell and Pizza Hut and in some cases all three culinary delights are housed under a single roof. Hey, wonder what they're making those tacos out of.

huh? when'd I say that KFC owned Taco Bell and pizza hut?

quote from arcab4:

"KFC also owns Taco Bell and Pizza Hut and in some cases all three culinary delights are housed under a single roof."

sorry if i confused someone. i didn't mean to. I was just trying to correct the statement. I actually better go confirm my statement.(might be a good idea)

well---i guess things have changed.
they used to be owned by pepsico. KFC, Pizza Hut and taco bell are owned by a company called Tricon. but i am still not sure if tricon is not a part of Pepsico. oh well at least I learned something,  and sorry about the incorrect information on my part. I will try to do my research ahead of time next time.

[SegaDojo]

oh.. woops... sorry PJ.. for some reason I linked your "pic" for arcab's... =P

Doesn't the owner of KFC also own Burger King?  i think that's what I heard from my marketing teacher back in highschool, but I could have gotten it mixed up. =o

Being from Kentucky there are KFC's everywhere note the name "Kentucky Fried Chicken". And my family no longer eats there because they don't cook there chicken they microwave it because my mom got a piece one time and it wasn't cooked because it was all pink inside and bloody, good thing she didn't eat it so she took it back and got her money refunded. So now we avoid eating there. Besides with those aligations who would want to?
