The ever-annoying and condescending so-called "Center for Science in the Public Interest" has decided that people somehow think that greasy, fried chicken from KFC is health food. This has led CSPI and a retired physician from Maryland to sue KFC seeking an order that either requires KFC to use different oil or put labels up to warn customers of trans-fat contents.
The last time I checked, most, if not all, people knew that fried food is not so good for you. And I don't ever recall the Colonel force-feeding his chicken to hapless passers-by. I have to think that the courts of this country have better than to tell KFC how to cook its fried chicken, or to tell people how to eat. Not that I'm sticking up for KFC. I've been there only once or twice in the last decade, and found it frankly a bit disappointing and not as good as I remember it. And frankly, I'm not anywhere near as fond of breaded, fried food as I used to be (for both health and taste reasons). But that doesn't mean that I like the idea of holier-than-thou types like the CSPI running around trying to get the courts to tell us how to eat, either.
