What is this world coming to ????? Instead of taking the great food away we have always loved, why not preach control over our own food choices. Occassional indulgences are part of the joys of eating. It will not taste as good, I am sure. we as a society are becoming overly sensitive to everything - Blaming products for our own weaknesses. The biggest offender in the world is alcohol abuse. How come no one goes after the liquor companies like they do the tobacco and fast food companies? I am sure alcohol has taken more lives than all combined. To include murder, car accidents and of course, health issues. Let's concentrate on that instead of KFC and McDonalds.

I CAN SEE IT NOW,,, HOW MANY TIMES HAVE THEY SAID CERTAIN FOODS ARE BAD FOR YOU AND REPLACED THEM, AND THE ITEM THEY REPLACE THEM WITH IS LATER FOUND TO ACTUALLY BE WORSE THAN THE ORIGINAL.

This is just not right! KFC original recipe is the ONLY chicken I can tolerate, calories and fat be d**ned. I can eat one piece a month and still feel good about myself. Prohibition didn't work, more children are smoking today than 40 years ago and if you want to be larger than a Size 0, I say more power to ya! If you want to diet and get into good health, don't force it on others.

Lack of personal freedom starts with small, innocuous things like doing things the politically correct way...today it's chicken, tomorrow it's your mind they try to change.

I think we can all just forget the world as we knew it when food didnt kill people everyday. I think its all out of greed. Using this and that to preserve food. The safest way to eat as I see it is to grow your own food and really, most of us dont have time to do it.

I really hate it when America or Big Business over correct. A big issue hits the mass media, and the first thing stupid people do is over correct. KFC's job on this planet it to make that great original chicken. It is not their job to take care of my health. I love the chicken and look forward to it. DON"T change the chicken. It also made you who you are. Stupid, Stupid, Stupid. Also, you won't sell more chicken because of this move. We want the real stuff, that's why we buy it. Later..... UGH, Just stupid.

I AGREE WHY NOT JUST LEAVE THE CHICKEN TASTE THE WAY IT IS ITS YOUR CHOICE BUY IT OR DON'T BUT PLEASE DON'T CHANGE THE TASTE OF THE CHICKEN THATS WHY OUR FAMILY GOES THERE CAUSE WE LIKE THE TASTE MY GRANDMOTHER DID TOO SHE LIVED TO BE 90 YEARS OLD AND SHE LIKED IT AND BROUGHT ALOT OF IT JUST LIKE WE HAD MANY KFC DINNERS TOGETHER OVER THE YEARS SO WHEN YOU START MAKING IT TASTE DIFFERENT THEN YOU WILL LOSE YOUR CUSTOMERS CAUSE THEY WILL GO SOMEWHERE ELSE THANK YOU HAVE A NICE DAY AND STOP AND THINK BEFORE YOU ACT LEAVE THE TASTE JUST THE WAY IT IS WE LOVE THE TASTE THANKS AGAIN

I hate it when America or Big business over correct. The mass media picks up on something and the first thing stupid people do is over correct. I love KFC's original chicken. DON"T change the chicken. KFC's job on this planet is to make that great chicken. KFC is not responsible for my health. They will not sell more chicken because of this move. They are just stupid. Stupid, Stupid, Stupid. UGH.

This is great. You dorks don't realize that the food is going to be exactly the same, just less bad for you (notice I didn't say "better for you"). I like the idea of companies taking the initiative and making changes in response to customers' concerns. Of course we can make our own food choices. That's not what this is about. I'll be going to KFC and Taco Bell either way. As long as the quality of the food is the same, I don't have a problem with it being less likely to make me collapse and die before my time.

Now, about these laws being passed banning hydrogenated cooking oil: that is just plain rediculous. If a company wants to do something for its customers, I thinks it's fantastic. But this is no place for the government to be sticking it's nose. And they certainly shouldn't be awarding money to people who don't know how to feed their porky little children.

I just ate KFC original yesterday and it tasted just as good as ever!

Why can't people take control and responsibility for their own actions? North Americans are fatter and have more wieght related health issues as a population than ever before in the history of the United States. What has changed? How about the fact that people don't control their desires, splurges, and laziness? Kids don't go outside to play and adults find it easier and faster to buy prepared meals than make a healthy meal. Everywhere you turn today, diet designers are getting more and more attention, and rich off of the latest and greatest diet, but if you look at what they are actually doing, is telling people to eat normal well balanced meals, kinda like what our parents, and grandparents used to make, back before the money, and accesability, of fast foods were available to us as a whole. We also didn't live in the house watching television, and playing games, we got outside, parents and children alike, and worked, or played, and got exercise. Don't blame the producer of a product for your own unhealthy decisions, and don't expect them to make you do what is right. If I do that, I blame pencil and pen makers for the bad grades I got as a child in school, the auto industry for the lack of exercise I get as a driving adult, and guns for the deaths in society. Get real, these products didn't and don't cause our problems, our own decision of how we use them and when do.

Please stay out of my food!! I don't have a weight problem or a "TRANS FAT " problem & would like my KFC just like its always been,FATTENING, GREASEY, & SOMETHING THAT DRIVES THE HEALTH NAZI'S NUTS!!! When is everyone going to wise up? We are all smart enough to figure out our lives all on our own & if YOU aren't MOVE BACK HOME TO MOM & DAD & TELL THEM YOU STILL NEED THEM!!! Not only will they be happy your back in the boosom of your family but they already knew you weren't smart enough to be on your own, yet.

It doesn't matter. They still raise their chickens in cramped, filthy conditions and slaughter them unhygienically with callous cruelly. To top it off, they are unapologetic and have no intention of changing. If I must have fast food fried chicken, I go to Churches. At least they try to act like they care about their poultry.

I second that Bart. People are too quick to blame the fast food industry for their own health issues. These are the people who choose to eat that crap every day and wonder why they are as big as houses and their health is at risk. Moderation is key.

I do not wish to be dirspectful, I love KFC and the Menu. Here in Florida's WestCoast (34653) The KFC Restaurants are filthy, as well as some employees.

If they ban trans-fat, I can only hope that KFC and Krispy Cream return to cooking in lard.

Everything in moderation, one never considered fried foods as health food ! And it is retarded to do so.

I think it is nuts...exactly too much over correction. When they made a big deal about diet foods, less fat and sugar America got fatter! They removed the good ol' school cafeteria in most schools years ago and now kids eat less healthy and are fatter than ever. Now they are shoving no fun health food at kids. Moderation in all things!!! I like to eat KFC about once a year!!

I think that food companies who come out with their products should not have to change their products because obese people choose to come their and get their food and then become so overweight that they can not do anything. It is not the companies fault that these people choose to live there lives the way that they do. They choose to be obese and do not take care of themeselves. Really, how many people do sit down and eat a homecooked meal? Rarely! More people today shove fast food in their mouths because they do not want to cook and they then to top it off never exercise! These people bring it on themeselves!

I really wish ignorant people would look into things before they open their mouths/ jump on their keyboards. No one has asked KFC to lower the fat content of their food. The problem is the type of fats they have been using-- Trans fats. Trans fats have been shown to be directly linked to cardio-vascular problems, because of the trans configuration around their bonds (biochemistry, folks). So, why do many companies use trans fats? Not because they taste better, but because they have a longer shelf life. Unfortunately, this seems to mean that our bodies also have an issue with breaking the trans fats down. So, they clog up the works, and people get sick and die. KFC's food will taste just as good or better without trans fats, because it will still be loaded with fat. It's just that they will be using safer fats. And, while these fats maybe safer, moderation should still be used when ingesting them. Because, while our bodies need fat to function properly, even too much safer fats will cause problems.

Wow...I'm reading these comments and it's a...trans fat backlash...let get the trans fat back in our food???...are you all crazy...this stuff is as bad as cyanide. Would you also advocate not looking both ways when crossing the highway?


There's still a significant problem with KFC and most fast foods, as well as, restaurant foods. It's the use of MSG Monosodium Glutamate. This chemical causes migraines and obesity and
KFC refuses to eliminate it. I know because I spoke with them. They say that it might change the flavor and they worry about losing business. Restaurants use this substance in the form of soup base or soup stock, when making soups, sauces and marinades. It's also in our salad dressings.
I hope the legislators focus on this poison next.

I have had both KFC & Taco Bell since the change - not that I ate it a lot, but it was there when I craved something yummy!!...(and I was lucky!!! They are both at the same drive through!!) Now.. I will not order it anymore. KFC is kinda slimy - not even the "extra crispy" is crispy anymore (the most tasty part!!!). And now all I can taste is slimy beans...no crispy taco taste.. sigh.. I HATE THAT THE GOVERNMENT AND MEDIA FORCED IT ALL TO CHANGE!!!.. Shouldn't we be in charge of what we eat??? Even Micky D's (McDonld's) french fries are RUINED!!!.. ok.. so I will live to 100 without a heart attack, but I will not have had anything good to eat for those next 40 years!!!!!
