Yum Brands gets the (trans) fat out

Ever wonder what really, really, really fat people
eat??? Fat, and lots of it.

IT IS A WELL KNOWN FACT THAT TRANS FAT HAS KILLED OVER 100,000 PEOPLE EVERY YEAR.THIS IS WAY TOO MANY
PEOPLE. TRANS FATS HAVE A LOT WORSE HISTORY THEN ANY
SATURATED FATS.IF YOU ARE SMART YOU WILL FEEL VERY GOOD ABOUT THE CHANGE FROM TRANS FATS TO ANOTHER WAY
OF MAKING FAST FOOD. AND YES, WE ARE A FAT SOCIETY MOSTLY BECAUSE OF FAST FOODS THAT SOME OF US REFUSE TO STAY AWAY FROM. I DO NOT EAT AT FAST FOOD PLACES ANYMORE.NOT ONLY BECAUSE OF THE TRANS FAT SCARE BUT I BELIEVE IN EVERYTHING IN MODERATION.PLUS I FIND THE TIME TO MAKE MY OWN FOOD.I DO NOT NEED TO DIE FROM EATING TRANS FAT SATURATED FOODS.THIS IS ONLY MY OPINION. BETTY

I think that it is appalling that society has fattened up tremendosly and are now trying to blame and make fast food resturants responsible for "healthier" lifestyles. Parents are saying that their kids are fat because of the fst food industry and so do the adults. its called"GET YOUR FAT A**ES OFF THE COUCH OR FROM BEHIND THE COMPUTER AND OPEN THE DOOR AND GO EXERCISE! Whats next, blaming the bucsh beer company because my husband has a beer gut and make them change their formula so he wont get a gut.

I want trans fat if it tastes good. I want alcohol if it tastes good. I want your grand mother's socks, a kiss from my dog, and maybe even a little bacteria from a leper's lost limb if it tastes good. Did you know that there are enzymes from the human colon that are removed after a thorough cleansing and used in extremely expensive perfumes. Not only does it stimulate the sense of smell but you guessed it, it also stimulates sexual arousal when tasted! Do you think men want buy womens CLEAN underware? What would be the point? We want the woman of our dreams to live in those puppies awhile! Maybe jog a few extra miles and then ship them to us. Men are mutants, we want it all! And yes we are looking closely for a presidential candidate to mirror our collective needs. Mike

I think if people were a little more occupied with other things such as working outside, playing with their kids, or just getting off the couch all together, they would not have the time to complain about how fast food is making people fat OR how it doesn't taste as fattening as it should.

thank u. The reasons we are fat are as many as we are. But over indulging is a factor. As is under exercising. We need fats but small amounts and certain kinds. Olive and fish oils are high on the list. But why the big todo about replacing transfats, shortning? Because the quaulity is in the people who are doing the cooking,And serving and cleaning. Yes home cooked is a totally different flavor.And more healthy. But with most families, having both adults working outside the home, drive thur is to be expected. That's the bigest reason for fast food. Long shifts and busy days result in taking shortcuts, and now we begin to see the cost.

I feel like I need a shower after reading mikes garbage. Thank God he is not on my life boat! I think he got Ambergris from whales confused with his colonary delight. We all should be carefull what we eat. It is like everything else, a choice.

I seriously doubt that transfats were even around when Col. Sanders developed his famous chicken. I stopped eating at KFC when it was first made public that they were using transfats and that it would take them many months to change.

The problems with the fast food industry is they have to listen to fanatics that want to tell me what to eat. Every person that goes into a resturant went in to eat the food there known for. and if it's fatty food then thats why i went there. we need less government control. thank you

KFC (AKA: KENTUCKY FRIED CHICKEN; THEY WANTED TO HIDE THE "FRIED" PART A WHILE AGO, DOESN'T MENTIONED ONCE WHAT THEY'LL DO TO IMPROVE THE CHICKENS LIVING CONDITIONS BEFORE SLAUGHTER. AS CHICKS THEY HAVE THE TIPS OF THEIR BEAKS CUT OFF WITH HOT METAL RAZORS AND YES!!! THEY FEEL THIS. BUT THATS SO WHEN THEIR CRAMDED 6 - 8 INTO CAGES AND CAN'T MOVE (LITERALLY SO MUCH SO THEIR FEET ENVELOPE THE WIRES THEY MUST CONSTANTLY STAND ON) THEIR DON'T INFLICT TOO MUCH "DAMAGE" ON THE FLESH THAT COULD BRING IN THE almighty DOLLAR!!!! AFTER 2 YEARS OF A SHEAR LIVING HELL THEY ARE SLAUGHTER BY USING A MACHINE WHICH HANGS THEM UPSIDE AS A BLADE IS "SUPPOSE" TO CUT THEIR THROATS, MANY END UP IN THE BOILING VAT STILL ALIVE. CALL "KENTUCHY FRIED CHICKEN" AND TELL THEM YOU KNOW WHAT DIRTY SECRET TO THE "RECIPY" THEY'VE BEEN ADDING; AND THAT YOU WON'T SUPPORT AN ESTABLISHMENT THAT TREATS FEELING, LIVING, BREATHING BEINGS THIS WAY; DENYING THEIR NATURAL INSTICNTS. NO CHICK SURVIVES AFTER 2 YRS OLD AT "KENTUCKY FRIED CHICKEN".

Yes I will eat at Kentucky Fried Chicken (KFC) again.

Do any of you honestly think KFC gives a damn about your health, because gauranteed; you could have a heart attack on a street corner, and the only thing their going to care about is the almighty $.
I say leave the recipe the same, were all going to die in time anyway; altering a recipe is not going to save you or me. Leave all's well alone!

What do they mean "Original Recipe"? When Colonel Sanders retired years ago, he took the original recipe with him. The chicken flavor changed the day he sold the business and it has been nothing but greasy roadkill ever since. All foods are bad for you now days, so hitting a fast food place once in awhile isn`t going to kill you any faster than a real restaurant. Use common sense and you will live longer. "Moderation is a lifestyle, not just a word."

Why do American's and Big business over correcteverything. The mass media picks up on something and the first things people do is try to come up with another gimich to make us feel worse than we already do about how we conduct ourselves in the way we look, eat and feel.. The only chicken even close to tasting great is KFC's original recipe chicken....KFC's job is to produce great tasting chicken. KFC is not responsible for our habitual bad habit of over indulging. If there is a way to make the original recipe taste great and take out the Trans fats I am all for that.Tans fats have been shown to be directly linked to cardiac-vascular problems..but you know when you work 6 & 7 days a week like most American's do just to make a decent living you just don't have time to fix a great healthy meal every night. Hey, I have an idea...how about the government stop taxing the heck out of us so we can go to the gym, Mom or Pops can have a couple days off a week to stay home and make diet smart foods . Nah that will never happen. Eat , love and be happy this life is to short to stress over your weight every second of the day.

Trans fat comes from the type of oil they use to fry the chicken. I don't think the original recipe everyone here is crying for specifies what oil to use... I don't think the colonel even knew what trans fat was, or which oils to use to get it.

All they had to do was change the frying oil to a more healthy oil, that isn't filled with trans fat, with a main result that they will have to change the oil more often. The taste should be the same.

Or maybe even better, since you won't get chicken fried in old oil any more.... your fried chicken will STILL be packed full of fat, just not trans fat. =)

This is to #2. The biggest reason that no one goes after the liquor companies is because most all of the people in THE HOUSE AND SENATE like their drinks. They may not smoke, but they sure like to drink! Now, what was that question again? LOL.
YOU ARE RIGHT ABOUT THE OTHER THINGS YOU SAID. Pretty soon these people will tax our food so much that we won't be able to buy it.
