Yesterday vegetarian advocacy group Physicians Committee for Responsible Medicine, or PCRM, announced its plans to sue KFC, alleging the chain failed to warn customers that its grilled chicken contains a carcinogen.The cancer-causing compound in question? PhIP, an amino that can be found in grilled meat.

As if you needed an excuse to enjoy deep-fried thighs and drumsticks, yesterday was National Fried Chicken Day! To honor America's favorite poultry preparation — which is served at breakfast with waffles, at picnics with coleslaw, or just straight out of a paper bucket — I thought I'd test your familiarity with America's most famed fried chicken outfit, Kentucky Fried Chicken. What do you know about KFC — besides the fact that it's finger-lickin' good?

As posting calorie counts becomes mandatory in more and more places, many fast food restaurants are trying to lure health-conscious customers back in an effort to boost slumping sales. Following its competitors that have been offering grilled fare for years, Kentucky Fried Chicken is now serving up buckets of grilled chicken, which is much healthier than its fried counterpart. The grilled chicken will cost the same as KFC's Original Recipe, but the caloric price is considerably lower.

It's hard to imagine that there was a time when "feeling good about a meal" and "Kentucky Fried Chicken" could be uttered in the same breath. I mean, what with the news about how bad fast food is for your health, how those poor chickens are treated, and the bad rap "fried" anything gets, this commercial seems to have been made many, many moons ago.

Anything sex can sell, cute kids can sell better. This empty tub of crumbs from KFC is worth $12.50 on eBay, only cuz the "cutest kid in Texas" (if his parents don't say so themselves) is posing with it. The 'rents were clearly onto something because seven people bid on this good-for-nothing grease bucket.
