Fried

We were forced to stop at Starbucks to bring the office coffee. While there, the girl and boy behind the counter were discussing KFC vs. Kentucky Fried Chicken. The boy claimed the name was changed because of the abuse that KFC wrought on poor innocent chickens. [We explained "Fried" is percieved as a negative in light of recent health crazes; yet Americans are still fat].

The incident brought back memories of our discussion of vegetarianism and Some People's complaints with the treatment of animals. We think the logic borders on Crazy Talk. Not that we want to see baby kittens mauled by a tractor or anything, but we don't particularly like chickens, and frankly don't care if they are ground up and turned into sausages and patties and nuggets.

With all this nonsense, we'd kind of like to think that KFC protestors would take things to the next level, ambushing KFC delivery trucks while dressed in chicken suits, or storming their headquarters with an army of chicken clad members. Until then though, we're happy not eating their on the basis that we think its just not very good.
