KFC Twister causes brain damage?

[AdminAssistant]

Well, I don't eat KFC because it tastes nasty. That's not what fried chicken is supposed to taste like folks. *bleh*

No, but it IS what KFC is supposed to taste like. 10 out of the 11 secret spices are "lard." The last one is salt.

MMmmm, delicious cruelty. The 12th secret spice.

LMAO... I know I shouldn't, but damn, that was funny. XD

I never eat KFC cuz it's disgusting. Besides, the chippy near where I live does the most amazing Southern fried chicken. It takes a little longer to cook but is so worth it.

I was explaining to a friend from Philadelphia the magic that is Southern cuisine, and that my Mom made amazing fried chicken. He said, "What, like KFC?" After the beating, I explained to him that true Southern Fried Chicken is never, ever, EVER deep fried. It's pan fried, in a cast iron skillet, preferably in shortening. Mom's is unique, because she removes the skin and just coats the meat in flour...no soak in buttermilk or fancy batters. And it is crisp and juicy without being too greasy.

Dammit now I'm hungry!

I hate anything cooked in shortening. It tastes like naval sweat and plastic.
I love KFC, eventhough I also like home made pan fried chicken. How my love muffin also hates the skin is alien to me. It's the best part.

I love it when these "food" cruelity conversations get started. How many of you have ever had a hand in raising anything that you eat??? Toting it home from the store doesn't count. KFC receives it's chicken just like everyone that cooks chicken, they don't kill it, just as McDonald's doesn't kill the cattle they serve. If you don't like how a chicken is killed then I suggest you find a source of live chickens and dispatch them as you see best, providing you have the courage to do so.
From a business perspective it's not in the farmers, processor nor stores best interest to damage their product in any way. Does bad things happen yes but it's the exception not the rule. Also remember that those videos that PETA is so proud of are heavily edited, and Lord knows PETA's hands are blood free.

Implying that those of us that don't like animal cruely are cowards is VERY offensive.
Stop comparing us to PETA. They do not represent us anymore than the chinese bastards that skin and cook cats alive represents your kind.

Yeah, or he could have meant that actually slaughtering an animal is difficult for most people to bear, nowadays, so unless you're out there slaughtering your own animals, you're leaving it to others who will do it as they see fit, and it may not jibe with your sensibilities.

O_o Never expected a racist comment from you, Flyn.

It's a hatred of a nationalistic "culture", not racism. I hate the disgustingly common practice in China of skinning and boiling alive of mammals. I would stare down anyone that find that an acceptable means of food preparation.

Rereading my post, I admit that it comes off racist. That was definitely not my intent. All populous ethnicities can, and do, run the gamut from saintly to demonic. This is just an example of the latter.

Yup, raised sheep for own consumption and I've worked in an abattoir and egg farm.

[Lace Neil Singer]

When I went to the college I did my Animal Care NVQ in, I went to the sheep farm next door several times to work with the lambs. I also helped care for chickens, even raising chicks in an incubator. Yup, still eat lamb and chicken.

As far as killing, I've drowned birds that my late cat half killed a few times and can honestly say it didn't affect me at all. I'm pretty sure I could kill a chicken. My hatred of KFC has nothing to do with cruelty, either real or imagined and everything to do with it just tasting nasty and being basically pure fat and salt.

That's not something to brag about. We should always feel something when killing, no matter how necessary. As a child my family had chickens just for eggs. I still felt a loss when taking thier unborn children. Animal and all other forms of cruelty come from a lack of respect for life.

Is boiling them alive really that common? It seems like that would be a horribly inefficient manner of cooking a mammal, due to their usual size. Any references for just how often this is?

That's not something to brag about.

Sure it is. Lace could likely survive in an agrarian society. Someone who's having trouble taking eggs from chickens is probably going to have a rough time if anything happened to isolate themselves from society.

Humans suck at living alone. Saying that my death might be a few days sooner than yours isn't a claim to embarassment. It's a claim to stay in touch with other people.

The fact that those people aren't run out of town tarred and feathered right before spending hard time in jail says that it isn't that uncommon. When given half a chance people will treat eachother horribly let alone creatures that can't fight back.

I kinda want to raise chickens for eggs....( I don't want rooster....I will have my omlete unfertilized :-) ) Only problem is, I don't eat chicken, and I've read that hens really only have a few good laying years in 'em.


I have seen a documentary about the boiling cats alive...I forget if they said it was a common practice or not....still....I burst into tears seeing it.
