KFC is in the news again, this time (and most of the time), the target of attack by People for the Ethical Treatment of Animals (PETA). The animal rights activist organization has teamed up with spokesperson Pamela Anderson in an online campaign against the fast food chicken restaurant in Asia. The campaign urges Asian diners to boycott the American chain. PETA has also sent a video of Pam, along with a letter written by her, to KFC's operational HQ in Hong Kong.

Are the chickens KFC uses raised differently than your basic factory poulty farm in China? I undersand why they go after companies like this since fast food = bad, so it's easy to beat up on them. But they give the impression that these companies buy meat from special torture farms as opposed to the nice friendly farms that supply the stores where every one buys their groceries.

Why they want to export such horrible culture to Asian countries where people are slim and healthy? Americans better learn from the Asians and adapt to it and maintain a healthy lifestyle.

Nearly everything that crawls, walks, swims, or otherwise twitches is fair game in Chinese cuisine. On the plus side virtually every piece of the particular animal in question is consumed in one way or another so there isn't any waste.
