I have not eaten at a KFC for at least 10 years now. I was hearing about way too many cases of food poisoning from friends who either got it, or heard from a friend who got it. So I made the decision to abstain from KFC no matter how good the food was smelling. Nothing was more sickening than the family who claimed they found maggots in their bucket of chicken from KFC.


You know why? It is managements fault if they find that kind of garbage in food. This means that management is not putting in orders for delivery to the restaurant or they are going past the expiration date when they prepare to cook the chicken. Why is everything the main companies fault. Whatever happens to that chicken after it has been delivered to the restaurant is up to the management. What about the women who claimed she found a finger in her soup? That made national news and it was a hoax. She got slammed by the judge for that. I don't always believe what I hear. Half that stuff is a lie because people are desperate enough to try an get money. They sue the place of business and the place of business gives them money to keep their mouths shut.

Jo Jo has not said that much in a while.

KFC is junk food that one should avoid - that is obvious.

In general, avoid anything that has the word "Kentucky" in it - it wil probably turn you into a fat redneck Smile

A positive attitude may not solve all your problems, BUT it will annoy enough people to make it worth the effort.

Due to the climate of political correctness now pervading America, Kentucky, Tennesseans and West Virginians will no longer be referred toas "HILLBILLIES ."
You must now refer to them as
APPALACHIAN-AMERICANS .


And furthermore...
HOW TO SPEAK ABOUT WOMEN

She is a "BREASTED AMERICAN."

2. She is not "EASY" -
She is "HORIZONTALLY ACCESSIBLE."

3. She is not a "DUMB BLONDE" - She is a "LIGHT-HAIRED DETOUR OFF THE INFORMATION SUPERHIGHWAY."

4. She has not "BEEN AROUND" -
She is a "PREVIOUSLY-ENJOYED COMPANION."

5. She does not "NAG" you -
She becomes "VERBALLY REPETITIVE."

6. She is not a "TWO-BIT HOOKER" -
She is a "LOW COST PROVIDER."

HOW TO SPEAK ABOUT MEN
AND BE POLITICALLY CORRECT:

2. He is not a "BAD DANCER" -

4. He is not "BALDING" -

5. He does not act like a "TOTAL ASS" -

Anything that pertains to food and has the word "Pennsylvania" or "Pennsylvania Dutch" in it will turn you into a fat redneck. Smile

While the maggots in the bucket story could be a complete lie, the stories of the food poisoning were not. Each person had talked about how they ate some bad food and had some major diarrhea, and eventually passed out on the toilet. These were people eating from various KFC's, it was not one particular location. That tells me that KFC has issues with cleanliness in general. Now without going into too much detail, a place I worked for in the past was also famous for their chicken dinners and a few times I was on hand for catered events where maggots made guest appearances. None of the workers disinfected the areas the maggots had gotten on, they simply wiped them off with a wet sponge, and continued to prepare food. This was not just a few maggots either, this seemed like a down right infestation. I was instructed to throw a bleach solution on the concrete outside and use a broom to destroy the maggots as people were coming in for the event. Looking back on it now I probably should have just called the health department.

Well, her heart is in the right place! Animals have no voice, outdated laws that only barely protect them. The KFC chickens. all I have to do while I walk by the one around the corner from me is think how they treat the chickens and I start feeling sick and upset. Works every time!

The most important thing is that they're dead. Doesn't matter how. Otherwise they are very difficult to put into the oven. IMHO.

Well, you cannot blame KFC, like I said management or workers has a lot to blame for that. Yuck! I don't eat greasy foods. Once in awhile I will go to KFC and have a dinner with someone, but that is when the moon is blue. Our KFC is not greasy here, but I don't know about others. There are so many KFC's that one is bound to screw up especially when you have teenagers cooking and serving food. They seem to play around a lot and mess up. I avoid fast food a lot. Maggots get started very easily if you don't dispose properly and if trash sits in the sun for just an hour or so it can get maggots fast. Hey, you know maggots are a source of protein....hehehehe...just kidding with you. Hope no one got sick. Chicken is so bad about getting salmonella poisoning. When I buy it at the market, I put it in a bag and before I cook it I rinse it off. It will make you sicker than I don't know what. Diarrhea, cold sweat and yeah you will pass out. I had salmonella poisoning from a restaurant once, (Chinese--Golden Dragon) I never went back.

Spicey, I am not a redneck. I have to say that we can out cook anyone else in this great old USA but that does not make us a redneck. You have to acquire the attitude to be a redneck and there are plenty everywhere and not just here. I have not said much in awhile because most of the conversations has been about war and I can see this on CNN. I don't turn my back on it but I don't have to comment on it every single time.

I can say that you haven't said much either, so what about you? You seem to be quiet these days.
