Argue all you want about poor food education but Dumb is Dumb, only when someone loses a loved one from a painful illness brought on by laziness, greed(eating as much junk as possible) and down right stupidity about health will people learn, in the meantime let KFC make money, at least someone is earning a living. Sorry to sound cold, but people choose to put crap into their body and they should learn to live with it.

The problem isn’t that food establishments make and sell this stuff. Food establishments make and sell this stuff for one simple reason: people want it and buy it.

The problem is that too many people do not understand the implications of what they eat, and so eat all kinds of terribly unhealthy “foods” that do all kinds of nasty things to their bodies. The problem is a growing combination of ignorance (poor health and food education) and laziness (unwilling to think and/or expend effort to learn and eat better, eagerness to just blame Them instead of taking self-responsibility). The problem is that people *want* this stuff; companies just keep themselves alive and competitive by responding to public demand.

Attacking and taxing companies that sell this stuff is a clumsy and ineffective (and arguably unfair) way to attack a symptom while ignoring the core problem, which is one of the education and self-responsibility of the consumer.

Exactly, jason. How dare they make food and then force it down people’s throats! Oh wait, they didn’t. It’s just as much the fault of the people as it is of the companies.

And with this we continue on the downward spiral. The government should start slapping a big fat tax on items like this since KFC and the others have shown no self control.

It is actually called the KFC Double Down Burger and it looks incredible. I am such a chicken fan and deep-fried fillets (the healthiest cut) are my favorite. I am contemplating (considering, to all you dummies out there) driving 5 hours to get one. But, I will probably just wait until they are sold in my city (or nearby). To those out there who feel it is a bad idea to bring out such a product when America is so fat, let people eat what they want. I’ll drink a glass of milk with mine, if it will shut you up.
And why is everyone complaining that the chicken is the bun? KFC is concerned about our collective health and decided to do away with the bread. Thanks, KFC.
And what about the guy/gal who eats a 3-piece meal? Or has a bucket for dinner with the family and eats 4 pieces, fries, gravy, coleslaw, pop and a piece of cake?

Um…wow.

That thing is both impressive (points for outside-the-bun creativity) and frightening (for voluminous fried fattiness).

Any idea how the fat and calorie counts would change if the fillets were grilled (or otherwise prepared) instead of fried? (They do serve Kentucky Grilled Chicken, after all.) I’m very curious if someone’s run those numbers…
