Presenting the KFC "Double Down", currently being test marketed in Rhode Island.



Yes, that is a cheese and bacon sandwich with two pieces of chicken serving as the bread.

Ha...my wife just told me about that yesterday. She works for the company that does all of the spices and stuff for KFC. She wasn't supposed to tell me about it, but I guess it's public knowledge now. haha Her reaction: "Wow...that's not healthy at all."

It blows my mind how KFC, Burger King, and McDonalds stay in business, let alone prosper. With so much knowledge available on how harmful this stuff is on the human body, you would think people would be more intelligent. This is before considering the common knowledge of how terrible this stuff actually tastes. You can't say anything about Putine if you eat at dirty bird =P

And now they come out with THIS thing, who eats this stuff? =P

I don't, but actually I also feel like I gave off the wrong impression about Poutine. I don't actually look down on it, the entire thread was mostly just for humorous effect and so we could all make fun of each other over cultural differences in our food types. (e.g., not just poutine but, say, the hamdog and Luther Burger as well). To the extent I did I certainly apologize.

As for why people eat at McFatass, Obesity King, Dirty Bird (I like that, by the way), Toxic Smell and other fast food outlets, the food tastes good even if such is fraudulent, and people of the modern age are creatures of convenience. I dunno what to tell you. I kind of miss it myself, but I can't let myself do that anymore, and I'm only now after eighteen years of paunch starting to unearth my abdominal muscles, so, it's finally off the table for me.

I dont care who you are, that shit looks good!

McD's and others taste bad? You got to be kidding. Its amazing for the price.

Oh, yeah, it does look tasty. So tasty that you know it can't be healthy. I try not to eat much fast food. When I usually cave, it's Taco Bell for some reason. I love Mexican Pizzas. haha

My preferred meal was always a Nachos Bellgrande with either two Taco Supremes or a Crunchwrap after they came out with those, God did I love it. But I'm on a mission to discover my abs like the New World and thus I eat right, these days.

Mmm...Crunchwraps are good, too. Thanks a lot...now I'm craving one. Maybe I'll get one when I go pick up my copy of Layton soon.

I know what you mean about getting in shape though. I'm slowly burning the weight off doing Wing Chun. Down to 195 from 207 or so. Gotta keep moving!

To be honest, what is unhealthy about that? It's too large a portion, but it's no different than a Cordon Bleu, and I make those sometimes on the grill. (Well, okay, this is fried, not grilled, but still.)

If I could buy one in California, I'd probably eat it to just do it.

Then again, I too have been on a quest for fitness this last 8 months, and made good strides.
