I've been seeing a bunch of KFC commercials lately that give the impression that fried chicken is suddenly the new miracle diet food. They quote some fat content numbers and stuff and very very very quickly mention that they're talking about a boneless skinless chicken breast. Then they show a piece of fried chicken getting sliced and then a dude diggin into a bucket of original recipe. They even talk about how it's a great source of protein for your low-carb diet.

There's another one like, a wife says to her husband sitting on the couch, "You're gonna start eating healthy now," and then she plunks down a bucket of chicken in front of him. He's like, "cool" and digs in.

Now I'm pretty sure most people understand that fried chicken is not healthy to eat. It kind of pisses me off that KFC is trying to mislead people based on all the low-carb crazyness that's been floating around lately.

This is painfully misleading advertising. I mean come on, they're saying freakin FRIED CHICKEN is a health food! :rant:

 

Well I could make a racial remark right now but I'll hold it in

 

Whatever man that's just dumbshit double speak.

Talk about the chicken, or the ads.

 

It's a smart marketing technique, the idiots who actually believe this will go out and eat this stuff. Same with Subway diet. It's all crap! It's called exercise, get off your ass and do something physical. The majority of the people want the "miracle cure" that will help them get skinny while they sit in a chair watching reality TV, Drinking a beer and having a "healthy Subway" sandwich.
:doh:

 

Wasn't the reason they changed from kentucky Fried Chicken to KFC because they wanted to stop reminding people of the fact they are FRIED. bastards

 

..just think people get paid big money to think of marketing tricks to screw the stupid people in this country

anyways, KFC is still good eatin though

 

i was thinking about mcdonalds getting sued for enticing fat people to eat.

i doubt that law suit will stick, but KFC could get cornholed on this little job.

 

the advertisement industry preys on stupid people, and there are plenty of those in america. people need to stop suing for ridiculous things that are their own fault. we, as a nation need to become educated consumers and start taking responsibilities for our own actions and not taking advantage of the food industry

 

Fried Chicken is healthy to me. :dunno: When I eat it, I'm not hungry anymore...and it's yummy.

 

actually they are trying to market to people on low carb diets..hence stating 11 grams of carbs per piece...on a low carb diet fat content doesnt matter.....
