Hi, guys, do you hear about the KFC´s "mutant chicken" rumor ? Personally I don´t believeit is true and I like their food very much .Although I have seen some horrible photos from an email about the chicken, I think it is only bogus. What do you think? If you google: here is a link : http://urbanlegends.about.com/od/fooddrink/a/kfc_chicken.htm
KFC doesn't have its own farms iirc, they buy from a network of chicken farms in North America. I don't know of the issue you're actually talking about though... care to provide a link?
the story is fake... this has been online forever... it's bullshit... do KFC serve u "mutant" chicken? no... featherless chicken? no... chicken with no feet or heads? no... wtf do they do!!!!11! KFC, like all other non organic chicken farmers, serve chicken that are pumped full of hormones, antibiotics, steroids, whatever... to make their breasts bigger... essentially they're serving you real chicken, just they're bigger and pumped with an extra dose of NATURAL, substances...
Oh please, I can't believe people read this nonsensical shit and then actually spend time worrying about it. Nobody manually plucks feathers anymore; they're all done by automatic machine. Moreover, their feathers are then ground up and sold to other agricultural markets as a protein additive, as are other parts of the bird if not used (including chicken heads with beaks or not). Egg laying hens are usually debeaked to prevent fighting and injury. But since these hens lay eggs, they're not meant to be eaten so beaks become a moot issue. Chicken feet in the US are largely exported to Asia. So every part of the bird has cash value, ie. it would not be thrown out in the first place. So obviously, this hoax was started in a country where they don't eat chicken feet, and the authors' know little or next to nothing about the commercial poultry industry. Forgetting about the fact that there really is no financial need at all for this, please read between the lines; just how do they actually 'pump blood and nutrients' into these living chickenesque type organisms? Have anyone here actually had to cannulate (put a tube into) a vein or artery? Most people fail to appreciate the time and costs that goes into medical procedures. To start an intravenous using strict aseptic technique (maintaining sterility) on a chicken and then keeping it in there without getting the chicken infected; takes tremendous skill and time. They would also have to hire enough people to process millions of chickens a year, thereby requiring a multi-million dollar payroll for lab techs to do this. Thus a chicken processed in such a manner would literally have to cost a hundred times more than what it does now if it was to ever turn a profit. In other words, it someone actually did what the article claimed, it would wind up costing them an extreme amount money, not saving it. So financially, this continues to make absolutely no sense, even if the technology was available. Moreover, each IV set up would have to be packaged by a manufacturer. So where is the garbage trail of millions of sets of tubes for poultry IV devices? Again, people fail to realize the tremendous amounts of disposable refuse from medical uses. If farms did this and didn't use disposable, but instead reused equipment, then they would have to have a process to wash and repeatedly sterilize all the used tubes and needles. With such a large number of chickens, the operational costs would again be prohibitive and such large sterilization facilities physically couldn't be hidden. Thus, all the allegations in the hoax are what I call zombie science; it's make believe imaginary shit that would never work in the first place because it's not based on real science. What is disturbing to me personally is the realization that there are some really gullible people in the world. This is exactly the reason why idiots like Wakefield (author of vaccine hoax) can exist to bring harm to the world; people are just stupid and assholes will take advantage. Moreover, KFC alledgedly didn't change their name because they wanted to mind you, but rather, according to the article; they were ordered to by the government. Let's examine that premise, that they were ordered to change their name because the government knew they weren't selling real chickens; so in order to stay on the right side of the law (ie please the government by not falsely advertising), they thus changed their name? Like HELLO? The government knew all about this; that KFC is selling stuff that's not chicken? Does one stop to think what the Food and Drug Administration may have to say about that? If such a thing were true, the government is probably the last group that KFC would ever want to find out. Like, Da-uh... Sources: http://www.madehow.com/Volume-5/Chicken.html
i know KFC chickens are more drugged up than that shady geeza off brookside but the whole pumping stuff into the veins is obviously fake, i doubt people take it seriously. but tbh i couldnt care less, im still eating my Makky dees and my KFC.
The production cost of feeding chicken through tubes is very cost intensive. Big multi-nationals would buy from farmers forcing their profit margins way down whilst having no over heads in running of a "farm".
