Apparently KFC has decided to campaign for the Susan G Komen Breast Cancer Foundation this month by selling special ‘pink’ buckets of their greasy fried fowl (or foul). I’m all for supporting a good cause, but the irony of the whole situation is a little hard to swallow (especially after premiering their atrociously unhealthy double down sandwich this month). It’s become a well known medical fact that obesity and high fat diets drastically increase the chance of getting cancer, which makes this the fast food equivalent of plowing an old-growth forrest, throwing a few packets of seeds down, and calling yourself a green company.

But wait! What about their new grilled chicken? While it might take longer to get fat from the unfried side of KFC, it does apparently contain a good deal of carcinogens from a chemical called PhIP that results from how they rush their chicken through the cooking process (more on that here).  If you want to help battle cancer, then might I recommend staying as far from KFC as possible.
