Is it true kfc chickens are genetically modified and headless or is that just an urban myth?

lol i dont no but my sister worked there in high school and she didnt eat it lol!

I used to love kfc.. I mean eat it all the time ... Till I saw the programme about it!! Put me straight off, even the sight of it makes me want to hurl.
I wish they'd do one on everybit of junk food so it puts me off. Like the way they make chocolate bars... Could do with being put off them!!

LOL MMMMM CHOCOLATE!!

Stop trying to corrupt me! I've eaten icecream , ben and jerrys caramel chew chew that's currently half price in my local shop!
Now ..anyone have any bad stories on ben or jerry?? Please feel free to share

You MADE me Google.... and it's a myth. Someone might have already debunked that one, but I only got as far as p19!

DH and I talked about the whole baby eating MacD's thing today as he had a puncture, and Kwik Fit is opposite MacD's. Ted had a little bit of McFlurry, and every time someone walked in or out, I felt judged! But no one knows how well and healthily he eats at home. I said lots of things about what I would/n't do with my baby, but one thing I have seen through is that no food with be banned; he needs to learn that it's fine to try everything in the right proportions; and junk food should be eaten rarely and seen as a treat!

OP- I wouldn't say a word. For what it's worth, I don't think she set out to appear judgemental, but it HAS provoked a cracking discussion. Some of the replies have had me rolling!

It was years ago when i saw the picture but they were barley alive and looked deformed and some didn't have beaks but not sure about genetically modified but there was something seriously wrong with those chickens,they just about had heads though the conditions with all of them sqashed together made me feel sick and put me off eating kfc ever since...

I see someone did get there first! I keep chickens in my garden, and can tell you that battery hens have their beaks and claws clipped short; because they live in such tight quarters, they might hurt each other, and bored birds will self harm too. I can tell you from experience that chickens are AWFUL to each other.... there's a reason we call people hen pecked, or talk about the pecking order. xxxx

My sister has ex battery farmed chickens in her garden,when they first arrived,they were in an awful state but to see them now,is lovely! all there feathers are back and they have put on weight. But yes they can be awful to each other!

Mine are all farm bred, but I love seeing ex batts in little coats that people knit for them!

Wow! That was a fun filled 21 pages! lol!

I think when you have a 20 month old you may feel different. Yep my 21 month old son has has McDonalds, And Burger Kind, KFC, Pizz hut, take away indian and chinese and various other yummy things like that. lol! He likes crisps and chocolate too!

And i craved McDonalds with these twins, so my TWINS have been fed McDonalds amongst other unhealthy things before they are even born! LOL!

I dont think you can judge until you have a child of your own at the same age. I said loads of things i would and wouldnt do before i was pregnant, different things when i was, different things when he was a baby and now different again now he is a toddler.

A 20 month old is a toddler anyway, so not really a baby.

Anyway, things change when it the situation yourself. i doubt your child will eat McDonalds as your clearly very anti McDs, but i would be surprised if you child gets to 20 months and doenst eat some unhealthy things.

I rememeber saying to my mum i wouldnt give my son anything sweet until he was a teeneager or requesting it himself lol! at 6 weeks he had surgery and they gave him sugar water to pasify him as he was nil by mouth lol! lasted a whole 6 weeks! obviously my son has never had sugary water since, but my mum went on and on about how i was insisting my son wouldnt taste anything sweet until he was much older. lol!

So my son does eat unhealthy foods, AND he doenst even share it! (shock horror) he has his own happy meal or whatever kids things there are.

If you gave my son a choice of loads of foods he would probably always choose fruit as he loves it, his diet is very varied, he is never sick and certainly not overweight.

Certainly you hear of people giving their kids McDonalds twice a DAY! shocking totally. But there is nothing wrong with treats from time to time.

Childhood obesity isnt caused by McDonalds, its caused by a lot of factors, mostly inactivity. Supersize me is extreme and actually if you lived on one type of food group for an exteded period it wouldnt be good. Its possible to kill yourself drinking too much water, you would have to drink a hell of a lot of water but anything taken to extreme is dangerous.

that's awful I've seen photos of people adopting ex battery hens from shelters and the poor things always look horrible, we'll be getting quite a few ex battery hens when we buy our own house as we're not allowed to keep chickens here

Thought this was going to be about an actual baby! It's really none of your business, if anyone commented on what Daisy ate I'd go mad!

I wouldn't say anything unless we were close friends, and even then I'd probably say it in a jokey manner. I think once a week is excessive. I don't personally see the need for babies/toddlers to have McDonalds at all, Noah's never been through choice of my own but I guess if we were stranded and it was the only choice then he would But I've not been in that situation... yet I don't particularly see it as a 'treat' either, someone mentioned about having negative attitudes to food if it's forbidden, it could work both ways if junk food is seen as a 'treat' they could grow up 'treating' themselves with crap and taking it to the extreme. It's not really a treat for the body anyway. If it had been totally up to me he wouldn't have had junk food at all until he was at the age of having friends who eat it, obviously I wouldn't want him to be left out but before then I really don't see the need

Am I the only one who doesn't want my child eating fast food at all? Not till he's at school anyway....and even then it won't be ME offering it to him!
And I agree that KFC is the worst of the worst...ick

Pretty sure I said that at a year old too!

I don't particularly want Abby eating it. But on the other hand it isn't the worst thing in the world either.

 

[Betheney]

those poor chickens this is why i'm vegetarian.

p.s. sorry to post about something off topic, i just spotted the KFC chicken comments

I'd personally like to get a small fry, mash it up, and serve it with a side of rice cereal.. and maybe those rusk things you guys keep talking about as desert.

I gotta go though because I gotta put a couple teaspoons of Splenda in my baby's formula which is totally okay because it's not "real sugar".

 

[hot tea]

When you said baby I thought you meant baby, not toddler... 20 months really is not that young at all.

No, I wouldn't say a peep. It is far from your business. Even if she did it every day it still would not be your business.

damn I could go for one of their quarter pounders right about now, and since I'm bf, DD gets everything I eat, so in a way, DD will be eating Mc Fat Palace too, guess I'm just as guilty here
