Comments on: KFC’s New ‘Vegan’ Sandwich, Now With 20% More Chicken Grease http://deceiver.com/2008/07/22/kfcs-new-vegan-sandwich-now-with-20-more-chicken-grease/ The two-faced and famous have something new to worry about.

Apparently the author does not know that cholesterol is found in the cell membranes of animal tissues. Only trace amounts are found in plants. Frying in plant oil adds no cholesterol though I agree its not very healthy. A vegan diet is extremely low in cholesterol. Also to Vince a few posts above who said ...."Needless to say, he was rather pissed when I wrote to him and asked how Transubstantiation factored into his vegetarianism." I am a vegetarian and Catholic. There is nothing about the Eucharist that makes it not vegetarian friendly. You need to look up the meaning of the word "substance".

If you think about it, any time a vegertarian or Vegan eats out (fast food) anything deep fried is fried in the same vat or cooked on the same grill. KFC Canada is also agree to use a CAK system (Controlled Animal Killing) which gasses the chickens before they are even removed from the cages at the slaughter house. This is by far the most huumane method available. I personally am Vegan, but I dont care what people eat, its a choice you make. All my friends are "meat-eaters" and I wouldnt dare condemn or attack them for their choice, just as i dont want to be condemned or attacked for my own choices. my only issue is when people try and attack an idea or a step that is postive. Why do that? Yea it's cooked in the same vat, but change happens in small steps. Why attack or belittle it? How about be happy with your choices and have some understanding to progress, even if it doesnt affect you directly? Anyway that's my 2 cents.

Officially. What are they doing while there is a genocide in Darfur? Protesting chicken deaths. Yes, chickens shouldn't be abused. No, it doesn't matter that much. Try focusing on NOT wasting resources, and helping PEOPLE, guys. Maybe with the money you use publicizing Pam and paying Olympic stars to pose naked, you could feed people in Africa. PETA is stupid.

Back when they had their "Jesus was a vegetarian" campaign going on, I did a little research and discovered that the guy overseeing that particular fiasco was a PETA-nutcase named Bruce Friedrich. I also discovered that Bruce Friedrich is a Roman Catholic. Needless to say, he was rather pissed when I wrote to him and asked how Transubstantiation factored into his vegetarianism.

They still fry, they just don't want you to know it. Pretty damn sneaky, if you ask me.
