Default What's up with Fast Food

Hardee's now as a low carb breakfast bowl and 2 items for lunch.
McD's is not offering a mileage gadget with an 'Adult' Happy Meal and down
sizing their super size.
KFC really needs to bring back their original rotisserie chicken as that was
the best before they dried it out and unspiced it.

Anyway, what is going on?

I loved that stuff.

As you accelerate your food, it takes exponentially more and more energy
to increase its velocity, until you hit a limit at C. This energy has
to come from somewhere; in this case, from the food's nutritional value.
Thus, the faster the food is, the worse it gets.

It's all a plot to bring down Krispy Kreme.

I was there (KFC) a few days ago (yeah, I know it isn't low carb, I was
picking up dinner but not for myself) and they had a sign up for oven
roasted marinated chicken of some sort...that might be pretty comparable to
the rotisserie chicken.

Arby's has 2 low carb wraps. Turkey and Bacon ans BLT. I like the Turkey
one the best they're lots bigger than Subway's wraps but are about 15
carbs.

Depends on what they've been marinated in.

Not quite. The rotisserie chicken would be much better tasting (even
without spices) than the new oven roasted chicken they are selling
now. I had this just the other day. The strips were small (seemed a
little dried out, but that could've been just the KFC I bought them
at.) They had a coating on them that stuck to the roof of your mouth
and left a bad, bad after taste. Horrible!

I would never buy them again, and wouldn't even advise others to.
Unless of course you want to find out how horrible they are.

I talked to the manager of that KFC, they basically said the same
thing - they don't even want them in their store, but have to sell
them because they are a KFC product.

And, they are expensive. I think I'll stick to roasting my own
chicken here at home!

Try getting a chicken that is cut in half (or butterflied), then,
baste it with a little olive oil and spices. Turn the oven on to 350
degrees F. Every 15 min, turn the chicken over. Like having your own
rotissiere. Just cook it until done, I think mine took about 45
min. The skin turned out really crisp and the meat was tender - fall
off the bone tender.
I think the whole chicken costs less than $5.

I know exactly what you mean. My wife and I went to KFC also and both of us
got that nasty, vile chicken. I wiped some of the coating off the roof of
my mouth with a napkin and was very, very disappointed with it. It was very
salty tasting, too. At least the green beans were halfway decent. My wife
was looking forward to the chicken also (she is not low carbing) and was
quite disappointed herself. We were joking as we left by saying to people
(under our breaths) not to get the nasty chicken.

Huge disappointment.
