KFC - Chicken or Genetically Manipulated Organisms

Mate sent me this and I'm just not sure if I believe it....anyone confirm or
deny story ?

I just love KFC but this story turned my stomach

A Horrible Fact about KFC:

KFC has been a part of our American traditions for many years. Many people,
day in and day out, eat at KFC religiously. Do they Really know what they
are eating? During a recent study of KFC done at the University of New
Hampshire, they found some very upsetting facts.

First of all, has anybody noticed that just recently, the company Has
changed their name? Kentucky Fried Chicken has become KFC. Does Anybody know
why? We thought the real reason was because of the "FRIED" Food issue. IT'S
NOT! ! The reason why they call it KFC is because they can Not use the word
chicken anymore. Why? KFC does not use real chickens. They actually use
genetically manipulated organisms. These so called "chickens"? are kept
alive by structure. They have no beaks, no feathers, and no feet. Their bone
structure is dramatically shrunk to get more meat out of them. This is great
for KFC. 'Because they do not have to pay so much for their production
costs'. There is no more plucking of the feathers or the removal of the
beaks and feet. The government has told them to change all of their menus so
they do not say chicken anywhere. If you look closely you will notice this.
Listen to their commercials, I guarantee you will not see or hear the word
chicken. I find this matter to be very disturbing. I hope people will start
to realize this and let other people know. Please forward this message to as
many people as you can.

JoeSixpack Member	Posted: Mon Mar 14, 2005 \| 10:02 PM This is pretty funny. I've heard this before and I knew it was an urban legend. I personally can't stand KFC, never could, even as a child. One day I was stuck somewhere and the Colonel was my only option. I went in and was looking at the menu and realized that the word "chicken" was nowhere on there. I had a hard time ordering with a straight face.

Gentropy Member	Posted: Tue Mar 15, 2005 \| 06:15 AM I used to be a chicken...then the colonel offered me a job. 'See the world' he said and led me to his office. After feeding me a myriad of drugs as a 'precautionary measure' against time dilation I was loaded onto a gurney. Then I began to notice changes in my body...I never realized I would never be the same again sniff All my feathers fell off and I became a blob of an organisms. No other chickens would cluck to me anymore. They took parts of me and cloned me to make an army...an army of food. Damn that colonel and his soothing hot oil bath.
dog	Posted: Tue Mar 15, 2005 \| 06:54 AM Why would they get rid of the beaks? That's the best part.
Nettie in Perth, Western Australia Member	Posted: Tue Mar 15, 2005 \| 07:16 AM I worked for KFC for 8 years (I know, it's sad but it got me through all my studies) and I can assure you that real chickens were used. (Well they are in Australia, I don't know what the hell they're feeding you guys) KFC don't run their own chicken farms, they get supplied by proper chciken suppliers (here it's Inghams). So if the chickens aren't 'real' then it's actually the chicken company that is doing it, not KFC. Personally, if you cook something in THAT much oil, I don't consider it to be proper food anymore anyway, with or without beaks.
X in McKinney, TX Member	Posted: Tue Mar 15, 2005 \| 07:58 AM The Food Network stated that KFC changed it's name because the state of Kentucky did something so they can charge a tax for businesses that use the states name. Even the "Kentucky Derby" would have to pay this outragious tax. KFC refused to do this so, thus, KFC was born.
X in McKinney, TX Member	Posted: Tue Mar 15, 2005 \| 08:03 AM Also, about the chicken mutalations, here are some good links to see chicken abuse videos and then a link to KFC defending themselves. http://www.peta.org/feat/moorefield/ http://www.kentuckyfriedcruelty.com/ http://www.kfc.com/about/facts.htm
Citizen Premier in spite of public outcry Member	Posted: Tue Mar 15, 2005 \| 08:07 AM It's true that the chickens we eat do not live happy lives, but that's a whole different story. Animal abuse does not raise the same outrage as genetic engineering. I'd have to say though, that I'd feel better eating genetically engineered animals that felt no pain and were pretty much just organs and muscle grown in a machine. Or, if they did have brains, we could link them into some sort of pleasure device. A chicken matrix, if you will.
The Curator in San Diego Member	Posted: Tue Mar 15, 2005 \| 08:12 AM The Chicken Matrix. I think that would make a great movie. And Keanu could still play the lead.
Terry Austin	Posted: Tue Mar 15, 2005 \| 03:47 PM The only reason I eat at KFC is to celebrate the PETA boycott of KFC. Every time I see some idiotic celebrity - usually a rock star of some kind - telling me how evil the Colonel is, I make a beeline straight to the nearest KFC to reward them for pissing off PETA. The counter help get a real kick out of it.
Myst Member	Posted: Tue Mar 15, 2005 \| 05:08 PM KFC Worker: Welcome to KFC, may I take your order please! Customer: I'll have a bucket of extra crispy genetically engineered chicken. KFC Worker: Would you like that with or without the feathers?
Rod in the land of smarties. Member	Posted: Tue Mar 15, 2005 \| 06:04 PM Here's a Matrix video for ya... PETA propaganda, but hilarious. Don't eat the red pill, I warn you now. http://www.peta.org/feat/meatrix/
Citizen Premier in spite of public outcry Member	Posted: Tue Mar 15, 2005 \| 11:35 PM You know, a lot of what they said about factory farms is true, but who would ever take it seriously when shown like that? Some people really suck at analogies.
BRIAN	Posted: Thu Aug 18, 2005 \| 06:58 AM HI I JUS LOOK AT THIS SITE N FOUND IT WELL FUNNY THAT CHICKENS THEY USE HAVE NO BEAKS OR FEET OR FEATHERS. WHAT DO U THINK THEY ARE CALLED? DOES ANY ONE HAVE A PIC OR ONE OF THESE THINGS?? THAT THEY COULD EMAIL TO ME PLZ LOL
Lucinda 'Addanda' Mabinza	Posted: Sun Aug 21, 2005 \| 11:45 AM My older brother works at SARS and this is where he got this story from.I am only 12,but I believe this story,and I am going to tell as many people as I can.thank you for telling us this horrifying tale!
helen	Posted: Sat Oct 22, 2005 \| 08:58 PM i went to the kfc on rome-hilliard road today and got a bucket of chicken. we found hair on the chicken--so we could not eat any of it. i can prove this as i kept the hair.
Johnny	Posted: Wed Oct 24, 2007 \| 04:23 AM I don't care.. It's still tasty.. Yum!!! More 'meat and skin', more love.. Hehe.
shelly	Posted: Mon Jul 07, 2008 \| 08:04 PM this is a hoax! kfc uses real chickens they are only genetically modified. they are kept on a diet of growth promoters and kept in small spaces that is why people are so skeptical of them.
Roche	Posted: Thu Jul 10, 2008 \| 05:01 AM I have worked with KFC for more than 15 yrs. I found that we are using Chicken which having legs, heads,feather etc.But never forget remove those before cooking!!!!The statement is baseless!!! 😝
Vegetarian3596	Posted: Tue Jul 15, 2008 \| 05:39 PM i am a vegetarian from hearing many of these stories. i would not be surprised if this was true. either way, i will not eat animals, but i am all for the rights of animals. when i read the story about the mutant chickens with no heads, feet, or beacks, and being fed through tubes with blood and food, i was sick to my stomach and started crying. i hope that it is not true. and if by any small chance this is true, i am going to protest and convince everyone i know never to eat at kfc ever again.
Space Cowboy	Posted: Mon Jun 15, 2009 \| 08:46 PM When I first heard this, I knew it had to be bullshit, but not wanting to offend my cousin who told me, I stroked my chin thoughtfully and said "Hmmm, is that so..." as she told her tale =) but as with most Urban Legends, there's a grain of truth to this story... In the mid 80's I worked for a company in San Diego that manufactured poultry equipment; and one of their products was a machine called a Debeaker, which was basically a blade heated by electricity which would be used on chicks to remove the point of their beaks. I asked my boss why you'd remove a chicken's beak, and he told me that in the massive barns used to raise chickens, if the beaks weren't removed, the chickens would kill each other by pecking with their sharp beaks. I suspect this is also the reason they are declawed. Chickens have been bred over the past 50 years to have larger breasts and leg quarters, but to my knowledge featherless chickens are still science-fiction. Oh, yeah, one more thing- humans are Omnivores- we'll eat anything! Someone needs to tell those PETA douchebags that the protein from eating meat was the main reason the human brain developed as it did. I don't feel guilty for being at the top of the food chain, and now I think I'll go eat a leftover drumstick from last night's BBQ- Bon Appetit, yall!!!
cukoo people kfc is right	Posted: Sun Oct 04, 2009 \| 07:42 AM kfc is right. they and the farmers are not cruel to chickens and they use real chickens without hair, and on top of that, you stupids don't know anything about the so called "name change"!!! They only shortened the full name so people don't have to say things as quick as the people in the commercials. I only know this when it comes to KFC Canada. I have no clue for any other country. I am only 10 but I will tell everyone that you guys are stupid and kfc treats their chickens fair and they use CHICKENS!!!!!
