Finger lickin’ good all the way to the court

Apparently KFC’s fried chicken is bad for our heart. A US-based consumer group says the global fast-food outlet was using a type of oil that promotes heart disease.

The Center for Science in the Public Interest says the frying oil used by KFC makes our arteries ‘extra crispy’. To protect us, the unsuspecting consumers, this group filed a suit today in Washington seeking KFC to stop using this oil and switch to healthier oil.

If the group fails in its bid, it wants the court to require signs at KFC outlets saying "KFC fried chicken and certain other foods contain trans fat, which promotes heart disease."

And how does KFC react to all these? They say the lawsuit was baseless.

So consumers, it is your choice. Do make up your mind before you step into a KFC store the next time to have a finger lickin’ good experience.
