:There are quite a few sourced statements in that section. The article is cited exactly the way it should be and you had no business removing that section. When an accusation by an established group such as Greenpeace or PETA is made, it is notable and as such acceptable for inclusion. You may not like the organizations, but it is inappropriate for you to delete the content based on your biases.

text: I'm puzzled as to why it wasn't mentioned in the first place that Douglass was a noteworthy figure, so, yes, that _probably_ makes her comment notable as long as her position is noted.  And I think I've already alluded to this, but YES, I think the rats thing is noteworthy enough for inclusion.  Bottom line: Please update the text to ensure noteworthiness of Douglass' remark.  As for reducing, that will probably happen with copyediting over time anyway, so let's drop that for now. Stevie is the man! Talk • Work 00:17, 10 August 2007 (UTC)

thread_title:  urban legend 

message: The roughly 1 billion chickens killed each year for KFC's buckets are crammed by the tens of thousands into excrement-filled sheds that stink of ammonia fumes. 
The birds’ legs and wings often break because they’re bred to be too top-heavy and because workers carelessly shove them into transport crates and shackles. 
Chickens’ throats are slit and the animals are dropped into tanks of scalding-hot water to remove their feathers, often while they are still conscious and able to feel pain. 
KFC lets frustrated factory-farm and slaughterhouse workers handle live birds, so many of the animals end up being sadistically abused. At a KFC “Supplier of the Year” slaughterhouse in West Virginia, workers were documented tearing the heads off live birds, spitting tobacco into their eyes, spray-painting their faces, and violently stomping on them. This was discovered more than two years after KFC promised PETA that it was taking animal welfare seriously. 
KFC hides behind its Animal Welfare Advisory Council, even though five members of the council have resigned in frustration. One of them, Adele Douglass, told the Chicago Tribune that KFC “never had any meetings. They never asked any advice, and then they touted to the press that they had this animal-welfare advisory committee. I felt like I was being used.”   —Preceding unsigned comment added by 205.211.230.160 (talk) 00:55, 5 February 2009 (UTC)

message: This pages lists KFC as employing 750,000 (with no citation).  But KFC is owned by Yum Brands (who also owns Pizza Hutt, Taco Bell and some other fast food chains) and Yum Brands sales revenue is less have half of McDonalds while the Wikipedia page on McDonalds says they employ around 500,000.
750,000 for KFC seems far too high.  Or at least unreliable.
This is important because no sales revenue figures are cited on this page, so researchers looking to establish how large KFC is will use this employee number as a proxy.
I suggest it be deleted unless a reliable citation can be found.
PS my estimate is that KFC sales revenue is around $2 - $3 billion.

thread_title:  Number of employees ? 

message: I think that the article should be edited because although KFC advertises their product to have "zero grams" of trans fatty acids in their chicken, federal food labeling regulations mention that a serving of a product that has .499 of a gram of trans fat is zero.  Clearly, if the KFC chicken product does not contain trans fat, the proper way to advertise a product is by saying "no trans fat."  That's how they get you: "zero grams trans fat" vs. "no trans fat."  Saying "zero" lets them get away with up to .499 grams.
You should try KFC's nutrition program on their website.  Input in the system that you are to consume a regular style chicken breast, it says 0 grams trans fat.  But if you input in the system that you were to consume ten of the chicken breasts, the actual total of trans fat is 3 grams.  So literally, each piece of chicken contains more than zero trans fat, and less or at .499 grams. Akit 22:16, 9 October 2007 (UTC)
replies: text: Products that are animal protein based tend to have a small amount of naturally occurring trans-fat, especially parts like the fatty skin of a chicken. Statistically speaking you are correct, however I believe that the amount, less than .5g, is so small that they are allowed to claim 0g. If someone is eating ten breasts of KFC chicken alone indicates serious dietary concerns besides what trans-fat you would get from consuming the usual 1-2 pc KFC meals, the ten pieces is the equivalent to a full bucket of chicken from them. - Jeremy (Jerem43 22:58, 9 October 2007 (UTC)

message: It was obvious that someone who created this section had quite bitter views on franco-anglo relations in Quebec. Ive made an effort to elimante this abusive tone. Some concerns here is that the comment about France was not related directly to `canada`and the comment regarding that the company is the only one in qunbec to change its name or few is false, many companies operating in quebec understand thhe prefereed language of speech in a region in Quebec and use a french name, shoppers drug mart can be seen as pharmaprix, Macs can be seen as Couche tard( open late). and these are just off the top of my head, as well if you travel to Quebec between the province of Quebec and ontario you will see many stores which based on the local preference will use either french or english,(this includes cities like ottawa and some of those in Northern Ontario which is why there is language laws to protect certain cities preferences to language, it isnt only english the sign has to be in but in french too to respect both language.

replies: text: Thanks for cleaning it up. Note that "Mac's" is Couche-Tard because Couche-Tard is actually the mother company (though I remember the days back when it was Provi-Soir). There are other examples, such as Staples which is Bureau en Gros in Quebec and Mark's Work Wearhouse, known as L'Équipeur. But yes, adapting the brand name to the market goes both ways, and not necessarily because of laws. "Chez Cora" uses "Cora's Breakfast and Lunch" outside of Quebec, simply because "Chez Cora" would suggest something French and thus fancy in English speaking markets, and that's not the image they want to project.--Boffob (talk) 20:40, 16 February 2008 (UTC)

Unfortunately, A&W was not successful here in Germany (all 3 locations - Berlin (Kurt-Schumacher-Damm), Cologne reverted to a KFC-only outlet in late 2005; the Berlin location followed in 2007. The Garbsen location closed in late 2005).  I do have a higher-res pic of the former co-branded location from 2003.  I can post it instead if anyone is interested.  Otherwise, I will take a new pic once I have some time to go by that location. Toni S. (talk) 18:46, 18 January 2009 (UTC)

Several PETA undercover investigations and videos of these and other KFC suppliers purport to show chickens being beaten, ripped apart, and thrown against walls contradict KFC’s claims.

Sorry if this is a dumb thing to bring up; I'm new, I'm not sure what gets fixed here.

message: KFC came out with this sandwich awhile back, which was an exact copy of Chick-Fil-A's sandwich. (fried chicken breast, 3 pickles, metallic bag) I'm wondering if this was due to poor demand or some legal action by Chick-Fil-A, as it was an *exact* copy. Either way, this needs to be added in the discontinued section.
Also, in most stores I've seen, KFC does not have multiple chicken sandwiches,as the article says. After the demise of the Cravin', the only one they say they have is the Tender Roast. 74.227.144.181 (talk) 07:52, 20 February 2009 (UTC)

message: It states in the article that kentucky nuggets were discontinued, but you can still buy them in Australia. The nuggets are also listed on the menu on the Australian KFC website. I wont change anything because I don't know how to put in the reference, but if anyone else feels like its worth changing then feel free.. cheers. Fionaalison (talk) 16:10, 23 February 2009 (UTC)

message: The "Advertising" section should mention this: In October 2003, KFC began airing two national television ads touting fried chicken as a healthy diet choice. When I first saw these ads, I thought they were a joke. When I realized they were serious, I was flabbergasted at the rank absurdity of the claims and at KFC's chutzpah. Needless to say, there was a swift public backlash, culminating with CSPI filing a complaint with the FTC. The ads were pulled within a month. Start your research by Googling "KFC healthy ad".
I'm also surprised that the Kentucky Fried Movie article doesn't mention the movie's obvious title source.  —Preceding unsigned comment added by 216.177.8.185 (talk) 21:19, 6 May 2009 (UTC)

replies: text: I figured out how to add the picture but decided against doing it because the logo and name are too small unless if I choose a large photo size.
