What exactly would cause the heart attack here? KFC uses trans-fat free oil, chicken is healthier than red meat, and cheese doesn't clog arteries.

GAF always overreacts to food based on 1980's nutrition myths.

People use the term "heart attack" anytime something is unhealthy. Maybe it won't clog your arteries, but there's probably a shitload of fat in there anyway. Fried chicken and cheese isn't exactly the most healthy mix in the world.

I want to eat this. I probably won't though since I'm... you know, concerned with not dying of a heart attack. I still want to eat it, though.

Still not seeing what's so gross or dangerously unhealthy about this. Plenty of places sell chicken sandwiches with bacon and cheese. This actually removes the bread so it's almost carb-free. It's a better alternative to chicken sandwiches you can get elsewhere.

Does the appearance of bread and an ornamental piece of lettuce make other chicken sandwiches healthier?

I think the new meme is to automatically express disdain about anything fast food related, the actual makeup of the food doesn't matter.

What's KFC's staple item? Oh yeah, fried chicken. Do you demand gloves for that, too?

:lol at how seriously you're taking this.

What's worse? Two thin slices of bread, or a whole extra piece of fried chicken.

Ok, GAF, I took the plunge.

verdict: meh

very juicy, ALOT of sauce, chewy bacon, and the buns/breasts break apart about half way through.

My God, that's genius!
There's no way in hell I'm going to eat that though, the McGangbang is where I draw the line.


Aslo, LULZ @ 'it's almost carb-free'
I remember when KFC had to stop airing adds that tries to make fired chicken healthy using the fucking Atkins angle.

My fucking KFC doesn't have the sandwich yet. Got an original recipe sandwich instead and raged quietly in my house with a mouthful of classic awesome.

That looks like an interesting concept/construct. Oh who am I kidding, I'm not paying $6.99 for that monstrosity.

That's for the combo. The sandwich alone can't be more than 5.

I was laughing at someone trying to use that point as some kind of silver lining to make this obesity bomb less horrible.
Seriously, double up that fried chicken and bacon, but UGH get that bun out of here, I'm trying to get down to my fighting weight.

The point is that pointing to the slightly okay aspects doesn't excuse it from being a terrible, terrible food choice. You might as well defend people who supersize it and get a diet coke. Better, yes. Still shit.

And I believe most people are disgusted simply by the appearance.

Yeah, that doesn't help. I though it was something a customer threw together with parts of everyone's meal.

I would probably get one, but I don't like cheese, and it's probably pretty plain without it.

Still, the chicken looks pretty yummy to me.

The only bad part is the bacon. It's just chicken and cheese. When the hell did chicken and cheese become bad for us?

KFC's nutrition guide lists their chicken breast sandwich as being 480 calories.

A single original recipe chicken breast is 370 calories. So two of them is 740. Add in two slices of cheese, bacon, and the sauce, and it's probably around 1000 calories.

Honestly, cheese is bad for you from the fat/calories stand point. A little bit is ok, but that's at least a slice of each cheese. The main issue is the fried chicken. If if were two boiled or baked skinless breasts, OK, then thats fine. If KFC sells it, they must have the nutritional info somewhere. Basically, eating just that sandwich, with no pepsi or fries, is more fat and calories then the average person will burn in the whole day. I'm not saying don't enjoy it, I'm saying don't kid yourself.

858 calories and 62.4 grams of fat
Doesn't sound like it would be the ruiner of worlds if you have one.
