> So if the first listed ingredient represents the most abundant ingredient... It's seasoning, so it doesn't seem surprising at all that MSG would be pretty high on the list. Do you think that's bad?
When some one says "secret recipe of 11 herbs & spices" my mind doesn't immediately jump to MSG as an herb or spice. Then to see that it is the primary ingredient definitely jumps out to me. Does it not to you?

Vote with your Canadian dollars, eat from restaurants who serve pork. It turns out that my countrymen love porchetta.
But when has KFC ever served pork or bacon? They're a chicken restaurant. Best I can guess is maybe they had a fried chicken sandwich that had strips of bacon too? But not really a huge loss -- bacon is definitely not any kind of classic topping for fried chicken, the way it is for burgers. I mean, I love bacon but I don't want it with fried chicken. Bacon adds crunch and chewiness to a burger; fried chicken is alrea…
I'd rather eat bacon than hormone infused chicken, fully grown in less than a month, pressure fried in a crust of MSG saturated dough, which is supposedly halal and Colonel Sanders actually hates. In fact I just went to the Italian store and bought almost half a kilo of porchetta because of what I read here. It'll keep us well fed for at least two days and has all the collagen my wife otherwise gets from awfully tasting expensive supplements.
Praise the lard!
The first and second times I visited KFC in the US I was shocked there were no vegetables in their sandwiches. Other than the corn, and coleslaw, no lettuce or other ingredients in the sandwiches. In europe, and China and any other country I’ve seen KFC they have amazing Zinger sandwiches with lattice and sauces and grea flavor. We make it a point to never go to KFC in the US.
One thing I find utterly depressing is how literally every American fast food chain has infinitely better quality and taste in their overseas locations. Evidently they save their absolute worst products for their home market.

You're not making any sense. Unless the majority owner has a different share class with reduced voting rights then they can absolutely control the Board.
Yeah brainfart. What i meant to say that in a public company you are expected to choose. Either you have control of the board or you are the CEO having control of the operations. Not both.

Every founder I have met after selling their company.
However he sold it; they apparently, to this day have rights to his likeness. I would hope that would give him some power to call them out if they are making a lesser product in his name, all the while passing it off as his 'original recipe'
*My wife's family salts everything to hell and back. I think this is because their sense of taste is declining. So perhaps I've been gifted a sensitive palette that has not lost much with age. Its worth mentioning that my in-laws struggle with obesity, diabetes, and high-blood pressure. I'm thankfully afflicted with none of these things.

Dunno, I never eat KFC food. I'd rather eat bacon than hormone infused chicken, fully grown in less than a month, pressure fried in a crust of MSG saturated dough, which is supposedly halal and Colonel Sanders actually hates.

They're both hormone free.
"Under Federal law, hormones are only approved for use in beef cattle, swine**, and lamb production. There are no hormones approved for use in the production of poultry, goat, veal calves, mature sheep, or exotic, non-amenable species"

>pressure fried in a crust of MSG saturated dough
The typical preparation of bacon basically involves it frying in its own fat. I'm not sure how pressure frying is any more worse. Moreover bacon contains nitrates and nitrites, which is known to cause cancer, unlike msg

>which is supposedly halal
I think you're misunderstanding whether Halal means. Halal just means the food adheres to Islamic laws. It says nothing whether it's safe or healthy. Unless you're a practicing muslim (which seems unlikely), it shouldn't be part of your consideration one way or the other.

It's so weird to see this completely legitimate critique of food labelling standards is stitched on to a nothing-comment about seasoning containing MSG
How is it any more of a nothing-comment than yours? MSG is fine, but it definitely isn't what I would have imagined being the main ingredient. A little MSG goes a long way, so if that's the main ingredient, how little is used of the actual herbs&spices? I never said anything negative about MSG. You read that into it on your own instead of just thinking about the rest of what was implied
Anyway it doesn't matter.

I’d say they’re responding to different market demands.
