New York - Kentucky fried plant-based chicken is coming to a KFC in Atlanta this week. In a test of Beyond Meat's latest fake meat creation, KFC will offer "Beyond Fried Chicken" at a single restaurant in Smyrna, Georgia, near Atlanta's SunTrust Park. Beyond Meat (BYND) has added chicken to its lineup of plant-based products, which include burger, ground beef and sausage alternatives, among other meat substitutes. KFC will become the first nationwide fast food restaurant to test Beyond Meat's plant-based chicken.Plant-based meat alternatives have grown popular in supermarkets and restaurants across the world, as people search for environmentally friendly and healthier foods to eat.

Comments:

What's surprising about fake chicken in the era of fake news? For the time being most of us will stick with the bird. As Paul Kersey (Charles Bronson) said in Death Wish 3 , "Chicken's good. I like chicken." He wasn't talking about a plant substitute.

A very old vegetarian restaurant in Shanghai has been making fake chicken from soy for many decades. KFC’s quality has already been in decline for a long time. What’s to hurt?

There are a couple of companies developing real meat from cells in a lab. They extract the cells from a living animal and no need to kill it. Then they grow the cells into steak meat, etc. Sounds weird but it would be real meat, not a substitute.

When you remove real chicken deep fried then all you remain with are fried 'hockey pucks'. Go for it KFC and go out of business like Burger King. I quit all of the fast foods troughs years ago I don't dine on 'plastic food'. Let the liberals eat my ration of soy I'm not participating.

Wooly mammoths were good enough for grandpa; we don't need no stinkin' chickens or cows. C'mon people, how is this a bad thing? Do conservatives now think plant protein is the equivalent of fluoridated water or chemtrails or something?

Somebody please tell them to stop wasting time and money. What's up? Leftists are fake so they want their food to be fake too? Just call it something else. It's plant based; call it plinger picking plicken or something. Because it's plant-based, does that make it any more environmentally friendly and healthier? Just kill yourself if you can't handle hurting the planet. The planet will survive longer than all of us. Good grief! this is just plain annoying.

I actually love Beyond Meat’s burgers. I have very high cholesterol and my mother died of heart disease when she was the age that I am now, so I gave up all meat about 10 years ago. Beyond Meat burgers taste like the real thing. One of our local markets sells “vegan” chicken salad which also tastes like the real thing, even my carnivore husband likes it. Don’t know if it is made by Beyond Meat but I wouldn’t be surprised if it is.

Beyond Meat, at least the pork and beef, are supposed to be soy, gluten, and everything else free. I have no interest personally because I like real food from farms not laboratories but it might be a solution for some.

Other than the fact, KFC is 90% fact, the original KFC recipe has disappeared decades ago. You can get the same stuff at many supermarkets, not saying it's healthy. but it's half the price. The Colonel was paid 1 million dollars to shut up about the crap KFC now serves. I won't go there.

The Biden administration can be subjected to two empirical tests by any observer: first whether there will there be a new outbreak of war in the Middle East/North Africa (MENA) owing to the repudiation of the Abraham Accords and second, will it endorse restrictions on the exercise of the First and Second Amendments? We can leave aside for a moment the question of whether these possible developments are justified or beneficial. All that need concern the analyst for the moment is whether they can be detected. They most probably can because their signal characteristics are strong enough to burn through any spin.
Mike Rowe: Everyone Is Essential 9 replies

Politicians have too much power over our lives. Many used the pandemic as another excuse to take more. Early on, politicians declared that they would decide who was “essential.” Everyone else was told to stay home. Much of the economy stopped. Millions were laid off. Then politicians relaxed the rules for industries that they deemed “essential.” “You can’t just call somebody essential without implicitly suggesting that half the workforce is not essential,” points out Mike Rowe, host of the surprise hit TV series, “Dirty Jobs.” That’s a big problem, says Rowe, because people find purpose in work. Now the Biden administration is eager to give money to people not working. It’s pushing

Last Thursday, as the House of Representatives debated H.R. 5, the Orwellian “Equality Act,” a seemingly exasperated Rep. Jerry Nadler (D-N.Y.) arguably revealed the true nature of his party’s radical legislation. In response to Rep. Greg Steube’s (R-Fla.) speech quoting the Bible, Nadler declared that “what any religious tradition describes as God’s will is no concern of this Congress.” The Equality Act would enshrine the concept of “gender identity” into federal civil rights law, mandating that Americans kowtow to biologically false transgender identities. Steube quoted the Bible to express the fact that millions of Americans

I’m probably second to none in my dislike for Meghan Markle. There’s something unattractive about a mature woman marrying into the British Royal family with one of the world’s most expensive weddings, hanging out with the Queen, living in insane luxury…and then whining non-stop about the horror of her life. There’s something even less appealing when that woman accuses the Royal family of race hatred. And the problem is that, when it comes to that left-wing diva, Meghan Markle, it’s hard to believe most of what she says. After weeks of hype, CBS finally televised Meghan Markle and Prince Harry’s interview with Oprah.
