Kentucky Fried Chicken closing in my town!!!
My town/county of 30,000 is becoming a ghost town! The latest fast food restaurant to go is KFC! Before that, our Wendy's and our Fazoli's closed in the last 2 years! Most of our local restaurants are gone as well! I'm afraid we won't have anything left but McDonald's and Taco Bell!:(

But it's good for you! Fast food is very, very bad. What's the name of that book? Fast Food Nation? If you want to continue to eat fast food: don't read it!

Anyway, I heard the owner or whatever of KFC donates to Repukes, so :)

Edit: no, that's not it... they buy chickens from horrible living conditions in India - that's what I had heard recently about them.

4. Hopefully every fast food franchise in the country will soon fold
First TV, then chain restaurants. Dumbing down America and keeping us...well... I don't know, but it's bad, anyway.

6. LOL I know it's not good for you!
It's just that it has been such a longstanding icon around here that it says something about the state of my town I've lived in since I was 5. I really liked the gravy and mashed potatoes and green beans!!! lol

10. The reason you like them so much is because they put.........
those chemicals in their (your) food, chemicals from those plants in New Jersey if you get my drift.
