 The Kentucky Fried Chicken Corporation has something to crow about. They've just launched a brand new website in honor of founder Colonel Harland Sanders, and they're inviting his devoted fans to share their stories and memories of the man behind the brand. “Sanders had an impact on people. They remember that interaction when they met him,” says Rick Maynard, public relations manager of the KFC Corporation. The idea to start ColonelSanders.com came from a meeting with franchisees who have been with the company for many years. “One day they were all telling these amazing stories of the Colonel. Our goal is to capture the stories before they’re forgotten, “says Maynard. “We just don’t want people to forget the Colonel and the very large figure that he was,” Topmiller says. “He was a man of confidence, and he lived his life with hard work and perseverance. He believed in following your dreams. He always said a dream is just a suggestion to you to get up and do something about it.” Sanders was awarded an honorary colonel degree from the state of Kentucky in the 1930s for his charitable work, Topmiller says. There was an orphanage near Corbin, the town where he started his first restaurant. The colonel made homemade ice cream for the children there every Sunday. The site contains quotes and old videos of the colonel working in the kitchen and speaking about his life’s work. In one video, Sanders preaches the value of hard work and shares his philosophy. “Have ambition to work, willingness to work, and integrity in what you do.” That mantra elevated the colonel from his humble background as a man with a $105 Social Security check and a chicken recipe to the owner of a successful worldwide business. The website allows people to submit photos and videos along with their text-based stories. Many of the memories are testaments to the Colonel’s generosity and character, rather than the man with the secret fried chicken recipe - which Topmiller claims is locked up in a vault at KFC Headquarters. One fan wrotes, “In 1973 it was everyone for themselves when boarding planes. My mother, carrying a half-year-old me, was struggling across the tarmac when the Colonel noticed her. He insisted on helping her onto the plane, carrying my diaper bag and making me smile. My mother was always amazed that this important man, followed by bodyguards, took the time to carry a diaper bag!” Another Sanders devotee shared, “When I was a grade school student in Louisville, Ky., the Colonel would stop by the school and gives us butterscotch candy from the pocket of his white jacket. I remember him doing this two or three times and as a 10 year old, I really did not have an appreciation for what was happening at that moment.” One man recorded a video testimony to Sanders’ charitable nature. “We picked this kid up, and the Colonel found out he worked in a restaurant and was going to this little college, so we picked him up and took him to the college. The kid said, ‘Well, you can let me right on out here, and I can walk on back to my dorm.’ The Colonel said, ‘No, I know somebody up there in this office, and I want to talk to him.’ So we went up there, and the Colonel gave him a full scholarship right there on the spot.” Visitors to the website are greeted by a minute and a half video introduction to the Colonel’s life and legacy. The KFC Corporation expects that people associate the Colonel with the brand of KFC, which could help sales, but that’s not the aim. Maynard says the website is first and foremost about capturing special moments with the Colonel and points out that the website does not even provide a link to KFC. When the website launched, nearly sixty people submitted stories and more submissions continue to roll in. Maynard says for now the plan is to maintain and keep up the site well into the future. Eventually, the collection may be turned into a book. When asked what the Colonel would think about the website, Topmiller says, “He would love it. He was always interested in all things new and progression.” One of the Colonel’s quotes featured prominently on the website suggests that perhaps he will be satisfied with his place in history, “People will rust out quicker’n they’ll ever wear out, and I’ll be darned if I’ll ever rust out.” |

I had the pleasure of meeting Colonel Sanders in the early 1970's. He was a personal friend of another restaurant owner in a little town on Lake Erie called Port Clinton,Ohio. In the summer Mr. Sanders sometimes stopped into visit his friend and owner of the business, Bob Underwood, at Underwood's Fine Foods. I worked at Underwood's Restaurant as a waitress and was introduced to Mr. Sanders. He shook my hand, smiled and began telling a story that I wish I could recall all these years later. He was a very polite gentleman and looked just like his T.V. commercials wearing his white southern style suit and string style bow tie. I just wanted to share this experience with you all.
I often eat KFC... have personally loved their stuff, but I keep coming across stories of people who have had really bad experiences with the company. There are some really funny vents about it here.
If god didn't want us to eat chicken why didn't he teach them to fly? I don't see many Long Island Fried Seagull stores popping up!
Last time I saw Colonel Sanders..he was in a corner chokin' his chicken......He's Everywhere,He's everywhere.
Vegatarian...Isn"t that Latin for can"t hunt hunt worth a damn?
he'd roll over in his grave if he saw the factory farms and joke of a chicken "meat" sold today at his chain
I've been to the Col's orginal resturant in CORBIN KY in what WAS a dry County many years ago...............nice!
@ Truth LOL
My, My, why all the hate here? It is a meal choice folks! If you don't want chicken, then have a freakin salad.
I swear, some of you people need to get l@!d more...
How do you know he's a hillbilly (white) ? Dumbass!
I'm going to prescribe just a little more chlorine to take care of your gene pool.
I think it was the character of Stuart Mackenzie from "So I married an Axe Murderer" who summed up the Colonel the ebst:
" Oh I hated the Colonel, with his wee beady eyes and that smug look on his face. 'Oh you're gonna buy my chicken!"
And when asked how he can hate the Colonel he responds:
"Because he puts an addictive chemical in his chicken that makes ya crave it fortnightly, smartass!"
And that my friends, is the Colonel in a nutshell.
@BATES LMAO, HEAD! move, lugging that gargantuam cranium about- oh what? he's going to cry into his great big pilla. LOL- yeah its not exact quote, its been years, so thanks for the laugh.
Charlie! light a match!
so off the topic and I do not even care. Happy Friday!
Jack C. Massey made KFC into what it is today. Sanders became a mascot for the business after Massey turned his back road chicken shack into the fast food chain we all recognize.
Wikipedia: "Jack C. Massey"
In 1964, "he (Massey) bought Kentucky Fried Chicken from its founder, Harland Sanders, for $2 million. Seven years later he sold it for $239 million"
Before anyone argues $239 million is a drop in the bucket (?) compared to what the company is worth today, KFC still operates on the model Massey implemented. And, after selling KFC, Massey founded Mrs. Winner's and took Wendy's to the NYSE. This is all after founding Hospital Corporation of America, the largest for-profit hospital chain in the U.S.
hi i used the email of my friend im assaad abou mekhael from lebanon i have place here we want to make restaurant kfc I want to make deal with u. what is the kfc rules and how i make it here by ur compony. and how we connect you. coz ur food was so delicious all people like every where. so can u help me how i make it please. thank you for ur cosideration im waiting to ur responds
Deuteronomy 8:15-17
He led you through the vast and dreadful desert, that thirsty and waterless land, with its venomous snakes and scorpions. He brought you water out of hard rock. He gave you KFC to eat in the desert, something your fathers had never known, to humble and to test you so that in the end you might open your own franchised location. You may say to yourself, "My power and the strength of my hands have produced this wealth for me through the powers of fried chicken."
The Colonel may be real but his legacy has and is still destroying American's eating habits and their health. I ate at a KFC this past weekend after 3 long years and had to come home and detox myself. Not to mention a lousy service from dunderheads who work there.
Honk if you want to see my middle finger.
Actually the Colonel was screwed over because no one explained to him what a "stock" was when he sold the business. So he gave them away. He hated the fact that he sold the restaurant and hated all the new items they tried to put on the menu claiming it was "The Colonel's New Recipe."
Boom...finally found the mural for my kitchen. I can't go wrong with the colonel overlooking all my mantastic recipes. As for the Alliance against the mass slaughtering of chickens, please keep up the good fight. While the world battles poverty, hunger, and a diminishing ecosystem, it takes a true doucher to take on fried chicken.
Gotta agree with TopVillian- that was pretty rank
After reading the majority of these comments I am shocked at the amount of people that can read about this man and say such ignorant nasty remarks about his character because he mass produced chicken products. Are we serious people? I highly doubt that 100 years ago when we were slaughtering chickens by hand it was FAR more inhumane then the way it happens in slaughterhouses now, quick and painless. Oh and that thing called food, yea we need that to survive, and has anyone noticed how many people are on this earth? yea, a lot, hence why we need slaughterhouses to keep up. Im thinking this world wouldnt survive on salads and the occasional animal that, to appease the masses must be killed with kindness...smh. I digress. Colonel you were an amazing man of superior character, may your legend live on. Oh and by the way your chicken is delicious!
Don't forget about Dave Thomas' contribution to the entire KFC business. Yes, before founding Wendy's, Dave Thomas was instrumental in taking KFC to main-street America and made the high school dropout a millionaire.
a kind man and a good business man I was told or something like that.
Here is a prescription for some anti-ambiguity pills.
He was a really good father or something like that wasn't he? A family man?
CNN: your list of possible answers is quite droll. Now I see why there is so much cynicism on your blogs.
I suggest that you smile, it's the second best thing you can do with your lips.
The owner of locals KFCs went to my grade school...and had the Colonel come in 1971 to address our class. I asked him for his autograph and he pulled out a small photo and signed it for me. He was exactly as you see, a pleasant old southern gentleman...I still have the photo.
How can you tell you are talking to a vegan?
Oh, don't worry, they will tell you. Repeatedly.
@wakka wakka (wakka) LMAO, so true!
And projects everywhere are having a celebration in honor of him as well...
Great comment and Little Nicky reference! You know good chicken when you come across it.
I remember my aunt, who lived in Corbin, Kentucky, telling me she was a telephone operator. She spoke with the Colonel many times on the phone and she said he was always a rude person! I suppose nobody is perfect.
I prefer Popeyes.
Bojangles!
Yes, Popeyes is the best. I love it because it's crispier. Also, Popeye's spicy chicken is good.
Q. Why did the chicken cross the road?
A. To get the #### away from Colonel Sanders!
Ever notice that many people who "love" animals, hate a lot of people? Sorry, but we're at the top of the food chain; deal with it.
I thought the world's first KFC was actually in Salt Lake City, UT (Believe it or not)? I ate there and there was a sign outside touting such.
I am so old that I remember when the colonel used to actually be in the commercials!!!
Colonel Sanders was a gentleman and a nobleman of honor. Very glad his memory is honored in such a way. Thank you-Merci Colonel Sanders for what you have accomplished.
It is interesting, that his compassion for humans was good, but his compassion for animals was nearly nonexistant (specifically referring to chickens.) How does this happen? As near as I can figure, it happens when people refuse to acknowlege that animals feel. This denial of feelings is similar to the de-humanization process that allows for wars (after all, how can you kill someone who is just like you?) If you can dehumanize the enemy (the desired target), you can proceed to do things that are horrible. The abuses of KFC and its suppliers are legendary. Don't let the kind of this man, let you forget the cruel deeds of him as well.
Oh good gosh, believe what you want and leave those of us that eat meat alone. ...or head to DC with the other narrow minded idiots that think only "their way" and "their beliefs" are right.
Ring their necks real fast, they don't feel a thing!
Are you serious? de-humanization? Really? You do realize we are talking about chickens right? And it's not like he was gouging out their eyes or hooking up electrodes to their nipples or anything! Obviously you have never seen how farm fresh chickens are slaughtered. Even in the wild they are sometimes "toyed with" until dead.
Nipples? Exactly how does one milk a chicken. Because, as we all learned from Meet the Parents "you can milk anything with nipples"
What's an "honorary colonel" degree? I thought it was a military rank that someone could also be referred to after service? Does DeVry have a program?
There are two things going on here:
1. KFC makes great chicken. It may not be healthy for us or for the chickens, but all their varieties sure are tasty.
2. Harland Sanders was not a humanitarian. He was a marketing genius who started with a chicken stand by the side of the road and developed it into a successful fast food empire. He did it by bullying & threatening his franchisers & employees into following his, and only his, rules of quality. His humanitarian efforts were a merely ploy to offset his cane-wielding, authoritarian style of business management. It worked. No argument. A saint? A humanitarian?
Hardly.
You are depriving some poor village of its idiot.
"colonel" is a rank, not a degree. A state cannot confer a "colonel degree." There's no such thing. The writer might need to check his or her sources.
Please, check yourself never miss a good chance to shut up.
And the good man is whirling in his grave if he knew what trash they serve at KFC now. Total greasy garbage. No seasoning. No 11 herbs and spices, not even a good dash of MSG ! . Totally tasteless. Who ever is running the show either ran Dominos too or not enough people remember what KFC used to be. Never again will I waste a dime on their meal.
to me, kfc chicken do not taste the same way now that it used to taste a long time ago.i think that they changed at least one of the ingredients.
Doesn't he look as if he might have a little asian blood in him
Wow. This guy looks just like the KFC logo. Great work, make-up guys! Amazing likeness.
LOL!
My grandma always told me that my great-great-grandma sold the receipe to him when he was first starting out. I dunno if thats true or not but she was from London which is next to corbin.
Dave Thomas created the brand.
Now if only KFC could come to grips and accept the fact Colonel Sanders made FRIED chicken, and KFC still does today.
What a lot of you don't realize is the Colonel was cross eyed which made him a better business man. You couldn't tell whether he was coming or going.
If God Didnt weant us to eat all these animals, he wouldnt have filled them chock full of such tasty meat!!!
He looks like a rooster.
Don't you mess with him. Don't you EVER mess with him!
I am going to open watermelon stands right next to all KFC restaurants in the US. Talk about a marketing genius! I will make a killing.
Yeah...your mother will like that....
You know what? Your kid may be an honors student, but you're still an idiot.
What's the matter Colonel Sanders...chicken?
I wonder if there's a website devoted to General Tso's and his contribution to society with his yummy chicken recipe.
My wife's family is from Kentucky and her aunt knew Mr. Sander's family well. According to my wife's aunt, the Colonel was meaner than a junk yard dog. Yes, he did some nice things for people from time to time, but if you crossed him your *** was grass.
Other than marketing, there's not a whole lot that is special about KFC. Now, if you want real chicken, there is a chain of restaurants that was started in Georgia. All of the stores are clean, well kept, and manned by professionals who care about customers. Most of all, the chicken really is good. Most of you will know of which chain I write.
I like the Kentucky Fried Chicken I remember as a kid. A 3 piece chicken meal DIDN'T cost $10 and it wasn't greasy.
Hey, health idiots....get a life. This guy is a giant among Americans. He had already lived a full productive life and was poised to sit back and live off of social security like his peers when he created the K "FRIED" C empire. No better way in the world to enjoy chicken. Take a bucket of original recipe to any potluck and I bet you a million to one the first thing to be emptied will be that bucket.
I guarantee you the Col's in heaven. No way God would deny himself from that fine fried chicken.
The AirForce has a KFC in Kandahar, Afghanistan, I on the other hand am a US Marine eating meals ready to eat and crap from some French company. Should have joined the AirForce because the KFC was awesome the one time I got to eat it.
Colonel Sanders is actually buried right next to my Great Grandparents at the Cave Hill cemetery in Louisville, Ky.
DILLIGARA
This article fails to mention that the good old Colonel sold his stake in KFC to investors long ago. For most of his tenure he was a paid PR man. He was a hands on kind of guy who wasn't afraid to step into franchisees kitchens, he visited tirelessly year round, and flip a few chicken breasts. The rumor is he wasn't paid what his share in the company was really worth. He had a little of that naive country soul in him which made him so likeable to many, but probably robbed him of becoming a seriously wealthy man.
Yep, let's celebrate the guy who serves fatty over salted food to millions.
That overly fatty and salty food is what those millions wanted.
Sure, and artificial Intelligence usually beats real stupidity, Steveo.
11 original herbs and spices... o-0 since when was salt, flour, water and msg an herb or a spice?? OMG did I just divulge the recipee safe gaurded by a mythilogical vault that doesn't exist??? LMAO Give me a break, it's fast food, and it was never any better than it is today. Just like taco bell, just like Mcdonald's. It was never about quality, it was quantity and cost cutting, to maximize price. To those who claim otherwise I ask... don't we always tend to look back on the past with rose colored sun glasses? Was Nixon really any better than Obama? Not really, it sucked then, it sucks now, but it keeps us alive. On a non-related note, out of morbid curiousity, has anybody tried FFC? That's Flava Flav's new chain. He cooks there himself...I wonder if he will rap on request?
Aw com'on fellas, this is about the spirit of an unusually generous man. Even in the lap of success, he didn't
lose the core of his giving nature. I've had good chicken, I've had overly greasy chicken (from KFC), it wasn't
by his hand; more so from badly run franchises. Again, this kind of man simply worked hard, never feeling
entitled to life making it easy for him. I'm getting up tomorrow and getting back to the "coal mine." I'll take
inspiration any where I find it.
I completely agree. It's still amazing now after all these years/corporate bs. What I wouldn't give to have had chicken cooked by the man himself in his prime....
Being from KY the stories were not much on the saint side, especially people he stepped on or owed money on the way to success. He was a business man and not as good at it as it may sound. KFC needs nostalgia to boost their product sales, that's all. Sad, I am not even that cynical but please....
Oh God. You probably believe Ronald Reagan was a saint, too.
Best article that CNN has had in a while.
I think the world would be a much better place if more people would accept The Colonel into their hearts as our lord and savior. Biting into one of those hot, fresh, juicy thighs is a true mouthgasim/religious experience....all hail The Colonel!!!
Am I the only one who finds it a little creepy that the Mister Sanders picks up a random college guy and then gives him a full scholarship after refusing to drop him off in the spot he asked to be let out...? Just sayin
Well so far you are the only one perverted enough to think along those lines. Don't cast your closet issues upon everyone else. Jus sayin'
Yea, Col Sanders was a real person just like Beau Jangles and Popeye . . . and they all made great fried chicken!
VAGitarian for life!
It's "vaginatarian" doofus. If you're gonna eat it, learn the right word to use.
Hope it doesn't taste like chicken...
@ Lee if it did, the only homos would be vegans. LMS8AO!
Thank you for this article. Went to the site and couldn't stop laughing. Immediately launches a video of the Colonel walking with a cane and cooking chicken. A LITTLE overdramatized or over the top?
Nope. The man took an original idea and ran with it. Created a unique character/persona to endorse a superior product and never looked back.
I grew up on Kentucky Fried Chicken commercials featuring the Colonel. He did a lot of commericals (like Dave did for Wendy's).
I always understood that he was a bigot, an anti-semite and often violent towards his workers. Why consider him a saint?
LOL – I just looked at the posts on the site to see if any of the stories were like the ones I know about him – nope! Perhaps it was in his later years, but he was violent with his workers – especially women. It will be interesting to watch the site to see if those stories ever see the light of day! On another note, if you ever get the chance to go to Claudia Sanders Dinner House (also called "the Colonel's Lady") you should go. Good food!
who is the real man or women behind Starbucks ??!
Wasn't it that guy on Battlestar Galactica?
Hahahahahahahaha!
He did not steal it from slaves, you stupid ass........know what you are talking about before you shoot your pie hole off.
I went to Egypt a few years ago...while standing there looking at the spins, the tour guy tells me to turn around....a KFC in Egypt......
He has a big fat asian looking face.
Clark AFB, Philippines, 1968. Outside the gate in a dirty little bar town, on a dirt street, off the main road, Yep, a bucket in the sky...
Salty batter, that is all KFC is anymore. They stopped being good 20 years ago.
lol @KFC Fan from NC.
Wow I wish I could be a bit like the Colonel. Not the success part, but he did so much good in his life. If there was a heaven, he'd probably be there now.
In heaven, the chickens rule, and they deep-fry humans for their fast food.
You mean that happens in your head while on LSD?
There's a little bit of colander showing thru your tin foil.
Is this the god that blacks worship on sundays?
Even Obama has a mini KFC in the white house kitchen.
Are you kidding with that comment??? It's okay though, because you probably have black friends right?
Its ok Melle, we have a black president.
Here comes the Rooster <~ yes we do have a black president... worked out so well huh? lol.. we can sum you and the president up to a FAIL
Wow. What an amazingly racist and stupid comment to make. I hope your sterile and banned from spending any time with children. Those attitudes need to be left behind as we all move forward together. May you open your mind and see the wonderful world around you. Or may you develop a painful stomach cancer and die.
Nice sentiment. far left whackos like you chant peace, love and harmony with nature and such...but disagree with you and you wish death and disease on your fellow man. Very peace loving of you. You are childish and deserve our sympathy. By the way, I don't eat KFC because it is unhealthy...but it sure is good.
Yeah, join in the love fest or die, what a lovely, liberal sentiment. And you guys call the other side Nazis. You just wished half the country die. How tolerant!
Liberals demand tolerance but have none.
while i may not like what you say its your right to say it. Dickhead
What's amazing is that some people can take a feel good fluff story as an opportunity to display their bigotry.
And your point is ...?
Well Chris I am sure some of the agnostics/athiests in the room would tell you that if the black community did worship KFC on Sunday that at the very least they were worshipping something real LOL
This is a KFC thread NOT AN OBAMA / RELIGIOUS / ABORTION / DEBT CEILING THREAD.
Get over dude a black guy is president.
Religion has been here for how long? oh yeah its been here since the creation of mankind.. but your the smartest person in the world.. you dont believe in god and make it a fact... wow you out smarted everybody in history that believed in god... or your an idiot LOL... enjoy the dark empty room you lay in when you die
He stole the recipe from slaves I bet they won't mention that part
ssshhh. Al Sharpton is probably reading this and looking at the opps to make money....
There weren't too many slaves around in the 1930s and '40s when he was developing the recipe. Have you ever even seen a history book?
Try knowing what you are talking about before you write. Read some real history books. Get a copy of "Slavery By Another Name."
If all one had to do is steal a recipe, and boom, there's a worldwide franchise with your name on it, then why didn't you do it yourself instead of writing this nonsense?
98% of your major corporations took liberties with someone else's idea. 99% of them made someone else's idea better. 100% of them had the ballz it takes to put their neck on the line to make those idea's work when the other's with the ideas were too scared of their own shadow to do so.
And 94% of statistics are either entirely made up or used without proper context or comparison
celebrate the life of a pioneer in the mass killing of animals for fast food.. yeah right..
Very well put :)
Next up on the menu is your cat
Getting support on your comment from an obvious crazy cat lady is like having Sarah Palin as your running mate.......
Can you please take another sip of "shut the fück up?".
You just made me smile.
For the other person who commented.... go eat some grass and let us please eat what we want in peace :-).
Thanks!
HA! Couldn't have said it better myself. Hey people, you don't support mass murder, go hunt and kill your own dang dinner and stfu!
All that mass murder...mmm mm mmmmmm. Finger licking good!
Yeah, treat kids well, then treat animals like garbage... that is a true American hero. Maybe he, and others like him, can be reincarnated into the animals that he and his companies and suppliers abused.
Think I'll pick up some original recipe mass murder ont he way home. Lifetime member of People Eatting Tasty Animals. All of you vegans and vegetarians can go stuff yourselves. Vegetation is what is fed to food to make it tasty!
Joe blow it out your ...well you know. KFC is the best chicken available on the market
You're a moron.
Joe – go blow..... why don't you go stand outside auto companies and demanding better norms for pollution, instead your probably one of those people who has to go after something like this to compensate for the lack of a penis.
get lost.
I like KFC, its seen me through grad school
Yeah, keep eating that KFC, and all the other manly meat, and when your arteries jam (you heart, your brain, and your d$#^) and you need viagra then you can tell yourself that you are a real man. Meanwhile, we vegetarians will be f*&^ing your girlfriend or wife, while you are waiting for your mail order Viagra to arrive.
That last comment is for you, Fontleroy.
Lame....that attitude is soooo last century Al Gore-ish. You must be old.
*Yawn* My carnivore husband could kick your smelly tree hugging azz with both hands tied behind his back
Well I preffer my food dead and cooked properly. You ever eat a live chicken? I thought not . . . it is food . . . wadda ya think?
go away to vegetarian idiot
Vegetarian idiot.... hugh? When you eat the hormones and antibiotics that the meat industry has for you, and your d#$@ won't work because you have clogged up your arteries, remember, it is we, the vegetarians who will look 20 years younger and will be f$%$ing your wife. You'll be ordering nitro gliceryn, taking viagra, and waiting for your next chemotherpy appointment. Have some more meat, it'll make you a real man.
Soooo... Mass murder of animals huh? I take it you are at least a vegetarian, if not a full on vegan. So let me pose a few facts for you to ruminate on...
Vegetables are grown on lands that have been carved out of the wilderness. A wilderness that once supported wilds animals in plenty. Now the lands that supported those animals have been cleared of them in favor of feeding people. So even by eating vegetarian, unless you grow your own food and let the animals eat it when they get hungry, you are still supporting the murder and displacement of countless animals. No two ways about it, You support the murder of animals by just eating.
Interesting logic. That would mean that you would know about how many animals roamed a particular piece of property, before humans arrived. So, it sound like some assuming going on there. Also, if one buys your arguement, is that to say that animals have not place to go when a farm arises? That would be to say that farms exist, animals, cannot exist concurrently in the wild? This sounds suspiciously convienient for you. Lastly, you are sure that people farming vegetables and consuming them, is the equivalent of factory concentration camps for animals? So square foot, for square foot, looking at a vegetable patch vs a room full of cages with cramped in animals in cages, both would create an equal amount of carnage for the animals? Your arguement deseves only credit for you having a wild imagination. With comparable square footage, no vegetabe patch could ever equal the amount of animials killed with a room full of cramped cages of miserable animal victims. Try you arguement on non college graduates, you might acturally be able to convince them of your illogical arguments.
@Musicdorian...why are you so obsessed with *&^%$# other people's wives? are you a sadist? or do you have to fantasize about being with other people's wives because you can't get a wife of your own? or just because you can't get anyone else to sleep with you? HMMMM someone's got issues.....
You cannot apply facts in a argument with a liberal, it makes them mad, when they cannot keep up, they get a migraine, like a woman, call you a racist and close the topic to discussion.
Haters gonna hate.
And that is why I'm a VAGItarian! xD
What a fun person you must be to hang around.
Wow. People have been breeding, raising, killing and eating animals for tens of thousands of years. It's called being at the top of the food chain. Would you rather have a natural predator and be in fear that some other animal would eat you? Be happy humans are where they are. Humans are meant to eat meat, otherwise we would have differently shaped teeth.
I case you don't know, our molar are flat, for grinding up vegetables. Our canines are wimpy, and can only minimally be compared to a dog of cat cannine teeth. Our PH, in regard to other carnivores is very weak. Lastly, our intestinal track is long, like any other vegetarian. Carnivores have a more aceic stomach PH, and a shorter intestinal track. Ponder these things before you make your next post.
Mmmmm chicken!
Forget about the killing, that's the good part. How about the mass production of chickens under conditions that can only be described as torturous? Look into it and you'll never eat chicken again. Guaranteed. Sorry fans, but that's the truth.
Don't listen to this guy. He has no idea about the new regulations and the advancements in the chicken rearing industry. I work for one of the largest producers of poultry raising equipment in the world. Our sales are skyrocketing because of the new industry standards to allow for more humane methods of raising chickens for both eggs and meat. Unless you actually have been in a modern chicken farm, you have no idea what you are talking about. For others, feel confident that our government and our farmers are making necessary strides to improve the wellbeing of our livestock. A lot of science goes into making the chickens "happy". A happy chicken is a lot more productive than an abused, stressed chicken.
It's just a fricken' chicken...
fricaseein' frickin' chicken
Remember people, these "vegans", and "plant eaters" are nothing more than grain fed livestock when the Liberals finish off killing this country. "I say Vegan, you say go meant!".
mass killing of animals for food far pre-dates colonel sanders
You are kidding, right? Did you kill your vegetable yet today?
I could honestly care less about how they are destroyed. Sissies like you are the damnation of this country. Do you think in the middle of africa where the entire nation is starving they would cry as you are now after seeing the chickens destroyed and offered as food? Perhaps they would be very happy regardless of how they were destroyed because they aren't coddled spoon fed ungrateful sissies like the rest of you. Get over it. I've seen how it is done and the few times a year I eat KFC I don't even think about it.
Good words Tank. I agree 100%.
Yes, but he did it in a very Delicious way.
Really? That's the best you take out of this?
Shut up hippie.. go hug a tree
Well duh! KFC stands for Killed For Cooking.
i do!
Worthy of celebrating for that too – it's good eatin'
YOU ARE A DAMN FOOL...i KNEW THE MAN ALL MY LIFE WAS A GOOD FRIEND WITH MY GRANDFATHER, WAS A GREAT MAN. GOD REST HIS SOUL
Everyone should know Colonel Sanders was a real person.
I was unaware we had people out there that didn't know this and that makes me sad, seeing as he has his face plastered to so many chicken buckets, it's not like Santa Claus where the white old guy with a beard is made up.
I knew he was real but didnt know he was as cool as he was!
"I knew he was real but didnt know he was as cool as he was!"
Marketers drool over gullible people like you. You bought this one tale hook line and sinker.
Right. And it's not like they could have just gotten a picture from anywhere....
Why is it integral for people in our society to know that the person on some of the unhealthiest chicken peddled is real or not? Methinks you need to re-evaluate your priorities of importance.
The only thing that is really unhealthy is not eating. You miss the entire point.
I bet they don't reveal anything about his early life as the town drunk of Henryville, Indiana where he was born and raised. And that he stole the recipe from his African American cook.
I've been to Henryville,IN many times...No wonder he was drinking. Probably hanging out at the Pyke Funeral Home.:))
That's right ! And Edison stole the light bulb from a black man, too. Don't forget the black man who worked at the wright brothers bicycle shop and solved the problem with the rudder and directional control at low airspeeds. Dat right ! We do ...Chicken Wright.
Isn't that the American dream? To pick yourself up from whence you came, and become a better person. You may be the only one who knows about the African American recipe, but does it really matter? His compassion, generosity, and creative marketing are all a huge part of this persona.
WHAT?!?!?!? Santas NOT REAL?!?!?!? *runs away screaming*
Mother has a lot of explaining to do....
Soooo....Is Ronald McDonald real? He's plastered all over the place too. hmmm
I remember I lived in Philadelphia and every summer went to my grandparents farm in Kentucky this is my dads parents and we stopped off in a Kentucky Fried Chicken in a small town in Kentucky and we are a family of 8 and all us kids were really hungry so we went in and ordered and sat down to eat and out comes from the back was Colonel Sanders and came over to chat with us and asked how we were doing and did we like the chicken and we were all stuffing our faces as we were so hungry but we said yes my dad loved this place and the Colonel smiled and thanked us for eating there and gave us all free drinks.
Ok Well After reading this i am shocked so many people didn't think C Sanders wasn't real.... I have never questioned it cause I am related to him, As a Distant Cousin, I was born in Louisville Ky. And he is a legand there.... Best chicken on the plant......:)
