    Congratulations to KFC for sharing and putting a smile on so many young faces at Christmas time!

    As a teen I worked in a KFC restaurant and developed a taste for the product. The first day I ate too much and made myself sick. Anyway …

    It is still a big favorite with kids, in fact with people of all ages in my country.

    Sincerely, Rev. Donald Hill.

    Brilliant marketing. It’s also called get them while they’re young and get them hooked on your really unhealthy product which later in life causes them to have increased high blood pressure, diabetes and obesity. Let them eat locally grown and seasonal food they plant and grow themselves and stop introducing unhealthy food laden with nasty fats.
