Great.

Can we have an argument about whether fast food causes obesity and should not be encouraged or whether people should themselves decide whether they are going to be a burden on a country's health services through sheer gluttony?

People are obese because they don't move enough, it has nothing to do with fast food. Discuss.

I really appreciate the level of motivation our mods show lately, but KFC coming to CH is news, not something to add on to 17 pages of drivel on KFC runs...

This is a fallacy put out by junk food companies, the fact is not eating a chocolate bar is far more efficient than having to walk a couple of KM to burn it off.
You're better off moderating your intake of high calorific foods because you can't out-exercise a bad diet.

My kids will be happy, they were freaking out when they were tucking in at the Dubai Mall over New Year!! More impressed with that than the Khalifa....

Its coming, fine. When though?

Is the doughnut place still open in Basel? KFC will open, everyone will be excited, EF and newspapers will be full of photos of stupid people queueing up to buy a bucket of chicken, and then within a few months it'll just be full of spotty, unfit looking, smoking Swiss youth. Like BK and McDonalds.

I had the same dilemma this morning.
It would have been too much honour for LiB

I'd hardly call it news. Only a very few people will be even vaguely interested in it.

My kids have no idea what KFC is.

I will take them there though if one opens nearby. Food experiences should cover all bases.

Yeah, when it comes to the Swiss population in general. When it comes to the EF user base is it indeed news.


My problem is that I prefer Carl's jr over KFC...

Who?

So, no real chicken then, just 'chicken tenders' and 'chicken stars'

I'll stick with 'Pouletburg', thanks.

Never had chicken there... usually went for a 1/2 pounder.

..of course you can, I've done it plenty of times; also, eating fast food is not necessarily a bad habit, not exercising clearly is.

What does KFC offer for vegetarians?

Oh, there's plenty. Corn on the cob, ice cream, napkins, various sodas and in some select countries they also have cornbread and mashed potatoes.

Of course, now I remember, in Washington DC they served mashed potato with gravy as part of my colleagues meal...he gave it to me, it was disgusting.
