Food Politics

Gross. Although I can’t say the refined white flour bread or measly iceberg lettuce on most sandwiches really adds much.

I’m afraid people on the Atkins are going to say Hallelujah! and go chomp on 2 of these and then chase it down with a sugarless coke and pat themselves on the back. I can’t even imagine this tasting good even if I did like junk food!

p.s. can’t leave comments in Chrome!

I think the thing I’ve been enjoying most about this new sandwich is the fact that it’s so much better, calorie and fat-wise, than many fastfood offerings. People expect it to be worse because of the chicken, but… no.

Honestly, I can’t get over the fact that people still believe and eat such crap!

Chicken Cordon Bleu, to go, for everyone!

I saw an ad for this “sandwich” last night! The horror, the horror.

If my math is right, that’s more than 50% of calories from fat for the fried one…

It’s still not as much as a McDonald’s double quarter pounder with cheese.

Calories:740
Calories from fat: 380
Total fat: 42g
Saturated Fat: 19g
Trans fat: 2.5g

Are you sure about the calories, Marion? It doesn’t seem possible that TWO slices of cheese, TWO slices of bacon, PLUS two pieces of FRIED chicken could be so few calories? I could almost allow one of these if I take an extra water pill to flush out the salt!

In spite of being a confirmed “health nut”, I find that this thing looks absolutely mouth-watering. It’s everything that is forbidden. Yes, yes, I do think it’s gross, but it brings out oddly conflicting emotions for me.

I also am skeptical about the accuracy of the calorie count. However, the fat grams and sodium make this look quite unattractive. And, of course, I am sure some fool will need to eat this as a “meal” with a jumbo order of fries and a jumbo soda.

I too can’t believe the caloric count. It just doesn’t seem possible. I want to know who fidge it.

You have to look past the calories, the fat and the sodium. Yes, these are bad for you, but what no one addresses are the physically addictive chemicals they put in.

Fast food would taste like **** without these chemicals, and they don’t have to put them on the ingredients list.

Having a hard time believing the calorie count too. Also agree that many are overlooking the fact of the quality of the food. Factory hormone, ammonia laden chicken, processed pseudo cheese and factory hormone laden bacon. Also as Stan said, laden with physically addictive chemicals. Perfect ingredients for disease.

I believe it was the Guardian that reported an independent calorie analysis of over 1200 calories. Seems more likely to me.

hah, even if it were that many Calories, very few people would need to consume that many Calories in one sitting.

It is an obese chicken sandwich made from an obese chicken to make you obese and eat more food. It is a win-win situation until you have your first heart attack or are diagnosed with Type 2 diabetes but who cares then? You do but not KFC.

It seems a nutrition facts info per bite not per sandwich…

better a bit less then a bit more…

i saw today a guy what took 10.000 calories a day… omg
