- Jadey, on 07/07/2008, -5/+62Everything tastes like chicken anyway...
- whysteriastar, on 07/07/2008, -7/+60Does anyone else find this insane?
I understand that they didn't want the chickens tortured, but come on people. What vegetarian, particularly of the crazy PETA sect, will be dropping by to eat at KFC? And if they do, won't they still be supporting a company with questionable ethics that's main food staple is still dead birds? And, isn't that fake chicken still going to be cooked in the same oil as the real chicken?
And personally, I don't want my chickens gassed. Thanks, but I can live without chemicals that kill animals being in my food.
Why is KFC pleasing the people that will never fully support it, at the risk of alienating the people that do eat there? - Yollasho, on 07/07/2008, -5/+49When did health nuts start wanting to eat at horrible quality fast food chains?
- MarshalBanana, on 07/07/2008, -21/+60the improvement in slaughter conditions is good, but NOBODY will want a block of tofu with batter on it.
- btschul, on 07/07/2008, -9/+39Will they make the tofu chicken as greasy and disgusting as the real chicken?
- fluidfoundation, on 07/07/2008, -1/+31........... OR you can just not buy food from them.
- serif69, on 07/08/2008, -12/+37There are lots of great chicken substitutes: turkey, veal, pheasant, rooster, duck, etc.
And for the record, vegan food is tofu, legumes (from which tofu is made), vegetables, fruit, fungus, and grains. No combination of these things can even approximate the taste and texture of meat products. Non-meat product is not a substitute for meat product. - NikoKun, on 07/09/2008, -1/+22What's wrong about PETA?
Seriously... Go watch the Penn & Teller's ***** episode on PETA...
Gives you a whole different view. - digggggggggg, on 07/09/2008, -0/+20Some form of fried tofu is available at just about every Asian restaurant that I've been to. Sure, they don't try to pass it off as chicken, but it's not half bad. You might be thinking about the white blocky tofu - not all tofu's like that.
- peestandingup, on 07/09/2008, -2/+22Guys tofu is tofu. There's no such thing as "tofu chicken". Do you think everything in a vegetarians diet is got freaking tofu in it??
On that note, faux chicken is actually quite good. Try the Morning Star Farms breaded kind. I seriously like it better than regular chicken. - dave122, on 07/07/2008, -22/+41That's awesome, I sincerely hope PETA people start going to KFC, so I can eat chicken sloppily in front of them commenting on things like "Wow this baby bird flesh tastes so wonderfull, I am sure glad he had a good life so I could eat him in front of these god damned hippies"
- Jo9100, on 07/07/2008, -4/+23Unchicken. lol.
- jakedakat, on 07/09/2008, -1/+15Not being a huge fan of Peta, but a a vegetarian myself I like this. Since Burger King started offering the BKVeggie made by Morningstar, I have made them an option when I am on the road. Subway also offers a veggie pattie sandwich. I don't care if the rest of you eat chicken and beef. Some extra options would be nice for me if, If not no biggie. To each, his own!

if anyone needs me i'll be sitting here eating my Beef and Chicken shish kabobs. OM NOM NOM NOM NOM! - Surferess, on 07/07/2008, -14/+28There are lots of great chicken substitutes. If you think the idea of vegan food is tofu, you are way out of touch.
- ALyken, on 07/07/2008, -1/+15...apart from chicken
- cawpin, on 07/09/2008, -0/+13"What's wrong about PETA?"
Nothing, except the fact that they think murdering hunters is ok to "save the animals." - Jennica, on 07/09/2008, -0/+13I work at KFC. Did you know there are 2 whole chickens in a 16 piece?
- plugues, on 07/09/2008, -9/+22serious question:
why does the average digg user always poke fun at vegetarians and animal rights activists whenever they see an opportunity?
i'm veg and i think we should be praised. to go full vegan can be a tough job, but it's good for the environment, for your health and specially for the animals. so, really, what's there to ridicule?
don't give me any of that peta bs because peta is not all there is when it comes to animal rights. - enigmatics, on 07/09/2008, -0/+12Try Morning Star Farms' Chik'n Nuggets (soy based). Those taste and feel more like chicken than chicken nuggets from McDonalds ever will. I'd put $20 down that you'd find 'em tastey. Just don't put them in the microwave, nothing good comes out of the microwave...
- ironeus, on 08/01/2008, -3/+15Does unchicken make you unfull?
- tedrock, on 07/09/2008, -1/+13work anywhere long enough and you won't want to eat the food. the smells and all the handling gets to you after awhile.
- mentol, on 07/08/2008, -4/+15I'm not saying that KFC is healthy (tastes great though) but to sell vegan chicken at a chicken restaurant, that's crazy.
- str3ama, on 07/08/2008, -7/+17Hey this is progress. If you don't care about the conditions of how you're food is kept (regardless of whether you actually care about the horrible conditions, or just the effect /quality of the meat under those conditions) you can always go for the regular chicken. Personally I think it's great that they've finally caved in. I think the reason they've caved in is partially due to the whole healthier food movement, more then the company actually caring about inhumane/disgusting living conditions.
- inactive, on 07/09/2008, -0/+10Damn, that title really got my hopes up.
I thought they started selling batter-coated batter.
My culinary dream still stands... :( - ConanTL, on 07/09/2008, -3/+12I'm a vegan and I whole-heartedly agree.
The fact that Peta is working together with KFC is pure insanity (from an animal rights perspective). But then again, Peta has worked together with Burger King and Temple Grandin (a person who designs slaughterhouses). It makes no sense. It's comparable to a Jewish organization getting happy over getting fluffier pillows for concentration camp inmates. Yeah, that's technically better. But it changes nothing. If an organization is for animal rights, it shouldn't be promoting the killing of animals period, be it by guillotine or happy gas or whatever.
To get to the point: ***** PETA! - monsieurginger, on 07/08/2008, -12/+21Join PETA, people for the eating of tasty animals
- sexybobo, on 07/09/2008, -1/+10After the vomit yes
- brianpeiris, on 07/09/2008, -0/+9Thanks for the info, it would seem that PETA *is* pretty evil. Their slogan might have the right idea but their execution is evidently horrible and they seem to take it too far, behaving more like a narrow-minded cult than a rational organization.
Consider my opinion changed, comment unburied. - inactive, on 07/08/2008, -5/+13Basically... you're saying that caving into PETA here is like caving into fundamentalist Islamists' demands. I guess I can't say that you're wrong.
- tlo182, on 07/09/2008, -0/+8It's all deep fried ***** anyways.
- surasshu, on 07/09/2008, -7/+15"i'm veg and i think we should be praised."
This is why we mock you, you self-righteous *****. - NikoKun, on 07/09/2008, -0/+8I'm actually interested in trying crispy fried chicken substitute... I think it would probably taste pretty good!
- surasshu, on 07/09/2008, -0/+7When I saw the title, I was hoping they were selling buckets of skins.
- bob3, on 07/09/2008, -0/+7Seconded
- inactive, on 07/09/2008, -0/+7So is the Vegan chicken option just 100% chicken flavoured cardboard instead of 90% cardboard?
- TheInformer, on 07/09/2008, -2/+8I'll sport for dinner if you do.
- mleh, on 07/09/2008, -0/+6If you need to be praised due to your eating habits, you're vegetarian for all the wrong reasons. I've been a vegetarian for going on two years now and I don't need endorsements from random strangers to support my lifestyle.
As for people being pricks, guess what? Tons of people are pricks. Lots of people drive Hummers and pollute and don't care. Lots of people eat meat and don't care.
The bottom line is that you should be the change you want to see in the world. - ralphleon, on 07/09/2008, -2/+8I'm vegan and it always depresses me when I read digg's comment on a vegetarian related article. I'm not a peta fan (except for their cookbooks.... and naked women to protest fur coats..... and Pamela Anderson) but I'm tired of hearing trite comments like "Peta = People for eating tasty animals".
- wilcocola, on 07/09/2008, -0/+6Yo, I ***** love those! Dugg for somebody else knowing about them.
- DforSpiD, on 07/09/2008, -0/+6That's too simple...
- Thinbev, on 07/09/2008, -1/+7I'm not a full fledged vegetarian or some sort of hippie freak but I try not to eat a lot of meat. I just don't like the idea of killing something to eat it. It's kinda retarded actually...
I'm all for finding ways to find alternatives to dead animal meat.
Call me nuts, but I think that in hundreds or thousands of years people aren't going to eat meat anymore. They're going to say "I can't believe people used to kill these things and eat them?"
Think about it. We used to have slavery for thousands of years and we just recently stopped it... Slavery was always considered normal and totally acceptable. What about human sacrifices? Those also used to be the norm...
- shagmasterzero, on 07/09/2008, -0/+6Yummy, Fake Meat!
- Matri, on 07/09/2008, -2/+8Equal rights! I demand corn-fed beef in vegetarian restaurants too!
- Nysul, on 07/09/2008, -0/+6@enigmatics
Ah someone who shares my hatred of the microwave. I've been trying to convince my wife to throw the thing out for years (I only use it once every 6 months for popcorn, which I could nearly just as easily air pop). - plugues, on 07/09/2008, -0/+6livestock is a major ecological problem. in case you're not aware of that, i recommend that you should start at wikipedia, then move to denser sources of information.
from http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Livestock
"According to the 390 page 2006 United Nations report "Livestock's Long Shadow", the livestock sector (primarily cattle, chickens, and pigs) emerges as one of the top two or three most significant contributors to our most serious environmental problems, at every scale from local to global. The report recommends an immediate halving of the world's livestock numbers, in order to mitigate the worst effects of climate change."

veganism is only expensive if you're into the mockmeat industrialized crap, and even then it's not costlier then basing your diet on prime cut beef. it's a matter of choice. you can have a decent nutrition spending all of your money on veggies, grains and pasta, regular groceries that you'll also buy even if you're a carnivore.
***
i do not suffer from malnutrition, and i don't have any vegan friends that do, although i'm pretty sure there are cases of vegans with health problems, including illnesses derived from malnutrition. it will do you no good at all to be vegan and eat nothing but french fries, nutrition is something to be constantly observed. - ralphleon, on 07/09/2008, -0/+5health nut != vegan/vegetarian. I know plenty of fat unhealthy ones that just do it for the animals. However, personally I'm vegan for environmental and health reasons.
- Divals, on 07/09/2008, -0/+5Thirded, emphatically. If it wasn't so expensive I'd eat Morning Star faux meat all the time.
