Check your calendars, folks: April Fool’s Day was more than two months ago. So, yes, this is for real.
After a long-running battle with PETA, KFC Canada has announced plans to upgrade its chicken slaughtering methods and - gasp of shock - introduce several vegan and vegetarian menu options, including some Kentucky Fried Unchicken.
From the article:
“The fake chicken, known as unchicken, has been around for years and is available in a handful of restaurants and stores in Canada. Most of the fake meats are soy-based and fair game for vegans. Some may contain eggs, but are meat-free.”
The thing is, I’ve never been a big fake meat fan to begin with, and I can’t see myself trusting the Colonel to do it right.
What do you think? Is this change finger-lickin’ good news?
