KFC goes grilled

Recenlty, KFC released their new food line, Kentucky Grilled Chicken, in an attempt to draw in more health-conscious customers. The food is promising-

"KFC says each piece of its grilled chicken has 70 to 180 calories and four to nine grams of fat. By contrast, the Original Recipe items have between 110 and 370 calories and 7 to 21 grams of fat, depending on the piece. The grilled chicken contains from 160 to 440 milligrams of sodium per piece, as opposed to 290 to 1,050 milligrams of sodium per piece of Original Recipe chicken."

The down side is the amount of sodium, "the 440 milligrams listed by KFC in a grilled chicken breast still amounts to more than one-fourth the amount that someone middle aged or older should consume daily."

Bascially, this is something that is heading in the right direction, but it still isn't all that great for you. I doubt we will ever see any fast food that can really be that good for you, some of the sandwhiches in Subway are even a bit doubtful. But, it is a good idea, and I applaud KFC for joining the health-conscious wagon.
