In other news:
- KFC is launching a new HEALTHY sandwich– two pieces of fried chicken sandwiching bacon & cheese!
Oh, I said, “healthy,” huh? April Fools!
Click here for the deets. In the spirit of objective info., I’ll just note that while the writers of the piece say the 540-calories price tag is “whopping” — you can just as shockingly get a salad at Claim Jumper for double the calories — the Bleu Cheese Wedge has 1114 calories, 30g sat. fat, & 1839 mg sodium. Just sayin’. - Enter Cedar Lane Natural Foods’ (maker of awesome frozen food) “Stock Your Freezer for Free” contest here! You can enter every day for a chance to win a year’s worth of frozen food. (News via Hungry Girl here)
- More calorie/nutritional data to become transparent at restaurant chains NATIONWIDE! See here! (News via Hungry Girl here — Have you signed up to receive their daily e-newsletter yet?)

- Have you seen Jamie Oliver’s reality t.v. show “Food Revolution”? Click here — it’s shocking how desperately we need school lunch reform and food education for children. Click here to sign his petition.
Do you think you can conjure up a more disturbing sandwich than KFC’s new Frankenstein sandwich? I’d love to hear your ideas (because I’m sick like that…)!

Totally disturbing because it’s a) kfc which makes me sick and b) has no redeeming qualities (breaded and fried fat sandwiching more fat and even more fat). However, the calorie price tag? Not horrid for what it is. I bet their chicken Caesar salad with all that full fat dressing is worse.
Not clamouring to go get one, but I’m totally with you on it not being that “whopping”.
Thanks so much for the book contest – not only do I love reading up on health & wellness stuff, but I could seriously use a diet cleanse right now too!
I’ve seen that sandwich on epicportions… uuuuhghfdsahl. I shudder. =/ But yayy for Jaime Oliver’s campaign – it sucks because people are writing it off as a marketing scheme, but there’s practically no way around that if you’re a well known person. I’ve signed the petition already, and I love the show!

Yay i won!! Thanks for hosting the giveaway, I’m excited to read the book!
OMG that sandwich is crazy. I’m not one who is inclined to be grossed out by fast food but that is just NASTY.
I’m so happy I won!!! Thanks for hosting the giveaway!!!!
I really need to see Jamie Oliver’s show; it sounds fantastic.
Fried chicken with bacon and cheese… blech!
Is it possible to come up with anything more disgusting than that sandwich? Just the sight of it alone had my stomach turning!!
