The article he churned out after his very important meal with President Biden is beyond bloated. Although Friedman said their conversation was off-record, he was gracious enough to tell his readers...

KFC is the latest fast-food giant to claim that “plant-based” chicken can taste as good as the real thing — but the chain picked the wrong faux fowl to make its case. The chain’s supposedly long-awaited Beyond Nuggets (six for $7.99) are beyond awful — worse than KFC’s near-flavorless real-meat chicken tenders. The fake chicken from within KFC’s new offerings come from Beyond Meat, a rival to Impossible Foods, which created the famous Impossible Burger. The idea behind offering artificial chicken at KFC is to “democratize plant-based protein,” according to Beyond Meat founder Ethan Brown.

Wood-chipper slaughter stirs debate Animal activists push for changes By NADA EL SAWY Associated Press LOS ANGELES -- The owners of a Southern California egg farm insist they did nothing wrong when they slaughtered 30,000 chickens, quarantined because of a virus, by throwing them into wood chippers. State authorities agreed and decided not to file animal cruelty charges. That decision has incensed animal-rights advocates -- and some producers -- who say it's an example of the need for stricter laws and enforcement to stop what they consider inhumane slaughter of livestock. "It's not what we do," said Paul Bahan, owner...
