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.

Never eat fake anything.
Have you considered our newest product?
Soylent Green.

Back in the early 1980s, McDonalds first came out with them. They have been a scourge on our civilization ever since with supermarkets selling billions of pounds of frozen breaded "nuggets" for people who don't want to cook, but microwave on high for 10 or 15 minutes.
I hate chicken "nuggets".
Vegans don’t eat plant based chicken flavored gruel so why are they making this crap

Some greasy fried chicken is better for you than some overly processed and battered mush.

What passes for management these days would be considered absolute morons in the not too distant past.
The Report of the Week guy branded them inedible.
