Mark Morford takes the "idiotic, obese, undereducated masses" to task for their contemptible fondness of awful, evil, corporate fast food.
The KFC Double Down: One Sandwich To Kill You All .

You got your chicken-like creature, your pig-like creature, your dairy cow-like creature, all wrapped in a $5 fistful of nausea, ready to strangle your heart and benumb your brain. God knows what's in the "special sauce." Maybe some sort of fish byproduct, just to round it all out. It's like a wild kingdom in your mouth! It's like a toxic zoo in your colon! It's like a suicide note from what's left of your brain! "If you eat this, you are a complete and total idiot, and we're through. Signed, You."
. . .
this horrible crapbucket of chyme joins a very long list of fast-food nightmares you should never put anywhere near your mouth, unless you deeply hate yourself and don't give a damn anymore, and you want to die fat and stupid and smelling like that rotting thing you found in your rain gutter.
. . .
Further, some argue that it's a bit disingenuous to blame the junk food purveyors for all the obesity, cancer, impotence, bad skin and colonic pain in the land. After all, the undereducated masses love to eat this garbage, right? KFC test-marketed this Double Down death bomb for months, to (presumably) great effect.

Of course, it's sort of a foregone conclusion, a rigged game. This vile meatwich is crammed like a grenade with sodium, sugar, fat and chemicals. Ergo, the testers, presumably people with taste buds devastated by years of cramming similar compost into their guts, thought it was pure nirvana. And then their colons exploded.

Had KFC actually tested it on people who eat real food every day, folk who haven't touched fast food in years, whose systems are strong and fully recovered and in whose bodies blood flows unobstructed, had KFC dared any genuinely healthy human to take a bite, you can bet they would have heard, and smelled, a slightly different reaction.

Mark, please don't pull your punches. Tell us what you really think of middle America.
 
While I would suggest he is a little over the top, they are planning to introduce the thing here. Just looking at it I can feel my arteries clogging.
 
Looks a bit lame to me. Stick a fried Egg on top though and You've got a winner there. :eye-poppi
 
A friend (who happens to have a bacon fetish) had that a couple of days ago here in Houston and gave this review:

***************

"Like a fistful of meat.

I'm assuming it was just the inexperience of the staff that prepared it, (I think I ordered their first one ever) but it was just a couple fried chicken breasts with some slices of cheese and bacon in between. It didn't stay together at all and was messy to eat. I think that if the breasts were glued together by the cheese it would be decent, but my cheese was unmelted so the entire thing fell apart when I picked it up.

It's extremely filling; I didn't touch my wedges. It's also bland and greasy. My stomach still feels as if I ate a handful of lead and wasps. Would I recommend it? NO. I'd eat 10 McGangbangs before I consumed another one of these monstrosities."

A friend of mine, who works in health care, happened to take a look at the Double Down compared to other fast food offerings. One with fried chicken instead of grilled will get you the same amount of calories as a Big Mac. Sodium content is through the roof, but who didn't expect that?

Frankly, there's nothing new here nutritionally. All the fervour against it is just giving more advertising for something not any worse than what's already out there. What's out there is bad, but we knew that too.
 
According to their nutrition info it's the same calories as one breast and one thigh of original recipe chicken. A bit less than a Crispy Twister and a bit more than the other KFC sandwiches. Less calories than a Whopper, a few more than a Big Mac.

Of course, those are all evil corporate fast food too.

Why in the heck would KFC test their product on "folk who haven't touched fast food in years"? I don't think they are among the expected customers for this.
 
More importantly how do we differentiate "real food" from "pretend food?" Is the "pretend food" made of plastic?

Also, I'd love for some KFC aficionado to do a scathing review of whatever ultra-expensive crappy vegan diet this ***hole prefers. I mean I don't eat fast food very often but I sure don't look down on those that do as scum.

I'm middle america and I don't eat fast food very often. I had a steak and shake milk shake and a burger for the first time in three years a few weeks ago.
