There are many reasons to avoid dining at Kentucky Fried Chicken for the food alone.

In the U.S., 15 million Americans are classified as unemployed. Another 9.1 million are working on a part-time basis because they can't secure full-time employment.

If you eat breakfast and lunch at school, and get three squares a day, that means that only 360 of the 1,095 meals you'll eat per year are in the lunch ladies' hands.
