Low Linolenic Beans May Help KFC

Kentucky Fried ChickenYou’ve probably heard by now that some idiots are suing Kentucky Fried Chicken. If not, read more about it in this story. Here’s an excerpt, “The suit seeks to force the KFC chain to stop cooking with trans fat or clearly warn customers about the health hazard.”

Although KFC thinks it’s a frivolous lawsuit, I think that word is too nice. Hey, doctor and idiotic organization, “Go eat somewhere else and leave my KFC alone!”

Of course, there may be another option. Thanks to alert AgWired readers at Monsanto they pointed out that: This type of news confirms that there is a high demand for heart-healthier soybean oils. Because of its low-linolenic acid profile, oil from VISTIVE soybeans do not need to be partially hydrogenated, thereby removing or eliminating trans fats. We expect to see more consumers demanding lower trans fats in their foods, and we think VISTIVE can help meet that demand.
