A 1980's circa KFC bucketPeople for the Ethic Treatment of Animals (PETA) are outraged over a move by Kentucky State Rep. Charles Siler to designate Kentucky Fried Chicken as the official state picnic food.PETA has been embroiled in protests against the KFC chain for years over the alleged mistreatment of meat chickens.Yeah,I guess the slaughtering process leaves little to be desired but how else are you going to eat the chicken without killing,plucking and cleaning it?There are too many legitimate animal rights beefs without PETA going for the jugular of the ginormous Pepsico-owned fried chicken chain started by Colonel Harlan Sanders decades ago.The group even demanded that the Capitol House in Frankfort,KY,remove a bust of Col.Sanders on display!C'mon people,mellow out!We gotta eat!If you do not want to eat meat thats your right and you can just get biscuits or something if you do not want a juicy original recipe 4 piece dinner WITH giblet gravy!I think some of the state designations some politicians introduce are silly and all but KFC is a household name and if the state wants to honor Colonel Sanders then let them at it!
