Speak for yourself! Never heard that before. Maybe a Tasmanianism?

Oh, and on the food; why people eat that rubbish is beyond me.

It tastes as good as it looks.

I have KFC on a rare occasion now and then, but I prefer my local Chicken Shack. But for price, taste and convenience I will often settle for Popeye's chicken.

It is systemic. But there's a chicken and egg quality to it. In the ghettoes around where I live, it can be difficult, if not impossible, to find a decent supermarket for miles around, yet there are liquor stores on nearly every corner, there are usually mom-and-pop mini-marts (forget about 7-Eleven) that sell everything overpriced except junk food, and there are tons of burger, fried chicken, fried fish, and rib joints all over the place. Because most of these areas are unsafe, you usually won't find a farmers market which will sell fresh produce, even on weekends.

But it's not just a ghetto thing. Mississippi is one of the poorest states in the USA, and it is also the most obese. (It's also in the deep South, which I'll explain later.) In a state which is not exactly known for its healthy cuisine, you have a bunch of small towns in which the only commerce is a chain of fast-food and casual dining restaurants. It's not uncommon to see a whole strip of restaurants like McDonalds, Burger King, KFC, Denny's, Waffle House, Applebee's Red Lobster, Olive Garden, and others all on the same street. But like the ghettoes, you would be hard pressed to find a supermarket anywhere for miles. Yet when President Obama actually wants to send money for healthcare to these parts of the country, the dumbass political leaders of this state (and other Southern states) have fought his plan all the way and have threatened not to take any federal money if and when it is offered to them.

amazing thread!

I don't think about it at all.

If I just want some ready fried chicken I just buy it at the deli of the local grocery store, it has it's own set of problems, but it's far cheaper, 8pc mixed $5.99 everyday.

UNTHINK KFC and think KGC (Kentucky Grilled Chicken).

SoulAlive said:

I think so. But like someone said above a lot of areas, surprisingly the poorer area don't have grocery stores close by just a bunch of fast food place. That's sad.

I'm just getting real irritated with being shanked. I went to Popeye's not long ago and spent $25 on some chicken, 2 slices of pie, 1 side order and 1 drink. I'm passing a grocery store to get home, and was thinking I could have gotten the chicken, a box of Kraft, a liter of soda, half a cake for $15, enough to last me and mine 2-3 days. Not only am I eating unhealthy I'm spending gas money too. The other night the "hood" grocery store had a special of 1 whole roasted chicken, 1 lb. potato salad, 4 hawaiian rolls for $6. Got a bag of salad, some carrots, a half-gallon of ice cream, a liter bottle, for less than $15 again. It's getting to me.

Hate it!
