Seriously, KFC? Some food good, some food very bad

With all the talk about health care lately, one would think that rather than passing a bill to help people we might actually ---- try to help people. By, I don't know maybe, stopping the problem before it starts. If obesity is truly the root of all evil in terms of health, then let's work on that issue. Help people be healthly so they don't end up having to use the health care system in the first place. Doesn't that sound like a good idea?

So check out these two things

First, KFC is introducing a sandwich called the 'Double Down'. The gambling reference is apparently lost on them, but not on me. This sandwich is beyond risky. And to actually call it a sandwich is pushing it a bit.

The 'sandwich' is bacon, cheese, and something called the 'Colonel's Sauce', all mashed between, not two slices of bread, but two hunks of chicken.

Here's a photo of the concoction:

Yeah. Yum. I don't go to KFC now and I doubt this will make me rush right out to one.

On the other end of the eating spectrum is chef "Jamie Oliver's Food Revolution", a show that is currently airing on ABC.

If you have any doubts about how poorly people eat, watch this show.

Oliver is working in the town of Huntington, West Virginia, a place called the unhealthiest city in America.

Trying to teach folks about good nutrition, both myself and Chef Oliver were more than amazed that there are actually people out there who think french fries are a vegetable. Seriously.

Oliver is working with schools and families to help educate all about better food choices.

And it's not been easy. He's been met with resistance at nearly every turn.

Check out this show. It's sure to make you re-evulate your dietary habits. It airs on ABC on Friday nights and repeats on Saturday afternoon. Consult your local listings for exact times. You can also watch full episodes on abc.com.

So, in conclusion, thumbs up to Jamie Oliver for attempting a 'Food Revolution' and thumbs down to KFC for undermining what should be a nationwide quest for good health and not just a health plan to take care of people after they make poor choices regarding food.

What do you think about the new KFC 'sandwich' and "Jamie Oliver's Food Revolution"?

Let's discuss.
