Russell Simmons Joins Anti-KFC Campaign

"When a company targets our community, disrespects us as consumers and sells us products ridden with negative energy and laced with toxins, that is our business."

I just thought this was interesting. I actually like chicken, and Russell Russ is a vegan... But it is an interesting thought. Although, I eat meat ...but I won't do it at any cost. I've always felt like I could live without meat...When I eat chicken, I want chicken, not phosphates and perservatives, and steroids or whatever they've been adding to chicken.

Something else struck me about this statement: it seems that he's also saying that it's intolerable that fast food companies target Black communities. We really should take a closer look at that! There ain't nothing healthy about a double meat, double cheese blah blah blah with cheese and extra mayo and a super duper sized fries!!!! Oh but the commercials are soooo cool! Come on, let's get FREE, not stupid!!! Ain't nothing cool about diabetes and heart attacks!!!

We absolutely should question everything .. what we eat, what we read, what we see, what we think, why we think what we think. We're all intelligent people, prove it.

WHAT DO YOU EAT??? WHAT'S IN YOUR FOOD??
