Up in arms about everything.

So now finding a chicken organ in a KFC meal is a big deal?



I know some of you will disagree with me here, to the point of being appalled, but I see that now trending on Facebook is a story about a Stockton, California teen who found a "chicken organ" in his KFC meal, and got himself up in arms to the point of calling the local TV news yokels, who promptly came out and did a story about it.

And as I read this, I thought: It's now a big deal that you find strange and mysterious chicken parts in meals from KFC? As in, it's actually an issue that you expect someone to address? He thinks it might be a chicken brain. Other "experts" think it could be a kidney or a gizzard. Fox 40 fearlessly investigates! (I'm serious. They really did.) What do you think KFC is? What do you think chicken is? And I ask this as someone who absolutely loves it and, according to my wife, has a tendency to tear into it like a wild dog. It's a mess of various and sundry parts, some of which you can identify, some of which will leave you wondering. To truly experience the thrill that is eating chicken, you don't sit there and inspect each and every tiny little element, thinking, "What's this? Is it safe? Is it healthy? Is it appropriate for my consumption? Will I die?" Because if that's the way you think when you eat, go get some carrot sticks. Be sure to wash them, junior! We seem to have reached the point as a society where everyone is ready to get up in arms about absolutely anything and everything. Maybe this kid was just looking for an excuse to get his $4 back. (By the way, if he thinks being on a budget means "fast food is the only option" then he doesn't know very much about the price of food.) But seriously, if I order food from KFC, I just assume that neither I nor they really knows everything that's in the meal, and I don't worry about it because I know that this is what happens when you eat chicken. And don't even get me started on the media, which can't be bothered to cover Benghazi, Fast and Furious or the IRS scandal, but jumps all over a chicken organ in a chicken meal like it's the second coming of Watergate. Am I missing something here? Because if you sympathize with this kid, tell me where I'm wrong. I wonder if Brian Williams ever found a chicken brain in his meal at KFC . . .
