Original or Extra Crispy, not exactly health fare, but it will soon be healthier at KFC. Fried in a better for you zero trans fat soybean oil.

The announcement came just hours before a New York City Board of Health hearing. New York wants to be the first US city to ban restaurants from serving food containing trans fat. Health advocates say fast food needs to be reined in by lawmakers.

Trans fat is so common that the FDA says most Americans eat 4.7 pounds of it a year. Health experts say contributing to obesity and clogged arteries. Consumer demand for more healthy fast food has led some burger chains like Wendy’s to transition to zero trans fat oil. But some consumers wonder if the switch means losing flavor.
I don’t believe the taste is still gonna be the same.
OK KFC says the lawsuit did not prompt the change. The transition should be complete by April of next year. Still containing trans fats though, KFC’s biscuits.
