Looks like the health chuckwagon driven by celebrity chef Jamie Oliver (and before him by Alice Waters) is becoming somewhat of a bandwagon with other television cooks along for the ride, including Rachael Ray and Paula Deen (who has never batted a preturnaturally long-lashed eye at bacon, butter or shortening). If these divas of dining, together with Oliver, help people eat better, then who cares if it's the latest trend -- again.

There are so many parts to the fat story. Unfortunately for many bad food satisfies and the food industry rises to the occasion. I can't believe that KFC is launching a "bunless" sandwich. 2 deep fried chicken breasts, bacon, cheese, and secret sauce.They should be shot!
You're right.
I haven't tried that bacon sandwiched between chicken hunks. It really seems on the surface a monstrosity. But on the other hand, what if I were like to it? I think I'd better stay away.
PS -- sorry to take so long to reply. A friend just noticed that her comment wasn't appearing -- I finally figured out I had comment moderation on and didn't realize it.
