Those that know me know I'm fat and lazy, this typically goes for my politics too. But politicians are messing with my RIGHT to be fat and lazy. The Federal, and some state governments are looking for a way to pay for Health care and are going to start legislating what is "appropriate" food to eat via taxes. The first proposal catching momentum is a Soda Tax. Read more in the link below.
Barnesville: Soda tax and the new government health bill
I think this is unacceptable and we should protest. That is why I am planning for The Lunch Bus to go to KFC next week. Why KFC you ask? They are laughing in the face of health nuts everywhere by coming out with a new menu item, the Double Down! It will be available on Monday, and I think it is the image of opposition to the Soda Tax proposition! You can read more about it here. For those that want to support the cause, but want to still eat healthy brown bag it and make your own vegan version.
So who is with me? Mike, Duke, anybody coming in town to help support? You can always be with us in spirit by joining the cause at your own local KFC.
And if you think I jest, here is the count down on KFC's site.

I'm in my brother! I'll be at a KFC on Monday in support of the anti healthy tax.
ReplyDeleteCan you get KFC to dip the the Double Down in batter and re-fry it? That would be "more awesome".
ReplyDeleteI can't come to town next week, but last month I made a special calendar entry just for this sandwich (if you can call it that). I will be there in spirit have a Double Down at the Chelsea, AL KFC.
