Consumer group sues KFC over unhealthy fat
WASHINGTON – A consumer advocacy group sued the operator of the KFC fried chicken restaurant chain on Tuesday to try and force it to stop frying foods in artery-clogging fat.
The Center for Science in the Public Interest, in a suit filed against Yum Brands Inc. in the Superior Court for the District of Columbia, said some KFC meals were "startlingly" high in artery-clogging trans fat from the partially hydrogenated oils used for frying.

The group asked the court to switch to a healthier frying oil. If that is ruled out, the group asked the court to require signs at KFC outlets saying "KFC fried chicken and certain other foods contain trans fat, which promotes heart disease."
Can’t people just decide what the hell they want to eat without some Ner’ Do Well consumer group deciding for us?
