KFC’s new Double Down has nanny statists doing a double take:
The arrival of KFC’s 540-calorie Double Down sandwich has caught the attention of the Ontario government.
Health experts and nutritionists expressed concerns this week when KFC started selling the Double Down — two slabs of seasoned fried chicken sandwiching bacon, cheese and secret sauce — in Canada.
The sandwich has 30 grams of fat and 1,740 milligrams of sodium — about half a day’s recommended fat content and more than the daily adult’s salt intake should be.
Health Promotion Minister Margarett Best was asked about the Double Down today, and said it was something the province could investigate.
I don’t have any great desire to eat one, but I don’t like somebody trying to tell me I can’t.
For some reason this meal brings back memories of childhood and camping. My dad would cook us bacon & eggs on the campstove. That’s eggs fried in the bacon grease after the bacon’s done cooking — yummmmmm. *Sigh* Those were the days…

Mmmmm. I think I want one.
Why can’t these left wing lunatics leave people alone, they are worse than the Chinese government, they at least leave people alone unless you critisise them.
If all those left-wing freaks who worry about what I put in my body would leave us meatatarians alone they’d probably save the health care system a lot of money as their stress level went down. Of course, a nanny statist can help themselves, they have to intrude on everybody’s lives. It’s a disease.
why are they ranting over this now when people have been eating two or three pieces of KFC chicken and fries at a meal for years.
Left-wing nannies don’t give a rodent’s derrière about your health or diet. The deliciously tempting Double Down is just another excuse for state control.
“That’s eggs fried in the bacon grease after the bacon’s done cooking — yummmmmm. *Sigh* Those were the days…”
I am really mad at you! You have just given away the secret to my famous family bacon & eggs when we get together out camping recipe.
I am also famous family wide for my scrambled eggs done in the TASTY grease of the 1/4 lb of diced bacon per serving along with 3 eggs scrambled.
I defy you to make real pop corn any way at all without the grease (oil) of your favourite bacon and have it taste as good as is should. (that microwave crap ain`t pop corn) All you people that equate a lot of salt with flavour have a lot to learn.
I will fight any government agency, person, idea or whatever that infringes on my or my families right to eat anything that tastes really good. If they do not think it is healthy THEY do not have to eat it.
Mmmmmm… bacon grease is wonderful! I’ve never had popcorn cooked in bacon grease, although recently I went back to stove-popped from microwave. Hubby and I both agree it tastes way better.
I don’t think McGuinty’s minions are actually going ahead with this, but to even discuss it as a possibility is idiotic.
Natasha, I’ll send you some *real* pop corn… the old fashioned kind that pops into a ball, not those mangled kernal-be-damned crap they call popping corn. Comes highly recommended by Mr K
Oh, you’re a sweetie! I’ve actually been thinking about buying this corn popper from Lee Valley — it has a crank for keeping the popcorn stirred up (so you don’t have to shake the pan).
This trying to control what people eat is just another step in the progressive’s war on the free market enterprise. Who the hell does he think he is? Michelle Obama? I will be so glad when Dalton and his dolts get their asses kicked to the curb the next election.
If they made it Halal, the state wouldn’t dare step on it.
I’d like to see them try and stop me eating my deep fried mars bars mmm.
Note: Here’s a link to the corn popper I was talking about: http://www.leevalley.com/en/gifts/page.aspx?p=64273&cat=4,53214,64273
I’m leaning toward the newer stainless steel one…
We can’t have the slaves incurring health care costs to the state before their useful productivity span has passed.
