Can any New Yorker fill me in the New York KFC practices? Is it different from the rest of the country?
I
think he's just addressing his audience in kind, as KFC has addressed theirs.
There's probably not 250 KFC's in Fargo, but there are in NYC.
I don't know that KFC is worse than any others, but I know chicken farms and slaughterhouses are digusting. But you can't boycott those. Just the
consumer end of the process. And KFC is the leader.
The minority targeting (they obviously do) is just another aspect.
We've gone all through this with cigarettes and alcohol too. Big companies tend to market the worst of the worst in black communities.
If one were to compare KFC practices (including how they treat employees) to those of say Chic-Fil-A... you'll find plenty.
Healthier food, cleaner practices, better benefits, targeting white suburban locales, etc.
