I think it's funny that anyone even thinks twice about KFC not being chicken. Do people think they grow them in a test tube somewhere? The marketing people decided to rebrand the franchise as KFC a few years ago. That's all. They use the name "KFC" without uttering the words "fried" or "chicken" to strengthen the brand.

I assure you that the chickens they serve are real, or as real as chickens raised in a cage, pumped full of antibiotics and hormones can be. As far as I know, no one has discovered how to duplicate animals. Even cloning requires the animal to be born and grow. So there's no advantage to genetically manupulating chickens to grow them, whatever that means.

Last I knew (I had a college buddy go into management at a chicken production company), there are no antibiotics allowed in the food given to chickens anywhere in the US.
