I'm no expert on food-borne illnesses, but I think salmonella is more likely to be a threat from chickens (and eggs) and e. coli is more likely to be a threat from employees not washing their hands.
Yum!

Ashish,
What a scary story about the Australian girl and KFC. I actually want to learn more about this story though, that article just did not have enough info for me.
To the KFC's point in that story, I wonder how it can be proven that the Salmonella poisoning occurred there and not somewhere else. It seems to me that the only way you could prove it was from that store is if other people outside of the family got sick there as well.
Regardless of all of that though, what an absolutely frightening story.

@tokyogai, exactly! Not that anyone should be thinking fast food when looking for a healthy option, but even some fast food salads are worse than burgers and fries.

If not, it should have been. The nutrition information on almost all of the fast foods is terrible.
Is it possible...

Do any of you guys think it's possible that slower sales in the fast food industry could have been a result of the initial consumer shock of seeing calorie counts posted for their fave fast food items?
Also, do you think that fast food places should post more nutritional info as well? After all, calorie count can be quite deceiving...

"Though ever now and then I get that craving for an egg McMuffin and I break down..."
@scott, hahahaha...I hear ya. Sometimes you just have to throw caution to the wind and dig into a 1200 calorie breakfast. If for no other reason than to appreciate how much better you feel when you don't eat this fast food garbage...

"The girl in the Australian lawsuit suffered brain damage because of salmonella infected chicken. It wasnt overtly poisoned but sounds as if poor handling of the chicken may have contributed to the girls illness."
I have to say, it never even occurred to me how dangerous it must be to trust some of the "cooks" at a fast food place when it comes to food safety/cross contamination. Judging by some of the dolts I've dealt with at the counter...I can only imagine what codes are being violated behind the scene...

That's interesting. You get a lot of meat in middle eastern food. Specially beef. Guess they wanted to put more meat in the pizza. The last time I had KFC I felt that the meat was undercooked. But I liked the mashed potatoe you can order instead of the french fries.

All stories freaked me out. Now I need to think twice to eat at any fast food resturants.
