Is KFC Grilled Chicken Healthy?
I think the main draw of grilled chicken is that it appears healthy. All of the KFC commercials about their original recipe versus grilled chicken implies that there is a healthy alternative at KFC. I was expecting this to be a sarcastic post after I checked out the nutritional facts. I already had jokes ready about how it's grilled in oil.
Apparently, I'm wrong, just don't tell anyone. Hopefully the entire internet is using Mp3 players right now and couldn't hear or read that for some reason. According to the official KFC site grilled chicken has 4-9 grams of fat per serving. KFC original chicken has 7-21 grams of fat per serving. The danger here is all of the side dishes at KFC that most people will eat with grilled chicken because just eating a plate of chicken is kinda sad.
Sad 4th of July Facts
I was a bit confused when I couldn't find the firework schedule for my new town. I decided to aim my patio chair in the general direction of the sky & wait as soon as it got dark. If that doesn't work I'm going to find swing sets so I can see the whole town.
Turns out that my town doesn't have fireworks. I guess because it's a desert they accidentally set the town on fire a few years ago. Now they swear they will never ever ever again have a firework display. It's so dry here that even grilling outside is prohibited. I have no idea how to celebrate the 4th of July without watching explosions in the sky.
Zion's National Park Facts
As someone who lives in Utah it's difficult to describe the majesty of Zion's National Park. Even when you look at pictures like this:
Sure, it looks like that, but it's thousands of feet high. My favorite thing about the park is that it's bright red and orange. I've never been much for geology I just know that somethings are pretty and some things aren't. One of the tour guides was giving us a folksy geology lesson. He said that the rocks weren't actually red. The sandstone is white and gray but it's been stained red over time. I can't imagine having to try and scrub it off.
