KFC and McDonald's are the two places that I try maybe once a year, get through half of what I'd ordered, and all of a sudden start feeling like shit. KFC is just really weird how the chicken has literally zero cartilage and is just breading, meat, and bone. It's super easy to eat, and doesn't taste bad, but it just seems wrong and unnatural.

Burger here, I stopped in a Canadian KFC and it was unironically some of the best fried chicken I've ever tasted, fast food or otherwise. The ones around here fucking suck in comparison. To rub salt in the wound, it wasn't even a full KFC, it was one of those Pizza hut/KFC frankenstein abominations.

The bottom line is food is insanely cheap compared to cost of living in the US, even after we export bunch. You'd have to try pretty hard to starve here.
So they are competing with much less expensive options, home cooked or not as compared to Europe and such. In countries with extreme poor and a small middle class and little regulation, shitty cheap street food forces KFC and the like to chase a higher income bracket and so the quality must be increased, as well as probably trying to be a novelty. Japan is just Japan, they seem to be high quality everything and I'm not even a weeb.
In order to be cheap and fast and get good margins is to use the absolute cheapest ingredients. Otherwise the poor and lazy might consider learning how to cook quick meals instead. Why buy a tiny $1 mechanically separated chicken sandwich if you can get a pound of chicken thighs on sale for $1.50 a pound?
That said, I still get cheap ass fast food at the drive through a couple times a month, so it's definitely a cultural thing that lets them get away with it. Sometimes I just crave that highly processed and engineered goodness with no effort and pocket change.

>> No.11132286

>>11132278
Though in fairness, I don't think most fast food places use mechanically separated chicken anymore after the big outcry about "pink slime".

>> No.11132296

Burgers will deny it, but most countries, even some third world countries, have higher standards for food quality than the US.

>> No.11132303

>>11132278
And to clarify, I should have said why buy a $2 little particulate chicken sandwich compared to a pound of chicken thighs for $2 or less.
They have to keep that price low. Time and time again McDonald has taken massive hits when they didn't have good dollar menu items. The $1 mcdouble was an incredible deal calorie and protein wise. When they got rid off that I stopped going, and apparently lots other did as well.
Only started again because of the any sandwich for a dollar coupons on the app. But they lose money there too. And when the good coupons end, I'll uninstall the app.
Their model honestly is starting to seem doomed long term.

Not really true. The FDA is pretty decent. There's actually sketchy chemicals allowed in parts of Europe or the EU as a whole. But the opposite is definitely at least equally as true for the US, so don't take that as a brag.
Australia is about on par, Japan is better. Everywhere else is worse.

Outside the US KFC is more like Taco Bell. More willing to do crazy things with the menu items and keep it fresh and interesting.

The only Asian version of the FDA I trust is Japan's FDA.

We even trust Japan enough that a new Japanese flu medicine that only requires one single pill unlike Tami-flu for example may get approved this December 2018 and start going on sale in America in 2019.

So yeah, the next time you or your relatives or friends get the flu, you guys should mention the new Japanese flu drug that only requires a single pill.
