We have a feeling PETA isn't going to be re-naming Oprah their Person of the Year for 2009 after they get word of this one. Media mogul and talk show host Oprah has announced she will be buying a Kentucky Fried Chicken 2-piece grilled chicken dinner for every family in America.


This is coming from the same lady who hosted an entire show based on uncovering the dark side of chicken farming last fall. Of all chicken manufacturers who use unethical factory farming practices, KFC is by far the worst. PETA has a long-standing campaign against the fast food restaurant, called Kentucky Fried Cruelty.

Celebrities such as Pamela Anderson, Sir Paul McCartney, the Dalai Lama, the late Bea Arthur, and Reverend Al Sharpton are among the list of folks boycotting the chicken restaurant.

We think it's great that Oprah is taking it upon herself to help feed America during a recession - after all, every little bit helps - but couldn't she have chosen a restaurant that isn't known for it's cruel slaughtering practices? Sound off below and let us know your comments.

Maybe we should contact her via Twitter (@Oprah) and kindly suggest she choose a different restaurant.

Could it be possible that KFC asked her to do it? Like make a secret deal or something?

Still, this just makes her hypocritical.

I can't believe she done that.
Why didn't she choose a different restaurant?
I sure as hell don't want that.

uh... money. need i say more? ok i will.. kfc knows that if they give oprah the credit here it will get FAR more publicity than one of their commercials... think of the millions of people that saw this go down live... and then the thousands more that blogged about it and told their friends... cheap publicity and ur just fueling it more.

Hey, if she's helping the whole country eat at least one meal without worrying how much it'll cost them, who cares? Plus, she's helping KFC get their new product out there, and promote a company who could probably use the help, so I say good for her.

Nicole Melanson

POSTED 3 YEARS AGO

here's what my take-away is on this....a woman promoting peace and saying, I'll be a peaceful hypocrite any day of the week if it helps feed hungry families. Sometimes you have to make hard choices in life....and for me....until we all see, hear, and feel "at peace" (every single soul on this planet) then I'd say....the chicken's souls are sacrificed for the greater good. Peace, love, and light to all.

I am just starting to believe that Oprah is a huge infomercial. KFC must have bought her out. I am 100% with Peta and do not support KFC at all, so this hypocritical situation is pretty shocking to me. I believe the idea her show has is a great gesture to all American families in need, but I think she could have done it differently.

So all of you out there saying that we are not all vegans STFU thats not what it's about.

Well, I think Oprah is doing something nice in her mind. And even if KFC has unethical practices and isnt the cleanest restuarant to go to, KFC has been a round for a very long time and will be around with or with out oprah winfrey's help!!!!!!!! KFC has really good chicken and pretty clean places to eat the amazing chicken! I have been to places far worse than KFC!! Some places I have been treat their customers like dirt or gum stuck on the bottom of their shoe that they cant get off, talk about rude. KFC, in my mind is one of the cleanest places to go when you are craving some good ol' home cooked chicken and want to be treated nicely!
