Does a sandwich without bread actually count as a “sandwich?” At best it’s sandwich-esque. On the other hand, I doubt your fat-encased heart will care.
[The "Double Down" is] bacon and cheese sandwiched between two pieces of fried chicken. [...] KFC announced the decision to go live with the Double Down yesterday, but we weren’t sure they weren’t playing a April Fools gag. But no, they truly are going nationwide with the delicacy on April 12.
The sandwich will be available in two forms. The Original Recipe sandwich will set you back about 540 calories, 32g of fat and 1380mg of sodium. The not-as-bad-for-you Grilled Double Down totals 460 calories, 23g of fat and 1430mg of sodium.
…speaking of healthcare…. This sandwich delights the makers of Lipitor!
Can I strap a couple onto a broomstick, ignite with lighter, then use as torch for exploring caves? Or does that only work with original-formulation Twinkies?
“I doubt your fat-encased heart will care”
Eating fat does not make you fat nor does it clog your arteries.
Just dont eat it then. I think it looks rather gross. I dont like that floppy ol bacon that all these places seem to put on their products these days. Its fatty, floppy and nasty.
MMmmmmmmm, angioplasty. Although they forgot to deep fry it as a whole.
#3 But cholesterol does. Are you saying this one is LDL free?
“But cholesterol does. Are you saying this one is LDL free?”
Fully read the links I provided and then comment on what I wrote.
There’s a $1,000 fine for using salt in NYC restaurants, but this is OK?
Most people who care about such things figure one of the 11 “secret” herbs and spices is MSG.
MSG infused bacon… I wish I didn’t live in Colorado.
Fat free food, all I consume. Only low value plant proteins and I still have high cholesterol, after 6 years. I wanna eat that sumbitch, now.
God bless KFC

I am 5’8″, 240lb. Nobody will ever accuse me of being an athlete (although you should have seen me in my high school days… {cue Bruce Springsteen}). But just the thought of that contraption, original recipe or grilled, spurred a slight gag reflex.
Thanks, but no thanks, KFC.
#6 I read them before sending my comment. I just feel it does not take the whole picture into account.
I totally support their view (or findings, I’m sure they’ll find something new in a while) to a degree.
I agree that this “fat free” craze is akin to bio food & global warming. But it is also true that when you get to a certain age, your vessel walls get degraded to such degree that it will not matter if you’re fully fat free, cloths will start to form with what little fat is available.
What’s that age? Don’t know. Depends on the individual’s habits & genetics; but once you hit it, you’re screwed.
Then, your eating habits will eff you.
The chicken is breaded.
Bacon with chicken, are ya kidding me? I won’t touch it.
I meant clots, not cloths
Sounds like HEALTH FOOD compared to Wendy’s TRIPLE BACONATOR !!!
WARNING: TOTALLY GROSS !!!
Re: #3, SN….
Summary quote from your first link:
“Scientists are still arguing about fat, despite a century of research, because the regulation of appetite and weight in the human body happens to be almost inconceivably complex, and the experimental tools we have to study it are still remarkably inadequate. This combination leaves researchers in an awkward position. To study the entire physiological system involves feeding real food to real human subjects for months or years on end, which is prohibitively expensive, ethically questionable (if you’re trying to measure the effects of foods that might cause heart disease) and virtually impossible to do in any kind of rigorously controlled scientific manner.”
Your second link is a blog with a topic/agenda. Not a good place to make health decisions from.
As for fat, I’ve chosen to minimize all animal fat. I primarily choose Canola oil (Rape Seed oil), but other (preferably unmodified) vegetable oils are ok as well. We need some fat in our diet, and no fats whatsoever are created equal. Broad statements like all fat is bad or all fat is good is just bad science, not unlike what is happening with world climate analyses.
After 6 years (heart attack) on my improved diet my heart condition, weight and overall health has improved a lot even though the poor amount of exercise I do remains the same.
You KNOW it’s bad when they can’t even make the PR picture look good.
I think people tend to forget, every thing in moderation. I love every thing about this, fried chicken, bacon, and cheese, to bad KFC doesn’t serve beer. However I don’t plan on eating one for every meal. Eat a “healthy” balanced diet, and exercise, and enjoy the occasional indulgence. Health Nazis lighten the f@ck up and eat a twinkie already.
I will be in line on 4/10. KFC Double Down? There’s an APpetite for that!
