With menu items that few American would recognize, the fast food chain KFC is booming in China. Items like bamboo shoots and lotus root are served alongside the more traditional KFC of the Colonel Harland Sanders fried chicken. The country is already home to 1200 outlets with more planned.

Theres only like a 1000 pandas left in the wild Their habitat was already pretty much gone long before KFC even came to China. I wouldnt bet on Pandas living outside of zoos in the future even without mcbamboo shoot.
Have you ever seen bamboo grow? Its like a weed on steriods. I doubt that the Panda's will be effected.

I see...so it is a conspiracy also for Americans to choose to either eat fatty foods or healthy foods... i mean the government is pointing a gun at Americans and making them eat fatty foods only right?...or to drink a six pack and watch sports on tv meanwhile they grow fat instead of doing exercise....

Well Muaddib our government does not regulate any fast food industry the attempts at them doing something about it has been slow.
That is why our society is one of the fattest in the world.
Fast food industry is big business.

I'm 29 and male, I was brought up on MCDonalds and White Castle, I now eat fast food maybe once a month, I exercise at least every second day and am 5' 8" weigh 130 pounds. I have never been over 140. People who are intelligent know that eating value sized giant burgermeals everyday is going to make them fat. Others ignore the risk and do it anyway and get fat. How is it a conspiracy and why should the govt. regulate the fast food industry? It is a product just like alcohol or candy in that it is a guilty pleasure, not to be abused. What regulation would you suggest? Maybe for people to have a card to punch every time they eat fast food and when its over a certain amount they get refused service? Of course not.

i agree. KFC's recipe will probably be stolen and then the person who stole it will be arrested for a very long time.
