Quin Hillyer: Suit against KFC is fowl play

Kentucky Fried Chicken wants to kill all its customers in Washington, D.C.

That’s the basic thrust of the wacky legal argument offered by the misnamed Center for Science in the Public Interest to justify a lawsuit it filed against KFC last month. The stated aim of the suit is to force the fast-food giant to stop using partially hydrogenated oil to cook its food. CSPI says the oil is full of trans fats, which it says “kills roughly 50,000 Americans per year.”
