Up until I was 15, I was a vegetarian. I’m 21 now, and even though it’s only been 6 years of eating meat, I don’t feel the slightest bit guilty about turning over to the dark side.

Despite the fact that I am a vegetarian, I am going to write about Kentucky Fried Chicken anyway. Hey, I used to eat KFC when I was a kid (my mom absolutely loves fried chicken!).
