KFC's new menu item tastes like chicken (but isn't)
CNN
Kentucky Fried Chicken is going to sell a new menu item that contains no chicken — but tastes like it does.
The new plant-based fried chicken nugget alternative, called Beyond Fried Chicken, will be added to menus nationwide beginning Monday, Jan. 10 for a limited time. It marks the first instance of a large national chain selling plant-based chicken products rather than the hamburger or sausage alternatives that have become increasingly common, the chain said.
"It's time" said KFC US President Kevin Hochman in an interview with CNN Business. He added that the chain's customers want to "eat less animal protein but don't want to give up comfort food."

A little-known civil rights office in the Department of Education that helps resolve complaints from students across the country about discrimination and accommodating disabilities has been gutted by the Trump administration and is now facing a ballooning backlog, a workforce that’s in flux and an unclear mandate.
