KFC's new menu item tastes like chicken (but isn't)

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."

As a shrinking number of Transportation Security Administration agents work to keep hourslong security lines moving despite not being paid, President Donald Trump stepped into the fray Saturday, announcing he will send Immigration and Customs Enforcement officers to airports by Monday if Congress doesn’t agree to a plan to end the partial government shutdown.
