One of the world's most popular food chain Kentucky Fried Chicken just opened shop this month in Nairobi.
Popular in the US and in many places around the world for its fried chicken, KFC has now ventured into kenya and is set to expand even further.
So how will the local kenyans take it.Judging from the facebook fan page, many bleeding with excitement and are ready to queue in order to have some of that chicken."But i thought ken-chic was enough?" one would ask.Well, local fast food restaurants have not reached the standards of KFC and the likes of MacDonalds,BurgerKing and Starbucks.For one they are not consistent as their counterparts in US.
It is going to be rather interesting considering what many are predicting to be the outcome of this venture.High levels of obesity is one of them.This has been seen in the United States where many fast food empires exist, kids becoming obese due to overeating of food which has little nutritional value.Never the less,people are responsible for their own eating habits.What about our kids who need to learn to appreciate good food.Offered a meal many would choose to go to kfc setting aside their local healthy diet.
Ironically, there is an ongoing famine in kenya right now.It would be rather striking to witness obesity and famine in the same land.
Anyway we welcome KFC to Kenya and it's kind of cool to speak of kfc in Nairobi.
