Interesting article recently in NYT about KFC in Ghana: https://www.nytimes.com/2017/10/02/h...c-obesity.html

It's considered very sophisticated and modern there (and probably in other countries throughout the world), but of course it is nutrition-poor food and it is contributing to an obesity epidemic.

When I first came to the US, I loved KFC too. A lot of food technology goes into designing junk food that people will crave and which can be produced with cheap ingredients. But on a plane? The smell would make me sick today.

The fact that JAL serves it is hardly a good argument---in fact it is a humiliating thing for Japan given that Japanese foods are some of the healthiest.
