A healthy seven-year-old girl was paralyzed & brain damaged from salmonella poisoning after eating a Chicken Twister from Kentucky Fried Chicken, a court recently heard.

Monika Samaan, 11, was seeking more than 10 million dollars in damages after the illness developed into acquired spastic quadriplegia and acquired profound intellectual disability and liver dysfunction.

Tony Bartley, SC, told the New South Wales Supreme Court that Monika’s condition was caused by salmonella on the chicken she ate from the KFC outlet at Villawood store.

“You will hear unsettling and disturbing practices in the kitchen, including the kitchen KFC operated at its Villawood store,” the Herald Sun quoted Bartley as saying.

He added: “If the store was particularly busy, if chicken was dropped on the floor near the burger station, it would on some occasions simply be put back.”

Bartley also said that a 16-year-old working at the shop would provide evidence that part of his job was to remove “feathers, blood and foreign objects from the chicken before it was cooked.”

KFC has been a part of our American traditions for many years. Many people, day in and day out, eat at KFC religiously. Do they really know what they are eating? During a recent study of KFC done at the University of New Hampshire, they found some very upsetting facts.

The company has changed their name. Kentucky Fried Chicken has become KFC. Does anybody know why? We thought the real reason was because of the "FRIED" food issue. It's not. The reason why they call it KFC is because they can not use the word chicken anymore. Why?

KFC does not use real chickens. They actually use genetically manipulated organisms. These so called "chickens" are kept alive by tubes inserted into their bodies to pump blood and nutrients throughout their structure. They have no feathers. Their bone structure is dramatically shrunk to get more meat out of them. This is great for KFC because they do not have to pay so much for their production costs.

There is no more plucking of the feathers. The government has told them to change all of their menus so they do not say chicken anywhere. If you look closely you will notice this. Listen to their commercials, I guarantee you will not see or hear the word chicken. I find this matter to be very disturbing. I hope people will start to realize this and let other people know.
