Headlines and links on Oprah Winfrey's website: "Live your best life" "Spirit" "Health" "Elizabeth Edwards fights cancer" "KFC"? Why doesn't that last one fit in with the others?

Oprah Winfrey is giving away free KFC meals on her website, a company that promotes unhealthy food and lifestyle, one that has consistently ignored concerns of animal cruelty. [www.oprah.com/kfc] With this petition we hope that Oprah Winfrey will consider doing another show on factory farming, animal welfare, and the food industry and health in the near future.

We are terribly disappointed with your decision to give away free meals from KFC, a company that promotes unhealthy food and lifestyle, and one that has consistently ignored animal cruelty concerns. [www.oprah.com/kfc]

If you wanted to give away meals, a noble deed, you might have been better off choosing Subway, Baja Fresh, or another company that promotes healthier living by at least providing a choice for the customer. For most of our American health concerns, prevention is the educational key to solving the problem. This recent promotion has only helped promote a fast food company that helps make people sick, fat, and unhealthy, a company that also disregards and mistreats animals. We hope you will reconsider alliances like the one with KFC. And we hope you will consider doing another show soon on factory farming and the food industry, as well as healthy and humane living.
