United States: Starting tomorrow, August 27, Kentucky Fried Chicken will be serving vegan "chicken" entrees at one of its Atlanta, Georgia restaurants. If successful, KFC will consider offering this option nationwide.
Note: The sauces are not vegan, and I imagine that KFC will be deep-frying the veg-chicken in the same fryer as the actual chicken. Like other Beyond Meat offerings, the vegan KFC "chicken" is primarily intended for omnivore customers. According to Beyond Meat, 90% of veg-meat consumers are omnivores: https://www.self.com/story/impossible-burger-beyond-meat . This is a good thing! We want people to eat more plants and less meat.
