Re: I wonder how much iodine is in KFC?
I really don't get the point of that article. Who would depend on fast food for any ...ummm, any nutrients whatsoever? Here's a goody: Eat huge amounts of KFC for the "cure":

Kentucky Fried Chicken is fighting breast cancer – one big pink bucket of chicken at a time.
Kentucky Fried Chicken has gone pink to raise awareness for
breast cancer. For every pink bucket purchased, KFC will donate 50 cents to the Susan G. Komen For the Cure organization.
(KFC)
In the latest incarnation of pink ribbon promotions, the prominent breast canceradvocacy group Susan G. Komen for the Cure has teamed up with KFC in a national "Buckets for the Cure" campaign which will run until May 23.
But while the endeavor guarantees to bring big money to the cause, this unlikely partnership is rustling more than a few feathers in the breast cancer community -- eating fatty foods, argue some detractors, increases the risk of breast cancer.
For each pink bucket of chicken purchased, KFC will donate 50 cents to Komen with the ultimate goal of $8 million -- which would be the single largest donation ever received by the organization.
The campaign has already raised $2 million in its first week alone.
While corporate partnerships like the "pink bucket" provide essential non-profit funding for breast cancer advocacy, Komen's current campaign raises the question among some critics: is pink promotion being taken too far?
