suppressed chicken histories

While we're on the tenuous Pynchon connection front, I was sent this recently,
can anyone confirm this claim?

 KFC has been a part of the American tradition 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 surprising facts.
First of all, has anybody noticed that just recently, 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 beaks, no feathers, and no feet. 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 or the removal of beaks and feet. 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.
