Vegetarians and foodie fans can access the new blog post here:

http://thedailyradish.com/the-dangers-lurking-in-your-grocery-store-chicken/

In their latest blog post, Jenny Sangler announces some news that she said makes her worry.

It concerns a recent study conducted by the Physicians Committee for Responsible Medicine, which found that around half of all raw chicken products purchased at grocery stores in the U.S are contaminated with dangerous E. coli bacteria.

She also mentioned that the PCRM are known to advocate a vegan diet. Their study concluded that of the 120 raw chicken products they purchased, 48% contained E. coli, often meaning that contamination by feces is present.

Jenny links her readers to a New York Times article in which the President of PCRM claimed that most people are completely unaware that the chicken products they purchase contain contaminated feces.

However, as Jenny then points out, many believe that the study is actually invalid, designed instead to scaremonger and promote the vegan lifestyle.

While the jury may be out on the validity of this study, a recent study in the UK found that a fifth of all raw chickens bought in UK supermarkets carry bacteria that cause food poisoning, such as salmonella, listeria and campylobacter Jenny says.

She goes on to admit that, if she still ate meat, shed be starting to get a little worried. She also claims that she does not in any way feel superior to meat eaters and that she does not want to come across as a smug vegetarian. However, she does worry when she hears of reports such as this one.

Whatever you think of the PCRM study, I, for one, am thankful for the fact that they have brought this subject out into the open Jenny adds, concluding her latest post.

Dublin, OH (PRWEB) January 28, 2009

Atlanta, GA-based Church’s Chicken — a recognized leader in the chicken quick-serve restaurant segment — has entered into an agreement with MindLeaders, Inc. of Dublin, OH whereby MindLeaders NEHA-Certified Professional Food Manager training will be delivered to company-owned restaurant trainees via the internet as computer-based, self-paced learning. Upon completion of the Certified Professional Food Manager training (endorsed by NEHA- the National Environmental Health Association), store manager candidates will undertake certification examinations administered by Prometric. Passage of the examination will result in a nationally recognized designation of ‘Certified Professional Food Manager’.

“Food Safe handling practices are taken very seriously at Church’s. With increasing demands for Food Safety certification we searched for a provider that could satisfy our diversified needs cost effectively. MindLeaders was the ‘hands down’ choice due to their user friendly interface, bi-lingual engaging content, sophisticated tracking and superior customer service and support. Feature for feature, MindLeaders offered the best value,” said Jim Parrish, Church’s EVP and Chief Operating Officer.

Franchise-owned Church’s restaurants–responsible for their own, individual training programs–may purchase the MindLeaders training program for their managers and hourly staffs. Additionally, MindLeaders offers a Professional Food Handler course for non-manager, hourly staff.

“We’re delighted that Church’s Chicken has selected MindLeaders for their training needs.” says Bill Vear, MindLeaders Sales Director. “Food safety and proper food handling are important issues to the American consumer. MindLeaders is confident that our close relationships with the National Environmental Health Association and Prometric testing has resulted in our being able to deliver a curriculum that will prove enormously valuable to Church’s Chicken and its 156 million annual store visitors.”

Big Chicken Initiates Name-Change For “The WorldÂ’s Biggest And Busiest Airport!”

Posted on by
Reply

ATLANTA, GA (PRWEB) August 13, 2003

Honorable ‘PEACE-lovingÂ’ citizens throughout the City of Atlanta, the State of Georgia, and ALL over the Earth are being invited to sign a new Internet Peace-petition to assist in renaming “The WorldÂ’s Biggest And Busiest Airport” — Hartsfield Atlanta Airport! The Friends of the BIG Chicken Association, to celebrate their 10th anniversary, has been looking for a ‘courageousÂ’ project to sponsor. In light of this, the project that has been selected is the “GKC” International Airport Petition (the ‘GKCÂ’ representing internationally known Nobel Peace Prize recipients… Gandhi, King, and Carter). The City of Atlanta is becoming known internationally as “Atlanta- The City of PEACE!”

At the new Internet petition site (http://www.GKC-Airport.com) you may click the “View Current Signatures” link to see who has signed. Although the petition is still very new, so far there are individuals signing from these 29 USA states: California, Michigan, Washington DC, Oregon, Texas, Wisconsin, Colorado, New York, Illinois, North Carolina, Virginia, Georgia, Connecticut, Arkansas, Pennsylvania, Oklahoma, Nevada, South Carolina, Mississippi, Florida, Arizona, Ohio, Massachusetts, Louisiana, Hawaii, Washington State, and Tennessee. Plus 41 countries of the Earth are already represented: including Germany, Australia, France, Indonesia, Finland, Bangladesh, Korea, Romania, Peru, Luxembourg, Tanzania, Mexico, Liberia, Iran, Phillipines, Trinidad-West Indies, Czech Republic, Ecuador, Ireland, Russia, Guinea, Switzerland, Malaysia, Eritrea, United States, Gabon, Bulgaria, Nigeria, Canada, Holland, Mauritania, India, Kenya, United Kingdom, and Zaire.

This new Internet petition serves the ’cause of peace’ well, and also promotes Atlanta as being an international city, and a peaceful city!!! The petition sponsors are NOW inviting ALL Public Relations and Advertising companies (in metro-Atlanta, and everywhere!) to offer their talented assistance in bringing the “GKC” International Airport Petition to the LOCAL, STATEWIDE, REGIONAL, NATIONAL AND INTERNATIONAL MEDIA CIRCUITS. Whatever promotion they want to offer in assistance of renaming the airport to honor Gandhi, King, and Carter will be welcomed! Let’s ALL work together to provide our home, Mother Earth, with a Capital of PEACE! Our goal is a minimum of 10,000,000 signatures!!! The goal is to unite millions of PEACE lovers around the world who can sign the petition at:

http://www.GKC-Airport.com

Considering that Dulcinea the BIG Chicken (the sponsoring organizationÂ’s namesake) has as her lifeÂ’s mission to teach others about becoming more courageous, the Friends of the BIG Chicken Association wanted to select a project that would best represent ‘COURAGE’. As world famous author CS Lewis says, “COURAGE is not simply one of the virtues. Courage is the form of every virtue at its testing point!” The beautiful lives of these 3 internationally respected Nobel Peace Prize winners represent COURAGE very well! Let’s HONOR them! Petition author, Johnny D’Farmer, has climbed the tallest communication tower in metro-Atlanta to promote the GKC International Airport name change. For a brief story on this go to this Channel 11 news link: http://www.11alive.com/news/news_article.aspx?storyid=35960

Regarding the renaming of the airport, presently, the names of two very worthy (yet only regionally known) former mayors are now being considered. Current City of Atlanta mayor, Shirley Franklin, has appointed a 17-member commission to search for proper ways to honor former Atlanta Mayors Ivan Allen Jr., and Maynard Jackson Jr., both of whom died recently. But considering that Atlanta is such an internationally respected city, the supporters of the “GKC” Intl. Airport Petition would like individuals of considerable international recognition, contribution, and accomplishment to be selected (Gandhi, King, and Carter).

Martin Luther King Jr. & Jimmy Carter are from Georgia, so it is NATURAL to want honor them! Jimmy Carter is the MOST productive former US President in the history of our country! And regarding Martin Luther King Jr., on August 28, 1963 he blessed us ALL with his GREAT “I Have A Dream!” speech! So, to assist in celebrating the 40th Anniversary of his GREAT speech (and his 75th birthday), it is natural to want to honor him as BEST we can! And for powerful international diplomacy, the East can be “married” to the West when Gandhi is honored too… hence: “GKC” International Airport!

Why honor Gandhi too? Because Martin Luther King Jr. was his MOST productive ‘student’, and author Sheshrao Chavan declares: “If the stature of men and women is to be measured by the fact that their ideas progress with increasing validity and momentum as time passes farther and farther beyond their own life, Mahatma Gandhi— “The Man of the Millennium” stands in lonely eminence! The ideas and actions which Gandhi placed before the world are being acknowledged as capable of finding solutions to some of the most pressing issues faced by humankind as we move towards a new millennium in which wealth generation, political organization, social ordering and spiritual creativity are undergoing a revolutionary transformation!”

For greater peace within yourself, your community, and in ALL the world, think: “GKC” International Airport!

The Friends of the BIG Chicken Association was founded in 1993 in response to the threat by KFC (Kentucky Fried Chicken) that they would tear down the 55Â’-BIG Chicken Statue, and NOT rebuild it. With the professional support of STAR 94 Radio DJ– Mr. Steve McCoy, the grassroots effort of thousands around the world was successful in convincing KFC to rebuild the BIG Chicken statue. Johnny DÂ’Farmer, chairman of the board (aka John Randolph Naugle) is a professional clown who co-founded the non-profit: Friends of the BIG Chicken Assoc. He has donated his time and talent to 100+ non-profit organizations throughout metro-Atlanta, performed at the White House, and also has founded 2001: An Earth Odyssey (which unites environmental and humanitarian initiatives). In addition to this, he was concerned enough about the well-being of his community that he campaigned to be elected Mayor of Marietta, Georgia in 1993 & 1997.

Chicago’s Home of Chicken and Waffles Files Lawsuit Against La-Van Hawkins et al., for Fraud

Posted on by

Chicago, IL (PRWEB) November 25, 2011

La-Van Hawkins, Chairman of Emerging Markets & Development Group L.L.C., is a convicted felon who has served time in federal prison for failing to send payroll taxes for his employees to the government. Hawkins business partner, Jerry Kleiner, restaurateur and owner of Carnivale in Chicagos West Loop(http://www.carnivalechicago.com), has been named in the lawsuit.The final defendant in the lawsuit is Regional Manager of E.M.D.G., L.L.C., Robert Doyle. According to the lawsuit, Doyle has been included in the lawsuit as an alleged co-conspirator, who arranged and attended meetings with the Plaintiff, in which he and Hawkins gained trade secrets through trickery, and by creating fraudulent, misleading documents. There are five total counts ranging from fraud, breach of contract, breach of contract (non- compete agreement), torturous interference with prospective economic advantage, and breach of fiduciary duty. (Case Number 2011-L-011987 Cook County in IL)

Plaintiff Tonya Van Dyke, President of Chicagos Home of Chicken and Waffles, through attorney Randy Crumpton, filed the lawsuit against the defendants. Stated in the lawsuit, Van Dyke endured months of discrepancies and refusal from Hawkins to produce the funding and corresponding documentation needed to establish a partnership that would be formed in efforts to create additional restaurants under the soon to be formed entity The Boaz Group of Chicago LLC.

In the lawsuit it states, Van Dykes husband, Darnell Johnson, is the Operations Manager of C.H.O.C.W. II in Oak Park, IL, and oversees the entire operation. Johnson met and formed a relationship with La-Van Hawkins, who had introduced himself as Chairman of E.M.D.G ,L.L.C. Unbeknownst to Johnson or Van Dyke, Hawkinss corporation, E.M.D.G., L.L.C., had been dissolved by the state of Illinois one month prior to their initial meeting with Hawkins .Also mentioned in the lawsuit, was in this initial meeting that Hawkins claimed he could catapult the expansion of the C.H.O.C.W. brand to immense proportions. He also showed Johnson and attorney Kevin Taylor, along with attorney Randy Crumpton, a $ 150,000,000 letter of guarantee along with business financials showing E.M.D.G., L.L.Cs year to date earnings of more than $ 300,000,000. Citing a history of successful work with past eateries, Hawkins was able to exaggerate his relationships with multiple restaurants, making himself seem more credible; also pledging $ 15,000,000 of his $ 150,000,000 that he was to receive toward the construction of 15 C.H.O.C.W restaurants, in exchange for a 20% stake in the company. According to the lawsuit , after multiple meetings, a decision was made that Hawkins would not join VFJ Enterprises Inc., and C.H.O.C.W. would not be a part of his E.M.D.G, L.L.C, which he claimed included Pizza Hut, Taco Bell, A&W All American Food, KFC, and Hardees. This decision was a consequence of the fact that Van Dyke, Johnson and their attorney had no knowledge of Hawkins legal ties to the aforementioned companies. Therefore they decided to pursue their common interest in building the new C.H.O.C.W. restaurant ventures with a newly formed company, The Boaz Group of Chicago, with Tonya Van Dyke as CEO, and Hawkins as COO. Johnson and attorney Kevin Taylor, after their discussion with Van Dyke, not willing to be associated with E.M.D.G, L.L.C., preferring to keep their business dealings with Hawkins and the future restaurants under the corporate entity of The Boaz Group of Chicago.

The plaintiffs alleged in the lawsuit, during this period, meetings began to be hosted at Kleiners Carnivale restaurant. Hawkins introduced Kleiner as his business partner. In the lawsuit it states, that the plaintiffs were led to believe that Kleiner and Hawkins were jointly opening fast-food restaurants together, by bringing 80+ KFC restaurant and the Hardees franchises into the Chicagoland area. Also stated in the lawsuit, Johnson continued to disclose trade secrets to Hawkins and Kleiner at Kleiners restaurant, until Hawkins stated at one of the meetings, that he wanted the recipe for C.H.O.C.Ws Mix and Syrup for Ls Cheesecake Bistro, a restaurant that Kleiner and Hawkins were establishing in Detroit. Johnson and Van Dyke were never made aware that Kleiner was Hawkinss partner in the Ls Cheesecake Bistro venture, which was to be a signature restaurant. Johnson immediately refused give up the C.H.O.C. W waffle recipe and syrup and sharing business practices and trade secrets of C.H.O.C.W. Upon learning of Kleiners and Hawkins desire to use them for their own benefit, regarding the signature restaurant Ls Cheesecake Bistro. Hawkins went on to say that he would not invest in the $ 15,000,000 expansion of C.H.O.C.W., if Johnson didnt comply. The Plaintiff stated in the lawsuit that It became increasingly apparent that Hawkins sought to gain a relationship with Johnson in efforts to reestablish his credibility in the restaurant industry, and to use the newly acquired trade secrets for his personal business ventures.

One the major complaints stated in the lawsuit, was while Johnson attempted to close a deal in a prime Chicago location, Hawkins started holding secret meetings to cut Johnson out of the deal, and secure the prime location for himself, where he would build his own signature restaurant along with developing the land. One exhibit in the lawsuit shows, Hawkins exploited C.H.O.C.W. by adding their logo to his own personal business cards without their permission, under his E.M.D.G., L.L.C. which included on the card, logos for Pizza Hut, Taco Bell, KFC, A & W All American Food and Hardees; even after Hawkins was advised that the C.H.O.C.W name was not to be associated with E.M.D.G., L.L.C., and any of the affiliated mentioned companies. Doyle and Hawkins had no intention of joining in the formation of the Boaz Group of Chicago; instead, their sole intent was to gain confidential trade secrets and use the C.H.O.C.W. Restaurant name, along with the aforementioned companies, to help expand their appeal to investors to secure the funding of a $ 150,000,000 commitment. C.H.O.C.W. Is a popular eatery in the Chicagoland area. Through the manipulation, deceit, and, shady business practices of the Defendants, irreparable damage has been done to the esteemed comfort food establishment.

There’s a New Game in Town: Trivia Chicken Launches

Posted on by


New York, NY (PRWEB) May 02, 2011

Vraivitale Group is pleased to announce the launch of TRIVIA CHICKEN, mind-twisting trivia games fully contained in a series of books. Players will navigate a labyrinth of 24 ‘sorties’, comprised of approximately 125 questions which will test their knowledge on everything from Captain America to the dreaded Honey Badger.

Want an interesting answer? Then ask an interesting question, posits Casey Fahey, creator of TRIVIA CHICKEN. From which language does the word geek originate? Or maybe you’ve heard what a reporter busted John Quincy Adams doing in the buff? Perhaps you know who originally was slated to play Terry Benedict in lieu of Andy Garcia in Oceans Eleven? TRIVIA CHICKEN challenges us all to prove it! What makes Trivia Chicken so appealing is the combination of trivia with wagering it’s no-holds-barred trivia, where the rules can change at any time and point totals shift more often than the ruling council of the Klingon Empire, Fahey notes.

TRIVIA CHICKEN challenges players on a variety of topics, with titles including Heroes & Villains, Its Geek to Me, People, Places & Things, Presidents & Politics and Movies & Media. The newest title, Rock & Roll, is a special edition dedicated to the late Danny Federici, of E Street Band fame and proceeds from Rock & Roll will go directly to cancer research organizations. Fahey states philanthropy is hugely important to us and is part of everything that we do. Trivia Chicken is proof positive that we can do well by doing good this is a cornerstone of our make it happen philosophy.

A technology guru and entrepreneur often regarded as the Walking Wikipedia, Fahey was inspired to devise offbeat and intriguing questions after a grueling trivia marathon. A faster, smarter and self-contained trivia experience with no moving parts and innovative gameplay, TRIVIA CHICKEN is the new platinum standard in trivia games, appealing to everyones inherent bloodlust. Great for a solo run, the action turns particularly cutthroat when played in groups. When the dust settles, players will be left either wishing that they hadnt slept through class or gloating after a hard-fought victory.

TRIVIA CHICKEN is devoted to developing trivia games and books in a variety of languages and with different cultural points-of-view. Visit http://TriviaChicken.com or http://facebook.com/TriviaChicken for more information and to get a taste of TRIVIA CHICKEN for free online.
