KFC’s Summer Session radio show presented by Meatfree Monday supporter Pat Cash
A chicken-related message on the Meatless Monday Facebook page
Days after appointing former PETA supporter and vegetarian Benji Madden as its spokesman, KFC is to have its sponsored radio show co-hosted by tennis legend Pat Cash who is campaigning for the public not to eat meat on Mondays.
Cash, the former Wimbledon champion, is to co-host the KFC Summer Session drivetime show on Triple M.
The announcement of Cash for the KFC-sponsored show comes shortly after he was named as a celebrity supporter of Meatfree Monday – a campaign to persuade people to eat less meat.
Wait – isn’t chicken a type of meat? I don’t see a qualifier saying no ‘RED’ meat.
Time to fire the joke of an agency you are working with KFC…
This is a little confusing, so are KFC supporting us to boycott their products on Monday’s? seems like a counterproductive sponsorship to me, last time i checked chicken came from an animal…
All Pat wants is a little more Cash.
I see vegetarian recipes all the time that call for eggs and cheese, two commodities very much animal related. I had a friend in the dark ages who claimed to be a vegetarian to the core, yet he ate fish! Whatever you want to call fish, they are hardly vegetables.
Meatless Monday means that you get to eat meat six days a week, and should not be confused with Meet-less Mondays, which is a new office practice, designed to prevent having to crowd into the board room with a pad, pen and a cup of coffee, first thing in the morning of the first day back after a weekend of barbecuing meat and boozing.
KFC still serves vegetables, though I personally lament the passing of the squeaky bean mix, and therefore (largely via chips and coleslaw) it is possible to shop at KFC and be a part of the Meatless Monday brigade.
It is just a matter of flexibility .
Oh , by the way, chicken is meat………. so is fish.
Much as I’m not a fan of KFC and am enjoying a bit of a giggle at their expense, I have to say that in the case, a large part of the blame belongs on their spokespeople. I think it’s terrible that Benji Madden and Pat Cash are willing to be so loose with their morals – one minute they are supporting PETA and asking the nation to eat less meat, and the next minute they are endorsing one of the worst offenders of bad animal treatment. It just goes to show that these guys don’t really care about the causes they support, as they are clearly willing to jump on any bandwagon for cash.

Okay I get it KFC. Not chicken on Mondays. No problem.
Does nobody at KFC know how to google?
Just goes to show that vegetarians and vegans have no morals – and no brains.

Hang on a second; Eat less meat doesn’t equal the message of the “Meat is Murder Mob” One may support a meat works and still agree that eating less meat is a good idea.
I am very much in favour of good scotch whiskey, yet I detest drunks and drunkenness.
I support boxing as a sport and even as an art form, but I detest physical violence.
Surely a fellow can support Meatless Monday and still enjoy a chop at the weekend barbecue?
