Though this alone is very filling, all the protein and fat will instantly make you full.

Wow, disregarding the absurdity of the thing and the backwards health logic of KFC, you guys would pay 8 bucks (assuming tax and rounding up) for this? Why the fuck wouldn't you rather just buy 2 chicken sandwiches? (you can throw away the buns)
Plus it's fucking messy, half the point of a bun is to hold it all together and not get your hands all greasy.

I'm so sad that the only KFC in town closed a while back. Guess I wont get to try one.

I'm pretty sure vegans don't eat regular chicken sandwiches. But that's just my biased interpretation of his post.

Interesting fact: there is a minimum time required for your body to realize you have eaten enough and to make you feel full. I believe it's about 15 minutes from when you start eating. Your body literally has very high latency.

In addition, the kind of food you eat can affect how long it takes for you to feel full. For instance, glucose leads to a feeling of fullness faster than fructose does. (This is one of many reasons why people believe fructose -- which is loaded into almost everything in the US in lieu of surcrose/glucose, thanks to cheap high fructose corn syrup -- causes people to become fat much more than sucrose or glucose does. The widespread use of high fructose corn syrup in the US is potentially a much bigger problem than anything KFC contributes, imo. I believe the problem is much smaller in Canada because afaik, we don't have the corn subsidies or sugar import taxes that the US does.)
