'Absolutely Disgraceful': Woman Feels 'Discriminated' By KFC Over Lack Of 'Meat-Less' Options
Hard done by not finding anything vegetarian and vegan on the menu, the woman says she felt "discriminated" at the discovery.
If you happen to go to any KFC outlet around the world, there are high chances of the menu containing abundant non-vegetarian options. After all, Kentucky Fried Chicken (KFC), as the name suggests, is known for specialising in fried chicken.
As the popular food chain is not known for its vegetarian endevaours, it is certainly a path less traveled by people who are vegan. Yet, a couple in England took there chances to grab a meal, only to find there are no meat-free options available.

The woman was looking forward to trying the vegetarian burger or veggie rice box at KFC, however, she was told by staff that the plant-based item had been discontinued on their menu.
A KFC spokesperson told Devon Live it was a shame the customer had left disappointed.
"We never want our fans to leave feeling disappointed. It's always amazing to see how popular our Original Recipe Vegan Burger is, but due to less demand from people out and about at the start of this year, and our focus on running our restaurants responsibly with smaller teams, we prioritised the vegan burger in areas where it was a massive hit," the spokesperson explained.
