A class action suit has been filed against KFC, the fast food fried chicken restaurant chain. 
 
The Center for Science in the Public Interest says that its fried chicken has a tremendous amount of trans fat, which is a very unhealthy type of fat. They want KFC to be ordered not to use the type of oil in frying that contains trans fat (partially hydrogenated oil) or at least to post warning signs. 
 
The restaurant maintains it has a variety of choices on its menu and that they provide nutrition information. Other experts think the aim of the suit is good but that legislation is a better way to achieve it, since responsibility for the US food supply rests with the FDA.
