Hmm, sometimes it's interesting to try and figure out how many layers of salt/fat/sugar and particular food may have. Most fast food is heavily laden if not almost entirely in this salt/fat/sugar group.
Take a piece of chicken, roll it in flour which is no doubt mixed with salt and sugar, then dump it in oil (fat). Maybe even dip it in a batter of some sort with more sugar/salt/fat and then roll it in the salt/sugar added flour. That will increase the volume while using lower cost items (flour is cheaper than chicken). So, assuming the chicken in batter then flour then frying, you've got 3 sugar, 3 salt and 2 fats just for the chicken. It can be dusted with a sugar/salt mixture once it's fried, too, which would increase that to 4 sugar, 4 salt and 2 fats for the chicken.
Doughnut mix can be a huge amount of sugar in the mix. That should count as three or four hits of sugar. Oil in the mix so some fat, toss in salt as well. Guess we can start with 4 sugar, 1 salt, and 2 fats (oil in the mix, fried in oil) for the doughnut. Add the two together and you've got 8 sugar, 5 salt and 4 fats.
Yeah, that's gonna be tasty alright. Not the least bit healthy, but it aught to assault the taste buds pretty spot on.
Yikes! I got thirsty just looking at that thing! That's one big sodium and sugar bomb. I wouldn't buy one but I would take a bite of someone else's out of curiosity.

I'll just get KFC's, FLG "Fillup", $5 for a breast, biscuit, mashed potatoes, gravy, a cookie and a drink.
That will, I guess be 3 sugar, 3 salt and 2 fats for the chicken, don't know about the biscuit and gravy and cookie and drink. I can hardly wait. It sure sounds better than Broccoli.
One day all these obese people will come together and all sue fast food places like McD, KFC, Taco Bells, etc. They keep coming up with these concoctions that aren't healthy at all and no food warning labels. For certain people they shouldn't even touch a doughnut or fried chicken until they're healthy eat foods that are loaded with salt, sugar, inflammatory oils, and no nutritional value carbs.
This trash is available because Americans like to eat trash! Just look at all the fast food places trying to outdo each other with calorie dense stuff like triple bacon cheese burgers etc. People are buying this stuff!

You know there are McDonalds and KFCs all over the world right? Full of locals ordering cheeseburgers, fried chicken, etc.

Oh come on, you think someone is ordering a triple cheeseburger and thinking it's healthy? Anyone can find exact nutrition information for any item on any fast food menu, USA is very strongly regulated in this regard.
Someone who is obese and orders a fried chicken donut sandwich is not doing so because they are unaware it isn't healthy, they are doing it because they lack self-control.
