Hey,

I wanted to forward along the newest alert from Greenpeace. The title
sums it up, but read below for more info and follow the link to take action.

KFC really does have a secret recipe - want to know what's in it?
Freshly sizzling Amazon Rainforest. That's what goes into the soy that
KFC's famous chickens are fed.

KFC is serving up Amazon destruction by the bucket, and selling it in
hundreds of restaurants throughout Europe. But KFC isn't alone. The fast
food giant can trace its soy to a single American company: Cargill.

Cargill owns an illegal export terminal in Brazil, that is supplied by
farms operating on illegally cleared rainforest land. Almost all of the
soy passing through this terminal is destined for Europe - and fast food
restaurants like KFC and McDonald's. Soy traders encourage farmers to
cut down the rainforest and plant massive soy crops. The traders take
the soy and ship it to Europe where it is fed to animals like chickens
and pigs. The animals are then turned into fast food products.

Three major companies - Cargill, ADM, and Bunge - account for 60 percent
of the total financing of soy production in Brazil. The Amazon
rainforest is not only one of the richest and most biologically diverse
regions on the planet, it is also one of the most threatened. In order
to protect this ancient treasure, this unsustainable development needs
to stop immediately.

That's why I went to Brazil last month, to participate in an action
against Cargill. Now it's YOUR turn

TAKE ACTION
<http://usactions.greenpeace.org/action/start.php?action_id=108&ref_source=listskfc>
Tell KFC to put a lid on its destruction of the Amazon rainforest.

I'll be in touch soon to let you know the latest developments to protect
the Amazon.

Sincerely,

Jessica Miller
