For the sake of argument, I wonder what's a more unhealthy effect: Those who choose to eat fast food, or the deaths and ill-effects of the Foxconn and other 'labour camps' which manufacture Apple products.
Not sure if they are all over Switzerland but in our part of the world we have guggeli tag. In baar it's a Monday and a man in a little mobile kiosk sets up with his roasted chickens. They are roasted in so much dripping oil they taste divine! Another big plus is you don't have to deal with horrid KFC chips or corn.
The problem with the KFC name in Switzerland is that the franchisee company in Zürich who had a KFC on Bahnhofplatz/Bahnhofquai went bankrupt decades ago (approx 30 years), but it was betrügerischer Konkurs and such things take a while. There are uncountable franchise ventures active in Switzerland, which shows that it in principle is rather easy
In our family we call it "never learn" because we eat it about once every two years or so, feel like crap after eating it, and say "never again." And so the cycle continues....
Are you implying that KFC can't or doesn't want to return to Switzerland because of the fraudulent bankruptcy of a single franchisee thirty years ago? Are you serious?
In case of Zürich, the successful KFC went bankrupt due to the local owners having been crooks. The successful Grütfarm (Güggeli&Poulet) was given up by Mövenpick as it did not fit into that chain AND had to give way to a very profitable real-estate-project. This double-loss is why those mobile chicken-sellers are so successful. It is only a matter of time when one of them goes into big business, under whatever name. The brand Grütfarm would have a good sound on the western side of the Zürisee, while the brand KFC might work well in Zch downtown.
unfortuntely absolutely YES ! look at the ongoing legel struggles around the Swissair name. However as the KFC trouble was somewhere in the 1980ies, and the legal conflicts more than 25 years back, it should now be possible again.
A new restaurant of the kind
however might be possibly established somewhere in Adliswil, Kilchberg, Rüschlikon, Thalwil, or alternatively in Glattbrugg or Rümlang. And then gradually spreading out
A new name like GGP-- Grütfarm-Güggeli-Park might be used
variety is always good. And those obese children did not get obese due to this or that sort of food but due to the quanities eaten. I remember last winter a place where there was a group of teenagers, and a boy of about 16, as heavy as three of his friends combined, was permanently eating something somehow for more than an hour and a half.
Poulet&Güggeli anyway are not necessarily "fast-food" anyway. Many people in the days of KFC Zürich opposed to them using far too much fat
You mean a KFC, Taco Bell, and MacDonalds on every street corner? Is that your definition of variety?
These foods are addictive (as people keep telling me, they can't help themselves) and people do get obese due to this sort of food.
But you're right, there's not much variety in Swiss restaurants (tedious is the word I have in mind) but there are some great ideas in the U.S. that would be better to have over here than industrial KFC.
A standard Fried Chicken shack for example, which, when KFC, which is not literally on every street corner in the US, there are far more Mom and Pop grease pits to fill the void.
