Mark Morford has real literary talent.  The article was worth the time to
read just for this quote:

In other words, KFC wants the Fish Snacker to be officially sanctioned for
those days when Catholics don't eat meat but when they apparently have zero
problem shoving a nasty frozen deep-fried chemical-blasted hunk of
cholesterol and salt and fat and binding agents and mystery gunk made by one
of the skankiest junk-food purveyors in America into their bloodstreams. You
know, just the way Jesus intended.
