The People for the Ethical Treatment of Animals has ended their five-year protest against Kentucky Fried Chicken restaurants in Canada after they agreed to phase out suppliers known to treat poultry with cruelty. To celebrate, PETA members dressed in lettuce bikinis gathered at a Queen Street West KFC and handed out free samples of a soy-based chicken replacement that will soon be available across Canada. The Post’s Matthew Coutts, who believes everything should taste like chicken, was there.

12:06 First impression, disappointment. They are not even dressed in real lettuce — a fashion marvel I was interested in seeing in action. Green, frilly skirts and stable tops adorn the two women wandering through the crowd instead.
12:10 A leering streetcar driver misses a green light. Two guys chatter about “humane treatment of chickens” as they approach. I’m starting to think the scene is all part of the vegetarian “agenda.”
