My 6mo twin DD's are EBF and just started rice cereal on the first. Everything has been going fine except this morning one of them had a diaper rash (lots of redness around her anus). I read this as one of the signs of an allergy. BUT I did just buy a different brand diaper yesterday (which they have used randomly before w/no issues). Do you think its the cereal or the diaper? Im ready to start...
This Question, This Is One Reason I Asked It " !!
Recently, I noticed that your Chicken Capital USA advertisements are using the Lynard Skynard song, Sweet Home Alabama. As a Kentuckian, I find this disturbing. Have you disowned Kentucky? Are you now Alabama Fried Chicken?

Honorable Ernie Fletcher, Governor of Kentucky:
It seems that KFC has disowned Kentucky. That was supposed to stand for Kentucky Fried Chicken, but now they are running advertisements using the song, Sweet Home Alabama as if it were Alabama Fried Chicken. Is there any truth to the rumor that they changed their name to only its initials because the Commonwealth has trademarked its name, and will not allow them to use it? If this is so, it may be why they wish to disassociate themselves from us. The entire world has heard of Kentucky because of that restaurant chain, and has a generally positive image of us. It would be a terrible shame if they have disowned Kentucky.

KFC responded this way:
Dear Mr. Brown
We appreciate that you took the time to contact us regarding one of our commercials. We are always happy to hear from our customers. In regards to your question as to why the song “Sweet Home Alabama” is being played in the background of this particular commercial, it is because it's Southern-inspired and that’s what KFC is all about.
Thank you again for contacting us.

So, KFC is now only Generically Southern Fried Chicken? This is not a denial that they have disowned Kentucky!
Here is the response I received from Governor Fletcher's office.
