"Each time you drive up to kfc, the synaptic connections linking everything together get stronger and pick up new cues. This is how habits are formed. Typically, when we learn something, the connections stabilize and the levels of dopamine tail off over time.

"You will have lots of choices for garbage foods: McDonald's, Burger King, kfc,Wendy's, Denny's,Taco Bell, Dunkin' Donuts, and more, but you will be hard put to find a restaurant that will serve you fresh vegetables or fish, or free-range chicken.

"Haagen-Dazs Vanilla Almond ice cream, and takeout from kfc. Such is the global food market in the early 21st century."

"As HCA swallowed up hospitals, Forbes enthused that under Massey "HCA dispenses health care as profitably as kfc did drumsticks." After steady growth through the 1970s, HCA took off when the for-profit boom exploded in the 1980s. During this period, HCA and other chains competed to acquire nonprofit hospitals and clinics everywhere, large and small. Soon many nonprofits central to the health of their communities were converted to investor-owned properties. Health care conglomerates made thousands of transactions, buying independent hospitals and then selling them, often in rapid succession." - Donald L. Barlett and James B.
