Chicken, pizza, tacos. Pretty darn simple.
America is the undisputed world leader in junk food. The opportunity is ripe to take our expertise abroad. YUM has the equivalent of three Michelin stars- one for KFC, one for Pizza Hut, and one for Taco Bell!
They generate over $1 billion each year in cash from operations. They have a return on equity above 67%. They have more fast food outlets than anyone else (even McDonald's).

You are right. Just look around. with Pizza Hut, KFC, and Taco Bell. Not to mention all those great salty and sweet snack foods. More people pigging out than working out!
