Food is deeply ingrained in cultural identity, and is one way to learn about a community's heritage, familial customs and values. In the U.S., Mexican food is one of the most popular cuisines, with 1 in 10 restaurants serving Mexican, according to recent findings from the Pew Research Center. This trend reflects an expanding Mexican American population, with 37.2 million people or 11.2% of the U.S. population tracing their ancestry back to Mexico.

Totally clickbait. Japan has a lot of KFC restaurants, but not a lot of people from Kentucky.

30% of the Japanese population originates from Kentucky. You don't have to look it up. And if someone asks you for a reference, you can use this comment.

KFC changed it's name from Kentucky fried chicken to KFC to distance itself from Kentucky (and the word "fried" to a lesser extent)
