'Chicken wars': France's highly political fast-food fight

In this edition of Entre Nous, we take a look at France's "chicken wars", or the fast-food fight over a roasted chicken chain that's become highly political. We also dive into the nation's love of fast food, and in particular chicken. Finally, we discuss some of the many expressions in French that pay tribute to the most Gaulois of birds: the Gallus gallus, or "le poulet".
