If the Kentucky recipe is so complex ands secret

I was reading this article http://news.yahoo.com/s/ap/20080909/ap_on_re_us/kfc_secret

And it occured to me, o my god, if no one was able to find out Kentucky secret or Coca’s one for decades, how long it would take us to find the MPB one…My question invovles an affrimation…the damn cure recipe existe, for sure, but who is the smart that gonna uncover it ? and if he does (Cotsarelis may be) can he keep it secret like KFC with its chicken recipe ? Fortunately the health industry has other laws…
