Taco Hell

[ROX]

I think if you actually believed that Taco Bell served 100% beef... well... never mind. 

Lawsuit inspired announcement has already come out.  Taco Bell "beef" only contains 35% beef and by government standards cannot be referred to as "beef".  It's 35% meat and 65% Cod knows what.

YIKES!  Taco Bell?  

Look around you local area and you will find authentic Mexican (unless you live way out in the sticks somewhere).

NO.....yellow cheese.
NO.....yellow cheese dip.
NO.....Tex-Mex garbage/crap.

We are lucky here and have 4 authentic spots and 2 are like sitting down inside an eatery in Cabo or in the Yucatan--NOT the tourist places---the places the locals eat at.  The one with square plates is HEAVEN.

I've gone to a Mexican restaurant in Mexico and have had all three things you just listed. Does that mean crappy Mexican food is authentic American food? Now I'm confused.

Just because it was a taco bell in Mexico doesn't make it Mexican food.

   Isn't that what this whole thread is about?

Anyway... "with the remaining 65 percent containing water, wheat oats, soy lecithin, maltodrextrin, anti-dusting agent and modified corn starch"

Oh come on you wimps... die

the best way to combat the long term ill effects of consuming non-organic chemicals as food is to consume more non-organic chemicals to patch the problem...

1) Eat petroleum based foods
2) get cancer 20 years later
3) take drugs to deal with the cancer (and possible other side effects all better than death)
4) smoke weed and make yourself eat, take tons of opiates so ward off the pain & hope your hair grows back.
5) get cancer again but a different kind.
6) hope they find some more chemicals to combat the current problems that only have the side effect of creating more problems later.
7) die!

Always thought their products tested like cr@p. And bland at best Probably what the other 65% is.
im not surprised in the least.

35% Beef, 65% Misc., 100% Awesome.

I don't give a damn what its made of.  It tastes good and its cheap, therefore I eat it.

These two quotes say it all

I live a hour away from the border. No way in taco hell I'm stepping into that place.

I'm actually full blown Mexican and am very well acquainted with the food. In mexico i've never seen nachos,hard tacos,burritos,or that pizza/taco stuff. Now the foods do vary from state to state so there might be "texmex" lookin' food more up north. and psh the food may not be anything like the real thing,but is sure is good and cheap!

Ok...can't say that anyone could be surprised...been hearing this for years. Me and the g/f tried some authentic Mexican food this weekend, it was a place that had great reviews and we walked in and all of the customers were Latino so we took this as a good sign.  We ordered, and when they brought our plates out to us my g/f about ran out the door .  It literally looked like someone had thrown up into a burrito lol.  I joked that I should have stocked up on toilet paper and Rolaids(women love poop jokes...always  ).  We ate it and vowed never to go back.  It wasn't terrible, but the presentation left much to be desired.

35% beef is better than 100% chicken!!

[fbWldcat]

So I just watched the Today Show. They brought a woman on who thought that since Taco Bell has only 35% beef, the people who DEPEND on it for protein... would suffer. Alright, guys... How many of you go to Taco Bell for it's nutritional value?


I WANT THE FACTS!
