Here's the thing.
Most chemicals are not bad for you. Nitrogen fertilizers. Not bad for you. Dioxin. Not bad for you. Asbestos. Only if you practically bathe in it.
Most meat fillers are grain products. So I don't have a problem eating them. People have an irrational fear of things that are chemical. So it doesn't matter if it ain't beef.
Think about this. I'll serve you a drink that is only about %40 juice. The rest is rotted organic matter. Will you drink it? Probably not.
Now let me say. Do you want a Screwdriver. See. Bottoms up
hellz yeahz I eat taco bell...i had some last night...you can find ANY crap on teh internet about every day foods we eat...not that taco bell is an every day thing, but really come on...the FDA wouldn't allow taco bell to sell foods like this if it wasn't safe...anyways have you forgotten about hte spider eggs they found years ago...yeah fast food places are always bad with crap like that its why mcdonalds has $1 menu..honestly what grade A quality meat is only $1...
that's SICK! but it tastes so GOOOOOOOD! I used to have it once a week but I haven't had it in like a year now. health craze :P tastes awful. No preservatives, sugar, grains, dairy, fruit(but I get fruit back soon) or any product wrapped in plastic-- basically all fresh veggies, non fatty fish (like no salmon) and a few meats (white chicken meat is about it)
I never eat taco bell, I try to stay away as much as I can from anything that is processed and have recently gone organic, it so pisses me off what the government allow to go into our foods, all the msg,"spices" food colouring, glucose,fructose and everything else I can't even pronounce let allow spell. Food should be food and nothing more.
taco bell has never been my fav. but if I'm hungry and it's there, I'll still eat it. weird chemicals are in most processed food, and I prefer vegetarian food anyways, so yeah. I mean I think it's really good that people are finding out what's in the stuff at least so they can make their own choices.

I do not understand. So many people are going nuts about this. Before this lawsuit they did not know what was in it, so I don't see the issue. Do you know what's in a hot dog? Slim Jim? Kielbasa? Probably not. It's not like they're putting feces in there, it'll all be edible mass. If this were a high-end place I would understand, but it's Taco-f'ing-Bell. They have such a poor image that even if they used good meat the public wouldn't believe it.
Ah, this reminds me of when McDonalds in the UK came out with the statement 'Our fries are now 100% potato'...For about a month everyone boycotted because they were confused by what the hell was in fries before hand..But the hardcore fans will never stop. Personally, I'd rather just make my own and know where my food's coming from, but to each their own.
Well I tend to not go for Taco Bell much anymore ... now drunken eats makes it great right up there with White Castle... but sobertime eats well not so much I've had it maybe 2 times in the past year. Not because of the lack of meat it just is too expensive to fill you up. If I am craving mexican and am hungry I'll go to Chipotle and eat a monster burrito for $9 instead of spending $6 at Taco Smell where I'll be hungry again in an hour.
I don't really ever eat fast food anyway. Most fast food has violations like this anyway, and if they aren't violations, they're disgusting things that they hide, but are perfectly legal.
For example like before McDonald's had their nuggest made out of breast meat, it was a bunch of the refused meat that was left over, no one knew that, but it was legal and GROSS until they got sued.
If you stop eating taco bell because of this fact, you're stupid imo. It still tastes exactly the same as it did before this was brought to peoples' attention. If it still tastes the same, what does it matter how much is real meat and what's filler? And don't bring health into the argument, because the nutrition facts haven't changed either.
I've actually never been too crazy about any of Taco Bell's meat... It just tastes so cheap. It's just gross! And I've felt this way WAYYY before I heard about the "36% meat" thing...
I do like Taco Bell tho... a lot actually, but I always get the 7-Layer Burrito which is all veggies, rice, and beans... and then the Cheesy Bean and Rice Burrito is really good too. Sometimes I'll get Cheesy Nachos or a Fiesta Potato Bowl along with them. lol
Really can't go wrong with those...
It hasn't killed me yet, and it's still good as far as taste. Granted its nothing like a real taco, or any other authentic Mexican food. But when you have 5 back to back classes including night classes and work... you really learn to stop caring.
Yes I still eat it. Fact of the matter is if I am not getting sick and it tastes good then doesn't matter much to me. Also do you have a source to your 36%?
Taco bell says 88% beef: link
Either way, I don't care. I like taco bell and its food, and wish I could figure out the recipe to their lava sauce. Stuff is fan-freakin-awesome!
I found this issue kind of funny. It seemed like the only people that really cared about the meat was everyone that doesn't like eating there in the first place. Nobody I know that liked it actually cared, myself included.
your just another fool who bought the lawsuit scam.
I'll have a taco for you :)
I don't eat taco bell...weirdly. I just eat subway. their adorable monkey mascot is just too cute! and subway is healthy to me because I do not cook but no I don't eat taco bell but now I am glad I don't.
they very much take the phrase 'mystery meat' to heart... just like every other fast food joint. you can't trust what you're actually eating when you go out. which is why it's much better to cook your own food at home.
I never liked Taco Bell to begin with. The last time I ate at one was because it was supposed to be a combined Taco Bell/Pizza Hut. Unfortunately, the Pizza Hut half had gone out of business, but they hadn't taken down the sign :(
Taco Bell is WHERE ITS AT(:(:<3 i<3tacobell. everyone knows they have sh*t food, we go there because we have the munchies and tacos are bitchin.
If I wanted high quality food, and thus expensive food, I'd be at olive garden.
So I go to Taco Bell cause I'm hungry and poor.
I will ALWAYS eat Taco Bell,regardless of what people say. IT SOOOO GOOOOOOD
Plus if I need a cleanse, I can always count on Taco Bell to go through me in about an hour.
i used to love Taco Bell. Still do think it tastes good, actually.
But after some reading, research, and generally trying to maintain a healthy(ier) lifestyle, I have a general distaste, mistrust, and distance from most all fast food.
no, because I hate mexican food, even if taco bell is fake mexican food. I'd rather have arby's or chick-fil-a.
i only eat chicken too, I don't like hamburgers.
No...i don't eat that non sense.Ive been a vegetarian for the past 4 years because I know the shady business that goes on in this country concerning meat...so no thanks.
