How much actual beef is in Taco Bell food? 36%

I'm suspicious of these numbers.

( 88% ).88 * ( 40% ).40 = .352 = approximately .36 ( 36% )

What I'm saying is that I suspect again that the above list refers to "USDA-inspected quality beef" as not 100% beef, but rather the legal percentage of beef in "taco filling" (not beef or seasoned beef).

It would make sense that the president of a company would make such a statement in face of these sort of allegations given that it is simply a re-iteration of the false advertising they have already committed and therefore doesn't further incriminate them.

Obviously the president of Taco Bell/ Taco Bell in general is going to defend itself in press releases, so I take El Presidente's word with a grain of salt personally.
 
3-5% oats, starch, sugar, yeast, citric acid, and other ingredients that contribute to the quality of our product.

LOL..... quality product. I sure do love citric acid made from GMO corn. These press statements are funny. Keep em coming. :D
 
This is why I rarely eat fast food nor products that don't have whole ingredients.
This taco meat shit does not surprise me in the least.
 
I just want to add, that I too am a vegetarian that eats meat all the time.

the term "the quality" doesn't connote a positive or a negative, it can equally mean either high quality or low quality.
 
I really need to become a vegan or a fruitarian or a raw foodie. Just reading this thread is giving me gas pains. :\
 
Notdeja not everybody has the means that you have to eat such high-quality foods... It would be nice if we all did, but that's not realistic for many on this forum. I've eaten mostly raw for the past five years, but I've fallen off the wagon time and again due to financial constraints.

ANYWAY, yes Taco Bell is disgusting, but there'll always be a special place in my heart for Taco Bell hot taco sauce. I like to carry that astronaut food around and suck on it if I'm on hungry and out and about in a pinch man. Mmmmm... ^_^
 
My income is classified as bottom of the barrel poverty so if I can afford it anyone can. Anyone who isn't literally homeless or something. It's about priorities. But I already went on that rant so I'll save it. ;)

ps. I also go through the dumpster to get a portion of the fresh foods I eat. ANYONE can do that for free and it's really good stuff. Just depends on how much you want it.
 
As a swim instructor I barely make more than you, but I make just enough to not qualify for government assistance. I agree with practically everything you write, but it just irks me when you imply that EVERYONE can afford such a luxurious lifestyle, when in reality tons of us can't...

I have a friend who makes over 50K a year, but after his mortgage payment, car payment, child support payment, credit card bill, and gas money, he barely has enough to scrape by. Under no one's definition is he impoverished, but with a full time job, part time job, AND a child, he literally doesn't have either the time OR money to eat well!

I am on your side and agree that health should be people's number one priority, but not everyone lives in such a health-conscious & progressive/supportive coummunity with an abundance of organic, discount grocers like you and I. :)

OK END OFF TOPIC RANT.

(PS- You know I love you notdeja!)
 
^lol poor guy. credit card bill? what's he buying with a credit card that is more important than food?

ps. I also go through the dumpster to get a portion of the fresh foods I eat. ANYONE can do that for free and it's really good stuff. Just depends on how much you want it.

say what

So come along people! Let's dumpster dive in unity, that's right, we're far above that Taco bell crap!
In any other thread I've taken your posts seriously and respect them, so don't take offense. It must just be something about this thread.
 
god knows what the rest is :!
