Taco Bull?

So, I'm pretty sure that you have all heard about Taco Bell's "meat" scandal. If you haven't...here's the scoop: Recently, a group of lawyers filed a lawsuit against Taco Bell claiming that the Taco Bell "meat" actually only contains 35% meat. The lawyers' purpose for the lawsuit was to try to get Taco Bell to list all the ingredients of their "meat mixture" and to also call their meat a 'meat mixture' rather than ground beef. So the question remains, what exactly is in the other 65%? Well, to be accurate water, isolated oat product, salt, chili pepper, onion powder, tomato powder, oats, soy lecithin, sugar, spices, maltodextrin (CORN), soybean oil, garlic powder, autolyzed yeast extract, citric acid, caramel color, silicon dioxide, natural flavors, yeast, modified CORN starch, natural smoke flavor, more salt, and sodium phosphate...hmm...that sounds like a meat mixture to me. So what does Taco Bell do? They are offering all its customers free taco coupons. Hmm...won't those tacos contain that meat mixture that the whole world is talking about. Um...I'm not sure if I'll take you up on that offer, thanks though.

 Obviously, you can see why everyone is talking about this whole scandal now. Maybe Taco Bell will learn its lesson and in the future Make Love, Not Chemically Processed Meat.


And just an extra fun addition to the article, here's a link to a game poking fun at Taco Bell on addictinggames.com: http://www.addictinggames.com/tacobull.html

  2. now THAT game was FUN! I truly think I will never eat there again... and it used to be one of my favorite fast food chains. I got all the way to level 7 and won over $39,000 for Taco Bell by taking the meat out of tacos... priceless.
