I do enjoy Taco Bell here and there, but honestly there is no need. A good traditional taco can be bought for dirt cheap, be fucking huge, and be made of natural ingredients.

You probably don't like Barbecue either because it's too messy*

*only applies to regional BBQ utilizing copious amounts of sauce - I'm looking at you Kansas City.

I can get lengua/chorizo/al pastor/adobado/tripa/cabeza tacos for anywhere from 1-1.50, so why would anyone eat this shit?

Plus as a general rule, I try to avoid giving money to any establishment that serves Pepsi.

There's so little beef,
it may as well be vegetarian!

I think it's just super finely chopped/ground up. They could probably inject it in to a tube and you could squeeze it out like toothpaste.

On the plus side you could put it in to a mold and bake and get nuggets in any shape you desired.

You have no soul.

None.

Put your remotes in sandwich baggies. That way they stay functional and clean.

I didn't know they had electricity in the cave you throw your parties in.

Not shocked at all. Read the ingredients in any sort of pre-made food, it's just as bad.

If you want to know what goes in your food, cook it your damn self.

I don't really see how this is "false advertising" either. It's chopped up beef slurry stuffed with seasonings, preservatives, and corn.... which describes just about any sort of bulk meat.

It is a food product and doesn't meet the legal requirements to be called beef. Beef has to be a minimum of 70% meat. Seems pretty cut and dry but the law is zany.

Reminds me of a friend who ate 2 pounds of leftover halloween candy and ended up shitting pink turd logs.

This thread reminds me of this thing I read awhile ago
http://www.cracked.com/article_15982_5-horrifying-food-additives-youve-probably-eaten-today.html

I wouldn't complain about cheap fast food, as long as I can keep it down and it doesn't make me develop lactating breasts or any other sort of weird side-effect, they could add ground-up African children for all I care. Big corporations are going to lie to you to get your money, they may as well just claim that the meat is actually ground-up unicorn and let the fools believe that that's what they're actually eating.

This seems like a recipe for debating semantics. If I make beef chili, it obviously won't be 70% beef when it's done. I can also make a beef "sausage" that after seasonings and other items is lower than 70% beef.

They could argue that the original beef mixture they put into the mush they add to the taco's is 70% beef.

This really just smacks of people either hunting for money, or people being just flat out retarded over what goes into fast food.
