You know who I blame for Taco bell? Atheists.

If they just believed in the divine truth then things like this wouldn't be tolerated. Atheists are killing life as we know it.

may have a point here, I don't know anyone who goes to church who eats at Taco Bell (personally of course, and I realize that sample is small)

However that's assuming Taco Bell is killing life as we know it. :D

It is within their rights to call something beef only until a certain point. They are not following their end of the bargain, ergo they should be forced to change.


But each time we let something like this just slide away, we're giving small businesses less incentive to even try.

Finally, someone in this forum "gets it". Thank you, Xueye.

I've tried to explain this multiple times already in this thread, but apparently many of you out there have reading impairments.
Taco Bell isn't going anywhere. If this lawsuit is successful, the WORST things that could happen are:

  • Taco Bell improves the quality of its "seasoned beef" taco mixture

  • Taco Bell changes their advertising/marketing slightly

  • Taco Bell takes a minor "black eye" in publicity



Your f*ckin' tacos, chalupas, burritos, and quesadillas will still be there. Calm down, and try reading, instead of over-reacting.

They do? But seriously, I guess I don't get your comment either might just be your twisted sense of humor.... But yeah I agree with Elanabelle on this one and hey it doesn't have to be professional.

apparently neither of you lived in a college town where the local Taco bell was staffed by college students who were just there to fill space. The service was slow, the ignorance was ever present, and the fact that most of these assmites didn't give a ***about service just made me wanna punch them in the face.

Then the other Taco Bell down the road was staffed by majority ghetto black folk complete with gold grill, ATL slang, visible tattoos of baby names/teardrops/gang signs just made me laugh every time I walk in.

Potential bad news for all you lovers of Jack in the Box's Tacos:

Beef Regular Taco Filling Ingredients: Beef, Water, Textured Vegetable Protein (Soy Flour, Caramel Color), Defatted Soy Grits, Seasoning [Chili Pepper, Corn Maltodextrin, Spices, Bleached Enriched Wheat Flour (Contains Niacin, Reduced Iron, Thiamine Mononitrate, Riboflavin, and Folic Acid), Salt, Garlic Powder, Hydrolyzed (Corn, Soy, Wheat) Proteins, Monosodium Glutamate, Onion Powder, Natural Flavors, Disodium Inosinate, Disodium Guanylate, Succinic Acid], Salt, Tomato Paste, Worcestershire Sauce (Distilled Vinegar, Molasses, Corn Syrup, Water, Salt, Caramel Color, Garlic Powder, Sugar, Spices, Tamarind, Natural Flavor, Sulfiting Agent).

I tried to look up the ingredients for Del Tacos' tacos also, but i couldn't find the ingredient list. It's probably more of the same, but who knows for sure.

Anyway, I highly doubt that anyone here works for the FDA or USDA and knows exactly what their intent is behind "ground beef". How do you all make your ground beef at home? I know we tend to add a little water to help brown it up, then seasonings galore. I still consider that ground beef, it's just the cooking process.

Also, Elenabelle, you're a condescending little snot. Just thought I'd point that out. :3 I really don't need you to try simplifying or repeating yourself YET AGAIN so that you can try to sway me to your side.

Perhaps the thing TB should learn from this is to just change their "seasoned ground beef" to "beef taco filling".

assuming adding a little meat to the mixture instead of using a particular spice/other ingredient will "improve" the quality

Quite frankly unless I saw the parameters of this study I find it very hard to be valid, and quite frankly the plaintiffs in this are just waiting for a counter sue, and it will happen.

lets say, for the sake of argument, that no one went up against Taco Bell for having only 35% beef and 65% additives.

What would stop Taco Bell from just taking cow ***from out back and calling it "beef", would anyone go up against them if word got out?

I know people will still eat Taco Bell. Hell, I still eat steak even though I've seen how it's made.

just a thought.

what's your beef with steak?

and the simple answer to your question is they don't so it's not even a real question, if they indeed do that, then yes most people would stop eating there.

condescending snot, eh?

For that, I may sneak into your local taco shop and blow a condescending snot into your taco meat.

Also, there is no "side" for me to sway you too, Biddy.
You've made it clear that you think beef = beef, regardless of what is mixed in with the beef, and regardless of what proportion of the resultant mixture is beef. While that may be true in your house or in mine, it's irrelevant to this legal proceeding.

What you're being told is that the Taco Bell meat mixture does not conform with the USDA's definition for beef.
Thus, the lawsuit contends that Taco Bell should not be allowed to advertise/market their product as beef.

It's as simple as that. Do you still not understand?
