Yo quiero Taco Bell! An Alabama law firm filed a class-action lawsuit against the fast food chain claiming the ground beef, referred to as seasoned beef, has less than 40 percent meat.
Really? Are you serious? What did you expect -- your 99 cent beefy crunch burrito to have cuts of filet mignon? Maybe some sirloin? Maybe your fat ass shouldn't be ordering five Chalupas for your fourth meal at 2 a.m. to feed your eighth chin. Maybe you have deeper problems than the beef at Taco Bell. Were you ignored as a child? Was your daddy mean to you?
Here's the ingredients list that is easily accessible on the Taco Bell website: Beef, Water, Seasoning [Isolated Oat Product, Salt, Chili Pepper, Onion Powder, Tomato Powder, Oats (Wheat), Soy Lecithin, Sugar, Spices, Maltodextrin, Soybean Oil (Anti-dusting Agent), Garlic Powder, Autolyzed Yeast Extract, Citric Acid, Caramel Color, Cocoa Powder (Processed With Alkali), Silicon Dioxide, Natural Flavors, Yeast, Modified Corn Starch, Natural Smoke Flavor], Salt, Sodium Phosphates. Contains soybean and wheat.
I was comforted the seasoning mixture contained somewhat healthy, everyday items ... next time you want Taco Bell, and one of your health conscious friends gives you lip, just say, "the meat contains oats! Oats!"
This lawsuit reminds me of something I heard on the radio the other day (yes I listen to talk on the radio). They were discussing one of the 2011 Sundance films called "Hot Coffee," the story of the woman who spilled a hot coffee on herself and notoriously sued McDonalds. Really? This woman deserves a movie? She was in the car with her nephew, ordered coffee and put it between her knees to add cream and spilled it on herself. Duh! Everyone knows not to do that and if I was this lady I would be too embarrassed to tell my friends, let alone a lawyer and the world!
When I think of "Hot Coffee" and the Taco Bell lawsuit one thought comes to mind -- $$$$$$$$$$$
Get a life!
Totally agreed!
