Aren't you supposed to be asleep young lady?
The whole story cracks me up.
I do wonder if the company sent the stores faux meat OR if the franchisee added extra oats and crap to boost his profit.

By the way, have you ever posted your fat bomb recipe? I did search for it a few days ago and couldn't find it anywhere.abifae said:

I think the whole Taco Bell thing is just a lawyer stunt. They say they had it tested, but won't say who tested it. The suit claims that they are misleading the public because it isn't 100% beef and that it has to be to be called beef, but that law does not apply to restaurants, only to raw whole beef. It doesn't apply to ANY processed pre-cooked or pre-assembled foods. The legal firm filing the suit knows that, and has deliberately mislead the public - they issued a statement listing the ingredients in the taco filling, and did not list meat - yet the label clearly shows that meat is the first ingredient in the list. They know that their claim is baseless, and that it won't hold up in court. So why would they make that kind of claim, if not to just dirty the name of a company they have a grudge against? They'll be counter-sued, for sure. Kinda dumb.
I don't think Taco Bell is doing anything that is illegal or misleading. I mean, fast food is what fast food is. Anybody who eats it knows they are getting "stuff". I don't eat at Taco Bell - have not for years, because I already know the put stuff in that I can't eat, and don't want to eat. I don't eat at restaurants at all, because even when you ask them what is in it or where it came from, there's no assurance that the person who is telling you really knows what they are talking about.
And when you have Taco Filling, it has other stuff in it. Even mine does (though I don't use the same stuff that they do!). I may not approve of what they put in it - but there isn't a restaurant in the world that serves up food that hasn't been tampered with in some way, even those so called "green" or "organic" restaurants. By law, they HAVE to put preservatives in certain products.
If I make it myself, I know it is good food. If I eat out, I'm trusting someone else's idea of what they think is good for me. That has made me sick too many times, even when it was a friend, promising that nothing in it would hurt me.

I saw their CEO ( or some other corporate monkey) being interviewed.....turns out the federal requirement on 'meat' is that it is 40% actual meat 
40% people! We should really applaud Taco Bell for using 88% the truth is that most business are going to do their darnedest to stick to the bare mimimums in order to increase the bottom line.
BTW...this is a great story for me to share with my son who loves his TB....yeah, not for long!

A friend won't eat my home-raised chickens because "they walk in their own poo", but eats TB all the time. Umm, how does he think they keep the prices low?- Thread starter
