Well, no surprise, I swore of Taco Hell "beef" after getting ill after having some of it.
That said, I like their other products pretty well, the chicken stuff is fine, but that ain't "beef" in the "beef" burrito.

If it were textured vegetable protein I'd prefer it, that is the stuff they put in the 7-11 microwave cheeseburgers.
Silicon Dioxide must not agree with me..:lol: -
-
yeah this really changes nothing...
-
Shocking... :rolleyes: Is anything fast food, actually FOOD? I sure don't miss eating at places like those, even if it only was once in a while.
-
Love the bean burritos at Taco Bell, but I haven't touched anything labeled "beef" since high school.
-
Same here, the non "beef" stuff is what I buy 99% of the time with an occasional hard shell taco sans what they call "lettuce".
The Hell's lettuce tastes more like grass clippings, that crap is just terrible. -
Glad none of the 10+ franchises I've ever eaten have had exhibited such qualities.
-
Fu usda!
-
-
Or, one likes the taste of grass clippings, nice and bitter..yummy.
-
It has been a while, however I do love their spicy chicken burrito. I now wonder how much chicken is needed to call it chicken?
Is it too much to ask that beef be 51% beef? -
-
Chicken is fine, it has to be "chicken" now if it were "ground chicken" then..not so much.
I like a 3 chicken soft taco 1 pintos and cheese for lunch maybe once every couple of months, no lettuce. -
I dont eat there.
-
I've never eaten a single thing from Taco Bell (or any fast food establishment for that matter) that I would label "bitter."
-
I still get them here in Jacksonville, and think last time I was in San Antonio they had them there too as well.

-
Chili Cheese Burritos were ****ing amazing. And they were cheap as **** too.
Now I want one :( -

I haven't seen a chili cheese burrito on a Taco Bell menu since they pulled them from my hometown stores down in Panama City. That was around 2000 when that happened. I didn't see them on the menu when I was out in California, when I was Georgia, and I haven't seen them on the menu here in MD either. I loved those things and I haven't had one in a decade. So unless they come back Taco Bell is dead to me.
-
I think it's been about 2000 since I've seen one as well. Not seen one in Ohio, Mississippi, Louisiana, New Jersey, or Texas.

Haven't had fast food beef in over a decade.
Around 10 years ago I noticed that if I ate a burger from a fast food joint or other assorted "beef" dishes from places like Taco Hell, that I would get the worst stomach pain for 3-4 days, with no ability to go to the bathroom. It was like a plug was inserted in to my stomach and all the food I ate for that time period just sat there.. You can imagine how I felt after 3 days.. I know some women that go once a week, hell I'm used to going once every 4 hours :) This applied to anything with ground beef.. Strange thing is I can have a quality burger or chilli and digest it perfectly fine..
After I noticed the same pattern I just decided to cut out all fast food from my life, with the exception of the occasional burrito from Chipolte.. For a cheap Mexican thrill there is a place called Tijuana Flats which is opening a ton of locations that is really, really good.Dolfan984 likes this. -

i prefer the 3 day over the 7, it's got a little more bite. -

I'm about the same. Around 2005 I stopped eating fast food. I still hit this local Mexican joint that serves these huge burritos and I still eat pizza very liberally but as far as the "regular" fast food places? No thanks. The last time I had fast food (was taco bell) I got some real bad food poisoning so that scared me away more than anything. Then I did a little research and it scared me away even more. I buy food from the grocery store most of the time and cook it up myself. If you take care of your body when you're young and keep it going as you get older you're going to look and feel younger than you are. Maintaining youthful metabolism FTW.

Taco Bell fights back! -
Glad I am not the only one who found that disturbing. Stories like this make me happy i swore off fast food when I was like 15 when I learned some companies used bacon fat in their french fries. Id rather eat my own fingernails, at least I know whats in them. Freakin gross.
-
What is particularly bad about Bacon Fat?
-
I do not know. Bacon is awesome!
-
what's the other 12?
-
I think they are precooked and stuff such as that added so when it goes into the deep fryer it is already seasoned.
I only bring it up as some fats have gotten a bad reputation when in fact they are no more harmless than any other fat, for example Lard v Sunflower oil, you'd be surprised which is "healthier". -
Colagen..:shifty:
