Look what's happening at Taco Bell

I stopped eating at Taco Bell about 18 months ago when I got real sick afterwards. I really just stopped liking it because everything tastes the same. You can order anything you want and it all tastes exactly the same! And I'm not surprised at the law suit that's been filed, and i hope they are checking other fast food restaraunts too!

CE- The family gave up all fast food officially back on January 12th and we haven't been happier. We did used to do a lot of Taco Bell and that article explains why each time I ate it my IBS flared up! I hope that they win the law suit because the use if silicone is insane! It's amazing that we have all of these laws in this country and yet we can't even protect our own food supply. Namaste-Anora

It will be interesting if it goes to trial and we get to find out if the allegations of the lawsuit are true..

Lovely...

thats a real shame. you know years ago when it first started it was really good. then about 6 yrs ago, it started tasting funny to me. the elderly lady i worked for loved it so much in '05, she would have me go get her some and buy me whatever i wanted to. anyway, ive often wondered if thats why i started getting the H-pylori in my stomach about then. maybe i should sue them but its been a long time back now so to bad i didnt realize it then

Oh no . . . well, I won't read that link because I don't want to get scared - ha ha. I actually do like their meat - I don't know why. They used to have Taco on a Bun - which was literally their taco stuff on a bun. For some reason I crave that taste - of the taco "meat" - more than any other fast food "meat" - and I don't know why. Or maybe I should read that link, perhaps gross out, and put an end to this craving - ha ha!

I have just found that the texture is weird. This would explain why it is so inexpensive as compared to some other sources.

yup I think this has happened as the tacos dont taste like they used to. and it sure dont look like it used to eithr and after I have read this and daughter saw the same thing we wont be going back to taco bell havent been going there much for wel over 2 years. and we have Del Taco right down the street!

Thankfully I don't eat meat, but I reallly love their, 7 layer burrito and bean burrito. I can't go to many places and get vegetarian type food for $3.30.

Wow that is a scary thought, and what the heck is an "anti-dusting agent?" I used to work at a competitor for Taco Bell that is no longer in existence. I can honestly say that everything there was very fresh and good quality, but I can tell you that we did add oats to the ground beef I guess to extend it. When you cooked up the meat the oats would just blend in and you would never know they were in there. I don't think that is so bad because oats are good for you and did make the meat less fatty. Other than than that though it was ground beef. I am sure that a lot of fast food places use fillers, but the ones that Taco Bell are using do not sound so great at all.

Hi. celticeagle. I love eating at Taco Bell and I have not tasted their version of lean beef. It would not matter to me anyway. I would just eat it if it tasted good. If it did not, then nope, I would not bother with eating from here again. I have to try eating from taco bell again to see if I will like their lean beef taste.

You have mentioned how you felt about their meat...lol...come to find out..it's hardly meat at all...lol.

My husband and I are becoming more fast food causious. WE have to take a road trip to Texas about 20 hour trip so we take turkey, chicken and ham for sandwiches, healthy snacks, yogurt, fruit, and I eat craisens (different flavors) and take juices with us. When we eat our evening meal instead of driving through fast food we try to find a familiar restaurant to eat in such as Golden Corral and eat a balanced meal with salad. We will be gone a week so you can imagine all we have to take. My hubby is not as healthy eating person as me, and he has diabetes. So its up to me to lead the force in keeping him out of all the fast food restaurants LOL He just won't eat a small portion that is right for him so his sugar goes up and then he yells because he knew he did it to himself. I just look at him shake my head and say OH WELL!

That's a pretty interesting article. I've never heard anything about it. I haven't ate there in a long time.

I never liked Taco Bell. I remember craving for Mexican Food last week and I thought Taco Bell would appease my cravings. But the moment I dug into my food, I regretted my decision to eat there. I have had Mexican food before, but not that bad. To think it was expensive. I could have eaten somewhere else for the same amount and would have enjoyed my food.

That's why I just get stuff made with beans or on the rare occasion, chicken. I never have their beef either. When my neighbor butchered a cow, my family got part of it. So I know what real beef tastes and looks like. Most of the stuff in stores is dyed at the least and probably worse. That's why we had mad cow disease, people feeding their cows brains instead of grain. I like knowing where my meat comes from. So it's just the beans, from now on, for me.

In the Philippines, taco bell is only located in high end malls and the people who eat there are the "cool" ones. I'm glad I'm not.

Before I make any conclusions I am going to wait until the law suit is settled. If TB is found lying I will boycott the place and tell everyone why. But I've seen both sides of a law suit. I resent people who sue just because they can try: such as, they don't like the bill. I am in the middle of a lawsuit against a company I worked for who refused to pay overtime. But I don't lay any bets on justice.

we dont have a taco bell near us and ive never had one so i have no idea what they are like

I heard about this story first this morning on the radio. I wasn't surprised to hear the questions that have been posed about taco bell's ingredients, what shocked me is that so many people seem surprised. I mean really people, did you think it was high quality beef? Does it taste like the ground chuck you buy at the market? No it doesn't. Why do you think it's so cheap? And seriously people, if you liked taco bell before, what difference does it make if they use fillers to save a couple bucks? So much of our food (especially in fast food restaurants) contains fillers, byproducts, and preservatives... and god knows what else. I guess I just don't see what the big deal is.
