Ahh...misinformation is a wonderful thing. Just think about what you guys are saying...seriously..just try, for one second..to THINK. Do you think meat that was a "grade lower than cat food" or "slaughterhouse leftovers" would be rated fit for human consumption by the USDA, let alone used by a major chain?

*sigh*

It's can be right to say that their meat is a "lower grade" in the fact it has a generally higher fat/meat ratio...think ground beef in the supermarket. 85% lean is cheaper and a "lower grade" than 93% lean ground sirloin, but it's not crap either. Higher fat ground meat is usually tastier because of the fat...leaner meats usually need more seasoning added to them, and can be less "juicy".

Nowhere else can I fill myself up with food I don't mind eating for so little.

It is because it is one grade above dog chow.

I think dog food actually uses a higher grade of beef.

Beat that. Or the hundreds of health code violations hah.

My brother used to work there and his boss said they use only grade A meat....

I personally don't care and avoid eating there...I used to eat there a LOT. But then I found out for about a dollar more 4 bucks vs 5) I could get some REALLLLYYY good food. I'd rather have Beef or Chicken Koobideh with Rice and Salad for 6 bucks, or Chinese Beef Noodle Soup for 5.50, or pretty much any real place that actually cooks food vs. heating it up in five minutes. It also tastes better and you feel like it is real food.

Taco Bell is a rip off. Used to be good when tacos were like $.50 and you could fill up for $2-$3. $5 is more than I normally spend at lunch.

If I hit fast food it's normally McDonalds.

Double Cheeseburger (no onions) - $1
Medium Fries - $1
Extra Large Diet Coke - $.69

Total w/tax: $2.84

Do you see the irony in getting a McDonalds double cheeseburger and fries, then getting a "extra large" diet coke?

I looked up some funny customer reviews:

The place where Rummy and Dick Cheney shoulda looked for Weapons of Ass Destruction.

Oh my God, I just ate a grilled STUFT burrito, now I'm pissing liquid uranium out my a***ole and melting the porcelain of my toilet. HELP!

The restaurant that gave me a 20-foot long tapeworm that refused to be surgically extracted from my intestine.

I should have microwaved my Taco Bell food before I ate it.


The other day I went to Toxic Smell, lost 20 bucks and a pair of underwear.

Me worka in fielda for taco bell! Me makea a penny and a halfa aday!

A place where people with the IQ of a
pile of rat droppings go to eat.
Not to mention the fact that there ARE
rat droppings in the food.

a slow, delicious death.

instead of cigarette smoking, i took up taco bell. don't spare the awesome sauce.

Just remember... the better it tastes the worse it is for you.

You'd think natural instict would take us the other direction, but noooooo.
