Just wondering what grade. I never eat there, but my roomate lives off that place (proabably why he is overweight too).

Taco bell food is probably the 2nd most unhealty fast food place to eat, mickeyD's being #1 :D. I've heard they use soy meat.

At first, I used to suggest Seal Meat.

But looking back....wouldn't Seal Meat be more expensive?

Holy crap, you're right :Q! I can't think of a Taco Bell that doesn't have a vet right close to it. Son of a...

I stopped eating taco bell after finding a piece of what looked like hide in one of my tacos. It was an half an inch long and like a thick piece of skin. I don't know what it was but I have not been back since.

My brother told me that his college cafeteria uses 'Grade F, still fit for human consumption' meat. Maybe it's actually D.

Not sure about taco bell, but my gf used to work at this place called Mighty Taco in Buffalo a long while ago.
The beef was actually a turkey based product.

Like the note left behind by a dishonest hit-and-run motorist in another familiar legend, the "Grade D but edible" label is an invented detail necessary for the effective telling of a story, not something which would be encountered in real life.
Not true. I did personally encounter "the note". Feb 2002, rainy night about 8pm, Winco Foods parking lot near the Petsmart, Tigard, OR, newer light blue Ford Windstar with Pennsylvania plates side-swiped a late-80s red Honda CRX (gen 1), causing considerable damage down the passenger side. The middle-aged fat lady driving the minivan tried to get away but I stopped her and forced her to write a note and took down her license plate #. I then went into the store, shopped for about half an hour or so, and when I came out one of the Winco cashiers was getting into the CRX and hadn't yet seen the damage on the passenger side. I told her what happened, pointed out the damage and the note, which said (paraphrased) "Sorry about your car but I don't have any insurance so I can't pay for the damage." I gave the cashier/CRX owner the license plate number of the minivan along with a description of the driver and wished her luck.

I find Snopes to be more and more unreliable as time goes by. They are right that there is no "Grade D" beef, but most fast food restaurant meat is "standard" or "commercial" quality, a far cry from the "choice" grade you usually see in most grocery stores.
Like I said, they use the cheapest they can find.
