Taco Bell is being sued because there is less than 35% beef in their “meat,” the rest is just fillers . The law suit is essentially claiming that there is more beef at a pool party of Ethiopians than there is in Taco Bell meat.
While it is a misnomer to call something meat that isn’t really meat, it is also incorrect to call most fast food, food. While a lot of it tastes good going down you often get to keep tasting it for quite a while afterward and it’s not nearly as good the 2nd and 3rd time around.
If there were labels on fast food they would be required to have disclaimer statements that read something like, “If you bite into our food and you think you bit into cardboard and now want to sue us forget it, that was actually the food, ha-ha.”
The next time you bite into a chicken nugget from a fast food place you may want to ponder what it is a nugget of.
If fast food was compared to a relationship it would be like a series of one night stands. That is unless you are firmly committed to one particular establishment, no t to mention any names, but if, for example, your favorite place promotes that there have been billions served, then you are probably a guy who goes out of his way to date really ugly fat girls. In fairness, and not to be sexist, for a girl it would be someone who dates fat ugly guys. And I do emphasize the fat because if this is the food you are eating you are probably already really fat yourself.
If fast food were politics there would be a lot of sleazy, slimy, backroom deals being made and it would get worse the bigger the fast food chain/government became… oh, never mind then, fast food and politics are already the same.
You sometimes hear about a rat or mouse or something else equally disgusting being found in fast food. But it sounds like Taco Bell could increase the percentage of their meat in their “meat” if they weren’t so diligent about keeping the rodents out of the food. Then again maybe they aren’t that diligent and that’s how they are getting 35% of their meat to be classified as meat.
Even the toys given out by some fast food chains can be hazardous to your health. And this is not just because the kids try to eat the toys rather than the food. There have been numerous instances of toy recalls because of the paint or dye (also known as die) on the toys, etc. etc.
I have to admit, though, the fast food mascots are actually pretty cool. And they do make really good commercials. I have to say I’m partial to Jack, from Jack–in-the-box commercial fame, with the Burger King, King coming in as a close second. Now if they could just get the level of the food up to the level of the commercials I might be enticed to eat some of their food. Even Taco Bell used to put out some good commercials back when they had the Chihuahuas in their ads. Whatever happened to those ads?… Hey, wait a minute. Maybe that is the source of how they are getting their meat up to the level of 35% actual meat.
