You eat at Taco Bell? Class Action Lawsuit over "beef"
 

If you like to eat at that temple of culinary art and science known to mortals as Taco Bell, there's some serious BEEF going on in court over how much real beef there is in some of their offerings.

Actually, if the allegations are true... those would be some damn good tasting veggie tacos!:thumbsup

Personally, I like Taco Hell. Cleanses the system late at night kinda like White Asshole does.

You mean you can't get a real all-beef taco for $0.39?

boycottin taco bell since 2005

there shit sucks.period.




.

Not suprising,

Fuck eating that shit.

I love Tb...not to fond of beef ..

", as well as some beef and seasonings." :O

Tastes good to me.

The lady is correct that Taco Bell should not be allowed to call something "beef" if it is mostly nothing but fillers and extenders, soy, and "anti-dusting agents"... whatever the fuck that is.

When you go to Starbucks and you want a soy substitute in your coffee, you specify soy... they give you soy. You know what you're getting.

When you buy furniture and it says it's made out of "bonded leather", that means it's a polyurethane or vinyl product mixed with a small percentage of leather fibers as a backing material. You know it's not leather. That's why they say it's not leather.

There's all kinds of laws that specify the consumer must know what they're buying. I'd say there are certainly laws being broken by Taco Bell labeling it's product as "beef". They should not be playing games with food, and misrepresenting what they're feeding you. A lot of people are going to be very pissed off by this story, myself included. I don't think I'll be eating there again.

All this story is is looking at something that was always available, I guess not much is going on thats newsworthy

It's good its getting attention, its great tasting garbage that comes in bags that are boiled, they should've been confronted a long time ago

Same goes with Del Taco

One of my good buddies is a class action lawyer and all I can say about these types of suits is that there are only 2 real winners: 1 literal winner (the lawyer counting paper at the end of the process cuz of his "Lodestar method" payday) and 1 symbolic winner--The Public. While this might seem mercenary to some, some laws are written in such a way to allow for "private" Attorneys General to spend their time, resources, and effort to find corporate violators and correct some bad behavior.

Please, someone shoot that dumb bitch in the face.

Reminds me of when McDonald's got sued because their coffee was hot. If this bothers you, re-think eating any fast food or processed food that you buy at the store.

"their"

Illiterate boob.

good use of taxpayers dollars

ROFL! I can't believe some people expect to go to such an awesome shithole like taco bell and expect to get a gourmet meal. Taco Bell serves it's purpose and that is to evict the alcohol consumed the previous night by giving you a colon cleansing the likes you would only otherwise get if you ate off a taco stand in Tijuana.

It's a pretty tasty concoction, even if it is only 15% real beef.

If there was no meat in it whatsoever, and it was made from healthier ingredients, they could repackage the item as a vegetarian taco.

An "I can't believe it's not meat" ad campaign kind of thing.

Squeeze those lemons into lemonade!

i heard crusty the clown is the meat supplier j/k reminds me of the simpsons when they had the mc ribwich

The last stop of the Ribwich's tour was in San Francisco, where Krusty the Clown appeared in person and announced that the Ribwich would not be made anymore, as the unnamed animal whose meat was used for the burger had become extinct. Krusty held up the very last Ribwich and threw it to the crowd.

and krusty said it had more than 4 legs :helpme :1orglaugh:1orglaugh:1orglaugh omg!! that shit was funny!

I wish they would offer an all tofu / veggie meat taco.

Wait till you guys find out what Taco Bell calls "chicken"

We don't need no damn regulations, let corporations say anything they want if it means more profits.

I have eat taco bell all the time and never once has it given me any problems. Maybe it's the alcohol giving you the runs.

I worked at one for 6 months. After I saw how they prepared the meat I never wanted to eat there again.

:1orglaugh :1orglaugh

I know someone here is working at tacobell now. Post pictures. Skype me if they are up.

:1orglaugh

:1orglaugh :thumbsup :throwup

i dont give a fuck whats in it....late at night nothing beats taco bell

:1orglaugh

Well, share the inside story then :)

autolyzed yeast extract = msg :( i wish they had to actually name this shit properly instead of using "common names" as approved by the fda, etc...

The FDA.. They are there to help businesses get the labelling they need. IMHO thats their sole function. Just try not to kill too many people, else they may have to actually come inspect your practices. And nobody wants that.

btw, taco bell? come on. Everyone knows thats not food. lol :)

To me why stuff like this becomes a real issue ... food allergies. For example people who are allergic to Wheat/Gluten/Soy, Mexican is usually a pretty safe bet. Meat, cheese and a CORN tortilla and your safe.

When you order what you think is meat when you have a food allergy and are instead served something that is 15% meat and the rest is wheat, soy and other stuff, you end up having an allergic reaction. For some people this is very severe. Granted, most people with a food allergy are mostly stuck to eating at home/doing their research before hand and wouldn't likely eat at Taco Bell. But its still super miss leading. Considering Soy and wheat are in the top 8 food reactions this poses a problem for the public.


PS i have loved Taco bell a many drunken night but my Husband has food allergies so i have recently become more aware of how much "food" isn't really real food.

I'm not gonna lie, I LOVE Taco Bell!

I also worked at one before college... I was there a yr, I eat that shit maybe once a year. I'd rather make my own tacos :2 cents:

There was a lot more to it than just getting sued for their coffee being hot. The main reason you are even saying that is because PR people spent millions putting that idea into peoples heads so corporations would be harder to sue.

Seems to me I'm eating beef when I go to Taco Bell. Do they put some extra stuff in it? I'm sure they do.

I wonder how those letters to "class members" will look like...

"Hello Fellow Taco Bell Victim..."

lolz

taco bell spoke back. apparently there was not a whole lot of truth to the "facts" that were stated in the lawsuit

They also put silica aka sand in their meat as well to keep it from sticking together. They are gross all the way around!

if you over 30 taco bell will fuck your ass up. Not good to go on a date with shit all in your pants from taco bell. Girls cant even wear thongs cause of the fuck up taco bell meat

preach on brother

My son in law used to work for them. The stories he can tell... I'll NEVER eat there again.

The amount of beef should be the same as the image on the advertising. I ate Taco Bell and I thought there was enough beef. I would continue to eat there in the future.

The last time I ate at Taco Bell I was able to make these with my butt...

I went into a taco bell once after someone had pulled one of these.

I also went into a public restroom where someone had spayed on 2 different walls. Dry heave inducing, yet still impressive. The volume alone.
