...Taco Bell

Well by now I am sure you all have heard about he lawsuit against Taco Bell claiming that their beef only contains 35% real beef. Taco Bell has denied this from the start but now they are telling the public in new ads. They took out full-page ads in at least 9 major news papers and made a YouTube video featuring their president to proclaim that their beef is 88% real beef. Still not 100%, but it is better than what most people would have thought. Experts say that Taco Bell's meat is no more or less what any other company serves including McDonald's. Some say that it is not the beef at all we should worry about, it is the salt that would do more harm to us before the beef or "beef". The lawsuit cites U.S. Department of Agriculture guidelines for labeling ground beef. The only problem is that they don't apply to restaurants, they apply to meat processors, the companies Taco Bell buys its meat from. So far the Alabama law firm that filed the suit has yet to release information on who tested the meat or any other specific information. I have eaten Taco Bell my entire life, true story, and 3 days in a row since hearing about he meat. I am sure that their is more than 35% beef in the meat, it taste more like beef than the burgers you can get at a drive-thru. I am sticking with Taco Bel until the end. Taco Bell is getting another Digit Up from me.
