Alabama Law Firm Sues Taco Bell

[TarPanther9180]

They say Taco Bell is false advertising the fact they are using real beef in their tacos:

"The complaint alleges that what Taco Bell calls "beef" doesn't meet the minimum requirements set by the USDA to be called "beef" or "seasoned ground beef" or anything of the kind.

"Rather than beef, these food items are actually made with a substance known as "taco meat filling," according to the lawsuit.

glad I haven't eaten at one in years...

The lawsuit states that Taco Bell should refer to its product as "taco meat filling" because it contains mostly "extenders" and other non-meat substances.

What are these substances? The document lists water, "Isolated Oat Product," wheat oats, soy lecithin, maltodrextrin, anti-dusting agent, autolyzed yeast extract, modified corn starch and sodium phosphate as well as beef and seasonings.

it took someone this long to figure that out?

So your coffee is hot and your taco does not have real beef. What do you expect for $.79? Fancy Feast?

anti-freeze tastes pretty good.

That Mexican Pizza has an addictive chemical in it that makes you crave for it fortnightly.

I still love the Nachos Bell Grande just as much as I did before.

Shocking, I know! However, "Taco Bell prides itself on serving high quality Mexican inspired food with great value."

[The Saltman]

someone once said my hairy chest looked like I had a sweater full of taco meat. Maybe they saw a pic of me with no shirt on and decided to sue?

Is the chicken really chicken, 'cause that's mostly what I eat at the bell.
