Taco Bell thinks too “outside the bun”

There may be truth in Taco Bell’s claims to “Think outside the bun.”

According to a recent false advertising lawsuit filed in California, Taco Bell thinks far beyond the bun, and any natural ingredients one would normally think is in Mexican foods.

The lawsuit claims that Taco Bell’s seasoned mystery meat contains about a third of real beef, with the other two thirds consisting of filler.

 

And if these claims turn out to be true, not only will our campus be contributing to our obesity, but it may also be feeding us pseudo meat.

 

In a learning environment such as college, students not only learn skills for their careers, but they also pick up proper eating habits.

 

Taco Bell’s cheap cost makes it an easy choice for broke and hungry college students, but what exactly are they paying for?

 

Recent YouTube videos posted by Taco Bell’s president, George Creed, retort claims of false advertising, but listed on Taco Bell’s website, ingredients such as isolated oat product, oats, anti-dusting agents and yeast extract are labeled as seasoning.

 

I’m not sure about anyone else, but I don’t remember the last time I saw isolated oat product and anti-dusting agents on my spice rack.

 

The lawsuit doesn’t ask for any monetary reimbursement, but it does call for Taco Bell changing the name of its “beef” to “taco meat filling.”

 

Somehow, Taco Meat Filling 5-Layer Burrito doesn’t have the same ring to it, but for 99 cents, you get what you pay for.
