Dónde Está la Carne?


In English words.... Where's the Beef?? Taco Bell is being sued by a law firm in Alabama because if you advertise beef, it should be "flesh of cattle." Apparently, Taco Bell's taco meat isn't. The side of the box that the consumers don't see says the "meat" is actually:"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. You know that the ingredients are listed in order of how much is in the product. So basically, your Taco Bell meat taco is water and oats. There seems to be a tad of beef and beef flavoring, so technically it's not vegetarian meat. Wait till Taylor reads this! He loves him some Taco Bell tacos!
