There's really nothing bad or gross in it. It's a lot like school hamburgers

35 percent is about 28 percent more than I'd have expected.

Who cares? This is like when someone says you're probably eating cat when you're having Chinese food. I don't give a damn if it's cat or chicken, it's delicious!

Grind it up with fillers and slather it in sauce who cares! lol

When I make meatloaf or meatballs, I probably have a meat to filler ratio of 3 to 1, so about 66% meat!

None of the things they put in it are shocking or disgusting.

How infuriating. I was always under the assumption that a high class establishment like Taco Bell would only serve 100% beef.

Does that mean it's okay to eat these during Lenten Fridays?!

ratio of 3 to 1 would be 75% meat (2 to 1 would be 66%)

The lawsuit wants Taco Bell to be "honest in its advertising" and not say seasoned beef anymore?!

Does that mean that I am supposed to get shit-housed drunk and order 15 beef/water/wheat oats/soy lecithin/maltodrextrin/anti-dusting agent/modified corn starch tacos? Because that is never going to work for me.

I don't mind it. I don't eat it enough anymore to really care.

I thought this was going to be about the sand in the beef:

http://www.tacobell.com/nutrition/foodfacts

This is completely false. The truth is that what has been referred to as "sand" is in fact silicon dioxide. Silicon dioxide:

•is a safe, common food ingredient often used in spices, seasonings, and many restaurant and packaged foods;
•is primarily used in food to prevent ingredients from sticking together;
•Is a naturally occurring mineral, often found in water, leafy green and root vegetables, cooked dried beans, whole grains, cereals, and fruits;
•Can be found in many kitchen pantries across America, often in mashed potato and rice mixes, coffee, soups, and many spices and seasonings;
•Is approved for use in food by the Food and Drug Administration here;
Like many in the food business, we use silicon dioxide in the seasonings and spices for our taco meat. When cooked, our beef contains about .0005% (that is, five ten-thousands of one percent) of this ingredient, far less than the FDA limit of 2%. Furthermore, we use certified organic silicon dioxide. It is not artificial and is not a preservative.
