A close friend of mine came across a pretty disturbing article concerning Taco Bell's "quality of meat" and forwarded it to me.
To sum up the article quickly: It states that the meat in Taco Bell's beef is only 36% beef, the rest of the mixture being made up of tasteless fibers. An Alabama Law Firm is currently suing Taco Bell for false advertising and requesting that they be made to advertise their meat as "taco meat filling" instead of "beef". However, according to the USDA, any food that is labeled as Meat Filling should contain at least 40% fresh meat, but according to the Alabama Law Firm, Taco Bell's meat only contains 36%. Hmmm.
It's not a very shocking article considering everything that's coming to light in the food industry these days. I'd love some comments on this one...
