lol. i really doubt its several animals..

BUT someone did tell me that taco bell pays some kind of additional fee to be able to use the lowest quality meat that is able to be legally served

thats kinda gross, so why is it so yummy?

I would never eat there. I did when they first opened, but I was 20. Now? I don't want soylent green, thanks.

Taco Bell is a first-tier corporation. That means they have rigid standards of meat quality, much moreso than a smaller restaurant. Taco Bell's meat varies. The steak is decent, but you'll notice it's not terribly expensive for steak, so you get what you pay for.
The chicken is about average. It's not the same as KFC, that's for sure. But it's not bad.
The ground beef is not from the best cuts of meat. This stuff is mass produced. You definitely get what you pay for here.
Taco Bell has delectable fast food. It's the favorite of heroes and simple men alike.

slaughterhouse kill

I easily gross myself out thinking about that stuff, then I go for days/weeks without eating meat. But I'm fickle enough to conveniently forget how gross it is and go back to my carnivore ways

So, how about a Taco Bell Grande???

Where did you think the little dog went? See the cars in the background.

I doubt that is true, however I just read today that Taco Bell has added Kalua Pig tacos and burritos to their menu here in Hawaii.
Now we can get spam at McDonald's and Burger King and Kalua Pig at Taco Bell!

yeah

they were not picked up off the pavement as "road-kill" until they get to the slaughter house and run down by the fork-lifts! just like in that packing house in los angles that they showed on t.v.

if going to ask what kinda meat that is, how abou that orange pasty stuff in a "jack-in-the-box" taco! what the he*l is that?

No, it's ground beef.

If you stop and think about the economics of it, Taco Bell could never justify going out looking for road kill - there's just not enough of it to be worth collecting. It's much easier and cheaper (both in the short term and in the long term, considering law suits, health scares etc) to farm animals for slaughter.

This leads us to the question about what sort of quality meat Taco Bell uses. Snopes has a typically thorough examination of this sort of myth:

Summary: no, their meat is inspected by USDA food inspectors and as such could not possibly be roadkill, but it also need not be especially good quality to pass USDA inspections.

add some taco sauce, who can tell.

hahaha, it wouldn't surprise me, but hey it still taste awesome as long as there isn't any fur or toenails...hahaha

It's cheap ground beef. Probably really fatty, definitely not from the classier cuts, but just ground beef.

A restaurant, much less a giant chain, grinding random things into the food would get shut down crazy fast.

The FDA would close them down for good if that were true. They use chicken, beef and pork, just like anywhere else.

Urban myth.

I don't like their food, I don't care what they put in it. When they advertise on tv the food looks like a skin graft to me.
