Seems one of these great United States is suing Taco Bell over its use of the word "beef" concerning the stuff it actually puts into its "food".
Some years ago I recorded a CD series on nutrition & the fast food industry. In that recording I can remember making the following statements, "A pound of ground beef is about $3.99 in the grocery store - depending on how lean it is it can be more....how much do you think the ground beef buyer for the Taco Bell chain pays per pound?" That was 2004. Well today we're finding out. My guess is they pay around 50 cents. Why?" Seems non-beef beef is reasonably priced.
I worked my way through highschool in a Kentucky Fried Chicken. I have a friend who worked in a Taco Bell. Today he added this little tidbit of information, "I used to work there when I was 16. I was always surprised by the fact that nothing is cooked at Taco Bell. The ground beef came in a big 5lb plastic bag and you just heat it up by dunking it in a pot of boiling water."
Now THAT sounds about as appetizing as the way we used to make the gravy that went on the "mashed potatoes" at KFC.
Just say no, folks. Just say no.
