The meat mixture sold by Taco Bell restaurants contains binders and extenders and does not meet the minimum requirements set by the US Department of Agriculture to be labeled as “beef,” according to the legal complaint. The class-action lawsuit was filed Friday in federal court in the Central District of California by the Montgomery law firm Beasley, Allen, Crow, Methvin, Portis & Miles. Attorney Dee Miles said attorneys had Taco Bell’s “meat mixture” tested and found it contained less that 35 percent beef. The lawsuit on behalf of Taco Bell customer and California resident Amanda Obney does not seek monetary damages, but asks the court to order Taco Bell to be honest in its advertising.

im watching this while eating taco bell by god i am going to finish it
Silicone dioxide? You mean… sand?
Haha, it just goes to show how stupid americans are when they stopped eating taco bell after this. Its like, so before you knew you stuffed your fat fucking face with their yummy tacos, and never had any bad side effects. But now that you know, all of a sudden its bad for you since you know how its made? Did it change the taste? No! That would be like finding out why ************ feels good and stopping it because you found out the reason. I am eating taco bell right now and loving it!
Silicon dioxide is (drumroll) the main component in gravel, stones and sand
@ TheYoungTurks why are ur subtitles all fucked?
It’s Silicon Dioxide which is an anti caking agent. Anti-dusting=Anti-caking, it’s just a term. It doesn’t mean they’re putting Pledge in your tacos, or even sand. It’s just a chemical to help the beef break down easier, and stay in the same “viscosity” that’s easy to fit into a taco.
but yet I’m eating it now… -_-
@bigrigJim lol what?
The advertising for Taco Bell is deceiving. Wait until the XXX-Chalupas come out again. It never fails to have someone mad because their ‘real life’ chalupa doesn’t match the engorged one they seen on our menu board. It’s all planned to make you want to eat it, its called advertising, there is no difference between false advertising and ‘regular’ advertising. It’s all aimed to fool your weak mind into wanting it. Subliminal? Now eat your taco and like it.
these subtitles r waaaaay off
I hope that was a joke about it being authentic… but somehow it didn’t sound like a joke
I work at taco bell and I know it’s not meat it’s ground up crap
I work at a Taco Bell, and as a matter of fact I’m on my 30 minute break as I type this.
This just breaks my heart to listen to her shenanigans
Another neat video ruined by an obnoxious advertisement. When are people going to learn?!
I heard taco bell swapping lies about their meat containing 88% beef on tacobell.com

@excelerater ITS ABOUT TIME SOMEONE EXPOSED TACO BELL FOR PASSING OFF THAT BEEF FLAVORED BEAN DIP FOR GROUND BEEF – IVE COMPLAINED ABOUT IT FOR 25 YRS
boil in bag beef………TACOBELL FTL
This is why I get chicken or steak chalupas. When you ask for ground beef, they are cheap-asses and give you a very small layer of beef. So it seems all fast food places are cutting back on their meat distribution generosity. You used to get about a 1 1/2 inch layer of beef on chalupas, now you get less than an inch. Same thing with Subway, 4 slices of meat and A LOT of filler. Quiznos > Subway Chipotle > Taco bell
@sofaking1111 ahahaha
You have beautiful *******.
@219kiss where i go its not even delicious
