I'm sure you've all heard the details about the fake beef suit by now (someone sued Taco Bell for false advertising/using fake beef in January and then quietly withdrew the suit 4 months later), so now Taco Bell is proudly telling the world that their "taco filling" is 88% beef:
But you know what? I don't care if the taco filling is 88% beef, 100% beef or 0% beef. As long as it tastes like Taco Bell and wont make me sick, I might actually prefer a healthier, fake beef. I'm sure the taste is all in the magical seasoning anyway, so why not just make it healthier and more inclusive? At the very least, they should use this almost scandal to launch a new, vegetarian-friendly line of taco fillings. Some lame-ass law firm in Montegomery, Ala., may have just given Taco Bell the opportunity to market a unique new product for the Taco Bell-loving vegetarians who are sick of ordering 7-Layer burritos (though, to Taco Bell's credit, and in my completely unbiased opinion, they do have the best and most substantive veggie option of the fast food power houses). GO FOR IT, TACO BELL!
What do you think, Taco Bell lovers (and likers): would you eat a fake beef burrito if it tasted exactly the same? What if it were healthier? What about you vegetarians out there, are you satisfied with your 7-layer burrito option, or are you craving a Soy Crumble Chalupa Supreme or a Seitan Gordita?
