Taco Bell Defends its 88% Beef

**BadlandsVikings** · 02-01-2011, 12:11 AM

If Taco Bell’s beef is 88 percent ground beef and 12 percent secret recipe, can it still be called ground beef? The Yum Brand says yes, and is running a full-page “Thank You For Suing Us” ad today in USA Today, the Wall Street Journal, and New York Times responding to a lawsuit accusing the fast-food chain of not meeting USDA standards for marketing its meat..

The other 12% is a top-secret blend of Ex-Lax and dysentery-infected weasel intestines.

Lol. Either that or an easy way to get rid of obnoxious talking Chihuahua's that have huge severance packages.

If Taco Bell’s beef is 88 percent ground beef......

Any part of the cows meat is considered "beef". That would include cheeks, jowls lips, penis, etc....

If you are going to Taco Bell, its not to eat healthy. Its usually to punish yourself. Who cares how much beef is in there as long as it tastes good and doesn't kill me.
