Taco Bell May Countersue Group That Sued Over Beef

Slashfood:

Taco Bell is really not letting this whole beef lawsuit controversy go.

Here is the rough sequence of events: Taco Bell was sued for allegedly not using real beef, and Taco Bell fired back claiming that the charges were bogus. It launched an aggressive campaign to de-bunk the claims. The suit was dropped. Taco Bell demanded an apology.

And the lawyers will walk away fat as usual. I like Taco Bell once in a while but the challenge when I go to the one nearest me is getting someone to take my order. I made my once a month or two visit this past week. Stood at the counter while several people walked around behind not even recognising my presence and after 10 cars went through the drive through (I always give them 10 cars because the drive through is obviously more important than my order at the counter - -- I don't allow open smelly food in my car)
I left and went to a grease burger joint. I'll probably try again in a couple of months, ever hopefull.

The best part is Taco Bell's "vigorous debunking" the claim that their beef is some kind of beef-like matter but not beef. Take a pile of the goop to the lab and find out what's in it. It's either what the company claims it is or it isn't.

they will lose. there is a plant in illinois that makes the TVP texture vegetable proteing( soy bean) that goes into their tacos. try googling tvp and taco meat.

Taco Bell food has so much MSG in it I can't touch the stuff anyway.

Since Taco Bell is skating through the loophole between the legal definition of beef and what they hope they mean by beef, they should be quiet.

one of the good things about living on the working class side of town is that I get my take-out tacos from true-blue Mexican run taco stands

i hope taco bell does counter sue the group out of existence. the suit that started all this is the kind of frivolous lawsuit that make a mockery of our civil justice system. they should be made to pay for slander and all associated court costs.

lol.  Get over it?  Ask anyone on the street how much beef is in taco bell and you will get answers in the 30% range thanks to the original claims and law suit.  Just dropping the suit isn't going to change the damage thats already been done.

Um, it ISN'T all beef. It may not be 30-something percent, but it's definitely not 100%. And people are still going to eat there no matter what. No "damage" has been done.

Right, like asking people on the street is the path to an authoritative answer. Go out and ask people on the street what their tax rate is, how much electricity their TV uses, or any number of other bits of trivia they actually could know ... you still won't get a correct answer. The man on the street is only an authority in ignorance.
