Bee: hilarious!</p> <p>I don't eat there, but one of my sisters loves it so much that he gives it up for Lent each year and she struggles with that. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/what-are-your-thoughts-on-taco-bell/page/2#post-490206 Tue, 08 Jan 2013 22:59:00 +0000 Arden 490206@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I'm just going to say, in defense of Taco Bell:</p> <p>In college I worked at a few fast food places, including Taco Bell. It was, by a long shot, the cleanest fast food place I've ever seen. They prepare their food WAY more carefully than say, McDonalds. They also have much more "real" food, and a lot more healthy options than most fast food joints. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/what-are-your-thoughts-on-taco-bell/page/2#post-489991 Tue, 08 Jan 2013 21:40:32 +0000 derevival 489991@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Hate it. Quality of food is below par and I've gotten sick whenever I've eaten there. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/what-are-your-thoughts-on-taco-bell/page/2#post-489976 Tue, 08 Jan 2013 21:32:53 +0000 allison 489976@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I love fries, so any fast food place that doesn't serve fries doesn't get my attention! Ha. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/what-are-your-thoughts-on-taco-bell/page/2#post-489696 Tue, 08 Jan 2013 19:38:03 +0000 holdonforonemoreday 489696@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@Mrs. Jacks: Also very funny...

DH loves it. I'll eat it once in a blue moon. The last time I had it was probably 2 years ago... </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/what-are-your-thoughts-on-taco-bell/page/2#post-489605 Tue, 08 Jan 2013 18:27:27 +0000 DigAPony 489605@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I love it, but I acknowledge that it is completely crap food and terrible for you. It's a guilty pleasure that I have maybe once a month. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/what-are-your-thoughts-on-taco-bell/page/2#post-489598 Tue, 08 Jan 2013 18:24:13 +0000 lemondrop 489598@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Guilty pleasure... It was one of the few things I found palatable during pregnancy. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/what-are-your-thoughts-on-taco-bell/page/2#post-489568 Tue, 08 Jan 2013 17:59:35 +0000 Alivoo01 489568@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>It isn't our go to fast food Mexican joint, but when we do go I get their chicken burrito. So good! Hubby likes their mexican pizza and some type of taco. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/what-are-your-thoughts-on-taco-bell/page/2#post-489567 Tue, 08 Jan 2013 17:59:27 +0000 Mrs. Jacks 489567@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>We always joked that Taco Bell is so cheap because it's not food you buy, it's food you rent! (with respect to the GI issues associated with it!) </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/what-are-your-thoughts-on-taco-bell/page/2#post-489563 Tue, 08 Jan 2013 17:54:38 +0000 lovehoneybee 489563@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@me0wmeeh: We actually went to TB on our wedding night...nothing else was open at 2am when I decided I needed to refuel. It was awesome. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/what-are-your-thoughts-on-taco-bell/page/2#post-489557 Tue, 08 Jan 2013 17:47:55 +0000 Rainbow Sprinkles 489557@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>my thoughts are that it should be in and around my mouth right this minute. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/what-are-your-thoughts-on-taco-bell/page/2#post-489550 Tue, 08 Jan 2013 17:44:44 +0000 Grace 489550@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>The Taco Bell in Canada (my part anyways), doesn't make the chalupas right, so in university, my roommates and I would make the 2.5 hr drive across the border to get the American ones. So yeah, I love Taco Bell. :D </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/what-are-your-thoughts-on-taco-bell/page/2#post-489431 Tue, 08 Jan 2013 16:40:21 +0000 teamjse 489431@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>DH loves Taco Bell but pays for it the day after. Natural laxatives I like to call it. However, Taco Bell is always awesome after midnight. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/what-are-your-thoughts-on-taco-bell/page/2#post-489425 Tue, 08 Jan 2013 16:37:59 +0000 Freckles 489425@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I used to eat there almost every day until my friend worked there one summer. She is the junk food queen, and if she refused to eat there afterwards, then i definitely wouldn't touch it with a 10 ft pole! I've avoided it for almost 14 years! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/what-are-your-thoughts-on-taco-bell/page/2#post-489405 Tue, 08 Jan 2013 16:28:56 +0000 Penny Lane 489405@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Never tried it. Not sure I want to ;) </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/what-are-your-thoughts-on-taco-bell/page/2#post-489368 Tue, 08 Jan 2013 16:13:45 +0000 Mrsbells 489368@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Hate taco bell. Their ground beef isnt even real beef, it only has like 35% beef and the rest is filler </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/what-are-your-thoughts-on-taco-bell/page/2#post-489351 Tue, 08 Jan 2013 16:09:08 +0000 LindsayInNY 489351@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I love it but refuse to watch them make my food! I don't need to see my beans scooped with an ice cream scoop, LOL! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/what-are-your-thoughts-on-taco-bell/page/2#post-489334 Tue, 08 Jan 2013 16:00:43 +0000 sorrycharlie 489334@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@JoJoGirl: it is near me at least, lol! i'm in RI </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/what-are-your-thoughts-on-taco-bell/page/2#post-489322 Tue, 08 Jan 2013 15:55:17 +0000 nana87 489322@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@rachiecakes: totally, totally agree! as a vegetarian, taco bell is by far one of the best options for fast food. i like chipotle better, but on road trips, for example, i'll take taco bell over other options that are typically available in rest stops in a heartbeat since usually i can only eat fries otherwise </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/what-are-your-thoughts-on-taco-bell/page/2#post-489286 Tue, 08 Jan 2013 15:38:40 +0000 wheres_c 489286@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>ditto @rachiecakes: wish more restaurants would have veggie options. Lived on bean burritos during second tri but generally eat healthier. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/what-are-your-thoughts-on-taco-bell#post-489285 Tue, 08 Jan 2013 15:38:30 +0000 blackbird 489285@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>haha it is. I'm sure they use a crappy beef whereas I always buy ground sirloin. </p> <p>sodium phosphate is in things like soda or foods to increase shelf life...so maybe by "it's at the grocery store", they mean it's contained in other foods? lol.</p> <p>the sheet totally made it sound like, "we use the same beef you buy at the store!" Though. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/what-are-your-thoughts-on-taco-bell#post-489275 Tue, 08 Jan 2013 15:35:41 +0000 JoJoGirl 489275@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@blackbird: I'm not sure I've ever seen "sodium phosphate" in a grocery store, hehe. Plus the beef I buy at the store is perfectly textured so I don't know what they're doing to it! Oh Taco Bell, your marketing department is brilliant. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/what-are-your-thoughts-on-taco-bell#post-489267 Tue, 08 Jan 2013 15:33:22 +0000 blackbird 489267@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@jojogirl, no seriously. I remember reading it and being surprised. BUT it's not 100% beef:</p> <p>OK the Taco Bell website says: "Our seasoned beef recipe consists of 88% Premium Beef and 12% Signature Recipe."</p> <p>The 12% consists of: "Many of them are items you might use at home such as salt, peppers, and spices. Ingredients like oats and sodium phosphates help make sure the texture is right."</p> <p>Maybe the paper was saying the items are all 100% approved or something. I do remember it saying "all items you'd find in your grocery store" like it was no big deal. </p> <p>There's actually a whole link that discusses this: <a href="http://www.tacobell.com/nutrition/foodfacts/BeefQuality/BeefIngredientFAQ" rel="nofollow">http://www.tacobell.com/nutrition/foodfacts/BeefQuality/BeefIngredientFAQ</a> </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/what-are-your-thoughts-on-taco-bell#post-489263 Tue, 08 Jan 2013 15:31:04 +0000 JoJoGirl 489263@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@blackbird: WHAT? really? i'd expect it would be mcdonald's-grade ground beef, all pink stuff just to meet the requirement to be called beef (like 65% actual beef?). That's fascinating. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/what-are-your-thoughts-on-taco-bell#post-489261 Tue, 08 Jan 2013 15:29:53 +0000 JoJoGirl 489261@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@sorrycharlie: Ha ha! I don't think TB is big in New England in general.. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/what-are-your-thoughts-on-taco-bell#post-489208 Tue, 08 Jan 2013 15:08:26 +0000 ladyfingers 489208@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I loooooove Taco Bell but I always feel so gross and guilty after. </p>
