The federal court of California filed a lawsuit against Taco Bell for allegedly not having enough meat in their beef recipe. The court claims that the recipe only calls for 35 percent real beef and the rest of the mixture is seasoning and preservatives. They say that the combination isn’t healthy to feed to people. Taco Bell, however, has fought back and claims in their “Thank you for Suing Us” campaign that their meat is 88 percent beef and only 12 percent seasoning.
In the “Thank you for Suing Us” campaign, Taco Bell reveals the beef’s entire recipe. Revealing this information doesn’t seem like the kind of thing that a company would do if it had something to hide. Taco Bell is being very open and honest about everything, which seems to be the behavior of a confident corporation. Along with the company’s confidence, they claim that the beef has had the same recipe since the first day that they opened. And since there have not been any health problems involving the meat in all those years, the concern that the beef isn’t healthy to feed people has no grounds. Even if the California federal court were right, they have no way to really prove it, and, clearly, it’s not an issue to the public. California needs to focus on bigger issues. Taco Bell is probably one of the healthiest fast food restaurants in the United States (as far as “healthy” can go in a fast food joint). If anything, Burger King should be checked out because there is no way that their meat is real or half okay to eat.
