    I worked for Taco Bell in the 70’s, and we cooked fresh beef with a seasoning pouch in big pans. The beans were hand sorted and cooked each morning in big pressure cookers. I think now it all is shipped in from an undisclosed location in plastic bags 😂

      They also used to put more than a single tablespoon of beef in a taco. I stopped going because of the shitty effort in the food usually. I think they are family owned places trying to be cheap asf.

      When I worked at Taco Bell in the 90s, the beef was in the bags like in this video, and frozen. You had to plop them in big pots of hot water to "reanimate" them. Beans were dried flakes you added hot water to. Only the vegetables were fresh.

    I worked at Taco Bell in the 70s I was in my twenties. We would prepare the ground beef in big skillets and it was real ground beef we would add the Taco Bell spices to it. We would make the refried beans from scratch. We used big pressure cookers. Then we would blend the beans with big blenders and add the spices to the beans then we would put them in great big tubs and put them in the refrigerator overnight the next day we would serve the refried beans. That is when Taco Bell was really good. With good wholesome ingredients.

    100% beef vs 100% meat...when I was a kid my father dated a woman who worked for a large Canadian meat company. She brought home a print out of their bologna recipes one day. Depending on what cuts were available they would alter the recipe but the base for all of them was 35% eyeball. Their bologna was heavily marketed as "100% all beef". I never ate bologna again after that.

    I used to work for Taco Bell and done so for like 8 year this was before they had a breakfast menu. During the time I worked for them the three kinds of meat which is Beef, Chicken, Steak came in bags. Which was then placed in a machine which held hot water for the desired time to be heated up.
    As for the refried beans they came dehydrated in bag and kept on a shelf in the back. When more refried beans was needed we just opened a bag and put it in a pan and added the correct amount of very hot water. At which point we placed a time on the pan and after like an hour the refried beans was ready to be used.
    The 100% truth is when Taco Bell first opened up in the morning to serve lunch and you ordered food. You are in fact was eating Beef, Chicken, Steak and refried beans from the night shift after the store closed. So if you want fresh it's best to wait for least an hour before going there to get food.
    I can't comment about their breakfast menu since they did not have one when I worked for them.

    No matter what, Taco Bell satisfies. We all know that sudden craving for some of those tacos. I also order beef burritos and though rarely on the menu, they make them for me. I also make it at home. The secret is putting the fried ground beef, cooked with onions, into the food processor and cutting it up really fine until you get those crumbles. Then return it to the pan and add some water and taco seasoning and simmer until a good consistency, at least 15 minutes. I fry up corn tortillas and make beef tostadas. Primo!

    I am going to be %100 honest here. That last time I ate at Taco Bell, last Thursday, I woke up to a nasty surprise early Friday morning like 1 am. Yes, I had the runs, luckily only a little seeped out while I was sleeping and made it to the toilet before the floodgates let go. I spent the next 24 hours dumping my guts out. It was horrible. I got no sleep, I HAD to go to work in this condition, I couldn't afford not to go as I was the covering shift leader that day. Years before I had gotten violently ill from a bad chicken quesadilla and swore off Taco Bell for a long time. I decided to try again as I heard their quality had improved. I went a few times and was ok. Then I got sick last week with the worst smelling diarrhea since the last time I got sick there. Lesson learned, I am Fucking Done with Taco Bell. Nasty rumor, NO. Nasty butt juice, YES. DONE.

Companies are allowed to poison us, just as long as they use amounts that are less than %1 (which they can count as zero), and if the company is big enough (like Coca-cola) they can pay for studies that say sugar isn’t bad as fat. We now know it’s worse.

    Last month I had TB.. their 5 Layer. Well, I got food poisoning for the first and only time in my life. Interestingly, too, as I was on the toilet AND vomiting at the same time, I kept noticing that my body had not digested the meat slurry *at all.* It looked the same as when I had eaten it. This 5 Layer had been mostly that meat, and it was huge.
    After several vomiting rounds and seeing that indeed all I was throwing up was the meat- I began to realize that as this meat was leaving my body, I was feeling better and better. My body had absorbed all the juice from the meat and the dry meat seemed only left, maybe undigestable to my system.
    When I was better several days later I left a scathing review on that restaurant's Google page and decided that most fast food isn't worth my trust or money even if I'm starving. I'll never eat TB again.

    I worked at one of the first Taco bells in the late 70's on Rosecrans Blvd in Paramount CA
    Everything they made in the little walk up only window was made from scratch
    The lettuce came full heads in boxes , beans where made with lard water and salt and beans cooked in the morning
    Meat was in 10 lb tubes and a packet of seasoning like at home..
    Cheese was in 6lb blocks shredded on site and the tortillas where raw and that was my job cooking them in shells all morning..
    A taco was 25 cents burrito supreme was I think 89 cents.

But what is a taco bell? lol. completely bizarre made up stuff from traditional gringos. It's worse than the Chebacca defense. It makes not sense, therefore, you have to reject it. lol. I'm Chicano myself and grew up in L.A. County and we ate rice and beans almost every day but we all still liked their tacos. Even though it's not really Mexican food, it's "Mexican inspired" and was super cheap and tasty enough. Goofy name. Goofy image. But at one point was good enough to stop by and pick up half a dozen "tacos".

    When I was a kid used to love Taco Bell! When I turned 16 I got a job there. In the two weeks I was there I seen how the food was made and reused even for the next day, coming out of pre made bags just the same way you see here, then stirring in leftovers from the previous day saved at closing time. After I had seen all of it and what it was. I was so grossed out I quit the job and made a run for the border. I never looked back. I am 55 this July that just passed. I have not eaten Taco Bell since then. I never will again. Ive lived pretty well so far in life and probably because I have not eaten crap like this that most Americans eat. I make all my own food and I hardly eat out at all anywhere. I think its been probably 7 year since I ate at a Red Lobster for coconut shrimp. Before that, I cannot recall that last time a t a restaurant. I have had Mc Donalds coffee though. Even then, thats been over a year now. What can I say, I like eating healthier and knowing what's going into my food that I also grow. My own home grow garlic, unions, turmeric, peppers, lettuce tomato, spinach, broccoli, nearly all types of berries you find in stores. So much better tasting too! But berries do not last long fresh so I freeze and dehydrate them when I get too much. But Taco Bell? Yuck!

      Ironically, though, they've come out with a "veggie burrito supreme" which substitutes black beans for the meat, and I like it better than the meat burrito supreme!

    Trehalose is extracted from starch. It's not created from 'insect cocoons', as implied in this video. It's found in them, along with different types of fungus, plants, bacteria, etc., in nature. The derivative used in food production is a synthetic that's extracted in a lab, from corn starch mostly. The other ingredients (preservatives) are found in tons and tons of foods eaten daily, found both on grocery stores shelves and in restaurants nationwide. Just like as he tried to imply with the torula yeast (MOSTLY FOUND IN DOGFOOD!!11!1!), this video is very much biased and attempting to shock and scare the audience, by basically falsely implying there's ALL THIS WEIRD SHXT IN YOUR FOOD MAN!11!1, when in reality, nothing is "100% all beef!!!!". You wouldn't want that. No salt? No pepper? No spices? No preservatives at all? The food would taste like sawdust and have no shelf life. Taco Bell is definitely not the best place in the world to eat, but this video is very click-bait.
