We went to taco hell to get a quick bite and I got to thinking, didnt their slogan or saying used to be 'Run for the Border'?

Wonder why they changed it? Did someone complain or am I just stuck in the previous decade?

Even the wife remembers the slogan and wants to know too

I work for a company that makes pet food (and other things).  One of the plants got another company's order of meat one time.  Same exact stuff we ordered, but it wasn't ours.  It was Taco Bell's.  Yes, they use the same meat in their tacos that we use in dog food.  Either we make some high quality pet food, or Taco Bell makes some low quality tacos.

Stick a soft taco in the fridge over night.  Look at the meat the next day after it re coagulates.

Congealed fat looks nasty regardless of whether it is in a fast food taco, or my wifes sloppy joe's.  It is food, it is OK to eat, and is supposed to be heated up anyway, so who gives a shit how it looks when it comes right out of the fridge?

Oh man, that was the what we did after a night at the clubs. Especially if you never did get that chick's phone number.

It would suck the next morning too. Because there would be a trail of orange cheese from the seat of the car to the bed.

My ex-girlfriend in college worked for a Taco Bell in Lima, OH.

I don't know if all Toxic Hell's use the same meat source, but I have a good story....

She brought some boxes to me when I was moving into an apartment, and the box didn't say Grade "A" or "B" beef, it said, in very generic lettering....

BEEF

Fit for human consumption.

I still eat there sometimes though

I eat way too much meat.  But taco bell's meat filler...  (note that they can't actually call it MEAT) takes unhealthy to new levels!!   It's like 20 percent lard or some shit!!

I guess the same people who run the cheapest ammo they can get, also eat the cheapest food they can get!

I still eat there sometimes though   In highschool, a friend and I made our way into the cafeteria kitchen area (don't ask) and saw boxes of hamburgers which said "Grade E, but edible" on them.  Yummy!  Perhaps "Fit for human consumption" is the gubment's new designation for "Grade E" beef.

Taco Bell ground beef is one of the lowest 3 grades: Utility, Cutter, or Canner.
However, the USDA grades are  based on ithe beef's marbling (for steaks and other cuts), not on its food quality (it's either fit to be consumed, or not). For ground beef, it doesn't really matter too much.

What does matter, however, is how the meat is handled after it's thawed. You could stick the world's most expensive Kobe beef through a Taco Bell, and one stupid Emo kid who doesn't wash his hands after taking a big stinky dump could contaminate the whole mess.

Thus, I think Taco Bell (and other fine fast food establishments) should be rated on the cleanliness of the store and the thoughtfulness of its employees, not on its grade of beef.
