A lot of these Mexican joints really don't serve Mex food, it's a bastardized version of it. Plus, if you go to some in the barrio you can probably find one using cheese created in the tub. I don't know which I would find more bothersome, bathtub cheese or Taco Bell.
Bathtub cheese, oh man, that's brutal on my imagination.
OMG that was one of the grossest things I have seen other than Satx's Mexican dish.
I'm just happy being a plain jane eater....I was raised Irish, meat, potato and vegetable even thou my mom was Italian....I can't even eat spaghetti, I buy Angel Hair for myself when we have a spaghetti dinner so I can just swallow it. I don't even like pizza, imagine that!!! How many Italians do you know that don't like pizza???

Taco Bell sued: Lawsuit filed in beef over Taco Bell 'meat' - latimes.com (http://www.latimes.com/news/nationworld/nation/wire/fl-taco-bell-suit-20110124,0,3088351.story - broken link)
It says Taco Bell's ground beef is made of such components as water, isolated oat product, wheat oats, soy lecithin, maltodextrin, anti-dusting agent, autolyzed yeast extract, modified corn starch and sodium phosphate, as well as some beef and seasonings.
Just 35 percent of the taco filling was a solid, and just 15 percent overall was protein, said attorney W. Daniel "Dee" Miles III of the Montgomery, Ala., law firm Beasley Allen, which filed the suit.
They'll lose the lawsuit, make some major payments, and from that day forward you'll never hear the words "meat" or "beef" in any of their advertisements, or on their menus. The one thing you can count on is that they won't replace their chemicals and fillers with anything as expensive as real beef.
The issue here isn't whether the food is healthy or not. The issue is whether it's beef. Clearly it isn't beef and should not be called that in their advertising.
Anyone have suggestions as to what they should call it?
Beefee tacos?
Beeph?
I actually think the fact that it has very little beef in it makes it healthier. The beef fast food restaurants use is poison.
Thanks for this thread and all the replies that reinforced my commitment to stay hungry rather than ever eat fast food at any of the popular American chains.
If I'm away from home, I either pack my own lunch or wait until I get home for dinner, where the only ground beef I eat is what I selected at the butcher's and watched him grind up for me while I watched.

Hey, they get away with calling American 'Cheese' cheese.
Look at the package a little more closely and you'll see it's actually "American Pasteurized Cheese Food Product". (I still love the stuff, though. makes the best grilled cheese sammidge.)

Then I think the menu at Taco Bell should have a "Beeph and Cheez Taco."
I never eat that crap. So I could personally care less what's in it, except that the lard asses who eat this stuff everyday make my health insurance more expensive.
