    They use sub-standard ingredients in the least responsible way possible, and have been the subject of multiple food outbreaks and recalls going back to the 80’s, when I’m pretty sure they were called out for using lower grade (by USDA standards) meat.

    Then at some point they got caught for using Horse Meat in their food, and I think that sort of clenches it.

      Ya spreading some bullshit here

      No horse meat was ever found in Taco Bell meat in the United States

      Traces of horse DNA (less than 1%) were found in Taco Bell meat in the UK due to shared processing equipment at upstream suppliers, at a time where supermarkets were selling up to 30% horse mixed in with beef (at Tesco)

      The meat lawsuit you mention was also bullshit, and Taco Bell won that, proving their beef was of high quality and purity

      Taco Bell has a fantastic track record. They were the ones that tested the lettuce, cut it off from sale, and blew the whistle on the supplier publicly
