Does anyone eat Taco Bell?

I can't quite figure out who eats this stuff. Is there some confusion that would lead one to believe that it is actual food?

Perplexing.

There are plenty of people who eat TacoBell (not me) Just look at the ever expanding mid sections of the average American. Fast food is easy, but I don't think it should be considered "food".

I eat it on occasion.

I usually avoid fast food like the plague but know and then won't kill you.

Way, way to greasy.

I make tacos myself at home. I developed a way to get almost all of the grease out of the hamburger meat. Cook the meat in the microwave, 2-3 minutes at a time, stir, and repeat. Once it is cooked, mash it with a potato masher. Strain with a plastic colander and place in the microwave with a bowl underneath. Heat 1 min and then stir, then again. The oil drains completely out of the meat.

Place in a new bowl with the taco mix. Add 2 oz water, mix and heat in the microwave. It will be the best, greaseless taco meat you'll have.

Eliminate the fat and grease out of hamburger and you have saw dust.

I recently did, for the first time in my life, while on a road trip.

It was like nothing I had ever tasted before. In fact it didn't taste like food at all. It tasted of cardboard, styrofoam and benzene. Even the guacamole tasted synthetic. Unbelievable really.

Agreed. That is what gives it the flavor. But what do I know, I've been known to frequent the Taco Bell.

I eat fast food maybe once every 4 months, I am not a fan of Mexican food period, so I can count on one hand the times I have been in a Taco Bell my entire life.

My wife and kid like it, I hate it.

I call it Taco Hell.

Hamburger fat = beef tallow, i.e. candle wax

i prefer the generic Mexican rest. nearby but Taco Bell is good enough to fill my belly.

at home we only make turkey tacos as they are much better tasting.

I believe we all make mistakes but I will not validate your poor choices and/or perversions and subsidize the results your actions.

What are you guys talking about? Yum! Brands is doing very well.

They list their average 2006 US sales per system unit at Taco Bell as $1,176,000 so someone eats there.

Of course, any other kind of Mexican food is better. No one eats at Taco Bell when they have time for something better. But when I don't feel like dealing with a sit down restaurant and server and all that, the Bell will do once in a while. Taco Bueno in TX is much better.
