Now that the founder, Glen W. Bell Jr., is mercifully dead, It is time to reassess. Not that I would eat the stuff myself, nor let any of my family touch it (except perhaps twice or three times a week for the servants, who seem to like that sort of thing) but there seems to be some unChristian faith here.
When you buy a meal that uses the word "Beef" in the title, do you expect there to actually be beef in it? I see no reason why there should be - there are no nigras in nigra brown wool, no people from Hamburg in hamburgers and no Mexicans in Mexican Sauce, so what were you expecting?
The other thing is that we know that there are fats, proteins, carbohydrates, etc., in food and that is all that matters - their packaging is irrelevant.
"Oh," I hear you say, "Bathfire is upset that his Taco Bell stocks might fall further."
Well, that attitude makes me sick! It is the blatant disregard for God's Word that annoys me more than anything else. God told us that if He made it out of meat, then you can eat it:
Acts 10:9 On the morrow, as they went on their journey, and drew nigh unto the city, Peter went up upon the housetop to pray about the sixth hour:
10 And he became very hungry, and would have eaten: but while they made ready, he fell into a trance,
11 And saw heaven opened, and a certain vessel descending upon him, as it had been a great sheet knit at the four corners, and let down to the earth:
12 Wherein were all manner of fourfooted beasts of the earth, and wild beasts, and creeping things, and fowls of the air.
13 And there came a voice to him, Rise, Peter; kill, and eat.
14 But Peter said, Not so, Lord; for I have never eaten any thing that is common or unclean.
15 And the voice spake unto him again the second time, What God hath cleansed, that call not thou common.
16 This was done thrice: and the vessel was received up again into heaven.
Jesus tells us the exact same but in different words:
Mat 15:11 Not that which goeth into the mouth defileth a man; but that which cometh out of the mouth, this defileth a man.
So I would advise you to send out your women-folk, children and servants to the nearest Taco Bell and have them eat a few of the beefiest meals they can find in an expression of solidarity with The One True God.
MONTGOMERY, Ala. — An Alabama law firm claims in a lawsuit that Taco Bell is using false advertising when it refers to using "seasoned ground beef" or "seasoned beef" in its products.
The meat mixture sold by Taco Bell restaurants contains binders and extenders and does not meet the minimum requirements set by the U.S. Department of Agriculture to be labeled as "beef," according to the legal complaint.
The class-action lawsuit was filed Friday in federal court in the Central District of California by the Montgomery law firm Beasley, Allen, Crow, Methvin, Portis & Miles.
Attorney Dee Miles said attorneys had Taco Bell's "meat mixture" tested and found it contained less that 35 percent beef.
Miles said the lawsuit does not seek monetary damages, but asks the court to order Taco Bell to be honest in its advertising.
"We are asking that they stop saying that they are selling beef," Miles said.

Irvine, Calif.-based Taco Bell spokesman Rob Poetsch (PAYCH) said the company denies that its advertising is misleading.
"Taco Bell prides itself on serving high quality Mexican inspired food with great value. We're happy that the millions of customers we serve every week agree," Poetsch said. He said the company would "vigorously defend the suit."
The lawsuit says that Taco Bell's "seasoned beef" contains other ingredients, including water, wheat oats, soy lecithin, maltodrextrin, anti-dusting agent and modified corn starch.
