How about we investigate the farmers who are forcing their workers to shit in a hole at the side of the field then selling crops contaminated with said shit?
Every thread about taco bell has people making jokes about it causing diarrhea and others pointing out that it doesn't unless your diet is already awful. What these threads never seem to have is anyone saying that taco bell gives them diarrhea.
So does anyone actually know anyone that gets sick from normal taco bell? Or is everyone just parroting a factoid
I don't get the taco bell jokes either. Never had an issue from eating there.
Burger king on the other hand...
I swear the people who have "stomach issues" from Taco Bell just aren't used to eating any fiber.
Burger King's success baffles me. That place is so gross
Of the four times I've gotten food poisoning in my life, once was from a taco bell. In college. At 2am, January 1st. Honestly you'd have gotten food poisoning anywhere open two hours after New Years.
I always wondered if it is more about the employees/hygiene at Taco Bell and less about the actual food.
Taco bell doesn't usually cause diarrhea for me. I don't understand these jokes.
I've not had digestive issues from taco bell, but that ancedote is only worth what you paid for it.
Yet people rush to bring it up every time
Runaway memetic phenomenon
It does for me, but I have IBS. Anyone I've met who had Taco Bell issues similarly had digestive issues. We tend to run in packs and decimate public toilets.
Sounds like the IBS is what's giving you diarrhea lol
¿Porque no los dos?
Of course I would see this article posted after I just ate Taco Bell. FAFO, I suppose :D
Good luck!
Thanks! I think I'm going to need it :D
We're in this together, curse you soft tacos!!!!!
Same. I hadn't had Taco Bell in years and had a craving last week. Immediately after eating my meal I had to drop the kids off at the pool while searching why Taco Bell does that specifically to us so immediately. I think I'm in the clear though, just the normal Taco Bell reaction.
I thought for Taco Bell, diarrhea was a feature not a bug.
Only if you don't get enough fiber. People have issues only because their menu items are mostly beans, aka high fiber
Between that and the way they use dairy cow beef that would otherwise go to waste I just keep hearing good things about this place
until the parasites at least
The president of YUM foods is (was?) a Trump supporter. I’ve boycotted Taco Bell since like 2017 or 18 when I learned of this. Also fuck Pizza Hut and KFC too
Almost every major corporate American CEO has shown super for Trump and the fascists more broadly at some point, trying to boycott every company run by them is both too expensive and unreasonably difficult for me and most people, so that doesn't mean much to me. Boycotting means very little in this case compared to using the government to force changes across all industry everywhere. My main issue with Taco Bell and other YUM brands is their extraordinary-even-for-their-industry exploitation of workers, but again, that's nearly universal across fast food (though I do mostly boycott that industry entirely).
While some infected individuals reported eating at Taco Bell, others had not, an indication that the outbreak is not confined to the chain.
It's just pre-prepped produce.
Oh, big surprise.
Crisis over, just normal reactions to eating Taco Bell. Nothing to see here. Seriously, don't look.
It's not Taco Bell, it's prewashed pre bagged lettuce that's suspected to be the culprit.
Also if eating Taco Bell is usually causing you diarrhea you have some underlying health issue going on.
Let me sing for you, the IBS anthem...
Brings back memories of a bathroom stall that had graffiti that said "flush twice, it's a long way up to Taco Bell." There was indeed a Taco Bell upstairs.
So you're telling me that those jokes about Taco Bell suddenly became true?
Those weren’t jokes
The best jokes are based on reality.
Why? Taco Bell has already been giving people explosive diarrhea for decades.
They should be investigated! How the fuck did normal Taco Bell break containment and get into grocery store produce????
Throw the book at them! I got a case so bad I nearly broke my skull and the bog cracked.
When i worked at the mall we didn't have staff bathrooms so we'd often have to listen to someone in a nearby stall ringing the taco bells.
