I love spicy food, and I used to sneak out to Taco bell during errands (not that they're actually spicy). After about 5 times of eating there, I started having digestive issues, which went away once I stopped eating there. I still like their burritos, but will only go there once in a long while. Those taco bell shit memes have a kernel of truth in them, yo.
In Canada, our meat standards are different than in the US. This makes Taco Bell much more expensive to the point where it isn't really a cheap option like it is in the States.
On the other hand, the "post-Taco Bell squits" isn't really a phenomenon here, at least in my experience and that of anyone I've talked about it with.
...it isn't exactly a common topic of conversation, to be fair...
This tracks. I once heard from a former employee that the meat they use is literally the same USDA grade used in dog food. Technically edible, but not exactly a high mark for quality.
Well, I'm a vegetarian, so even without the meats, I still got my digestive system messed up. Could be the other ingredients, or it could also be all the sauce packets I guzzled.
Taco Bell is not the place I'd think to go for a vegetarian meal! I'm guessing it was the bean and cheese burritos? Or do they have more veggie options these days?
