I am angry at Dennis Kucinich for suing for $150K for tooth damage by an olive pit. OTOH I don't care how much beef Taco Bell puts in their tacos. The Taco Bell story comes from a lawsuit filed by class action lawyers looking to sue someone with deep pockets. YUM Brands qualifies.

Ted, > if Taco Bell is doing it, they all are. No way. The fast food restaurant business is very competitive. There are so many alternatives to Taco Smell. > Actually, you do have a choice.......you can afford to not eat fast food. Not true for those with lesser incomes. There are many choices, even for the poor. They choose fast food not because of affordability, but because of lifestyle choices that have been influenced by their circumstances. That's why we have so many fat poor people in America. "Oh I'm poor, so all I can afford is McDonald's." What a load of crap. It costs virtually nothing to live healthy. Tenchusatsu

Ted, I seriously hope this was a misquote: > Taco Bell quickly denied the accusation. "The lawsuit is bogus and filled with completely inaccurate facts," Taco Bell President Greg Creed said in an interview with The Associated Press. If a fact is "completely inaccurate," doesn't it cease to be a "fact"? Taco Bell fights back on beef lawsuit with ad push cnbc.com Should be interesting to see what comes of this. If the lawfirm is completely wrong in its "35% beef" assertion, they face a very huge libel countersuit. On the other hand, if Taco Hell is caught using majority "meat extenders" in their food, they're going to suffer big time. Tenchusatsu
