Does this imply their beef is actual meat?

Just fuck off.

Nice to see a restaurant take a stand.

>Taco Bell refuses fake meat, changes mind two hours later
Based and beanerpilled

>>12514964
>refried beans and pinto beans offered as substitutes is fake meat
You're a retard, congrats.

for me, it's the cheesy gordita crunch

>>12514939
Marketing, at it's finest.
Shitty fast food joint says they refuse to get any shittier.
We got standards, yo!

>meme about taco Bell meat being fake
>Real fake meat happens and people jump on board
>Taco Bell telling them to fuck off and not carrying this real fake meat
So is their meat real or fake? This is a hard one

>>12514939
It's already sand, wtf more do you want?

>>12516475
>garbage tier meat is less shitty than plant based alternatives
retard

>>12516484
Its real fake not fake fake

>>12516484
Their meat is real meat, but the problem is that only 51% of their meat mix is "meat". The rest is seasonings, oats and soy.

>>12516550
My bad only 88% of their meat mix is meat.

This. Taco Bell doesn’t need beyond inc fake beef because they’ve invested a shitton of R&D on fake beef already and have been serving it in their restaurants for years

>>12516916
They serve real meat idiot.

>>12516977
Mixed with a large % of oats, soybeans, and other shit, of course! Ahh, nothing quite like late stage capitalism.

>>12516550
>s*y
Well that certainly explains everything

>>12516977
I'm pretty sure their ground beef is at least 90% TVP.

>>12514939
Personally, I hate Taco Bell's food, but I don't blame them a fucking bit for saying no to the fake meat trend. First of all, they serve beans, right there is a perfect meat replacement. Secondly, and even more importantly, after all the shit they got for adding oats (or was it soy) to their meat years back, if I were them, I'd be pissed that using fake meat is perfectly okay now.

>>12514939
Everyone with a brain already knew taco bell was based. This is just a reminder.

>>12517100
Closer to 90% beef and 10% soy and oat filler.

>>12514942
their meat is soy and sawdust

>>12517100
from their website
>Beef, water, seasoning [cellulose, chili pepper, maltodextrin, salt, oats (contains wheat), soy lecithin, spices, tomato powder, sugar, onion powder, citric acid, natural flavors (including smoke flavor), torula yeast, cocoa, disodium inosinate & guanylate, dextrose, lactic acid, modified corn starch], salt, sodium phosphates. Contains: Soy, Wheat

>sawdust
I love that stupid people actually believe this meme.

>>12517481
what do you think cellulose is?

>>12517492
cellulose?

>>12517506
boy, you're powerful stupid, ain't ya.

>>12517432
>>12517468
That's kind of surprising considering the texture and how bland it is. It tastes almost the same as those gross frozen TVP filler burgers you can get in convenience stores.

>>12517492
There is cellulose in wood, but it’s just a component. Lignins, for example make up a big part of wood and bark. Cellulose is an indigestible filler, but it’s not sawdust

>>12517530
hyperbole you faggot. learn it. know it. live it.

>>12517555
you are a certifiable turbo faggot
go suck a nut

>>12517571
no. u.

>>12517555
you're the same type of retard who thinks there's actual aluminum in deodorant.

>>12517595
you're the same type of retard who refers to aluminium as aluminum
>you will respect the trips

>>12517607
LMAO YOU BELIEVE IN JUNK SCIENCE OHHHH NO NO NO NO NO

>>12517618
i'm sorry for upsetting you. :(

>>12517607
both are right, my european comrade.

>>12517622
I bet you think global warming is real!

>>12514939
>>just eat beans
isnt the fake meat just beans tho?

>>12517666
the devil has command of your soul. godspeed, anon. godspeed.

>>12517513
Are you eating the meat by itself?

>>12517706
They serve real meat.

>>>12517468
>adding stuff to meat makes it not meat
Here look fake chicken

Fire Grilled Chicken: Chicken, water, seasoning (modified tapioca starch, salt, spices, natural flavors, carrageenan, disodium inosinate & guanylate, sugar, torula yeast, citric acid, maltodextrin, garlic powder, dextrose, onion powder), sodium phosphates.
I mean if you don't know what the words mean it must be fake

>>12517954
>Are you eating the meat by itself?
If you don't put 40 gallons of sauce on it you can tell it has no flavor

>>12514939
VEGANS SHAKING UNCONTROLLABLY FROM TACO BELL'S MEAT

>>12517481
>I love that
No you don’t. You’re SEETHING

>>12517978
Yeah, your tongue might be rotting as we speak. Stop ordering meat in a bowl

>>12518058
Are you shilling for taco bell's grade Z beef?

would have bothered with taco bell but had this for lunch instead

>>12518105
>sad work meeting spread

Are you noticing a toll the daily drinking yourself to sleep is imposing on you yet?

>>12517954
Taco bell shill to the nTh degree lmao.
You want meat to taste good regardless of if youre eating it alone or not. There is no excuse for "meat" that is admittedly mostly indigestible filler. There is nothing "real" about it. No one is talking about seasoned meat. This is a small percentage of low grade beef mixed in with large amounts of useless filler. That chicken you posted has most of its ingredients listed in the fucking seasoning, retard. Those arent fillers that get combined with the meat. Its literal flavored powder. Go choke on a burrito

>>12518114
What the fuck is going on in this pic? Are those cats anesthesized?

>>12514942
I worked at a Taco Bell as a high schooler and the boxes of beef bags said something like "Each pound of beef mixture supplies 9oz of meat per USDA nutritional requirements" on them

>>12518128
no, please, understand
they are japanese cat

>>12518071
>>12518116
>you don't agree with our baseless opinion, you must be a shill!
Let me guess, for you it's a McChicken

>>12518264
>if you don't like shitty fast food A you must eat shitty fast food B

>>12518130
Because they don't mix the beef with seasoning and flavoring behind the counter. What do you expect them to do? Mix everything up, add preservatives and whatever it needs to taste and look the same, and put it in a bag to ship.

>>12518273
It's called sarcasm, but I shouldn't expect anything out of someone whose argument is you're a shill and thinks they can taste meat that isn't actually sold separate.

>>12518289
Imagine thinking it's normal to not be able to differentiate the different parts of a dish.

>>12514963
how are they taking a stand? they've been the most vegan-friendly fast food place for literally decades. long before any of these trendy capitalists

>>12518132

>>12518264
lol rekt'd

>>12516977
i'm not the one eating sawdust with taco seasoning and calling it "real meat", smart man

>>12518368
It's very difficult and expensive to have a cat in Japan so their cats are of higher quality.

>>12518345
where they vegan friendly on purpose or by accident because of their menu. I don't know I don't care about corporate politics. either way I don't see how that affects their decision to not jump on the social bandwagon whatever that may be.

>>12518379
Based.
I hope killing feral cats is legal there.

>>12518392
There's probably barely any.

>>12518114

>>12518368
>>12518379
I don't know why but this whole exchange gave me the giggles.

>>12518384
it's on purpose. they don't charge to sub beans for beef, they removed gelatin (a non-vegetarian ingredient) from their sour cream, they removed chicken stock from their rice, etc.

source: been veg for like 10+ and ate at taco bell daily in high school because no veg options at school for lunch

>>12518398
They have an entire city over saturated with cats that it's called cat Island

Why hasn't Taco Bell moved to the Walden Farms "food flavor suspended in a xanthan gum matrix" model so they can advertise zero calorie food?

>>12518819
I don't think any fast food joint would sink that low

>>12518278
Yes, because that's what you are supposed to do.

>>12519449
That's not fast food.

>>12518114
not yet

fuck I didn't have the auto refesh box checked

what is wrong with getting free food?

>>12518021

Why is Taco Bell so "based"?

Does this mean something, or are you stupid and meant "biased"?

>>12517555
boy, you're powerful stupid ain't ya?

>>12520591
Bro inthink youre biased.
