I live in Europe and don’t eat unhealthily (I’m surrounded by organic farms and cook at home daily).
I’ve had Taco Bell when I visited the USA and I was absolutely fine. So was my Indian colleague I was with that trip.
My guess is it’s actually fast food diets that means Taco Bell doesn’t sit well with people. Low fibre diet of fast food and then you eat legumes plus spices? Recipe for disaster if your gut isn’t used to breaking down fibre or dealing with capsaicin.
Username checks out.
Spices?!
At Taco Bell?!
And it's really not legumes either, it's their sawdust "meat product".
Like, the logic youre using falls apart the second you realize fast food French fries causes even more diarrhea....
You're operating under the assumption the people complaining about TB also habitually eat fast food burgers?
That doesn't make any sense, the people eating fast food all the time is used to it.
You are weirdly argumentative about peoples personal experiences. Last guy isnt even an american (nor am i) but you take their personal anecdote as some sort of challenge.
This guy's kinda famous for that. Just tag him as "unnecessarily agro" and move on.
Yes, spices at Taco Bell. The spices that flavor the food.
SALT is the only flavor.
I feel like I'm in bizzaro world with people telling me Taco Bell is filled with fiber, veggies, and spices...
It's super salty cheap food that comes with low quality hot sauce packets.
I'm honestly worried so many people are acting like it's a healthy alternative and that's why people "can't handle it". Kids got baja blast running they their veins or something
