I've had maybe a dozen Taco Bells in my life, and had no digestive issues. What is wrong with people?

What is wrong with people?

The states are dealing with a cyclospora parasite outbreak.

Taco bell is actually being responsible pulling items prematurely, because there is still no information where it originated or how it's spreading.

Edit- worth mentioning the CDC used to proactively track this parasite, but toddler in chief dropped that program last year.

Fiber. The average American eats 500g of protein a day and maybe accidentally 1 gram of fiber.

Then they go to Taco Bell where every menu item has beans (a staple source of fiber) -> poopacolypse

Not a scientist but this sounds so right. As a regular consumer of fiber, I find taco bell to be one of the more digestible fast food chains. Fiber actually holds water into your stools after going through the stomach, but if your body isn't used to getting any then you are probably gonna be in for some kind of event.

I figured this out a while back after always wondering what people were talking about and it makes so much sense. Dudes living on Doritos and code red talking bout the Taco Bell shits like bruh eat a salad

I've had TB hundreds and hundreds of times, it's one of the only fast food I could eat every day for the rest of my life and never get sick of it

We just have superior digestive bloodlines!

Demolition man ass comment.

But also I concur.

I don’t get the appeal of Taco Bell. I tried it for the first time about ten years ago and it was dreadful. If it’s not healthy then it should be some kind of guilty pleasure, but the whole meal just tasted cheap and nasty.

Like a lot of chain restaurants, the quality varies pretty wildly by location. There was a (thankfully brief) time in my life where Taco Bell was very nearly the cheapest source of food available, and a large percentage of my food intake came from their value menu. Not good for the ol' cholesterol, but I was young and needed calories, and I found a location that was consistently decent, so I would go there, spend two dollars, and get enough food to last me the rest of the day, and it was inoffensive enough that I could eat it every day and not get sick of it. Bringing my own hot sauce helped.
