It was also in the Guinness book of records at some point.

He was also entered into the Guiness Book of Records for "strangest diet."

He ate the award plaque they gave him.

Dr: You can get your iron supplement in pill form at the local Walmart.
Guy: Oh? That's nice. Does it have any artificial sweeteners?
Dr: It's plain.

Still better than Taco Bell

[–] krashmo@lemmy.world 22 points 10 months ago (1 children)

idk what you internet people are always complaining about, Taco Bell is great. It's easily the best of the lowest tier fast food joints and that's a perfectly acceptable niche to occupy.

[–] over_clox@lemmy.world 4 points 10 months ago (5 children)

Tacos are fine, but Taco Bell has a reputation for quickly sending people to the restroom with diarrhea.

Also, Taco Bell themselves have admitted their "meat" is only around 35% actual meat.

Want a real taco, make it yourself...

[–] dharmacurious@slrpnk.net 16 points 10 months ago (2 children)

If taco bell is sending you to the bathroom it's because you're ordering beans and you're not used to beans and lots of fiber. That's not the fault of taco Bell.

Also, it's the easiest fast food option for vegetarians and vegans, and as such has (in theory at least) a much better environmental footprint than the others. Fast food ain't great, but Taco bell does not deserve the reputation it has. And while I am absolutely not assuming it's why you said it, I can't help but think the reason the whole taco bell equals poops thing is so prevalent is because of underlying racist sentiments, the same as with Chinese food and msg.

[–] over_clox@lemmy.world 4 points 10 months ago* (last edited 10 months ago) (1 children)

Yeah, you've obviously never been to our local Taco Bell. They literally threw opened used trash in our bag with our food.

I'll never return there after that.

[–] dharmacurious@slrpnk.net 3 points 10 months ago (1 children)

That's an example of a shitty location, though. Had McDonald's done that would people hold that view of all McDonald's?

[–] over_clox@lemmy.world 1 points 10 months ago

If Hardee's hired a dude that'll literally hock loogie bubbles while he's talking to you, would you trust Hardee's hiring requirements and practices?

True story, I had a rather nasty friend that worked a few different restaurants as a cook. I never went to any restaurant he worked at..

[–] TrickDacy@lemmy.world 3 points 10 months ago (1 children)

I was sort of with you until you claimed racism ...

That just made it weird

[–] dharmacurious@slrpnk.net 7 points 10 months ago (2 children)

Not racism in the "fuck those [insert slur here]s." Racism in the sense of subtle background stereotypes that are super pervasive. Think queer villains in media. Msg was associated with Chinese food and ended up with a bad (and false) rap because of it. Mexican and Mexican ish foods are associated with stomach upset and GI issues. Chipotles has a similar stigma. It's a cultural hang over from a time when outright discrimination and stereotyping was more acceptable. It's not necessarily something we're aware of doing when we do it, made even more insidious by virtue of people who do not hold negative views perpetuating the same stereotype because of our own lack of awareness to it.

[–] over_clox@lemmy.world 1 points 10 months ago

[insert slurs here]...

Read my other comments. My friend that would hock booger loogie bubbles in your face was the cook, at a number of our local restaurants.

Nasty isn't a slur, that's just declaring that anyone that hired him accepts nasty cooks.

Basically means there's at least 3 entire cities where I won't visit for fast food, because I know they'll just as soon hire a cook that talks with loogie bubbles in his mouth.

Nasty isn't a slur. That's just a callout...

[–] TrickDacy@lemmy.world 1 points 10 months ago

Yeah I just can't get on board with this

Chipotle had a bad rap for literally food poisoning a lot of people multiple times

And taco bell has a bad rap because it's low quality food. I think it's better today so maybe it seems unfairly targeted, but I definitely have had diarrhea many times from that food, especially back in the day.

[–] HubertManne@kbin.social 7 points 10 months ago

Yeah sorta cracks me up this thing along with the subway chicken thing given actually plant analogues often cost more than the meat. If a place can put plant matter and lower my meat consumption while the meal is tasty. Well im all for it.

Right, read the source I posted, and you will see the lawyers had to retract those claims quickly.

[–] over_clox@lemmy.world 1 points 10 months ago

Okay, maybe there's something to their side of things as well..

https://www.nbcnews.com/id/wbna41480774

Doesn't change the fact they threw literal garbage in our bag.

[–] krashmo@lemmy.world 4 points 10 months ago

While that last bit is not untrue it sort of ignores the fact that not making it yourself is the whole point of fast food.

Taco Bell is not amazing food but it is decent and relatively inexpensive. That is it's purpose. If you want authentic Mexican cuisine, or any type of food really, then a fast food joint is not the place to go looking for it.

[–] TonyTonyChopper@mander.xyz 2 points 10 months ago (1 children)

I'm vegetarian and Taco Bell is one of the only places that actually have a decent vegetarian menu

[–] Lesrid@lemm.ee 2 points 10 months ago

God right? You can't fake a black bean and their black beans are great.

[–] Audacious@sh.itjust.works 2 points 10 months ago

Can confirm from personal experience, taco bell gives me diarrhea but chipotle doesn't. Used to get weekly chipotle burritos because of the school discount.

He meant what he said. The plane is the hors d'oeuvre.

[–] Titou@sh.itjust.works 3 points 10 months ago (1 children)

You prefer eating over-transformed junk food and that's okay

[–] GeneralEmergency@lemmy.world 2 points 10 months ago (1 children)

You're on the fediverse. There's no need to try and seem cultured, you ain't get that boulder up the hill.
