It should be noted that Taco Bell (and other fast food places) uses a grade of meat that is not accepted by prisons in the United States and is used in various dog foods. If you can get over that the food tastes awesome. But it's not real food, it's a collection of flavor additives and dye mixed with organic compounds that looks and tastes like food. The only 'actual food' you'll ever find in a Taco Bell is the lettuce, tomatoes and onions. But even they are cross-bred cheaply manufactured mutations that are not suitable for sell in grocery stores.
If you're interested, take some samples of Taco Bell food or any fast food to a local lab (you can find them in the phone book) and they might charge you 25/50 bucks but they'll analyze the food for you and tell you what's in it. You'll never eat at Taco Bell again. the same can be said for any fast food place. However In and Out wins time and again for having real food that is feshly prepared. To quote 'Super Size Me'~ "In and Out is the only fast food restaurant you'll find actual potatoes in."
There's a reason a McDonald's french fries never rot, change color or oder or lose any taste even after weeks, months, even years. They cant collect mold either and most insects will not eat them. Even the ketchup you get at McDonald's is actually a pure sugar concentrate syrup with 'ketchup flavor' added. There isn't a single bit of any tomatoes in the ketchup. Though some McDonald's have 'Heinz' ketchup packets, so grab those when you can.
The Hamburgers are actually a press of liqued animal proteins and fat that is collected by thousands of cows at a time that are churned in a vat and boiled, some studies even found McDonald's hamburger meat to contain 'meat of unknown origins' that is closely related to the proteins found in earthworms. The process involves using cows that are sick, old, physically or mentally retarded or suffering from a genetic disorder that are killed at a massive ratio and put in to a boiler. The bodies recieve a quick rinse, otherwise hair, teeth and all go to the next step to the vat. They add cow after cow until it's full (literaly containing thousands of cows or cow 'pieces') and boiled down in to a liqued. As you can guess, this liqued looks nothing like meat. They add hundreds of chemicals to the mixture some of them causing the liqued to stiffen up sorta like jello. In the mixture of chemicals, there are reactive substances: instead of spending money on 'flavorizing' they use the chemical reaction to generate the 'McDonald's taste' They finally add the dies to give the substance the color of meat.
They then put the jelly-like substance in to a mold. These molds are made to look like hamburger patties, they have bumps and ridges to give the illusion of what we know to be hamburger meat cubes of fat are added to the molds to give a more convincing look. It is then flash forzen and sent to the franchises world wide. It should be known, when you order a hamburger from McDonald's, the hamburger you are eating was made around one year ago and kept in a freezer at the plant, during it's drive and then at the actual store you ordered it from. Typically, from the moment a McDonald's recieves a shipment of meat to the point where you eat one, is around 2-4 months. We all know that freezing can preserve food longer, however a McDonald's 'hamburger' can stay frozen until the end of time and never go bad this is because, simply put, a McDonald's hamburger is not actual food, but a combination of chemicals to resemble food.
ALL fast food reatraunts adopt this way of business, it is the only to be productive in a world wide food franchise market.
But the king of disgusting food is taco bell. next time you get anything from taco bell using the 'beef' name, look at the meat in the taco or burrito. Ask yourself what those tiny balls are... it's certainly not from a cow.
