Wow, welcome to reality. It's fast food. Does anyone really think McDonald's is serving up high quality beef? lol
I will say this about Taco Bell that many of you will not know. A couple months ago I read part of an interview (it was part of a larger media piece on fast food restaraunts and improving the quality/healthiness of their food), and the interviewer asked, I forget... "The Taco Bell Boss", ha, what they planned on implementing to improve. He said they had been experimenting with adding more spices, etc in lieu of sodium. I wish I could rememeber just how much sodium they were cutting out, but it was a damn impressive amount. When asked when they would start testing this new food on the public, he laughed and said something like over 6 months ago.
Personally, I believe that's the best way they could go about it. If they'd come out in th3e beginning and told everyone, how many calls, emails, etc do you think they would get bitching about the food? Whereas, this time, he said, if anything, business has been up.
Also, I've noticed their tortillas are different, as well and the burritos seem to be a bit smaller overall but not always. Up to the preparer when it really comes down to it, I guess.
PS - All the McDonalds can still disappear into a sinkhole leading straight to hell.
