    I’m not gonna lie, I straight up love taco bell. I avoided it for years and years because of the stereotype about it making you sick or being cheap and gross. Then I was out a few years ago and had 2 dollars in change and an empty belly. That shit was good and no stomach upset. It’s now my go to fast food, especially considering it’s easy as hell to get veggie options.

    Also, gas/bloat is not specific to taco bell, it’s fucking beans. Eat anything with beans and you’re gonna get gassy. Not directed specifically at you, just anyone who needs to hear this.

      taco bell has two things going against it,

      the stigma that it uses low grade beef, since then taco bell has completely flipped it and uses beef at a grade higher than other fast food restaurants, its just that not everyone knows about it.

      the other is people’s shit diets. people only get gassy/get the shits at taco bell because taco bell food as you mentioned, has beans, which has fiber. fiber is good for digetive systems and can turn into diarrhea if it wasnt part of the diet before hand. admitting that youre getting the shits at taco bell is essentially an admission that you have a shit diet (not enough dark greens or beans)

      i say this as a person who likes taco bell.
