    Was it Taco Bell people were complaining that the meat filling isn’t ground all ground beef? I was like sweet I’d rather it be seasoned veggie delight anyway. Meat quality is not the draw of Taco Bell.

      Yea. Taco Bell Seasoned meat has been a seasoned freeze-dried tofu and beef blend for decades now.

          All I know is they probably add a lot of textured vegetable protein to the mix to save money, since it comes in bags and isn’t made in-store.

          I don’t trust their labels all too much because it’s all too even to be natural.

      Probably them too but my memory is that Jack in the box tacos were soy, not sure if that’s true, but it sounded right for the two tacos / $1 back in the day.
