I love spicy food, and I used to sneak out to Taco bell during errands (not that they're actually spicy). After about 5 times of eating there, I started having digestive issues, which went away once I stopped eating there. I still like their burritos, but will only go there once in a long while. Those taco bell shit memes have a kernel of truth in them, yo.
In Canada, our meat standards are different than in the US. This makes Taco Bell much more expensive to the point where it isn't really a cheap option like it is in the States.
On the other hand, the "post-Taco Bell squits" isn't really a phenomenon here, at least in my experience and that of anyone I've talked about it with.
...it isn't exactly a common topic of conversation, to be fair...
Well, I'm a vegetarian, so even without the meats, I still got my digestive system messed up. Could be the other ingredients, or it could also be all the sauce packets I guzzled.
Taco Bell is not the place I'd think to go for a vegetarian meal! I'm guessing it was the bean and cheese burritos? Or do they have more veggie options these days?
Their crispy potato taco is the only thing I still go there for. And that’s suuuuuuuuper rare, like once every year or two.
I’m not vegetarian or anything, it’s just the only thing worth getting imho. It’s been on their budget menu since forever.
I like their black bean crunch wrap supreme with potatoes and jalapeno ranch
it could be because it has so much fiber in it that your body isnt used to it
That's not it. I'm vegetarian, and my diet contains a lot of vegetables with fiber.
cheese maybe then. cause if its not fiber (thats what the cause is for most people) idk what else it could be
To be clear, when I said digestive issues, I didn't mean diarrhea. I meant the opposite. It was sort of a constipation.
Nobody expected the Spanish Constipation
maybe its all the carbs then. but idk if more carbs makes it more likely to have constipation
I said I'm a vegetarian, not a healthy eater. I probably eat 10 times more carbs daily and might fall dead any time.
I'd likely guess it would be the sudden spike of ingesting of lard (in refried beans), oils, salt, and spices.
idk how i forgot about the salt content. many tbell items have sodium warning
This tracks. I once heard from a former employee that the meat they use is literally the same USDA grade used in dog food. Technically edible, but not exactly a high mark for quality.

You wanna know what? If they've got a problem with meat standards then they've got a problem with me, so I suggest they let that one marinate!
Taco Bell doesn't seem cheap anymore in America. I am paying around $20-30 for a meal for 2 people similar to Arby's and other fast food chains.
