MONTGOMERY, Ala. -- An Alabama law firm claims in a lawsuit that Taco Bell is using false advertising when it refers to using "seasoned ground beef" or "seasoned beef" in its products.

The meat mixture sold by Taco Bell restaurants contains binders and extenders and does not meet the minimum requirements set by the U.S. Department of Agriculture to be labeled as "beef," according to the legal complaint.

The class-action lawsuit was filed Friday in federal court in the Central District of California by the Montgomery law firm Beasley, Allen, Crow, Methvin, Portis & Miles.

Attorney Dee Miles said attorneys had Taco Bell's "meat mixture" tested and found it contained less that 35 percent beef.

The lawsuit on behalf of Taco Bell customer and California resident Amanda Obney does not seek monetary damages, but asks the court to order Taco Bell to be honest in its advertising.

im watching this while eating taco bell by god i am going to finish it

[mchandler2112]

Silicone dioxide? You mean... sand?

[metathus]

Haha, it just goes to show how stupid americans are when they stopped eating taco bell after this. Its like, so before you knew you stuffed your fat fucking face with their yummy tacos, and never had any bad side effects. But now that you know, all of a sudden its bad for you since you know how its made? Did it change the taste? No! That would be like finding out why masturbation feels good and stopping it because you found out the reason. I am eating taco bell right now and loving it!

Silicon dioxide is (drumroll) the main component in gravel, stones and sand

[wrigglyjiggly]

@ TheYoungTurks why are ur subtitles all fucked?

[blargrath5649]

It's Silicon Dioxide which is an anti caking agent. Anti-dusting=Anti-caking, it's just a term. It doesn't mean they're putting Pledge in your tacos, or even sand. It's just a chemical to help the beef break down easier, and stay in the same "viscosity" that's easy to fit into a taco.

but yet I'm eating it now... -_-
