Taco bell claims their "beef filling" is actually 88% meat, after a recent lawsuit claiming it was only 35% meat. I'd say it's probably somewhere in the middle.

My girlfriend bought some organic shampoo that says "98% natural" in big letters on the front. I looked at it and asked her if she still would have bought it had the bottle read "2% unnatural". Things that make you say hmmm.

[Heed]

^ a good point. idk if the labels on the front mean **** though. A lot of frozen foods now say "no preservatives" yet they're loaded with salt. guess what salt is.

taco bell: it is disgustingly unhealthy yet it tastes so goooood
