Taco Bell's meat is so bad in fact that it doesn't even meet the USDA's definition of meat. What should be in meat? One ingredient. Meat.

Alabama law firm Beasley Allen has filed a class action lawsuit against Taco Bell that claims the chain is falsely calling its taco filling "seasoned beef" and "seasoned ground beef" when allegedly the mixture, which would be more properly called "Taco Meat Filling," only contains 36% beef. The firm is not asking for money, but is instead asking the chain to make changes to their menu to reflect the food they are serving.
What in the hell else is in there? >>>
What in the hell else is in there? Taco Bell's meat filling is people! No, it's mostly water and "extenders" like "wheat oats, soy lecithin, maltodrextrin, anti-dusting agent, autolyzed yeast extract, modified corn starch and sodium phosphate." Also, something called "Isolated Oat Product." Mmm, oat product.
The USDA defines beef as "flesh of cattle," which is a little biblical but seems straightforward enough. They define "Taco Meat Filling" as 40% meat, so if the lawsuit is correct, it seems like Taco Bell would have to up their beef levels to even qualify for that. The self-described "Mexican inspired" chain denies that their advertising is misleading and "[intends] to vigorously defend the suit."
Beasley Allen has sued several high profile companies in the past, including suits against Toyota after their massive recall, BP after the oil spill, and a side-effect related suit against Yaz birth control.

Taco Bell intends to completely fight the suit, although no monetary damages are being requested, just to know what is in their "not quite" meat.
What is the big deal here? Why do they intend to fight so hard to stop people knowing what the fuck is in that shit they call meat? What is the problem with just telling us what is in it?
Up is Down, Left is Right, Green is actually Polymethyl Dextrohrydrochloride, Criminals Lead the country, and Honesty means tattling on your neighbor to the local ganstas for infringing on their illegal business.
So, why dont they just tell us what is in the meat? Its not as if everyone is going to stop eating their garbage, they just want to know what is in it. What is the big deal about telling people what kind of poisons they put in their meat? Can someone answer this question for me?
