9:58 AM The meat scandal in Europe touches Yum Brands (YUM -0.5%) after the company is forced to disclose to the Food Standards Agency in the U.K. that it found supplier samples for Taco Bell which tested positive for horsemeat. The timing isn't great after the company already saw its financial results rocked by a chicken contamination issue in China. Execs say Yum Brands has discontinued buying from the supplier in question

None of this affects me. I may even get Taco Bell this weekend whilst inebriated.
it was tougher. Pig is preferable. Germans have horse sausages and stuff as well.

Sounds like something I'd try.
Are you serious? You ever seen a cow do a lat flare?
And the ants will keep eating this crap because they don't know any better.

can it really be any worse than what people thought the taco meat originally was? why worry about it? seriously, it's taco bell and it's garbage.
the 2011 lawsuit was:
(NaturalNews) The word spread like wildfire across the internet: An Alabama law firm had filed a class action lawsuit against Taco Bell in California, saying its meat fails to meet the definition of beef set forth by the U.S. government (and even that's a pretty low hurdle, if you ask me). The lawsuit claims Taco Bell's meat cannot be honestly advertised as "beef" because it claims tests showed the meat was only 35% beef, not the 70% beef required by federal standards.
"It's mainly soy and oats, and there's lots of other stuff in there that I don't even know how to pronounce," said attorney Dee Miles.
Taco Bell responded quickly, saying their meat was "88% beef" and that they buy the same brand of beef sold in supermarkets -- Tyson Foods.
Oh well, that clears it all up, then. Tyson Foods.
And what's the other 12%? According to Taco Bell, it's water, spices, oats, starch and "other ingredients" that the restaurant says contribute to the "quality" of its beef. Apparently, Taco Bell believes the way to enhance the quality of beef is to throw in things that are not beef.
• Autolyzed Yeast Extract (which contains MSG)
• Red #40, Blue #1, Yellow #6 artificial colors
• Corn syrup solids
• Partially Hydrogenated Corn Oil
• Soy Protein
• Propylene Glycol Alginate
• Dimethylpolysiloxane (an anti-foaming chemical)

So wait, when they put beef in a taco they're not supposed to add things like spices to it? That's not only acceptable it's expected. You guys are dumb.
12% weight in spices
