The crazy thing is, Taco Bell hasn’t had a single confirmed case of Cyclospora tied back to their food. But they’re leading the charge in working to prevent it. Probably a PR initiative that went overboard; now everyone is associating the diarrhea virus with Taco Bell.
I always thought the taco bell meme was because the menu included foods that affect poops (ex. beans, spice, etc), not that they were unhygienic. Or any more unhygienic than some other fast food place
I always thought it was people who eat fast food and their gut normally has the same amount of fiber as your typical cement mix being exposed to black beans and lettuce. Kind of like putting mentos in diet coke.
That is 100% what it is, but a lot of people are idiots that have no idea how different types of food affect their body, apart from the end result. They don’t understand how anything works, just that they have issues after X, so X itself must be the issue.
There’s also a bunch of people that just blindly repeat things, either because they believe stuff at face value or because they think it will get views. Taco Bell gives you diarrhea, hehehe, type shit.
it’s utterly fucking depressing how little fibre the average person gets, it’s IMO the single largest improvement you can make to your diet.
It makes the whole supplement thing agonizing as well, because they COULD be selling psyllium husk pills and actually improve people’s health, but NOPE.

I guess people don’t see that distinction?

Maybe it was a bad time to announce the Diareeto Loco burrito.
