[QUOTE="Umbran, post: 6254754, member: 177"] It isn't just the beef, though. It is the beef, and all the other ingredients, and the preparation.... We did, in fact, do similar comparisons for other chains - at the time, per pound, Taco Bell was notably cheaper than, say, Wendy's. Not like Burger King isn't buying it's meat in bulk too. So, how is it that Taco Bell can come in so much cheaper? Maybe they have some really amazing ways to cut costs in the production process, or, maybe, they're buying really amazingly cheap ingredients? Either way, I start to wonder if corners are cut. Sorry if you feel that's too suspicious of me. I can get a gallon of bottled water at my local Stop and Shop for $0.95. If I go name brand "Poland Springs", a gallon is $1.25! Where you finding gas for that price? Plus, nobody is trying to sell gasoline as *food*. Ah, now we get to the meat of it. It has nothing to do with your palate. There's questions of food quality that go beyond what you can taste. Taco Bell has had to go out of it's way to produce marketing materials to assuage concerns about their quality - you can find some of them on their website. Some concerns are, of course, complete rubbish, but others may not be. You're perfectly welcome to your opinion of their products. I don't think you should take my disagreement with your opinion as a comment against you, personally. [/QUOTE]
