If the market can regulate itself, how come Taco Bell "beef" is mostly sand?

Are you under the impression that Taco Bell patrons thought they were eating health food? They knew it was junk, and guess what? They're still going to eat there because they like it. No one thought they were getting pure beef for 89cents. The market works!

they never said it was healthy.

Because people will eat that garbage up because it is cheap. Ever notice that you have to bathe that trash in taco sauce to coax it down?

Whatever happened to "innocent until proven guilty"??

Government regulation happened. The USDA defines what can be called "beef" and "meat" and that sets industry standards.

How would the TWENTY MILLION CRIMINAL ILLEGAL INVADERS HERE IN AMERICA EAT?

Don't like it? Rat them out to the FDA.

Spoken like a TRUE libbie.

That's the pot-head special that they serve after midnight!

Relax, free enterprise will sort it out. They will pay a price for their stupidity.

The market will regulate itself. If enough people decide that Taco Bell is deceiving them, and stop eating there, the company will suffer. Of course this is almost nothing compared to what Jack in the Box went through in the past.
