Taco Bell had beef with Beyond Meat’s fake carne asada 20 Apparently it wasn’t well done

Taco Bell, the restaurant known for having ground beef that's utterly indescribable, reportedly told Beyond Meat that its version of carne asada wasn’t good enough to serve. According to Bloomberg, the chain canceled a test product that featured Beyond’s plant-based steak after samples failed to live up to its standards.

Beyond Meat denies the report — Shira Zackai, head of communications at the company told The Verge in an email that “the test between Beyond Meat and Taco Bell was not canceled. Our partnership is strong, and we are actively working together to create a plant-based protein that’s completely new to the national QSR (quick serve restaurant) space. We look forward to sharing more details on what Beyond Meat and Taco Bell have planned in the coming months.”

The report doesn’t make it clear what the company wasn’t fond of — was it the texture? The taste? Was it just too high-end for Taco Bell, seeming more like something you’d find at a Chipotle rather than the restaurant known as the place you drunkenly get 2 AM takeout and NFTs? Whatever the case, people on Twitter have been having an absolute field day with the news.

I can deal with the shame.

About 20 years ago, a Taco Bell Burrito Supreme with green sauce was what finally restored my wife’s intestinal processes following surgery.

When I was a stoner in college (late 80’s early 90’s) Taco bell was the ultimate in late night munchies.

Plant based “BURGERS”, now plant based “CARNE” Asada. What is next? Plant based “BEEF STEAKS”?

Anyone see the psyops pattern here? Just as they deceptively define our Republic as a “Democracy” they are trying to cancel and replace Beef as both a concept and a product.

You can bet this a planned psyops agenda pushed by the VEGANS, PETA, and TREE HUGGERS.

Amazing! Be curious to know what her gastroenterologist had to say about that.

Agreed

If these radical extremists would abuse their very own precious “carnivore” pets by forcing them to be Vegan, they would not hesitate one bit at forcing us all to be Vegan through availability and commercial political correctness trends.

I once tried to pit PETA against the Vegans for this very real crime of animal abuse... lol

There is a Youtube out that shows an animal rescue crew trying to lure a starving dog off the freeway with an Impossible Burger.

Dog turned up his nose...

I used to love Taco Bell. I was in my early 30’s and had 2 kids. I could “take the family out to dinner” for under $10. Then one day I got food poisoning from Taco Bell. I have not been back in almost 30 years.

Lol, Dog is smarter than most humans. :)

I’m going to start a company selling cubic zirconium and call it “Beyond Diamond”.
