Is Taco Bell the perfect candidate to start using cultivated meat?

They don’t exactly need high quality meat, so it could be a good pilot program if scientists learn how to produce cultivated meat on a large scale at a cheap cost.

I wouldn’t mind trying it. Supposedly it’s biologically the same thing as regular meat. I think it could go well in chalupas, tacos, burritos, quesadillas, crunch wraps, etc.

You would know since you’ve tasted both, right?

I thought they already were? You can’t convince me that’s real meat.

They might as well use it since it can’t get any worse, right?

I mean people are trying to produce it on a large scale at a low cost, but it just isn’t feasible right now.

If we’re just talking calories. Taco Bell might actually be one of the healthier fast food options out there.

Two Taco Bell threads on the front page for far different reasons.

I don’t know about cultivated meats but, in the mid 80’s my buddy managed the Taco Bell on Loyola in Kennah Brah and they used meat that was labeled “ genuine grade D beef, but edible”.

I asked him about it and he said something about a bonus for keeping food costs below 22%.

There must be a huge profit in owning Taco Bell’s. One of the largest franchisees in the South is headquartered in Morgan City of all places. They own restaurants from Texas to Florida. They even have a corporate jet that flies out of Houma.

Brenda and Greg Hamer are a true success story to grow such an empire and are known to support college athletics through sponsorships as Taco Bell. Greg even sits or sat on the TAF board.

The original Chilitos got me through Nuke Power School back in the early 90s.
