I've had maybe a dozen Taco Bells in my life, and had no digestive issues. What is wrong with people?

What is wrong with people?

The states are dealing with a cyclospora parasite outbreak.

Taco bell is actually being responsible pulling items prematurely, because there is still no information where it originated or how it's spreading.

Edit- worth mentioning the CDC used to proactively track this parasite, but toddler in chief dropped that program last year.

In addition to cyclospora, surveillance of campylobacter, listeria, shigella, vibrio and Yersinia was cut. FoodNet now only regularly monitors two diseases: Salmonella and Shiga toxin-producing E. coli.

A list of CDC talking points seen by NBC News last summer clearly blamed funding for the program’s drastic cutback.

“Funding has not kept pace with the resources required to maintain the continuation of FoodNet surveillance for all eight pathogens,” the talking point read.

Fiber. The average American eats 500g of protein a day and maybe accidentally 1 gram of fiber.

Then they go to Taco Bell where every menu item has beans (a staple source of fiber) -> poopacolypse

No one is getting 500g of protein a day except for people using supplements and even then that is a fucking ton.

You’re right about the fiber though; it’s honestly pathetic.

I figured this out a while back after always wondering what people were talking about and it makes so much sense. Dudes living on Doritos and code red talking bout the Taco Bell shits like bruh eat a salad

Not a scientist but this sounds so right. As a regular consumer of fiber, I find taco bell to be one of the more digestible fast food chains. Fiber actually holds water into your stools after going through the stomach, but if your body isn't used to getting any then you are probably gonna be in for some kind of event.

I've had TB hundreds and hundreds of times, it's one of the only fast food I could eat every day for the rest of my life and never get sick of it

We just have superior digestive bloodlines!

I read TB as tuberculosis at first and was very concerned
