I got really bored one night and did some research into how Taco Bell's taco meat is made. Went through each ingredient to figure out what each thing is doing / why it's in there. This isn't for any kind of scare post or anything like that; I love eating Taco Bell. Just was curious what goes into their stuff and thought it was interesting so I'm sharing it here.
