If taco bell is sending you to the bathroom it’s because you’re ordering beans and you’re not used to beans and lots of fiber. That’s not the fault of taco Bell.
Also, it’s the easiest fast food option for vegetarians and vegans, and as such has (in theory at least) a much better environmental footprint than the others. Fast food ain’t great, but Taco bell does not deserve the reputation it has. And while I am absolutely not assuming it’s why you said it, I can’t help but think the reason the whole taco bell equals poops thing is so prevalent is because of underlying racist sentiments, the same as with Chinese food and msg.
Not racism in the “fuck those [insert slur here]s.” Racism in the sense of subtle background stereotypes that are super pervasive. Think queer villains in media. Msg was associated with Chinese food and ended up with a bad (and false) rap because of it. Mexican and Mexican ish foods are associated with stomach upset and GI issues. Chipotles has a similar stigma. It’s a cultural hang over from a time when outright discrimination and stereotyping was more acceptable. It’s not necessarily something we’re aware of doing when we do it, made even more insidious by virtue of people who do not hold negative views perpetuating the same stereotype because of our own lack of awareness to it.
Read my other comments. My friend that would hock booger loogie bubbles in your face was the cook, at a number of our local restaurants.
Nasty isn’t a slur, that’s just declaring that anyone that hired him accepts nasty cooks.
Basically means there’s at least 3 entire cities where I won’t visit for fast food, because I know they’ll just as soon hire a cook that talks with loogie bubbles in his mouth.
Chipotle had a bad rap for literally food poisoning a lot of people multiple times
And taco bell has a bad rap because it’s low quality food. I think it’s better today so maybe it seems unfairly targeted, but I definitely have had diarrhea many times from that food, especially back in the day.

Yeah, you’ve obviously never been to our local Taco Bell. They literally threw opened used trash in our bag with our food.
I’ll never return there after that.
That’s an example of a shitty location, though. Had McDonald’s done that would people hold that view of all McDonald’s?
If Hardee’s hired a dude that’ll literally hock loogie bubbles while he’s talking to you, would you trust Hardee’s hiring requirements and practices?
True story, I had a rather nasty friend that worked a few different restaurants as a cook. I never went to any restaurant he worked at…
I was sort of with you until you claimed racism …
That just made it weird

Nasty isn’t a slur. That’s just a callout…
Yeah I just can’t get on board with this
