Snacks in Snacks.

Not too long ago it was confirmed by legitimate national news-makers what we had all long suspected: Taco Bell doesn't actually serve food fit for human consumption.

Something about their "meat" not containing the minimum requirement of actual meat to be officially considered "meat."  I won't bother you with the details.  Mostly because that would require a Google search or two.  What you need to know is that instead of serving meat, Taco Bell was serving meat-flavored sauce.  Or slosh.  Or slop.  Or something. 

Bottom line: none meat.

So, what did Taco Bell do next?  Well, they presumably added more meat to meet (homophones are fun) acceptable public health standards.  But after that, what did they do?

What they did sickens me more than any lack of actual meat quantities. 

They reverted to the first-grade cafeteria and unsupervised summer lunch-making staple.  They started putting potato chips where they don't belong. 

Taco Bell decided they'd up the quality of their food by adding copious amounts of snack-bag favorites to their already deplorable menu items. 

"The burrito is boring.  Let's throw some spicy hot Fritos in one of them and act like we've come up with something new.  It's cool because it's crunchy, even though you wouldn't expect a burrito to be crunchy."  Great.  That's exactly what I was thinking when I threw some pretzel sticks into my PB and J's.  Snacks in snacks.

After the Fritos, there was the inevitable inclusion of Doritos the other Spanish-sounding snack food.  But this time, Taco Bell got even more creative.  Instead of crushing some Doritos up and throwing them in a burrito or a taco, they had to do things a little differently, because, well, they already had the Fritos burrito. 

So this time, they decided to make their taco shells out of Doritos.  Yes.  That happened.  It's an over-sized orange nightmare specially manufactured to hold any and all meat-flavored slosh.

And we really wonder why America's fat?  Really?
