Someone has got a beef with Taco Bell. A woman recently filed a lawsuit claiming that the fast food chain's beef taco contain so little meat that it can't be legally called "beef."
Attorney Dee Miles said attorneys had Taco Bell's "meat mixture" tested and found it contained less that 35 percent beef.
The lawsuit on behalf of Taco Bell customer and California resident Amanda Obney does not seek monetary damages, but asks the court to order Taco Bell to be honest in its advertising.
"We are asking that they stop saying that they are selling beef," Miles said. [...]
The lawsuit says that Taco Bell's "seasoned beef" contains other ingredients, including water, wheat oats, soy lecithin, maltodrextrin, anti-dusting agent and modified corn starch.

As a poor college student, their 3 "tacos" for 99 cents promotions just couldn't be beat.
