I disagree. There was definitely a cutoff point. Somewhere around 2008, where Taco Bell’s meat became vastly worse.
Those were in my poverty days, so I ate Taco Bell quite a bit and it was like one day everything was what I expected and the next day everything was gritty and greasy and unsatisfying.
Yeah used to be able to drop 5$ there and get FULL. Not anymore. Last time I went I grabbed food for 3 people and it was like 30$ and for my part of it I was trying to be cheap as possible.
Its more expensive, tastes worse, is prepared worse, and uses worse ingredients. The fuck is happening?

I’m cooking more at home! That’s what’s happening.
Same! Cooking at home tastes better, healthier and usually much cheaper. The only catch is it takes time…
But I was in a hurry and didn’t pack a lunch, that’s why I was shocked at how high the prices were at Taco Bell.
Taco Bell has always been slop You just had the iron stomach of youth . 25 years ago that shit Inedible to me I would eat it and Just feel like shit.
But I will concede this that restaurants as a whole have gotten shittier in the last five years. It’s not just Taco Bell

Everyone goes through that with all fast food.
It was slop, but it was cheap slop.

Quarter after quarter of expected growth in an industry that only works with cheap prices.
