So. . . a lawsuit has been filed against Taco Bell claiming they don’t use “real beef.”

OMG.

An AP story has this to say about it:

The meat mixture sold by Taco Bell restaurants contains binders and extenders and does not meet the minimum requirements set by the U.S. Department of Agriculture to be labeled as “beef,” according to the legal complaint.

I’m sorry. Gross.
