Taco Bell Goes Green with All Unnatural Ingredients

taco-bell-greenLoyal GP readers know that there are many ways to cut a burger out of your life, from being a part-time vegetarian to vegging out on Meatless Mondays at Israel’s gourmet restaurants.

The Onion reports one more: the American fast food chain Taco Bell is going green by replacing all its ingredients with those grown in laboratories.

A “spokesperson” for the company told the fake news program that “At Taco Bell we have a long tradition of taking as little as possible from the natural world. Our ground beef for example has always been environmentally friendly. It’s 85% gluten filler, 8% petroleum based grease flavoring, but it’s always had 4% meat, real livestock… But with Taco Bells new green initiative, we’ve actually been able to replace that 4% meat with a simple chemical adhesive.”

Daniella Cheslow grew up in a car-dependent suburb in New Jersey, where she noticed strip malls and Wal-Marts slowly replacing farmland. Her introduction to nature came through hiking trips in Israel. As a counselor for a freshman backpacking program at Northwestern University, Daniella noticed that Americans outdoors seemed to need to arm themselves with performance clothing, specialized water bottles and sophisticated camping silverware. This made her think about how to interact with and enjoy nature simply. This year, Daniella is getting a Master’s in Geography from Ben Gurion University of the Negev. She also freelance writes, photographs and podcasts. In her free time, she takes day trips in the desert, drops off compost and cooks local foods like stuffed zucchini, kubbeh and majadara. Daniella gets her peak oil anxiety from James Howard Kunstler and her organic food dreams from Michael Pollan. Read more at her blog, TheTruthHerzl.com.
