In what sense is Taco Bell not food?

everyone actually thought taco bell was healthy food until reading your comment

That Taco Bell has crap ingredients, and fillers in the meat, has been known for so long now. The Onion's video parodying that news coverage is 17 years old now! [1] It boggles the mind to see Taco Bell expand to new markets internationally, or hold on in markets where better fast-food brands failed and left.

It's just funny to think of somebody sitting in a Taco Bell drive thru, about to pay money to ingest fake food that will make them less healthy, and the thing they're pissed off about is that the voice coming out of the speaker is a fake. The voice isn't poisoning you, man, the 'food' is! Maybe the fake voice just makes it harder to pretend you're not doing something completely unhealthy to yourself.
