    Ok hi! It's not at all like the shitty food that is traditionally at TB.

    I always wanted to try...I always thought what does TB know about healthy food

    I'll give it a whirl next time I got the munchies

    Interesting that they have this. I haven't been to TB since I was in 8th grade so I hadn't heard about this. I don't know that there are any options for veggies--not sure how they cook their beans. But that's cool they are having these healthier options. :)

    I haven't been to TB in ages!!!

    I'm pretty sure it's the same stuff minus sour cream, cheese, and whatever sauce they put on stuff.

    I suppose if you were to load em' up with fire sauce they might be decent.

    I haven't tried those yet. That would be the last place I would think of for eating healthy but those things look good.

    Now maybe I will go to taco bell.

    Taco Bell is one of the few fast food places that has some decent substantial food for vegans, so yes I eat there - I agree on loading up with the fire sauce.

    I guess it depends on your definition of healthy. Sure it is healthier then the rest of their menu, but did any of you check the nutritional information? For example, most of these are absolutely loaded with sodium.

    Oh yeah, that is for sure. I don't remember the last time I ate there or any fastfood chains for that matter.

    No negativity here, sorry if I came across that way. Just saying that the "healthy" label is used on a lot of things, and people will generally fall for it.

    But hey if they are just as tasty, they are definitely healthier then the normal menu :)

    Unfortunately there isn't a Taco Bell around here so have one for me!

    Agreed that there is a high sodium content, but as someone who has recently started Weight Watchers the calories, fat, and dietary fiber make them a desireable fast food.

    taco bell might give you butt water...
    but their hot sauce is so good you can drink it.
    out of the packet.
    spicy convenience.
