Dairy cows are distinct breeds from beef cows, and generally their meat is very poor in quality and quantity compared to beef cows. Only a small portion of all beef production comes from them, and an unusually large portion of it becomes ground or otherwise processed beef due to the poor quality. However, it’s essentially a waste product of the dairy industry, so assuming we’re not shutting the dairy industry down, it’s generally a good thing that someone is able to put a portion of it to good use. Not that I’m endorsing Taco Bell or anything, but at least it’s a less shitty method of operation than some others in the industry.
I come from a dairy farming family. We currently still have four small operations. While I would agree that beef cattle are ideal for steaks and other luxury cuts, most people wouldn’t be able to tell the difference between dairy versus beef breeds in your average ground beef or sausage preparation.
We eat most of the cattle from our farms ourselves, so I have had plenty of experience consuming dairy cattle meat. The flavor of the beef from our cows is better than what I can typically find at my local grocery store, because our animals hang out in the pasture all day eating grass. The muscular structure is far smaller and there’s less marbling, but the beefy flavor itself is great.
The president of YUM foods is (was?) a Trump supporter. I’ve boycotted Taco Bell since like 2017 or 18 when I learned of this. Also fuck Pizza Hut and KFC too
Almost every major corporate American CEO has shown super for Trump and the fascists more broadly at some point, trying to boycott every company run by them is both too expensive and unreasonably difficult for me and most people, so that doesn’t mean much to me. Boycotting means very little in this case compared to using the government to force changes across all industry everywhere. My main issue with Taco Bell and other YUM brands is their extraordinary-even-for-their-industry exploitation of workers, but again, that’s nearly universal across fast food (though I do mostly boycott that industry entirely).
Between that and the way they use dairy cow beef that would otherwise go to waste I just keep hearing good things about this place
until the parasites at least
