Shouldn't have had such a sloppy mud pie and then used too small of a slice now all of us are gonna explode out our pretty little lunches.

[u/longhairmoderatecare → u/terrierdad420]

I didn’t have a sloppy mud pie!

[u/Appropriate-Gur-6343]

It’s always lettuce.

[u/uhhhhhhhhh_okay → u/Appropriate-Gur-6343]

Burger King foot lettuce

[u/nicolauz → u/uhhhhhhhhh_okay]

More like harvesting in hot sun, shitting in the fields lettuce.

[u/EnvironmentalRock827 → u/Appropriate-Gur-6343]

Let us never forget.

[u/tani0521 → u/Appropriate-Gur-6343]

I order my tacos without lettuce normally

[u/Terry-Scary → u/Appropriate-Gur-6343]

Lost of places for poop water to fall and get stuck then get worse with time, and many parts are eaten if not washed

[u/InvisibleAstronomer → u/Appropriate-Gur-6343]

It's always taco bell

[u/FoodLionMVP → u/InvisibleAstronomer]

“It's always taco bell Taylor Farms” FTFY

[u/release-the-filez]

I’m one mini taco salad away from my goal weight

[u/Jorgwalther → u/release-the-filez]

Those mini taco salads are so damn good. I don’t care for the default chipotle sauce, so I usually change it to the jalapeños sauce.

[u/Separate-Expert-4508 → u/release-the-filez]

RFK Jr: “I did that!”

[u/Terry-Scary → u/Separate-Expert-4508]

I walked up to my aunt and yelled MAHA like Amanda Bynes, my maga aunt gets gleeful think I’m going her culture. I then say so did you see what new weight loss initiative Rfk has out all natural. It’s in the food..

I’ve been loving the collapse in health that I can hold magats faces in and be like no actually this is really you, this is a trump daddy thing. The magats have no reply

I’m also pretty sure I got this sickness, I’ve been shooting 2 inches above the water line for a week. Leaving it on the bowl as a household reminder make America healthier again means explosive shit

[u/TX0834 → u/release-the-filez]

I lost maybe 10 pounds in a week from food poisoning. It was dreadful.

[u/Terry-Scary → u/TX0834]

In how many days?

[u/TX0834 → u/Terry-Scary]

It was a while ago but it had to be at least 5 days. I couldn’t keep anything down. I could barely hold in water.

[u/Argyleskin]

Subway and McDonald’s also use Taylor Farms.

[u/LazloHollifeld → u/Argyleskin]

Taco Bell is out there getting the Spanish Flu treatment

[u/Separate-Expert-4508 → u/LazloHollifeld]

(Kansas Flu)

[u/A_Refill_of_Mr_Pibb → u/Argyleskin]

And Chipotle. Taylor Farms also has salad kits in supermarkets.

[u/Terry-Scary → u/Argyleskin]

All of the fast food also buys ther wheat and soy products from farmers who use cancer causing pesticides that are known to transfer to human body approved by the epa

[u/North_Atlantic_Sea → u/Argyleskin]

The impact depends on it's supply chain and where it sources from. Some providers will have dedicated chains for large customers, rather than mixing everything together then splitting apart at the end

[u/atempestdextre]

No shock that it was Taylor Farms AGAIN. It's like they're singlehandedly leading the charge for food poisoning.

[u/RIF_rr3dd1tt → u/atempestdextre]

I'm sure they'll pay the president for some disinformation PR and blame "Antifa"

[u/trekbette]

Is it bad that my first thought was the Taco Bell didn't send a big enough bribe so were thrown under the bus?

[u/Karl_42]

Taco Bell lettuce supplied by Taylor Farms linked to US Trumporrhea* outbreak

[u/EnvironmentalRock827 → u/Karl_42]

Where is the 300 million contract with Palantir to safeguard our farms?!?!?!

[u/weezyverse]

Should the news not be:

Taylor Farms linked to Cyclosporiasis outbreak.

Like wtf is wrong with the media anymore?

[u/Hemicrusher]

💩🌋

[u/PrismaticElf → u/Hemicrusher]

Good lord, it’s mud butt!

[u/NonProphet8theist → u/PrismaticElf]

Symptoms of RIBS include:

- Mudbutt

• Death

[u/SomebodysAtTheDoor]

Why are we singling out Taco Bell, when Taylor Farms literally distributes EVERYWHERE? I've heard affected folks talk about where they ate the offending lettuce: McDonald's, Texas Roadhouse, Culver's, a local Mediterranean restaurant, prepackaged grocery store salads. The list goes on.

[u/Cute-Interest3362]

Double diarrhea across the sky. oh my god!

[u/ZotMatrix]

Who needs Ozempic?

[u/Flaky-Strawberry9561]

Lol shocker. Surprised its not everything on the menu like the decades before of garunteed mud butt.

[u/ProdigyMamba]

how do they even trace this? incredible work

[u/Totakai → u/ProdigyMamba]

Lots of questions and then having all the answers compiled to see the overlap.

Ie. Person A says last week they had McDonald's, Denny's, and Wendy's.

Person B says they had Jack in the Box, Subway, and 7/11.

Person C says they had Dominos, Little Caesars, and Taco Bell.

But like more specific like which item. McDonald's had a burger with lettuce, Subway was a 6inch ham with lettuce, and Taco Bell was a chicken taco with lettuce.

Of all the data points, eventually the culprit becomes super obvious cause it'll pop up in every single case.

[u/Notleontrotsky]

I feel like there has gotta be a cap for “caused explosive diarrhea” because WHY IS TACO BELL STILL ON THE SCOREBOARD! It makes no sense! These are not rookie numbers!

[u/AdditionalQuietime]

Damn I just had two potato loaded grillers from there...

[u/Jd11347]

Drive by a lettuce farm in California during harvest time. You will see 2 things. All of the workers are immigrants, and there are no porto-potty's around. I'm surprised that this isn't an annual occurrence.
