Aristo! Aristo! A la lanterne!: Taco bell..... now with even less meat in their meat.

Taco bell..... now with even less meat in their meat.

Taco Bell is going to (publicly this time) try marketing more meatless meat in their (mostly meatless anyway) products.

Meh. Let people eat what they want. If they want fake meats, all the better to bring on the heartless Sci-Fi dystopian world they crave. Soylant all the way, baby!

Now, a couple of points I'll mention.

Taco Bell is not exactly the kind of place one goes if craving meat in their food, or for that matter food in their food. It's the epitome of manufactured shlop created from industrial byproducts and factory food-like substances. Frankly, leaving the meat out altogether will probably INCREASE the edibility factor in their food-like products.

On another note, Taco Bell has already spent some rough time in the proverbial media John trying to explain the amount of 'meat' in what they sell as meat. Perhaps selling totally meatless stuff shaped like meat will be right in their wheelhouse?

On the third hand, a little more personal, I don't choose to be a Taco Bell customer. While I deal with my share of alcohol-fueled depression and self-loathing, it's never led me far enough downhill to regard Taco Bell as a meal option.

"Do not confuse "duty" with what other people expect of you; they are utterly different. Duty is a debt you owe to yourself to fulfill obligations you have assumed voluntarily. Paying that debt can entail anything from years of patient work to instant willingness to die. Difficult it may be, but the reward is self-respect.

But there is no reward at all for doing what other people expect of you, and to do so is not merely difficult, but impossible. It is easier to deal with a footpad than it is with the leech who wants "just a few minutes of your time, please — this won't take long." Time is your total capital, and the minutes of your life are painfully few. If you allow yourself to fall into the vice of agreeing to such requests, they quickly snowball to the point where these parasites will use up 100 percent of your time — and squawk for more!
So learn to say No — and to be rude about it when necessary.
Otherwise you will not have time to carry out your duty, or to do your own work, and certainly no time for love and happiness. The termites will nibble away your life and leave none of it for you.

(This rule does not mean that you must not do a favor for a friend, or even a stranger. But let the choice be yours. Don't do it because it is "expected" of you.)"
