Alabama law firm sues Taco Bell over meat

MONTGOMERY, AL (WSFA) – What’s in a name? That’s the question at the heart of a class action lawsuit Montgomery, Alabama law firm Beasley Allen filed targeting fast food giant Taco Bell. The lawsuit claims the company uses “false advertising” on its menu and in its advertisements.

“The complaint alleges that what Taco Bell calls “beef” doesn’t meet the minimum requirements set by the USDA to be called “beef” or “seasoned ground beef” or anything of the kind.

“Rather than beef, these food items are actually made with a substance known as “taco meat filling,” according to the lawsuit.

The lawsuit states that Taco Bell should refer to its product as “taco meat filling” because it contains mostly “extenders” and other non-meat substances.

What are these substances? The document lists water, “Isolated Oat Product,” wheat oats, soy lecithin, maltodrextrin, anti-dusting agent, autolyzed yeast extract, modified corn starch and sodium phosphate as well as beef and seasonings.

He Does A Good Marty McFly

Actor and filmmaker A.J. LoCascio does a near flawless impression of Marty McFly, the almost squeaky, panicked voice of Michael J. Fox.

With no agent or voice-over experience, LoCascio said even he’s not 100 percent sure how he got the part.

“I literally just heard there was a game coming, so I called up the company, left a message on the president’s answer machine (as Marty) and I didn’t hear anything back,” LoCascio said. “So then I called the vice president and I thought, All right, I’ll let it sit. Two weeks later, I got an email asking if I could send an mp3 of me doing Marty McFly.”

Then he got the call he had been preparing for since, well, 1985 to be exact.
