    I don’t think that the stereotype that Taco Bell gives you diarrhea is related to the fact that it’s high in fibre (which should not give you diarrhea), or racism.

      Trying my best not to imitate the “wellll acktualllyyy” meme - I agree with your comment lol - but just to spread a little knowledge, if your body is not used to fiber and you intake a large amount, diarrhea is often the body’s way of coping.

      It’s actually not. American colons are so used to low fiber diets anything with a slight amount of fiber gives them the shits.

      Taco Bell is moslty meat cheese and corn -none of that is actually high fiber.

      McDonalds “food” actually has no fiber.
