Taco Bell pulled an ad that mocked vegetables

Taco Bell has dropped the gloves for their latest ad, going all in to make fun of vegetables. Considering they've probably added to the country's obesity problem by leaps and bounds, it seems rather counter-productive to be making fun of healthy food.

But then again, Taco Bell does continue to come up menu items that cause instant heart attacks.

The attack on vegetables, however, has drawn some criticism and the fast food chain has pulled their ad. 

NEW YORK -- Taco Bell is pulling a TV ad after receiving complaints that it discouraged people from eating vegetables.

The ad by the fast-food chain was touting its variety 12-pack of tacos, with a voiceover saying that bringing a vegetable tray to a party is "like punting on fourth and one." It said that people secretly hate guests who bring vegetables to parties.

The Center for Science in the Public Interest, a health advocacy group, this weekend urged people to tweet their complaints about the ad and the chain quickly made the decision to pull it.

But just wait until next week when they release the World's Largest Burrito or something like that.

Taco Bell is about to lay the smackdown on a law firm

A story came out a little while ago that an Alabama law firm, one of those places that love stirring up trouble to make a buck, was suing Taco Bell for advertising their ground beef products when in actuality their taco meat is allegedly something like 36 percent meat. Not so, apparently. Here are some print ads that Taco Bell is running...

So this law firm in Alabama will probably be sued into oblivion for an obvious attempt at winning a frivolous lawsuit. I'm not sorry for their at all.

Free Tacos at Taco Bell?!?! I'm going to get my fat on

Guess what? If I really want a taco for free... I can get one!

Taco Bell is so anxious for you to try one of its Fresco Tacos, it will give you one free. Go to www.drivethrudiet.com and click on the taco icon for a coupon — "valid for 7 days from download or until 1 million free taco coupons are redeemed (including online and print coupons), whichever occurs first."

There's a fair amount of fine print: One per customer, subject to availability and so forth. But the detail you really need to know is that Fresco Tacos have fewer than 200 calories apiece. They're on Taco Bell's special Drive-Thru Diet menu. For a store locator, go to www.tacobell.com.
