Taco Bell, depending on what you get, is actually one of the healthiest fast food options readily available, especially late at night. Ironically, the taco salad is the least healthy on the menu (might be beat by the taco pizza, but my store wasn't allowed to sell/make that). Just avoid anything fried; guacamole is one of those fatty "health foods". To make it even healthier, ask for the items you order to be made "fresco", which means no dairy (cheese, sour cream, applicable sauces).

Working at a Taco Bell didn't change in any way how I ate there. I had already stopped eating the ground beef product. The downside to this: the steak & grilled chicken are more expensive. But it is an investment in more efficient body fuel, & better health in the end.

In the end, it's about common sense & moderation. A switch from regular soda to diet is a step in the right direction, but should be considered a stepping stone to getting rid of soda all together. This last summer, I used tang (mixed strong 'cause the tangyness is the tastiest part) to ween myself off soda because working the oven in a bread factory that doesn't get below 90 degrees Fahrenheit inside for months prioritized staying hydrated. A truck driver at work dropped like 20lbs when he switched to diet soda, & another 30lbs when he kicked it altogether with the help of tea.

I'll shut up before I start to ramble.

I disagree, , after '96 , everything is made and prepped off site, and only redheaded an assembled. If you want anything close to healthy late at night. Plan ahead to buy it or go to a 24 hour grocery store.

I didn't say it was healthier than making it yourself. My argument is that: if one is going to eat fast food, there are much worse options than Taco Bell. And yes, it is all varying degrees of processed food stuffs. The shredded cheese (as of a few years back when I worked there) is real cheese, though. Had a chunk almost as big as my fist drop out of a bad cause that bit didn't get shredded like the rest of the baf lol.
