Though widely known for its cheap and fast meals, your local Taco Bell may be different than you think. With recent changes in attempt to become “The Healthiest Fast Food Chain”, the business has been on the road to become better than other fast food joints.

According to Business Insider, Taco Bell has removed all artificial ingredients from their kitchens, switched to cage free eggs, and even reduced their sodium across the board by 15%. The chain also offers an assortment of vegetarian options for those who aren’t loco about meaty alternatives.

Among these improvements, the Mexican fast food chain plans to expand their business and open 2,000 new restaurants by 2022, each built with an exterior to reflect the community they are apart of.

With these new changes, however, comes some skepticism on whether or not these vast improvements are even possible.

“I think it’s a little optimistic of them because of how unhealthy they are now,” said Cassy Korah, senior. “Also, if they’re trying to become a healthier food chain, they’re on the right track, but people may be reluctant to try the healthier options especially if they are more expensive.”

However, the loyal Taco Bell customers are hopeful for what is in store for the popular chain.

“I didn’t know about the changes, but now that I know, I have another excuse to go eat there, and that’s cool,” said Cameran Maxeiner, senior.

Though the restaurant’s transition is a happy surprise for it’s fans, those who haven’t had it are being swayed to give it a try once the healthier efforts are in full swing. With the surprising advancements, many feel it is a step in the right direction. Even though the franchise will never be the most nutritious meal choice, it is a great improvement for fast food.

“Fast food chains are huge all over the world, and people are constantly feeding their body it because it’s cheap, quick, and efficient,” said Morgan Gorecki, senior. “It’s about time that these chains start caring and informing people about what goes into their food.”
