Hey guys. I know you all hate hearing me talk about it, and Im sure youre really tired of hearing about it, but for those of you that havent heard about it, I invite you to join myself and thousands across the states in boycotting Taco Bell for their ill-treatment to their tomato pickers. Yum! food brands goes to poor countries like Mexioco, El ( Read more... )

And keep in mind that Taco Bell is part of a trifecta of Fast Food chains.......I *believe* the three in that company are Pizza Hut, KFC, and Taco Bell.

Good to see you around!!!!!!

Haha Thanks! Yeah, actually along with those you named, they also work with A&W and Long John Silvers. Although the reason Taco Bell is being so targeted is because theyre the only ones that use, and refuse to up the pay, for tomatoes and their pickers.

Hope youre well! <3Becca

you'd think they'd all be able to get their tomatoes from the same place, considering that it's all one company. but i'm really not informed enough about this to have much of an opinion or input.

You obviously don't understand Central American economy or culture in the slightest bit. Why don't you try to get a little bit different perspective on this "injustice" before you make a fool of yourself with all this protest. What's more, I beg of you not to spread your whiney, bitchy, liberal, gimme-gimme culture to anywhere else besides the U.S. It already plagues this country enough. Thanks alot! Hope you're well!

Im interested to know your perspective on the issue. Obviously its all over now and Yum! did sign the contract to pay their workers in Fl more and all, but Im just interested in your opinion of the matter because I would really hate to look as ignorant as I maybe do... if that makes sense.. thanks.

---and I dont mean all this in a rude way at all, obviously you did but I dont care because Im all for new perspective and opinion.
