Jack in the Box CEO donated hundreds of thousands of dollars to John McCains campaign.

true story.

Tacos are non-ideological.

I've long suspected that the "meat" in their tacos is not organic. Don't care. Delicious in my tummy.

I eat actual food with nutritional value day after day for weeks at a time.

Seriously, though...you have access to authentic, delicious Mexican food. Why would you want to eat that garbage? Immediate bee-line to any burrito stand ending in o's...

I wasn't talking about "organic" in the marketing sense. I meant "organic" in the literal sense -- as in, I'm not sure the "meat" in those delicious tacos is actually food. It probably just sits in your intestine until surrounded by enough other stuff to pass. Oh my god, I can't wait.

i have a feeling you cant be talked out of this.

Hey wait a minute, were you the one who gave me shit about the joke post I made about inventing "White Trash Nachos" while my wife was sick?

Oh yeah, you would have hated them. They were awesome. And by awesome, I mean, totally without any redeemable value whatsoever.

<h2>Jack in the Box E. coli Outbreak - Western States</h2>
On January 13, 1993, the Washington Department of Health (WDOH) was notified that a cluster of children suffering hemolytic uremic syndrome (HUS) secondary to E. coli infection was being treated in a Seattle-area hospital and that there had been an increase in emergency room visits from patients with bloody diarrhea. In response to the apparent outbreak, WDOH began interviewing case-patients for an epidemiologic investigation and learned that nearly all patients had consumed hamburgers purchased from Jack in the Box restaurants in the days before becoming ill.

The WDOH E. coli outbreak investigation led to the discovery that regular-sized hamburger patties and “jumbo” hamburger patties produced by Von Companies of California and sold by Jack in the Box were the source of the E. coli outbreak. The outbreak strain of E. coli O157:H7 was isolated from 11 lots of patties produced on November 29 and 30, 1992, and Jack in the Box issued a recall of all ground beef produced on that day that was still in restaurants. About 20 percent of the implicated ground beef was recovered through the recall.

Since the ground beef identified as the source of the outbreak had been distributed to Jack in the Box restaurants in Washington, Idaho, California, and Nevada, all states investigated cases of bloody diarrhea that had been reported since November 15, 1992 to determine whether patients had eaten hamburgers from Jack in the Box in the days before becoming ill. By the end of February 1993, the states had reported the following:

• Washington reported 602 patients with bloody diarrhea or HUS. 477 Washingtonians were culture-confirmed with E. coli infections, with illness onset peaking between January 17 and January 20, 1993. 144 people were hospitalized; 30 developed HUS, and three died.
• Idaho reported 14 culture-confirmed E. coli O157:H7 cases with illness onset dates between December 11, 1992 and February 16, 1993. Four people were hospitalized; one developed HUS
• California reported six culture-confirmed cases, with 34 patients meeting the outbreak-case definition with illness onset dates between November 15 1992 and January 31, 1993. Fourteen people were hospitalized; seven developed HUS, and one child died.
• Nevada reported only one culture-confirmed case, with 58 other patients meeting the outbreak-case definition with illness onset dates between December 1, 1992 and February 7, 1993. Nine people were hospitalized; three developed HUS.

Seventy-three Jack in the Box restaurants were ultimately identified as part of the outbreak

#1 Chain that has gotten me sick in my Life period. And it's not even close

Yeah, actually I think it was in Fast Food Nation where the author says that because of this incident Jack in the Box is probably one of the safest fast food places now because they cracked down so much after this happened.

Nice try.

good job on the moderation! just so you know, i do eat bad things too, i just don't like fast food.

now that you bring up the 2 for 99¢ thing, i have a question, these things have been that price since i was a teen, how can they do it??

the "meat" in the tacos is actually powdered soy with flavoring thats reconstituted and heated up. not discrediting them because i normally get 6 of them when i go to JinB, either 6 tacos or 4 tacos/1 chkn sandwich.

We don't have much of a garden, but we are considering it. Well, my wife is.

We planted pumpkins this year for the kids to have at Halloween. They just started sprouting and it should be fun to pick them and carve em up. The oldest is very interested in his pumpkin growing in the ground.

I stopped by the grocery store to grab lunch one day last week, and ordered half of one of those little rotisserie chickens.

"I'd like one of those half chickens, please."

"The whole chicken is only a dollar more, let me get you one of those."

"No thank you, I just want a half."

"But you can have the other half for dinner..."

"PLEASE - I just want half. I wouldn't care if the half was more expensive than the whole. Just give me the half."

I appreciate the effort to try and help me get more value, but when I reiterate what I want, just give it to me.
