I’m as big a fan as anyone of Taco Bell. I don’t eat there much, but when I do, I find it fantastic. That said, I usually only put back one item. A Cheesy Gordita Crunch, or one of the newer, specialty ones. Then that’s it. That’s more than enough Tee Bell for a month.
In a post titled, “I was Fat Shamed by a Taco Bell Employee,” Chuck Carroll said he once weighed over 400 pounds. Part of the reason? His daily consumption of Taco Bell, which is fucking unreal.

10,000 MILLIGRAMS OF SODIUM. How in the FUCK is that humanly possible?
How?
He even says he sometimes put that back twice in a day. FUCKING TWICE.
“You eat too much,” he says an employee told him once after placing the order. Which… yea. I think we can all agree on that.
That said, this guy’s gargantuan appetite and the employee’s stating the obvious has a happy ending.
Six years later and 265 pounds lighter it’s hard for me to look back at the man I was. Until I began writing this column I never tallied up the sum of my daily Taco Bell binge. And as I type this I can feel my stomach begin to churn and the sting of being told “you eat too much” starting to return.
Good shit, dude. Read his whole powerful piece here.
