I always thought the taco “meat” looked just like wet cat food lol

Though, I wouldn’t doubt Jack would switch to non-trans fat oil in the future, the issue is the cost of it.

Jack’s cheeseburger is pretty standard, throw some onions on it and BAM! it’s a McDonald’s cheeseburger.

If you’re so worried about trans fat…learn to exercise

Either way, I prefer the chicken teriyaki bowl. I rarely get the tacos, maybe a couple times out of the year.

JIB tacos are to the other fast food tacos, what White Castle burgers are to other fast food burgers. An acquired taste during the day, but dang tasty at 2:45am.

(that is, replace the fries with a taco.)

Odd taco fact, the book “Eat This, Not That” suggests substituting it for a small order of fries. Among other things, 4 gram drop in trans fats. I think you’ll also restore 2 seconds to your lifespan.

edit: you’d get more protein eating 764 calories of pasta. that is a VERY low protein to calorie ratio.

Jack in the crack again eh? Yes for 2.99 this is sort of a bargin, just remember that greasy food from Jack destroys your body and errodes your soul, although it does lubricate the ol digestive system if you know what I mean.

Marvo, I don’t care if JITB pays you $2.99 to eat it. There are NO “pros” for a meal like that that has 6 grams of trans fat.

I don’t hate to admit it, but I love JITB tacos, sober or otherwise. I hate the fact that JITB is right down the street from my job. When I go there 2 times in a week and am thinking about the third time I take a walk around my office and see the whales stressing out the gas cylinders on their office chairs, or the people who offend me with their cankles the size of oak trees whose super stretched out tattoo of a dolphin looks like varicose veins, make me think otherwise and go eat a salad.

I love how much you insist upon torturing yourself with shit food. You are a True American Hero. Love, Gimmeyummy

Despite my initial wariness of the restaurant trans fat ban in NYC, when I see that there are places still selling food with 6 grams of Trans, I feel almost grateful that I don’t have to worry about it!

Dont you love the fact that even if you dont know someone at all they can still piss you off via internet?? :)

Leave you with this then: who cares what people eat? People honestly know what is good for them (healthy wise) and what is not good for them. It is so funny about trans fat now because people talk about only because the news media keeps putting the crap in the news. If you ask a person to honest describes what trans fats are and the effects they would look at you with the “deer staring in the headlight” glare. Then run too google it. So eat what you want and die happy.

@C W – No that I must respond but is this really a bash? “Yeah, you can’t really beat that $2.99 with a stick. With the trans fats it’s like JIB unzipped their pants and are just lettin’ it all hang out, they’re not ashamed of it apparently.” ….also, are aware how bad trans fats are? They’re horrible. And actually that comment is a praise…I’m saying that you can’t get a better deal or more food for $3. I’ve always mentioned that I like Jack in the Box. In all honesty I would love to eat this stuff but the fact is that it IS so unhealthy.

Just because someone works at a grocery store (let’s say) and sells beer to a shopper does that mean they endorse liver disease? Yes I let people decide what they’d like to enjoy. Another huge difference is that I endorse attempting an eating challenge, ONCE, not as a daily meal….I think it’s interesting to see the limits one can push their body and mind. I would never even want my own customers to eat my product daily. Everyone knows whats right for them and who am I to tell them otherwise. When I mention something is unhealthy I’m speaking on my own accord and whether or not I would eat it personally. I would never consume something with trans fats.

Plus……most importantly….I don’t care what you say :) As you shouldn’t care whay I say.
