I listened to the podcast at an increased speed while distracted so I might have heard wrong but I thought they mentioned taco bell making people sick.
Taco Bell has nothing compared to certain Asian and African food especially Indian food in terms of hotness and spice level.
My guess is you need to only get Taco Bell in the nice suburbs where all the women ( even the black ones ) who work there are skinny
Then they will wash their hands after they go to the bathroom
Not California
