Im confused about Taco Bell's meat. Im not asking if its real meat or not. That is not my question. My question is how can something only be 88% of something. Their claim is "Taco Bell uses 88% of real beef and the other 12% is special spices." It makes no sense to me. a object, their meat for example, is understood to be 100% of something. 100% is a whole object. The object being its beef. Half of the beef would still constitute 100% of real beef. How can 12% of spices make up for the other half that is not real meat? Im so confused.
